Layla

Waving them bye knowing later on Aurora will kick my ass for pushing her in the boat but hell you live once damn it make the most of it "Ouch" saying while rubbing my head looking up I see no other then Arturo with worry in his eyes that he actually hurt me I mean really I just pumped into his very sexy chest didn't hurt that damn much but I think I'll play it off an see how far I can get huffing while stomping off leaving him stand there "Layla" Arturo says while running behind me smirking, seeing Joy shaking her head at me in disbelief to what I'm doing she acts like this is new this isn't new I've done this to him before when we were kids thinking back I kinda did the same thing then I'm doing now to him giggling some before turning around an face him shaking my head feeling him placing his hand on my arm okay maybe I should end my little fun before he takes it to seriously and want to end up taking me to the hospital sighing lightly "I'm fine" saying while placing my hand on his cheek.

Seeing the worry warsh away from his face as he smiles at me smiling back everyone thought Arturo was weird when we were kids because he never liked talking to people much he would only speak to Vincenzo and Guido but that change thanks to me it was cute yet sad how we met, I was crying because I missed my parents but Arturo walked up to me he didn't say a word he wrap his arms around me and rocked me back an forth slowly until I stopped crying but after that I seen him a lot more due to the fact he was always Vincenzo an well I was always with Aurora so he became my crush an yet he still is "Layla?" Arturo spats while shaking me out of my thoughts shaking my head grabbing his hand leading him into the house.

"Layla my Angel what was that back there you spaced out on me? Are you feeling well?"Arturo asks while feeling my head.

"Yes I'm fine I was just thinking about.. Never mind what are you doing here anyways?"Spatting while looking down at my hands.

"Layla..Angel I came to see you my beauty plus I thought we could watch a scary movie anyone you like"Arturo says while lifting my head up so I'm looking at him.

"Okay I pick the movie an no you may not give me suggestions, I know how you are well I did.."Mumbling while letting out a soft sigh.

"Layla I'm still the Arturo who held you when you were crying,made milk shakes with, who put that beautiful flower in your hair, the one you kissed an called your husband. I'm still Your Arturo only thing that's changed is that I'm in the mafia that's all" Arturo says while cupping my cheeks with palms.

"Forgetting your tattoos? Piercings? And you think I haven't changed?" Asking while smirking.

"I know you have.. You've grown more beautiful my Angel and if anything I like a bad girl who looks like an Angel" Arturo whispers in my ear causing me to bite my lip.

"Yeah? Thats good to know then huh? Maybe you should know I've already shot my gun towards someone" Spatting as I watch he's eyes turn dark.

"Who Layla? Why ? Don't lie to me" Arturo spats while I laugh.

"Damn that was to easy.. Don't be an idiot I haven't shot my gun towards anyone but I have pulled it to protect my grandma you remember her, my ex boyfriend's brother broke into her house an I was there so I pulled my gun out"Saying like it was no big deal while Arturo growls some.

"Layla what's his name I'll take care of him I swear"Arturo spats while I shake my head.

"Take care of who?" Guido asks while holding Joy's hand.

"Some il bastardo who broke into Layla's grandma's house that's who" Arturo hisses as I rubs his arm.

"Tyler? Oh he's a bitch don't worry about him Layla nearly scared him to death when she pulled her gun out on him and his friend"Joy say in between laughs.

"Joy still Arturo won't let that go, trust me he's like a predator to his pray he never lose sight of it"Guido stats causing me to look at Arturo who's eyes are closed.

"Okay enough of this.. You said scary movie right well let's go watch one before Aurora and Vincenzo come back okay"Stating while Arturo nods his head.

"Yes come my Angel let's go"Arturo says while grabbing my hand.

"They're already back their on the porch sleeping on the sunbed" Both Joy an Guido stat while Me and Arturo look confused.

"Well shh then let them sleep Aurora had another nightmare, but Vincenzo is here so he can take care of her now she said he calmed her down before after she had another about they guy that attacked her you two remember that"Spatting while looking outside to see Aurora in Vincenzo's arms sleeping peacefully.

"Yeah believe us we don't forget, that guy is getting out of jail to"Arturo mumbles as I shake my head.

"We already know"Hissing some while Joy glares at both Arturo and Guido.

"He won't get near her"Guido stats as Arturo nods his head.

"If he does Vincenzo would kill him I don't need to be in the mafia to know that"Stating while Joy laughs.

"Your right"Arturo spats while he's lip curls into a grin.

