After all, I did make quite a great mess of his room. And that too, puked. I didn't even want to think about it. Lucca had been furious but still forgave me immediately. He was just like that. He always understood me. I waited for him as he was busy in one of his most important meetings, according to him.
He walked out, about half an hour later. He looked exhausted as he got into the car and buckled the seatbelt.
"Everything's alright?", he just nodded lightly. I got a glimpse of the momentary frown that appeared on his face.
"You know you can tell me."
"I'm too drained to explain but briefly speaking, there's a problem that is, in my opinion, surely caused by Italians."
I nodded.
"Who?"
"Cesare de Luca or Ugo, might be Luigi, but I doubt. I'm more suspension about Dominic."
I thought for a while as I drove through the main road to our mansion. It was mostly deserted. The only sound audible was of my car's engine in the vast silence of road.
"You need any help?"
"I might do... in the future. Right now, I'm sure I can handle it.", he sighed heavily. I gave him a light nod. None of us said a word, until I interrupted the silence.
"Hey, you know... I'm sorry. Because of my land-"
"Seriously? It's not your fault, Ryan. They offered me too."
I frowned "what?"
"They needed a safe route and both of us know why?", I nodded in acknowledgment.
"They're making their intentions a bit too obvious now. Can't they just give up now? I would never willingly allow them to start their illegal business here, let alone, using my land."
"Maybe Ugo is just desperate to get in your pants.", he laughed.
"Seriously man! That was a serious talk.", I said annoyed.
"Ok! Apologies. My bad." And the silence engulfed the space again. We reached the mansion just a bit later. I gave the keys to guards before following Lucca in. "So... any plan?", he asked slowly.
"Dominic... I heard he's having some woman with him.", I said removing my coat. Lucca frowned. "There are rumors he bought her from some trafficker.", I looked at his confused face as he loosened his tie. "The woman who accompanied him to the banquet, we were invited at."
"I know who you're referring to. Can you f*****g tell me just what the hell is going on in your head.", he said annoyed.
"Uh- maybe we should kidnap her. I heard she's pregnant.", I turned to see a shocked Lucca with his mouth hung open. I looked away. Immediately he punched me in arm. But It wasn't too hard.
"Is it really you saying that Ryan?"
"But we won't hurt her in any way.", I defended myself. He hissed."Still"
I sighed heavily. "Maybe you're right. I just... I've lost my mind. Don't mind me please. It's just that... everything's going wrong."
"Maybe it's you.", he said slowly, approaching me.
"Me?"
"Yeah, maybe the problem is just you, yourself."
"And how's that?"
"You're not emotionally stable. I feel like you're a bit disturbed about something, throughout the past month. That's all I've concluded. You've been behaving really strange lately and you get fueled pretty easily.", I looked at him. He really understood me so well... but at times like this... I really wish he didn't. I turned away in an attempt to escape to my room upstairs. But he was fast enough to catch me as he swung me around causing me to land on floor. He was behind me holding my both hands at my back and my legs wrapped in his. I thrashed but my attempts were weak. Maybe because of all the distractions lately. I leaned back against his chest giving up.
"Now, tell me."
I sighed. I was having a hard time fighting the inner turmoil.
"Tell me already, you fucker.", he snapped out and I hissed.
"I- I think Irish mafia is the dangerous people Rowan was warning me about."
He hissed. "That's not the real reason behind your disturbance."
"I- I think I like Aine.", he let go of me.
"Aine?"
"Yeah and... I think I like her romantically... you know... as a man and woman."
"So?", he gulped as he stood up.
"So?", I looked down.
"What're you planning to do now?", he asked annoyed.
"I don't know.", I held my head in my hands.
"You should... maybe... take a break to think all about it... and to consider her opinion too. It's just a bit... too shocking. Aine. It's messed up."
"I'm just so confused man."
"Just try to relax for a while.", I nodded to him even though I felt my insides crumbling. I didn't even know what should I do to relax.
I am a mess.
Shit.
