Mafia's Little Girl

Chapter 2

Martina's POV

''Martina?'' Lily called me.

''What?''

''Do you wanna come to my place around five?''

''I don't know,'' I say insecurely.

''Come on. I know your mom has night shift today.'' She said making puppy dog eyes.

''Fine fine... I'll come.''

''Yesss.'' She said making a happy dance.

I giggled at her before going home.

After I entered the house I saw my mom sitting in a living room.

''Hey mom, I'm home.''

''Hey, Tina. I made you lunch. It's in the oven.''

''Thanks, mom.''

I opened the oven to find meat and mashed potatoes. It's still warm so I just took the fork and dug in. My mom is the best cook ever.

''Mom can I go to Lily's today? She called me.''

''Yes you can but you must send me a message so I know you are okay.''

''Of course.''

I went into my room to take nap before going to Lily's.

Theodor's POV

I finished my business and called my right-hand man regarding a traitor thing.

I noticed that small amounts of money from companies are disappearing. There must be a traitor in the accounting department.

I wanted to take care of that problem on my own. Nobody can escape from my hands, I make sure of it.

My man told me the traitor is Mr. Smith. He was the accounting department manager.

I got up and decided to visit him. I took one man with me and went to find him.

He was easy to find when I saw him going home in his neighborhood. I watched him in a dark alley.

''M-Mr. Black. What are you d-doing here?'' He said frightened while backing away.

''I think you know after I found out. Have your mother ever told you that it's not nice to steal?''

''I don't know what are you talking about?'' He acts stupid.

''I think you do know. You stole a million dollars from a company in a month.''

''That's not true.''

''But it is true,'' I said stepping forward.

''Do you want to confess and payback or?'' I say.

''I don't have money and I didn't do it.''

''Very well then.'' I gave up trying and took out my gun.

''See you.'' I shoot him in ahead.

He thought he is smarter than me, well that's wrong.

''Take care of him. I'm going.''

''Yes Sir.''

I got out from the alley ready to go when I heard a high-pitched scream.

Martina's POV

I was already three hours at Lily's. I saw it got dark so I decided to go home. My mom will be worried.

''Lily, I think I should go home.''

''Okay. We talked for a while now. Do you want to call a cab?''

''No. It's just 10 minutes away.''

''Okay.''

I waved to her and went home. Her neighborhood is quite scary at night, but it's not my first time.

I was walking home when I heard a gunshot. I froze in my place and my heart was going to explode.

I was almost running when I bumped into a group of guys. I said 'sorry' ready to leave but one of them grabbed my wrist. This is not happening!!!

''Hey, little girl. What's the rush?''

''I-I need to g-go home. Let me go.'' I say stuttering.

''Don't be afraid of us. We can have fun.'' The other one said touching my cheek with his dirty hand.

I slapped his hand away with my free arm. That seemed too angry at him.

''I thought of a nice way but it's not working on bitches like you.''

''Let me go or I'll scream,'' I say shaking.

''I wouldn't dare you.''

He then grabbed my hair and threw me on the floor. I almost screamed but he put his hand on my mouth and got on top of me. Tears started brimming in my eyes when he put his hand under my shirt.

I never thought the scenes in movies were real. But this was real. I was going to get r***d if I don't do something.

I kicked him where the sun doesn't shine and he let go of my mouth allowing me to scream. Soon I heard a gunshot again.

They looked up in the direction of a sound and started running.

When I looked up, I was surprised to see the same rude stranger from before. At least he was the one I recognized.

I ran to him and hugged him tightly.

''Help me,'' I whispered.

''They're gone.'' He says.

I don't want to let him go. What if they come back? I almost got r***d on a street by some strangers.

He put his hands around me rubbing my back. I didn't think that rude stranger will comfort me, he is not so bad actually.

''Do you want to go home?''

I shook my head.

''I'm alone at home,'' I whisper in his chest.

''Do you want to go to my place with me?''

''You won't do anything?''

''Why would I? I saved you.''

''Right. Thank you.''

''Would you let go of me so we can go?'' He chuckled. I figured out what was I doing and let him go.

