Heart of the Mafia King

The Bath

{Angelo’s POV}

After we ate dinner, I put the dishes in the dishwasher, starting it up. Maisie decided to wait downstairs for her clothes to get done, which gave me enough time to go upstairs, and fix up the bathroom for her. I quickly pulled out my cell, video calling Margo. I went into Maisie’s bathroom and closed the door as Margo answered. “Hey Angel, what’s going on?” She asked.

“Look, I’m in the bathroom that you usually use when you come here, I let Maisie take this one, it has the second biggest bath, and the only other rainfall shower head besides mine. I wanted to ask you, which one of these bath bombs do you like, and what other things do you like when you take your bath?” I asked, looking through all of her bath items.

“You’ve got it bad Angel..” she giggled. “I like the lavender bath bomb, along with my lavender shampoo and body soap, it’s good for helping me get a peaceful nights rest. I also have some vanilla body scrubs, fresh razors, I have all of my skin cleansers, and masks. There is a bath caddy that you can put some stuff on for her, along with some candles so you can dim the lights for her to be able to relax more.” She smiled.

“Okay, okay, I think I got it.. I got her some ice cream too.. should I put that on the bath caddy?” I asked, beginning to get everything together, and running the bath.

“Yes, and maybe a book, or one of our tablets so she can pick a book to read.” She said. “Also don’t forget to turn on the heated jet settings, that way it’ll keep the water warm!”

“Okay, I think I got it all!” I said, organizing all of the things she told me on the counter. “Thanks bambina, love you guys!” I said.

“Love you too!” She said, hanging up the phone. Once the bath was filled to where it needed to be, I threw in the bath bomb, and some bubble bath, and turned on the heated jets. I lit up the candles, and organized them around the bath, and placed the bath caddy into the tub. I put the soaps and scrub on the side of the tub, and put a hand towel on the caddy, along with grabbing Margo’s table and setting it down on top. I quickly ran downstairs getting the ice cream, and scooping some into a thermal bowl, placing a thermal lid on top to keep it from thawing. I also grabbed a bottle of water, and a glass of wine, making my way back upstairs and setting it all up. I heard the dryer finish up, and made my way back downstairs. I saw Maisie getting up to go to the laundry room to grab her stuff and went with her, grabbing a basket to put it all in. I carried it up to her room, with her following behind me.

“This is your room, and right across from here is your bathroom. I can put away your clothes if you want to go on and take a bath.” I said, setting the basket down on the bed.

“I don’t want to impose on you, you’ve done so much for me already!” She said, rubbing her hands nervously.

“Hey, you go on and relax, I got this, I know how to put away clothes. You should see how organized my closet and my drawers are.” I smiled down at her.

“O-Okay..” she said, turning and walking towards the bathroom, she opened the door, and a soft gasp brought my attention to her.

{Maisie’s POV}

I opened the bathroom door, but I wasn’t expecting to see this. He had lit candles, dimmed the lights, brought the wine I liked, a bowl of ice cream, ran my bath, and sat out everything I’d need, soaps, scrubs, razors.. I was stunned, no one had ever done anything like this for me before. I froze in the doorway, looking in, I felt tears begin to prick in my eyes, and soon drip down my face. “Y-You did this for me?” I asked, my hand still on the doorknob.

“Of course, you needed to relax.. I just thought that this would help.” His voice was soft, and when I looked back, he wasn’t waiting for admiration, or my affection, he was diligently folding my clothes, and organizing them into piles on my bed.

“N-No one’s ever been this nice to me.. besides Heather of course..” I said softly, turning back towards the bathroom. “T-Thank you Angelo..”

“You don’t have to thank me. I left Margo’s tablet in there, there’s some books on it that she likes. I also turned on the heated jets, that way you can stay in as long as you like.” He said, and I could hear the drawers and closets opening and closing.

I walked into the bedroom, making my way to his side. “I know I don’t have to thank you.. you’ve made it clear that you don’t need or want admiration.. but, I want to thank you, you’ve been so amazing to me.” I wrapped my arms around him, hugging him softly. “So, thank you Angelo.”

“No problem Maisie.” He said, hugging me back. When he released me, I turned making my way into the bathroom and closing the door. I stripped out of my scrubs, and hopped into the bath, sinking down into the bubbles.

Once I finished putting away Maisie’s things, I took the laundry basket back downstairs and decided to go hop in the shower. My shower was large, with a rainfall shower head, and a seat across the back wall. Black and grey tiles covered the wall, and the seat, but the rest of the doors were glass. I stripped out of my clothes, hopping in, and washing off. I needed this, the warm water soothed my aching back, and thinking about Maisie, how happy she was, it made me feel good. I normally didn’t just do things like this, especially not for family, for her.. I think I would do just about anything.
