His Promise: The Mafia’s Babies

From the moment we had entered the theater room, Isobel didn’t hesitate to keep up with Christian so sto him on the long lounge while Luna took matters into her own hands and pushed me to the other side“You’re sitting next to me, Serena?” Christian gave me a warm smile and pushed Isobel who was glaring the side so I could join them, while I had a startled look on my face.

“Thank me later,” Luna whispered, thinking she had done something to help me. Perhaps it wasn’t that sthe part where I had basically confessed my feelings to him.

“Thanks for asking, I’ve decided that we are going to watch…Grease!” He teased everyone but quickly rewhen he heard all the sighs and complaints. I, on the other hand, did not have any issue with the movie, again that I did not fit in with them. “I’m just joking guys!” Luca laughed at his own words. “Any suggest“How about the godfather? It fits the theme and seems kind of similar to the youngest son and all, don’tChristian?” Luca suggested while the whole room went quiet. “That’s what happened with uncle Lucio anwith Christian and his brothers.” He casually explained to Olivia who I knew was regretting her decision.

I turned around to look at Christian who seemed unfazed, but behind all of that, I could read a hurt expr“For what the stiff faces? I am joking.” Luca started laughing, while everyone except for Christian and I fotopic had obviously embarrassed him and I figured why he did not seem to like Luca. The backhanded codefinitely to get on his nerves and perhaps even out of jealousy.

“Let’s not talk about that kind of stuff…for once. Now is not the time.” Christian smiled, not trying to ruin“Okay.” Luca smiled back, knowing exactly what he had done. While Luca had eventually picked out a hoChristian tried his best to cheer himself up but officially felt down.