Shaking my head walking towards the stairs while Arturo is right behind me as I start up the stairs he picks me up an carries me to my room looking at him in disbelief what does he think I'm broken but then again it's a free ride why not I'm going to enjoy every minute of it but as we get to the door he puts me down but like a gentleman he opens the door for me "Thank you" flirtatiously saying winking at him while walking into the room, but he pulls me back into him looking up he's eyes have darkened but not in a threatening way no more like hunger bitting my lip slowly I move away some an regain my composure I have to relax breath even though it's kinda hard when he's around because every feeling I've ever felt for him just comes rushing back like a tidal wave crashing down on me hard but yet I don't mind even though he's part of the mafia an it scares me to death knowing he's putting himself in dangerous situations.

Sighing grabbing the remote as turn on the tv at the corner of my eye I see him taken off his shirt "Damn" mumbling under my breath looking back at the screen I pull up the on demand an look at the movies one comes to mind 'Insidious' pulling it up as turn around an see him waiting for me in the bed with a grin rolling my eyes as I get into the bed next to him as he pulls me close to him "Hit play" he whispers in my ear sending a shiver down my spine in a good way while I turn on the movie for us.

During the movie he decides he's going to grab my phone and snap a picture shaking my head I turn my attention back to the TV and once I do the one part that always makes me jump scares the hell out of me that I scream causing him to laugh glaring at him I playful slap his chest two times "I'm sorry" he says while kissing my neck pulling away some I turn to face him but as I do he clashs our lips together, everything in me doesn't want to put up a fight honestly I don't want to he was my first crush even when he left to go back to Italy he was all I thought about yeah I had an ex boyfriend who was ass hole who would beat me at times but I would fight back I didn't roll over and submit like some kitten hell no thats not me.

Feeling his hands grip my waist as a soft moan escapes in between our kiss he pulls away and looks at me "Layla" he says with that Italian accent that can make any woman go crazy for "Arturo" whispering back as my hands explore his chest slowly while he begins to attack my neck with soft kisses that just makes me melt I've always wondered how he's kisses felt but now I'm feeling the real deal gotta say they feel magical, like I'm under his spell or he's just that damn good as our moment start to get heated someone has to knock on the door "What!" he yells causing me to shake my head hearing Joy and Guido on the other side laughing "Beach!" Joy and Guido both yell from the door looking up at him smiling which I see his whole mood change instantly he kisses me once more befor getting off the bed with one jump eyes widen when he said training he wasn't lying but if he thinks he's the only one who's done training he better think again he has no is a what Aurora's uncle Knoxs has taught us.

Grinning getting up off the bed I head for the bathroom to grab two towels for us with even asking he grabs my bag for me gasping a little knowing my gun is in there I play it off an kiss him on the cheek "Phew" thought to myself as open the door to see Joy and Guido waiting for us with smirks plastered on their faces rolling my eyes, shoving Joy while she laughs running down the stairs away from me but her laughter stops with a warning I slam into her back "Carful girls" hearing looking past Joy seeing Mr.Willson standing there along with Aurora and Vincenzo as heavy foot steps come from behind us everyone seems a little tensed up but honestly I just want to go to the beach and possibly have a drink and maybe splash water on Arturo to tell the truth call me the quiet yet sneaky one out of us girls.

Aurora hands me a wine cooler she must have read my mind no she just knows me too damn well giggle I open it but someone mainly Arturo clears his throat turning around seeing him looking at like 'really' shrugging my shoulders putting the bottle to my lips feeling the cool refreshing liquor go down my throat give me a little jolt of energy in away but my bottle was taken from me "HEY!" hissing my eyes grow wide when seeing Arturo drinking the rest of my wine cooler my mouth drops open but I quickly close it and stomp away from him causing him to laugh feeling my anger growing I turn around a glare at him while hearing Aurora and Joy "Oh shit" yeah they know if I glare I'm pissed and sometimes I can't be controlled right away, my grandma says I get that from my dad he would do that then he would black out but I've never blacked out yet so I could be like my dad even though in ways I'm like him but my kindness comes from my mom she was the person who people looked up to you can say my parents were night and day and me well I don't know yet what I am really closing my eyes breathing in an out slowly begin to calm down some looking at him I just shake my head and grab the towel and lay it on the beach and relax.

Trying to stop my mind from racing from worry for Aurora what Mr.Willson said it could effect of everybody's life but mostly that Aurora's father is two-faced I wonder what it all really means I never really trust that man I always got a weird vibe from him and my grandma told me to always get my guard up around that man which I always have "Layla" hearing Arturo say while sitting next to me, "Arturo" try to mock him in an Italian accent but I fail which causes him to laugh gotta admit his laugh is adorable I could listen to it all day to tell the truth watching him lay down a towel next to me raising my eyebrow shaking my head "Goofball" mumble under my breath as he sits down and leans back while cracking a can of something.

