Prove it
Alex's POV
Thankfully, there wasn't too much work to do today since we just received a shipment yesterday, so I gave most of the members the day off.
I didn't have any work to do at the office either, so I decided to stay at home as well.
"Cami wake up!" I yelled walking into her room and opened the windows to let the light in, but she didn't even twitch.
"Damn, we can hide bodies in here and no one would notice" Still no response...
"Oh my god.. Elijah?!" I yelled
"No way" She said quickly bolting up.
"Oh, that wakes you up doesn't it?" I asked raising a brow, low-key amused.
"f**k you" She said
"Well then, head to the office you have got paperwork to do" I said with a serious face.
"Still, f**k you, boss" She said laying back down.
"Wanna plan my birthday party?" I asked taking a deep breath.
"Wait, you serious?" She asked.
"Yeah, I never thought I would say this after mothers death, but I know she wouldn't like it so. If there was someone I knew who loved to plan parties it would be her, I want her to look at us from above and be happy" I said.
Also it's a good idea for the plan, I can invite Elijah over as an apology for shouting at him in the cemetery that day, but Cami doesn't need to know that right now.
"Hell yeah, let me make some coffee and I'll see you in the living room" She said sitting up again and stretching.
With that we sat all morning planning everything. Location, date, colours, what we would do and eat and drink and blah blah blah... Then we finally came to guests. Most of them were business related which kind of seemed to piss Camila of but let's face it, business was the reason I'm doing this get together.
"Oh, also add Elijah on the list" I said looking at my phone trying to make this as casual as possible.
"Alex, I don't know if it's a good idea to mix business into this. I mean come on it's your birthday. Have fun and don't worry about that stupid gang for now" She sighed.
"Look, I know that it isn't the best idea but you of all people should understand why I'm doing this. I need to know everything about mothers death, Cami. There are probably millions of ways to get rid of them, but I need to know what happened"
Yes, I'm mostly doing this to get a chance to learn about mother's death. No one has an idea how that fire started, isn't that suspicious? I sure as hell think that.
"Okay, but you tell Alessandro that" Camila replied.
"Deal" I agreed wondering why she cared about Alessandro so much all of the sudden. I tried telling myself that it might be cause it's his birthday too, but it didn't feel like that was it..
After a few hours we were finally finished. Well for the calls and stuff we still had to go to the location and decide how we want everything to be done.
For location we chose one of our houses, okay more like mansions. We chose the smallest one since no one lives there. Dad bought it for mother a while ago to throw her high-end parties there.
She was truly obsessed with planning and decorating..
Every year, every holiday the Salvatores would have a party at this mansion. It would be the most extra event of all. New York's high end businessmen & women would all attend. Some would even fly in from other countries. But those stopped ever since mother passed away. Now it's time to bring that back I guess.

"Should I invite her to dinner or some s**t?" I asked Enzo who sat on the sofa all relaxed and sipping on a drink.
"Bro, why are you acting like such a p***y?" Enzo replied
"How is it that I never have my gun with me when you call me a p***y?" I replied asking genuinely curious.
"God has plans for me bro" Enzo laughed.
"Yeah to get a beating" I said throwing the first thing beside me and landing it on his stomach.
"Not cool bro, not cool" He groaned with his hand on top of his stomach "But seriously and no offense, why are you acting like a p***y ?"
"I- I don't know. Like what the f**k am I supposed to do? Usually it's the girls throwing themselves at me not the other way around"
"Bro, you sound whipped as f**k" Enzo replied.
"I swear to god I'll-" I was interrupted by my phone. I took it up from my pocket and the ID said Alexandra Jonas, this was easier than I thought I smirked to myself walking out of Enzo's office to mine.
"Hello" I answered trying to sound as causal as possible.
"Hey.. Elijah?" A sweet voice replied, "How are you?"
"Just fine and you?" I asked.
"I'm good. I wanted to apologize for what happened that day at the cemetery, I shouldn't have shouted at you like that" She said sounding pretty sincere.
Could she really be a mafia leader? I thought to myself. She sounds so sweet and... innocent..?!
"It's fine don't worry about it" I replied.
"Well prove it" She demanded showing her fiery side again.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I'm turning 21 tomorrow, so I planned on throwing a party, well more like a get together next Saturday.. 7pm. I'll send you the address. If it really is fine show up and wish me a happy birthday" She said and holy s**t she was good at playing with the words..
"Wait, you had three Jack Daniels in my club, didn't even get drunk and you aren't even 21?!" I asked acting surprised as if I didn't already know that.
"Yeah right, about that night. Damn a lot of stuff happened that night" She replied in a less confident tone.
There is no way this girl has s**t to do with the mafia.
"Well I guess I'll try to see you on Saturday then?" I replied cutting the silence.
"Yeah, I'm sorry I couldn't send a proper invite, but I don't have your address, or anything in fact" She laughed.
"It's okay"
"I'll see you later I guess" She said
"Yeah, bye mia bella" I said
Well, this was indeed easier than I thought.
But when the f**k did I turn into a p***y again?
"Mia bella? You are whipped bro" Enzo said walking in my office.
Man I wanna whip his ass..
