Raphael POV
I wake up not knowing what time it is. Fuck I don’t even know what day it is. My head is still banging and Olivia is not in bed with me.
I grab my phone from the bedside table and I look at the time. It’s 5 Pm. It’s been ages since I slept like this. Probably the last time I was a teenager full of hormones going around.
I pass my hands through my face and I sit on the bed putting my feet on the floor.
Still a little tipsy I walk to the bathroom and when I look at myself in the mirror I take one step back.
“Shit, you look like you’ve seen a ghost” - I tell myself.
I walk to the shower and turn it on.
I walk in and the water relaxes my body and that’s when the memories from last night come rushing back.
Olivia gave me a cold shower and put me to bed. The blonde.
Shit.
I wash my hair while I try to remember what happened with the blonde. What was her name again? Helena? Honey? I know it started with an H. Or I think it did.
The memories and her sucking Tim come rushing by and I sit on the floor holding my head trying to remember what I did last night.
Shit. Did I cheat on Olivia? Fuck.
“You are an idiot” - I say it out loud to myself.
I stand up after a few minutes and finish my shower when my stomach starts to complain that needs food.
I walk out and wrap a towel around my waist and walk to my dressing room.
I grab some black boxer shorts and a black T-shirt and dark grey sweat pants.
Once dressed I walk back to the bathroom and brush my teeth. My mouth feels so dry that it is a struggle.
I brush my hair back. Shit, I need to have it cut. I am looking like a fucking emo boy.
I walk out of the bedroom and into the kitchen to find it empty.
Shit, I forgot that Mike is with Maria in her flat. I make some coffee and order some greasy pizza. I need some comfort food.
Walking back to the living room and taking a seat on the sofa I grab my phone and I call Olivia.
“Good afternoon sleepyhead” - she says
“Hi. Where are you?”
“Out”
“Yeah, where?”
“I’m with my brothers and Anna” - she says and I instantly feel bad because I am taking her away from them.
“Are you going to belong?”
“Do you mind if I stay for dinner?” - she asks and I take a deep breath.
“It’s fine” - I tell her.
“I am all packed” - she says and that takes me by surprise.
“Oh, okay.”
We stay both in silence for a little bit, things are still awkward between us since our argument yesterday.
“Raphael?”
“Yes?”
“I am sorry” - she says and I smile.
“I am sorry too, I shouldn’t have left and I shouldn’t have assumed you would just pack and go”
“Hey, I know why you are doing this” - she says
“You know I love you right?”
“I do” - she says and I take a deep breath
“I’ll see you later” - she says
“See you later love”
I turn the calm off and the tv on. Nothing is catching my attention but I just leave the tv on.
“Boss” - I hear from the entrance and I stand up walking towards the voice
“Your pizza is here boss” - my guard says
“Thanks” - I say taking the pizza box and walking to the kitchen.
I put the pizza down and when I open the box there’s a note attached to the box.
What the fuck.
I grab the note and there it is again
“Une vie to pour une vie” - and a photo of Maria with Mike. They are in the park and I can see my men around them but they still took a photo of them.
Fuck.
I grab my phone.
Not long after Maria walks in with Mike and I take him from her and I kiss his head.
“What is happening?” - she asks
“We’re going to Italy today”
“You can’t take him like this”
“Yes I can”
“But” - I cut her off.
“You are more than welcome to join us Maria, but never assume I will leave him with you when I need him to be safe”
“I’ll go pack” - she says and I nod my head walking to Mike’s room and getting his diaper changed.
I start packing some stuff for him but I don’t worry too much as I’ll buy everything I need there.
“Raphael?” - I hear Olivia and my heart starts beating fast.
“Here” - I say and Olivia walks in and hugs me.
“Why are we leaving so soon?”
“You know the notes. I got another one with Mike’s photo”
“Shit” - she says
“Yeah”
“Okay, so is Joseph looking after everything?” - she asks and I nod.
“Who is looking into the french?” - Olivia asks
“Robert and Joseph, why?” - she asks
“John’s boyfriend is a hacker and he might be able to help” - she says and I think about it.
“We will talk about that later” - I tell her placing a kiss on her lips. Fuck this woman is so sexy.
I know now for sure that I haven’t cheated on her. I would never be able to. She is just too perfect for me to be doing that.
Merry Christmas
Extra chapter for you all as a present.
Stay safe
Love
Peyton
