The Mafia Man

Orlando

God, I’ve been thinking about her all week my little girl she such a gem. I know she probably didn’t want or need saving, but I did anyway those Hemmings think they own everything, but they are wrong I do. Plus I didn’t want them to shoot her either.

She was amazing I’d never seen a girl like her in all my teenage life and now as an adult, I'm twenty I must say this girl stole my heart not only by her looks but her ability to fight back. She is so agile she must’ve been taught how to protect herself by someone and was going to find out who.

My men are looking into her background, but I’m sure I’ll see her again I wanted her and I’d made that clear to her and I didn’t give a goddamn about the age gap she will be mine and only mine. I’m a possessive man and I have been told I have an evil side to me like I care I flip sides when and if I need to right now I need to keep her safe and I will.

Imagine my delight when an old friend contacted me none other than Henry Richards the principal of Thornton Academy where I first saw my angel. He wanted me and my brother Daniel and to help two girls with self-defence classes I told him. ‘I’d be glad to, Eli.’ when I asked who they were for he told me they were for two girls named Kacey Leigh and Milly Adams.

I chuckled knowing full well Kacey didn’t need any self-defence lessons, but what the hey anything to see her and get to know her, so I agreed and I’d let my brother know.

"Hey, Dan."

"Bro."

"We have to go to Thornton’s tonight."

"We do, why?*

"Self defence lessons."

"Since when did we give them for free?"

"Since I owe a favour."

"Henry right."

"How you guess."

"Cause. You always owe him favours."

"What can I say? he’s my compadre."

He laughed. "Sure whatever, anything for you bro."

"I’m glad you agree you have a lot of work to do with this one."

"So who is it?"

"A girl name Milly Adams."

"No, no not possible. You know me and girls Orlando."

"It’s self-defence lessons aid not a f*****g date relax.*

"And who are you giving lessons to?"

"Her friend, Kacey Leigh."

"Isn’t that the chick you dragged into the car?"

"I didn’t drag her in. I was saving her ass. And yes it is."

"I don’t think that girl needs it, she can kick ass."

'I know, but you know Henry there has to be a reason for it. And I bet it had to do with the f*****g Hemmings."

"I’ll be there what time?"

"4:30 after school. I’ll meet you there."

"You will."

Kacey

.mIt had been almost a week since I had seen him and I was glad for that, but after we’d been told by the head we were to do self-defence lessons I agreed knowing I didn’t need them, but Milly did and I’d be there for her to encourage her she’s my best friend and I hate how everyone treats her yes she is on the larger side but she’s trying, but I love her however she is.

We grew up together and I’d do anything for her. I’d dieted alongside her thigh I did not need to give her encouragement though she was okay as she was she was a bubbly girl until all the insults began in high school from the bitches and the look at me I’m perfect guys.

God, I f*****g hated them we both got bullied, but unlike Milly, I knew how to stand up for myself even though it made no difference with the f*****g Hemmings trying to rule the school and turning everyone against us.

I haven’t seen Milly since the first lesson we usually share break and lunch but I can’t seem to find her where the f**k is she? If anyone’s upset her, especially the millers I’ll f*****g kill them.

"Hey sweetie, why are you crying?" Daniel asked her sitting down.

"I hate my life."

"I’m sure you don’t."

"I do." She looked up into his green eyes so full of secrets.

"Why is that sweetie?"

"Just look at me, I hate myself."

"There’s nothing wrong with you."

"Yes, there is, I’m fat and ugly."

"Who said you are? all I see is a beautiful young lady."

She flushed.

"No one else seems to think so. I’ve tried so hard to change all of this, but it’s been so damn hard my best friend even dieted with me to help me."

"She must be some friend."

"She is."

"I’ll tell you what. I’ll help you with no strings. I own a gym I’ll give you a diet plan and an exercise regime okay? This doesn’t mean I don’t like you as you are. I do, but if losing weight is what you want then I’ll help you accomplish it."

Her face beamed as she lunged forward hugging him. "Thank you thank you you won’t regret this."

He smiled hugging her. "I know I won’t."

They moved away from each other. He smiled at her running his hand down her face. Moving forward pressing his lips on hers kissing her,

"Oh my god fatty has her first kiss, that’s f*****g disgusting."

She moved away and ran. Tears fell off her face. He looked evilly at them they would soon be dead. He ran after her.

"Hey!" He said, running after her.

"Leave me alone!"

"Please stop ignore them they’re not worth it."

"No, I’m not please leave me alone."

"I can’t do that I promised I’d help you." He said grabbing her hand and pulling her towards him she fired in his shits as he pulled her in for a hug.

"It’s going to be okay sweetie I’ll take care of you and anyone who makes you cry okay."

She nodded.

He moved away talking his arms around her and wiping her tears away. "That’s better we can’t have that pretty face of yours ruined by tears can we?"

She just looked at him, why was he being so nice to her?

"You should get going isn’t it lunch or something."

"s**t Kacey, she’ll get waiting for me." She looked at him. "Thanks."

He smiled as she jogged away. This had to be the first time he’d ever spoken to a girl without getting tongue-tied. She was something else, he had to make her see that she was better than she thought she was.

"There you are where have you been?"

"I needed time out."

"You’ve been crying again who made you cry again Mil?"

"It doesn’t matter."

"It does."

"No it doesn’t he was so hot Kacey. He didn’t care what I looked like he wasn’t ashamed of me."

"Who?"

"I don’t know he came over to me and spoke to me."

"What have I told you about talking to strangers, Mil?"

"I know I know. This was different he was wow." Were her only words.

"Come on let’s get lunch."

She nodded and I threw my arm over her shoulder. We walked into the canteen getting our lunch with people throwing insults over at Milly about her “boyfriend” and how disgusting it was, how could anyone like her? Her eyes welled up with tears.

"Come on Mil, let’s go."

We stood up walking away the insults kept coming I turned without warning my fist connecting with his jaw he stumbled the next hit his face.

"Leave her the f**k alone Dom. There is nothing wrong with her just you." I grabbed Milly’s hand and pulled her with me storming out of the cafeteria. "Ignore them, Milly. The guy obviously liked you."

"What if I was just an act."

"And what if it wasn’t Mil?"

"I don’t know."

Of course, I got sent to the principles office and had to explain to him what had happened I had left the most important details out of what he’d said to Milly to make me snap them he walked me to the gym.

"Kacey I’d like you to meet your self-defence tutor, Mr Orlando Green."

He turned and smiled at her.

Oh s**t, it was him, she’d avoided him for a week now she knew she had to give him her answer. The headmaster closed the door. Kacey looked at him. "Nice to see you again Kacey."

"Where’s Milly?"

"With my brother in the other sports hall."

"Are you stalking me?"

He laughed. "No. your headmaster asked me to help you learn self-defence, but after what I saw the other night I’m not quite convinced you need it."
