Untamed (A mafia story)

Chapter 52

Dimitri

No one, no one has ever called me Maxim since Vera died.
Except for her, and this would be the second time she would

It warmed my heart though
It made me feel some type of way
And I hated that she was crying too, it was kind of funny because I know they were only tears of her hormones.

That's why she's been getting emotional these days, and also playful
I didn't intend to teach her ice skating but when we got to the rink, I changed my mind.

Spending time with Cora is something I enjoy doing, too much.
Maybe that's why I try not to but she doesn't get it

That's why I'm always on my phone, it's not like I'm doing anything important on my phone most of the times that she's here, I'm just doing that to avoid spending time with her

Sooner or later, we'd have to part ways, and if I get used to being around her, it's going to be fucking hard.
It's Cora, there's something about her
She's hard not to like.

We were both just sitting on the couch, I pretended to be on my phone most of the time but I've been watching her, she's bored and I can tell it

She has been sighing out loud for the past five minutes and it's really taking everything in me not to ask her what's wrong.

Don't do it, Dimitri
Do not ask

Damn it "what is it принцесса"? I mutter out

She just looks up at me "huh"?

I breathe out sitting up and facing her "you're nervous and you nervous is making me fucking nervous, what is it"? I ask and she just shakes her head at me

"Cora" I call her warningly

"I'm not nervous, I'm bored" she whispers looking at her fingers "I need to do something before I lose my mind" she mutters looking around as if looking for some answers, and suddenly she springs up, her face holding a smile I know will lead to nothing good

"Oh I know, let's go for a swim, you're gonna teach me" she says smiling at me and I just groan

I never should have ask
"Jesus Christ Cora, where do you come up with ridiculous thoughts like this? I knew I shouldn't have asked" I mutter the last part to myself rubbing my temple

She scrunches her nose up before looking at me
"It's not ridiculous" she mutters
"Please don't say no, I'm really bored" she pleads giving me a dog puppy eyes and those pouting lips.

I close my eyes "I'm so going to regret this" I whisper out before getting up "let's go" I hear her squeal out loud and I smile, seeing her happy warms my heart

Our steps are cut short by my phone ringing, I look at the ID and it's the guy I asked to tap into Enzo's phone, I pick up holding up a finger for Cora to give me a minute

"Hello" I mutter into the phone and I hear shuffling

"Boss, sorry to disturb you but I have new information on Enzo" he says making me more interested

After a while of talking to him on the phone I walk back to where Cora was and I see her looking at me with expectations

"Please don't tell me we have to cancel because you have business to take care of" she groans out

"It's Enzo" with that one word her whole face changes, she knows it's something serious
"The guy I put on his phone, got the information that he'll be meeting someone else today but we don't know who that is but he thinks it has something to do with Ivan or me" I tell her
