THE MAFIA'S WILDEST OBSESSION THIRTEEN
THIRTEENCATHERINAWe weren’t expecting my abuela but there she stood at the door with a little packed suitcase and that grin that frightened me as a child. She was a tall woman for her age and that probably was the reason my papa was tall because I was sure he did not get the height from my midget of a grandfather who died before I was born.“Well, child… are you just going to stand there and gawk at me without letting me in?” she said, her mouth thinning.“Sorry abuela, we were not expecting you.” I answered, opening the door wider for her to come in“Do I need to phone ahead before visiting my son and grandchildren?” she sauntered in, stopping to take a deep breath.“Ofcourse not, abuela. I shall ask mamma to set out one more plate for lunch since you will be joining us.” I said, dragging the suitcase behind me; it was heavier than it looked and I wondered what she had packed in it.“I came over to see the man that will be marrying my granddaughter… where is he?”“He is with papa i
THE MAFIA'S WILDEST OBSESSION FOURTEEN
FOURTEENCATHERINAMy abuela insisted on us dining on the patio; according to her she needed the fresh air and also because she was scared that my mamma wasn’t getting enough sunlight on her skin because she looked white as hell.That was a lie of course but my mamma ignored her and began setting the food out on the patio with my abuela monitoring her every movement and dropping comments on how unattractive the food was looking. She always did that but then went ahead to finish and also ask for more food.I was trying to not look in the direction of Andres Cruz who sat on one of the sofas, drilling me with his eyes. I wished he would stop doing that… looking at me like I was some meal he could not wait to consume and I was sure my folks would notice his obvious interest in me which I did not want.“I shall call Audrey downstairs” I told my mamma, getting up to flee his gaze.“Do that; that girl will be the death of me with her attitude to everything.” My mamma complained.“She only wa
THE MAFIA'S WILDEST OBSESSION FIFTEEN
FIFTEENCATHERINAI kept pondering on Andres’ words to me and the fact that he was correct; I was a slut who was pining after her own sister’s husband to be and instead of feeling shame, I was fully aroused by his actions during lunch. I could still see it as clear as day, that erotic grab of his middle and the thought of how I had wished it was my hand making that grab came unbidden to my head.After the food, I had excused myself and fled the presence of the overpowering man before I did something as stupid as touching him. My whole body tingled with self- awareness as I sat close to him and when he slid his shirt up to reveal inked arm, my breath hitched in my throat. It was a snake tattoo; the one I had so desperately been trying to look at the other day and I wondered just how long the snake was. It looked as fierce as its bearer, dangerous and oddly compelling.My Abuela had a lot of questions to ask him and he answered her politely while I stared at the movement of his lips won
THE MAFIA'S WILDEST OBSESSION SIXTEEN
SIXTEENCATHERINA“What did he say to you?” my brother asked grimly.We were both seated on the couch with him backing the stairs and my eyes on it; I had no way to alert Audrey of the danger and the only think I could think of doing was to signal her, in case she decided to come out with the boy.How stupid could she be having sex with him in our house but then again; Audrey had always been so stubborn and I wasn’t any better if I might say.“You haven’t answered” My brother commented, watching my face“He told me nothing except the fact that if he had not banned you, you would be dead right now.”“I can take care of myself and the bastardo had no business telling you such things when he put you in danger.”“You put me in danger, Anthonio… you allowed that man hold a gun to my head because you could not control your drinking and gambling. I would be dead if he had not shot his own uncle; now what does that say of you.”I was livid with anger and not because I had just found out that
THE MAFIA'S WILDEST OBSESSION SEVENTEEN
SEVENTEENCATHERINA“Aren’t you supposed to be in a meeting or something?” I said, glaring at the man who stood over me; not helping me up from the shrub I had gotten myself tangled in.He smiled; putting out a hand for me to grab on. I eyed his arm like it was a snake but put my small one in it and he pulled me up too dangerously close to his own body.I pulled away immediately before my sister who was hiding behind the shrub had any time to think about why I was so close to him.We stared at each other for a while and I noticed he was wearing pants and a black short sleeved shirt that allowed me see the snake tattoo on his arm a little bit better and also notice how smooth and tanned the other arm was with its taut muscle; I was breathing a little bit faster but I did not care and we just stood there in front of each other with warmth rushing to the pit of my stomach while he watched my face with an eyebrow raised.“What were you doing in the shrub and why do you want to stay there?
THE MAFIA'S WILDEST OBSESSION EIGHTEEN
EIGHTEENCATHERINAWe had to welcome some people from Andres’ Clan and my mamma was over the roof with worry, she wanted everything to be perfect but refused my help and Rosa’s whom we had hired for some decorations.“Leave the kitchens, go help out with the decorations… I can handle all these alone.” My mamma was heard saying.I walked out before she yelled more, I personally was thinking she just wanted take all the glory of having to prepare everything. She was a wonderful chef; my mamma and she wasn’t hesitant in flaunting her prowess.“Do you need help?” I asked Rosa who shook her head in the negative which only left me with one option which was reading a book and waiting till we had to welcome the guests.Today was my sister’s engagement party and I wondered fleetingly how she was feeling with all the activities going on and my papa yelling at everyone who had the ears to stand and listen. She had not come out of her room since my papa announced the engagement party yesterday; a
THE MAFIA'S WILDEST OBSESSION NINETEEN
NINETEENCATHERINAI held my sister as we walked down the stairs to join the guests, it was a full place already and my eyes unconsciously roamed around for Andres amidst the faces of unknown men, laughing loudly. My mamma was waiting at the foot of the stairs with a disapproving look on her face; I pointedly ignored her and clung to my sister who was holding my hand a little too tight, she seemed terrified.“nina hijas, you take too long to dress up. The guests have been waiting, come with me, Audrey” She said, prying my sister from my hands and disappearing through the corner with her.I stood at the foot of the stairs, not sure of where I should be at the moment with so many unknown people in our home.“You must be Manuel’s dulce nina” A voice said behind me.I whipped around and was met with most beautiful man I had ever seen and then he smiled at the stunned expression on my face. His smile seemed to light up his face, crinkling the corner of his eyes.“My name is Catherina” I sa
THE MAFIA'S WILDEST OBSESSION TWENTY
TWENTYCATHERINA“I don’t understand what you mean by punishing them” I told him, my breath shaky.“They laid hands on you… they had no right” He muttered, his eyes dark with violence“I said I am fine” I muttered.He continued staring at me and then slowly brought up a hand to brush the tendrils of hair that had fallen across my face.“Stop… we are in public” I said softly, turning my cheek into his rough palm“Will it be different if we were in private, dulce nina” he mutteredMy eyes met his mirroring what we felt about each other at the moment. I was both confused and utterly aroused as his hand caressed my cheek and he looked confused too, like this wasn’t supposed to be happening.We stayed like that for a brief second but what seemed like a lifetime before he let go of my cheek and then stepped back, sucking the charged air with him.“See you later, Catherina” he snapped and walked away.I continued staring long after he was gone, my core throbbing and legs shaky. I could still
