Your Mafia Trap novel Chapter 14

"He totally had that slap coming," Melody mumbled as she stuffed her face with ice cream.

I nodded in agreement, "He's not even good looking!"

"Gabriel was..."

"Mel..."

Tears started to roll down her cheeks as she slowly scooped more ice cream. "He's probably drunk right now!"

"He can't have alcohol."

"Really?"

I nodded, "He has a weak heart."

"And a stick up his ass, apparently."

"That too."

She sighed, "I just don't get it. He was good to me, but then my brother came into the picture and he just...changed."

I frowned, "Xavien?"

"Yeah, I told Gabriel I think my brother likes you and that I could totally see you being a thing. That pissed him off, I guess."

"You know, we had a shaky marriage to begin with."

She furrowed her eyebrows, "Really?"

"Yeah, he didn't trust me. In his defense, he was cheated on twice before he met me. But I never gave him a reason to not trust me completely. He would always have to know where I was, who I was with, and so on. It created many, many arguments between us. But I just put up with it, he had been let down on many occasions. By his family, friends, and a few ex's."

She frowned, "He did that with me too."

"Yeah, it's not fun. Though, he is big on cuddling. I couldn't leave the bed, I was always afraid he would wake up. He looked adorable every time," I laughed.

"The worst is when you have to pee and he's lying on top of you."

We both laughed, "He's something else."

I sighed before smiling, "Give him some time, he'll eventually come around."

She frowned, "But what if he wants you?"

"Well, that's unfortunate for him, I don't want him. I think...I'm falling out of love."

"And maybe falling in love with my brother?" She asked, hopeful.

I rolled my eyes, "No."

"Damn it."

"So, the guys who work here are awfully flirty. My brother is flirty too, but only with certain people. And by people, I mean you. So, if my brother does like you, those guys will probably go through hell for flirting," Melody said as she pulled into the parking lot.

I chuckled, "Well, you did want me to tease him, didn't you?"

She smirked, "Oh, you dirty little demon."

"That would be me."

We were laughing when we got out of her car, talking about my dirty mind. When we walked into his shop, I froze, she wasn't lying. I'm starting to think he hired male models to work here.

"Chic fil a!"

"Oh, shut it!" Melody ordered. "Thank you."

Xavien chuckled, "I think you need some assistance for this tour."

"No, I can manage. You wouldn't want to spend your time showing Scarlett around, would you? Unless..."

Xavien's cheeks had a pink tint to them, "W-well, I'm the owner..."

"I'm messing with you, come on."

Xavien flipped her off, earning a laugh from me. It took him a bit to stand, but once he was on his feet, he grinned.

"Yo, boss, who's this sexy thing?" A guy suddenly asked.

Xavien narrowed his eyes before wrapping an arm around my waist. "Scarlett and she's off limits."

I raised an eyebrow, "But I'm single."

"Mine," Xavian grumbled when the guy winked at me.

I could feel my cheeks heat up when he said that, I don't remember becoming his girlfriend. The guy shrugged and walked away, yelling out a few orders.

"Your'?" I questioned.

He blushed, "Trust me, you don't want to date any of them. When I say they're horny bastards, believe me. They'll shove it in anything."

I only laughed as he brought me to where Melody was patiently waiting.