I've never seen before maybe it's an energy drink but an devilish sneaky idea hits me pulling out my phone and I snap a picture of him when he's drinking he turns his head towards me as I wave my phone in front of him "Bad girl" he spats laughing oh he has no idea how bad I can be but he'll learn maybe, giggle placing my phone down next to me and relax for a moment just hearing the waves splash not far away from us its peaceful plus with him next to me it just makes it even more better to tell the truth I feel at peace like my other half was giving back to me which I'm thankful for as we sit there next to each other until Vincenzo starts yelling about a rats making look around not seeing any of them filthy things.

Looking over to Arturo who's breathing had escalated a lot to the point I'm hearing him growling some then it hits me rats mean something else in mafia but why is Arturo acting like that when he heard Vincenzo say 'rat', I'll have to figure it out one way or another as I was going to ask he gets up so fast that sand flys turning my head making sure none of it gets in my eyes "ARTURO" yelling while standing up be her already made his way towards Vincenzo and Guido glancing over seeing Aurora an Joy just as mad while Mr.Willson just shakes his head while looking at all three of our guys.

"We have to go... Something came up" Vincenzo says while Aurora rolls her eyes.

"Layla I'll text you before I come back I promies okay my Angel we have to handle this"Arturo says before kissing my head.

"Yeah okay.. Just be safe okay "Spatting while sighing some.

"I promies my Angel I'm always safe" Arturo spats while he's lip curls into a grin.

"Go handle whatever we have things we have to take care of right Mr.Willson?" Aurora hiss causing Vincenzo to throw his hand up in the air.

"Aurora..."Vincenzo starts to say but Aurora waves him off causing me and Joy to laugh.

"We'll see you later and you missy that ass is mine"Vincenzo spats while Arturo and Guido chuckle.

We watched them jump into a SUV that pulled up fast within seconds the wheels on the SUV spun off leaving smoke linger in the air shaking my head grabbinh a wine cooler before I take a seat next to Aurora who's looking a little worried and stressed out placing my hand on her shoulder she looks at me an I make a funny face causing her to laugh as Joy and Mr.Willson join us they see my face and start to laugh while shaking their heads, smiling opening up my wine cooler an take a drink before we start driving into questions that I know will make all of our minds race but Aurora needs this she hasn't felt right about things to tell the truth neither has me and Joy but now we the change to learn the truth an to protect Aurora if necessary.

"Okay girls ask away I can tell you all are dying to know things"Mr.Willson says while leaning back in his chair.

"What did you mean her father was two faced"Asking while Joy looks at me shocked.

"Let's just say he's not who he plays to be and believe me he's a wolf in sheep's clothing"Mr.Willson says while looking towards Aurora.

"Did you know my mother" Aurora asks as I see tears start to form in her eyes.

"Aurora I'm sorry sweet heart... Your mom was killed when you were a baby she died protecting you from... A man" Mr.Willson says as I look over and see tears coming out of Aurora's eyes.

"So..can you tell us why Aurora's uncle Knoxs hates her dad? Why he doesn't trust him?"Joy asks while holding Aurora's hand.

"Because like I said he's a sheep in wolves clothing, and Uncle Knoxs isn't he's brother however her uncle is blood related to her" Mr.Willson says causing all three of us to be confused.

"Is he her mom's brother"Asking while Mr.Willson shakes his head.

"No.. I can't say more then that, this journeyquest whatever you want to call it to finding out the truth will lead you to it that I can promise you" Mr.Willson says while giving us a smile.

"Okay, but answer me this.. Should I just cut ties with my 'father' now before I find out the truth?" Aurora asks while holding her arms in front of her.

"Yes you should because once it's all out sweet heart your going to be more likely pissed to no end"Mr.Willson spats while chuckling some.

"Told you. He's been trying to call her even your uncle Knoxs told you to not talk to him just keep searching for the truth"Spatting while hugging her tightly.

"I know.. An by the way who's Ray?" Aurora asks causing Mr.Willson to cough like crazy.

"You okay!?!" Joy says while patting his back.

"I'm fine.. Ray knows your uncle Knoxs and me, he's a great man blamed for a crime he never committed" Mr.Willson spats while balling up his fist slowly.

"That's what my uncle Knoxs said I just wanted to confirm it that's all, but is there anything else we need to know" Aurora asks while leaning her head on my shoulder.

"Well just this along the way make sure you carry guns I know your uncle Knoxs has trained you all to use them as self-defense, and only if you need them but other than that enjoy the views because I know you going to a few amazing places and you're never alone trust me"Mr.Willson says while smiling at us.