''Sorry,'' I say wiping my tears.

''Nevermind. Let's go.'' He took my hand and lead me to a car parked on the other side of a street.

He is rich. The car looks so expensive. He opened the door for me before I got in.

I buckled a seatbelt and he drove off. After 20 minutes he parked in front of a big building.

We got in front of an elevator. He pressed the number for the highest floor.

By opening the elevator we got into the nice house.

''You can sit on a couch. What do you want to drink?''

''Water, please.'' He left in the kitchen and I sat on the couch.

He came back with the glass of water.

''Thank you.'' I drank a whole glass.

He removed his jacket and sat next to me. I gulped when I saw his muscles through a shirt. The shirt is almost ripped.

''What did you do alone in the alley?''

''I was going home from my friend's house when I heard a gunshot. I got scared and bumped into that people.''

''A gunshot?'' He asks surprised.

''Yeah...''

''Hmm... Do you want to eat something?''

Just when he said that my stomach growled. I looked down blushing.

''Well, that's a sign.'' He chuckled.

I smiled uncomfortably.

''Do you know how to cook or I'll order take out?''

''I'll cook. That's better than take out.'' I smiled.

He showed me the kitchen and went to change his clothes. I made mac and cheese since he doesn't have so much food in the house. He is probably always ordering take-outs.

He came back in grey sweatpants and a black T-shirt. I bet he has a six-pack underneath his shirt.

I set plates for us and put food.

''This is delicious.''

''Thank you,'' I said blushing.

We finished eating and decided to watch a movie.

''I never really introduced myself. I'm Martina Grey.'' I say extending my hand.

''I'm Theodor Black.'' He shook my hand back.

''You are what?'' I say widening my eyes. I'm watching a movie with the most famous and richest man in New York.

''That's me.'' He said smirking.

''Woww.''

''Is there a problem with my existence?''

''No. I'm surprised that's all.'' I shrugged.

''Why don't you have more food in the fridge?'' I ask changing the subject.

''I don't do well in the kitchen.''

''Tsk, tsk... Take-outs are bad. You can get sick.''

''I eat takeouts for the last ten years and I didn't get sick.'' I gasp.

''You didn't eat homemade food for ten years?''

''Yes.''

''My mom is always making my lunch. You should come sometimes to my house.'' I say.

''I will think about it.''

After our talk, he gave me his T-shirt and let me sleep on his bed while he was sleeping on the couch. I feel sorry for him. He is double the size of me and he is sleeping on a couch. I texted my mom that I'll have a sleepover at Lily's.

I woke up with something heavy on my stomach. I look down to see a big arm across my belly. Theo was sleeping peacefully next to me. When did he get in here? I removed his hand and got up. After I finished with the bathroom, I went to make breakfast.

I found the ingredients for the pancakes. When I finished, he got out of the room.

''Good morning.'' I smile.

''Morning. Sorry I fell asleep next to you. I fell off the couch in the middle of the night.''

''That's fine. I told you that you should take a bed but you were stubborn.'' I tease him.

''Very funny. My back hurts cause I fell.'' He said rubbing his back.

''That's what you get when you don't listen.'' I laughed.

He shoots me a glare shutting me up.

''I made you breakfast.''

I say handing him a plate.

''Thanks.''

''I should probably go home when we finish. My mom is sleeping now because she had a night shift.''

''Okay. What work does your mother do?''

''She is a nurse.'' I smiled.

''That's a decent job.''

''Yeah. She is great.''

''Does your dad work somewhere?''

''He was working before on a construction site but the accident happened and he died.''

''I'm sorry.''

''It's okay.''

''Are you finished? I will d

rive you home.'' He said changing a subject.

''Yeah...I will get dressed.''

He took the keys after I changed and led me to the car.

I told him the directions to my house and we came in less than 10 min.

''Thank you again.''

''You are welcome.''

''I'll give you my number so I can call you for lunch sometimes.''

''Sure.''

We exchanged numbers and I waved him before going into the house. I was doing a happy dance before quietly going into my room. I didn't even know why I was happy.
