Revenge of the Mafia boss daughter

Chapter 3

Chapter three

I got out my sketch book and my pencil and started drawing her, I was looking at every detail in her face, she was really beautiful, and appealing to look at, after I had made a line on the piece of paper, outlining her face, I focused my gaze back on her and to my surprise she was staring keenly at me....

Sonnet pov

I have been cleaning this fire place for a while now, my arms where starting to ache, I had inhaled a hand ful of ash and started coughing roughly, the ash in this fireplace never seems to get clean, the dust just keeps on coming.

I adjusted my ash stained apron, I wondered how I looked in the maids uniform, I never had time to check how I look in the mirror since I have been here all morning. I shifted my gaze to a window and I saw the security building overhead, it had a magnificent view but that wasn't what caught by attention, I saw Ashton starring at me, I wondered what he was doing,

Before I could decipher what he was doing, Charlie walked up to me, “the boss says that there is going to be a very important dinner tonight so all hands should be on deck to make this evening a success" she said as my gaze was still on the window, so she joined me in looking at the window but we didn't see anyone, “what are you looking at?" She asked me “nothing" I just replied shaking my head.

I had gotten my orders I was to go to the market and get the ingredients for tonight's dinner, but I want too familiar with all the items in the list, I mean we weren't wealthy so we mostly stuck to basic meals or sometimes my mom prepares Korean dishes whenever she felt like she missed home, half the things in this list I didn't know what they were.

I would've asked charlie to follow me but she had her hands full with work, yer job was even more stressful than mine she cleaning the entire house, and judging from the size of that house that is saying something.

I was on my way to the marketplace, my attention was caught by bright green, fancy dress, the design was similar to a peacock it was beautiful, “so a beautiful dress is what catches your fancy" I heard a masculine voice with a deep British accent said. I turned around to meet a face that had a really bright smile, “Ashton" I just said underneath my voice, wait did he follow me here, I thought leaving me a little startled.

“i didn't follow you here if that's what you are thinking, I only came here for the festival of lights" he said pointing towards another direction, I saw a lot of people going into another part of the road all wearing different designer of glow sticks on their necks or carrying them in their arms, I must admit it looked fun going in there.

“you could tag along if you want" he said “no I shouldn't, I have an errand to run" I said trying to refuse even though I knew that I really wanted to go for that party.

“we could be in and out before before anyone even notices that you aren't back yet" he said and I was really tempted to go in, he then decided to pout, “to stop you making that face I'll tag along" gainsy my better judgement, I knew that I was making a mistake.

He grabbed me by the arm, I felt a little shy as my clothes were covered in cinders, “dont worry I don't care about the ash on your dress" he said giving me a million dollar smile revealing his pearly whites, those smiles could make the most depressed person happy. My heart melted a little.

We go to the door and there was a section that the flow sticks were bought, “ill take four please" he said really excitedly, “but we are two people" I said almost laughing “we can never have enough glow sticks" he said smiling at me crazily, gosh I love that smile.

He wore a round glow sticks on his neck, then he proceeded to wear one on my neck, he was behind me, I pulled my hair up as he passed the glow stick in my neck his hand brushes against my skin, it gave me a tingling sensation, I felt like laughing.

“there is a dart board, over there lets test your aim shall we" he said pulling me towards the little kiosk with little stuffed animals around it, he picked up a dart, and threw it missing the mark completely, “careful you could take out an eye out with that thing!" The shop attendant said dodging the dart, as I laughed out loud, I couldn't contain it any longer.

“like you could do any better" he said, I walked up to whee the darts where and picked one, “wish me luck" I said “i would but I'd pretty much don't want you to hit the mark so you know how much tactic and talent goes into throwing a dar...." Before he could complete his sentence I threw it and it hit the centre of the mark shutting him up.

“wow missi you are apparently good at that" the middle aged kiosk keeper brought out a white teddy bear and handed it over to me, I laughed, “heres your price master dart thrower" I said giving him the bear and he just laughed at the sarcasm, “id take it but pink is more of my colour", he said still laughing, visibly you could tell that was not true.

Most of the clothes that he was putting on had a touch of blue in it except for his watch which was gold, we visited several other spots in the festival after which I was sitting alone in a park bench waiting for Ashton he went to go get us drinks. Finally I saw him heading towards me with two mugs in his hands, “apparently root beer is the only drink that is allowed in this party" he said taking his seat next to me.

I took the mug, and took a sip of it, he did the same looking intently at my eyes, “liking the party?" He asked and I just nodded, “it feels nice, being you" I said “how so?" “well you spend your days doing whatever you want, such as going to elaborate parties like this one, while the rest of us work arduously to get even the slightest glimose of the life that you have"

I said and he just looked at me, “yeah I might be privileged, but being me isn't always what everyone makes it out to be, certain rules have been laid down for me to follow if I am to keep this privileged life as you so call it and this life can be really exhausting sometimes, and that's why doing something spontaneous like today, makes me really happy and I am so glad that you were the one here with me today".

I smiled slightly wondering what kind of rules he had to follow, and also what he meant by me being with him today, I did plan on making this a habit, for I knew that it wouldn't sit well with Mrs Brailey, as these thought were rummaging through my head, the song changed to a slow and steady one.

“care to dance my lady?" He said, “i don't do dances" I said slightly ashamed that my dress wasn't near as fancy as the ladies in the arena, plus I was going to stain him with the cinders on my clothes, he peered inti my eyes as if he could read my thoughts, I don't care if you are covered in cinders, no lady here tonight can hold a candle to you, or in this case a fire"

I stared at him like I didn't understand, “well you see candles dont cause cinders but fires on the other hand" he just messed up a really good complement, I shook my head, “okay I'll stop talking now" he said as he pulled me to the dance floor.

“i should warn you I have two left feet" I said and he just laughed, he was so close to me I could feel his breath on my neck, his sturdy body stood firmly in front of me I put my hand around his neck, as he put his hands on my waist, we swayed a bit as I stepped in his foot, “sorry" I said slightly embarrassed, “n big deal, even Micheal Jackson made a mistake every now and then" he said and I just laughed.

“if you say so' I replied even though I highly doubted it, we had danced for a while and i think that I had started to get the hang of it, when I heard a beep beep sound on my phone, I brought it out and I saw a text message from charlie, it read “tou are delaying the boss isn't happy she says where the hell is that scoundrel with the groceries!" My heart gave a thump sound, as I felt the colour drain from my face......
