Mafia Boss and his Girlfriend

Chapter Six

One week after the day I meet Alex in the restaurant, I saw his text message asking us to meet in the restaurant again but I did not reply to him. That last time we meet I did not reply him, I told him that I will think about it and let him know when I get home Lin, my lecturer told me that what will I do and I told her I can't date him, we are different, he is a billionaire, while I am just daughter of my father, I don't know his religion while I am a Muslim, those rich guys normally go out to the event, party, club and all that while I can't go to the club and when they are going to any party or event there date normally wear some skimpy cloth that shows their legs, cleavage and all that but I can't wear that kind of cloth later he may say I should remove my hijab that he doesn't like it while I can't remove my hijab or cap for anything in this world. I can't follow him to anywhere not wearing hijab I can use my turban cap so far I cover my head, can he allow that? Lin said why don't I ask him all this, then I will know maybe he will do it or not because the day I went to meet him in the restaurant I use my hijab and he saw it, she then ask me that did he complain, I said no, so that means he like you the way you are.

"Hi Yasmin, please I am dying to hear your reply and I pray to God that you will give me a positive reply, I am traveling back to Italy next weekend and I want to hear your reply before I go" That is his message he sent to me

"Ok, can we meet today after I finish at work at 5 pm, I will text you the address" I reply him I want to choose the restaurant that we will meet but I choose a local restaurant I want to see his reaction, that is what I can afford, I want to take it step by step, I don't want him thinking I am after his money

"Ok, no problem" He replied me back

When I finish my work I did not go back home to dress or do any makeup I use only my normal makeup I know how to do which is powder and only lip gloss, I want him to know who I am, I don't dress to impress anyone, this is my life and he can't change it, we can adjust to ourselves but I want him to see me for who I am.

After 10 minutes I get to the restaurant he arrived and he has his sit in front of me, the restaurant is not crowded.

"Hi," he said

"Hello" I reply

"Can we order first because I am so hungry and I am waiting for you to eat with you" I said throwing his word back at him, to my surprise he said ok without any regret in his reply and I told him I am the one paying because I am the one that calls him out but he said no that he will pay that he can sit down there and see me paying for our food, then I play a trick with him or let say I manipulate him that if he pays after we finish I will reply him when he comes back from Italy and he said he will get me back for this but to my surprise, I feel relaxed and secured with him and it has never happened before.

After we finish eating I speak first

"Alex I want you to listen to me without interrupting me and then you can reply after I finish," I said but he is smiling and I don't know why

"Ok," he said but still smiling

"Please why are you laughing? Is there anything on my face?" I asked him

"No, I just like the way you call me Alex, no one has ever called me Alex, my parents call me Alexander and my sisters gave me a nickname that both of them call me, my nanny her name is Marie but she is here in New York calls me My son" So that is why he is smiling and wait he has two sisters, another problem what if they don't like me for their brother, " Shut up have he agree to all what you want to tell him," My subconscious tells me

"Ok" I also smile at him

"Alex……. I mean first want I want to tell you is that we are from the different background you are a billionaire as far as I know and I am just the daughter of my father, so we are not from a rich family, my parent have the own small business in the local market and secondly …" He cut me off before I finish

"Wait let's make it one by one let me talk about the first, Yasmin let me tell you something I don't like you because I want us to be the same, I don't have any reason to like you," He said

"I pray five times daily whenever I hear the call for prayer," I said

"No problem about that, if you can teach me how to pray then I also want to learn it," He said

"You know I can't remove my cap (because I am using my turban cap today) or hijab for anything in this world, maybe later you will say you don't like me wearing the hijab, I can't remove it for anything," I said looking at him

"I don't want you to remove it, I like it the way you wear it, I don't want another man to see what is mine," He said smiling and I laugh hearing that 

"I know you go to a club, party or any event and I know you like your date to wear something attractive, tight clothes, a knee-length dress I can't wear all that cloth and I won't disturb you from going to a club with your friends but I can't follow you to a club and I don't drink any alcohol," I said looking at him as if we are dong question and answer test.

"I am going to any party or event, you will always follow me but dress the way you want as you like it, as sexy as you can, as attractive as you can, as anything as you can, dress the way you want, I want you to wear all this knee-length dress and skimpy dress for me only, only my eyes to see, no problem about the club if you don't want me to go with me then no problem and I can't force you to drink anything you don't want," He said and I am so surprised because he is accepting all that I am saying.

"What about your parent, hope ………." He cut me off before I finish

"They can't choose for me, so forget about that, I want to ask you something, did you have any boyfriend?" He asked

"I have ex-boyfriend since I was in school, no one for now" I answer him and I also ask him about his girlfriend he said he does not have any girlfriend for now.

"What about your work, I mean did you have any other business apart from this?"

"I have one here and in Italy and some part of the country and still going" But his face changed somehow when I ask about his work.

We chat a little more and he went to drop me home and he meets Lin and they chat for some time before he said his goodbye and I trust my dear friendmy lecturer she will want to know what happens and I explain everything to her. She said that she knows that he will be different from the other guys, then I reply to her that "I hope so"
