The Mafia’s Heart’s Keeper

Chapter 13

Hazel POV 

I shifted feeling cold and searched for the blanket. I opened my eyes and saw that Xavier wasn't here. Maybe he is downstairs ,I reminded myself. I went to the bathroom, did  my business and brushed my teeth. I pulled my hair in a high ponytail and wore a pair of high waisted shorts and a floral top.

As I walked down to the hall,  I accidentally bumped into a girl. She had blonde hair and grey eyes. Her height was similar to mine and she looked quite familiar.

“I am sorry.” I apologized feeling embarrassed for being so clumsy. 

“'It’s alright.” I smiled at her which she returned.

“I am Skylar, Xavier's Sister who are you ?” So she is his sister that's why she looks familiar.

“I am Hazel.”  I introduced myself while extending my hand for her to shake. She gladly smiled and took it.

“But what are you doing over here?” Now what should I tell her? Should I tell her that I am Xavier's  Girlfriend. But he didn't ask me out yet. Or should I tell her about Darren?  That would not be a wise idea, I thought to myself. My mouth opened and closed like a fish as I struggled to answer her question.

“She is my Girlfriend.” A masculine voice spoke. I turned around and saw Xavier walking towards us. He was wearing shorts and a black tee. His hair was messy and he looked good as always.  

Tell me again, why is he so perfect?

I got rid of my thoughts when he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me towards him. My back hit his chest and I could feel the moisture in between my legs as his rock hard abs rubbed against my back. I cleared my throat and ignored it.

“Girlfriend? She is your girlfriend!?” She squealed and Xavier nodded his head kissing my temple.

“I am so sorry but it was really nice to meet you. I’ll see you later.” I smiled tightly and went downstairs to the kitchen to grab something to eat.

I opened the refrigerator and took out some orange juice. Turning around, I was startled by Xavier’s presence.

“What was that?” I asked impatiently.

 Does he really want me to be his girlfriend?

“What was what?” He smirked teasingly. 

“How come I am your girlfriend? You still didn't ask me out yet.”  I exclaimed and winced at how cringe that sounded. 

Why do I have to be such a dumb b***h? I mentally cursed myself.

“I am asking you out now.”' He pulled me closer until there was no space between us. I felt a lump form in my throat and gulped. 

What was he saying?

“Hazel Rose, will you go out with me?” He asked with a smirk on his face.  

Shit! s**t! What am I supposed to say?

Whatever your heart says. My conscience said

Do I really want this? He is a mafia leader for f**k’s sake. He has enemies and any day could be my last day. But I have never been treated by anyone as good as him. He makes me wanna take the risk and I definitely wanted to give it a shot. It wasn’t like I haven’t faced death before. His smirk was long gone and replaced by a frown.  

“Yes, I will.” He smiled causing his frown to disappear and leaned in. A chill ran down my spine as our lips touched. He shoved his tongue in asking for entrance which I gladly accepted. His kisses were addictive. Each kiss was as good as the first and I could never get enough from him. He pulled away quickly much to my dismay, I pouted and he chuckled.

“Do you want to go shopping for our date tonight?”' I nodded my head and he gave me his credit card which I refused to take at first but he insisted.

“Have fun and take Skylar with you.”

“Thanks.” I answered. He gave me a quick kiss on my forehead and went to his office.

I still couldn’t process what had actually happened. After a lot of searching, I had managed to find Skylar’s room with the help of no one. I knocked on the room and Skylar answered.

“Come in.” I entered and my jaw dropped to the floor at the scene in front of me. Skylar sat on Max’s lap and from the looks they were having a makeout session.

“Hi, Hazel.” I stared at them in shock and confusion.

 “Max, what are you doing over here?” Skylar looked at me in confusion and then at  Max.

“What does it look like? I am with my girlfriend.” What the hell? Skylar was his girlfriend.

“You never told me.”

“I forgot.” He mumbled while rubbing the back of his head and Skylar smacked him on his head.

“Ow! What was that for?” He winced while trying to look innocent.

“For not telling her. You do know that she is Xavier's girlfriend.” She huffed in annoyance. Max’s eyes widened in shock.

“What!?” He shouted and I felt colour rush to my cheeks. They both turned their attention to me.

“Xavier asked me out today.” I explained fighting the blush.

“He didn’t tell me. I am going to go and ask him.” He quickly got out of the room but not before pecking Skylar's lips.They looked good together. I released a breath which I didn't know that I was holding.

“So, I just came to ask that do you wanna go shopping  to buy me a dress?”' I asked Skylar hoping that she will help me with it for I had no experience in this field.

“Of course! Let’s go.” She took my hand and dragged me to my room. I quickly got dressed and took the cash that I had along with the credit card that Xavier gave me.

“Let’s go.” I grinned and went to the basement with her. Skylar took out a black car and we drove off to the nearest shopping malls. We reached the shopping mall an hour ago but still couldn't find that perfect dress.

“How about this?” Skylar asked with a black lace dress in her hand. It went mid thigh and had a cut on the back. It looked gorgeous.  I nodded my head and went to the changing room. I slipped the dress on. It hugged my body perfectly and showed of my curves. I got out and Skylar looked me up and down in shock. 

Did i look that bad?

“Oh my god, you look stunning.” She complimented and I smiled.

“Thanks. We are taking this.” I said while making my way to the changing room. I wore my clothes and paid for the dress. Xavier’s credit card was not needed as I could cover it up. I don’t like using someone else money. We got in our car and drove off to the house.

Anonymous POV 

I watched her make her way to the car and drove off. My phone rang and I answered it.

“Hello.”

“Did you see her?” 

“Yes, she was here for shopping and just left now.” I informed him. 

“Good. Keep me updated.” 

I am going to ruin them. He thought that I wasn't worth working with him. He is going to repent it. I smirked and quickly hid myself so that no one notices me.