"Why do I get the feeling you'll be following us as well as our guys?" Spatting while tilting my head some.

"Layla you are right, I will be just to make sure you girls stay safe when your guys aren't around"Mr.Willson spats causing us to laugh.

"So what are you are guardian angel or something?" Joy asks while raising her eyebrow.

"Girls you have no idea, but why don't you all go get some lunch and bring it back here because if you don't come back here and the boys show up they'll send the damn search party and we all know it won't end well"Mr.Willson says causing us to laugh.

"Oh gosh just imagine.. Wait don't" Aurora spats between laughs.

"Yeah I don't want to"Saying while whipping tears away from my eyes.

"Alright well girls I must run I have someone to meet an believe me they hate having me late"Mr.Willson says while getting out of his chair.

"Thank you so much for answering the questions that you could"We all say while watching him leave.

"Aurora are you okay and don't lie!" Hissing while pulling her into a hug.

"Yeah don't lie to us"Joy spats while leaning on the both of us.

"No I'm not okay, my mom is dead and my 'father' is a sheep.. But I'll be okay thank you guys for being here with me" Aurora says while leaning on us.

"Eh it's no problem that's what best friends are for plus we all get to see fantastic locations"Saying while wiggling my eyebrow.

"And we have the guys chasing us even though their ass's are cheating by making their own rules"Joy spats causing me and Aurora to nod our heads.

"But we can always turn that around" Aurora says with a smirk.

"Oh gezz let's get lunch before you come up with a devilish plan again even though it's always fun"Saying while getting up causing both Aurora and Joy to giggle.

Walking back into the house Aurora grabs her keys to her car as me and Joy make sure the doors are locked up so no one gets in while we are away even though her uncle Knoxs can get in because it's his place I gotta admit her uncle has style when it comes to buying things I wonder if Arturo would go for something like this or different none the matter I need to focus on Aurora right now finding out her mom died protecting her was a big shock to all of us but mostly her, she always wondered about her mom but no one would have thought that in a million years shaking my head I lock the front door behind us an follow my bestfriends to the car so we can get lunch an bring it back an figure out our next move hopefully.

I get to see Arturo before the day is over not going to lie I miss his ass already he better miss me or I'll kick his ass well I'll try sighing opening the car door an get in while Aurora starts up her car more like monster if you ask me but it's sexy as hell, shutting the door turning the radio on for us while Aurora winds down all the windows letting the fresh air come in while Joy pops her head in the middle turning the music up while Aurora beging to pull out the drive away heading towards who knows where to get lunch.

After going to Olive Garden and grabbing some take out for lunch which I have to say yum because we got our favorites and salads which I love to tell the truth but honestly I can't get help but think about our conversation with Mr.Willson between him telling us that Aurora's father is a wolf in sheep's clothing and her mom dying protect her from a man makes me wonder if he was hinting at something "What if?" saying to myself, while glancing over to Aurora who's dancing some to the song that's playing giggling I take a glance in the mirror and I see a car that's been following us for quite a little bit but I noticed are getting a little too close for comfort almost as if they're trying to hit us or worse noticing that they're picking up a little speed my heart begins to race grabbing my bag this is not going to end well.

"Aurora look out" Yelling as while seeing the car come closer.

"What?..." Aurora says while looking back an noticing the car as she began to pick up speed.

"Joy hold my legs quick I'm going to shoot at the "Spatting while pulling my gun out my bag.

"Okay crazy ass hurry up there trying to run us off the road"Joy yells while I nod my head as get up an sit on the window feeling the wind hit my face.

"One shot hit near the headlight like we were trained to do remember" Aurora yells so I could hear her while undo the safety clip on my gun.

"I know!!!"Yelling while pointing my gun at the headlight at the car.

"You got this we believe in you!!" Both Aurora and Joy yell while I get ready to fire off my gun.

I slowly my breathing down some an with an instant I pull the trigger multiple times making sure I didn't miss Aurora speeds up a little more but then she slams on the brakes as her an Joy get out as we see the car slowed down as doors fly open from it and guys start to run but we noticed one that stands out "Tyler" we all say as we watch them run into the woods, while Aurora an Joy pull out their guns and within an instant a big explosion happens luckily for us we weren't near the car as the flames and smoke start to consume it we stand there and just watch but all three of us know that we need our guys now more than anything at the moment everything happen like we were in a fog we just pulled out our phones an called.

"Arturo"Saying.

"Vincenzo"Aurora says.

"Guido"Joy says.

"We need you now....."All three of us say before we hang up our phones as we watch the fire dance as a car slowly burns way.

Picture Layla took of Arturo 🔥.
