Mafia Boss's Angel
Gosh! Those eyes! They were screaming cute!
His masculine beauty was out of this world and he is the kind of man I’d love.
The only problem I saw in him was the big tattoo on his arm that extended to his wrists.
Being a typical church girl, I couldn’t end up with such a man unless I wanted to be disowned by my father.
“I’d have a glass of martini, extra dirty and tacos.” He said in a dreamy gusty voice.
“Coming right up” I said taking the menu list and flashed a timid smile at him.
I felt my cheeks burning and if there was a mirror around here, I’d have checked how embarrassing I must be looking. My face must have definitely turned pink.
I watched him as he ate gracefully without looking elsewhere, his eyes were fixed on his phone.
His short brown hair was to die for, I instantly wished I could run my fingers through them.
Too bad, I might not be the kind of woman he wants; it wouldn't hurt to have sinful fantasies.
He suddenly looked towards me, maybe he must have noticed I had my eyes on him all along.
Immediately he locked eyes with mine, I looked elsewhere pretending to looking for something that wasn’t missing.
I could tell he gave a faint smile but kept sipping his drink slowly, as he was gazing at his phone.
He gave a signal to come and get his bill and I walked gracefully to him.
God! I wish he could just take me to bed.
Oops! I’m a church girl and shouldn’t be thinking of things like that.
“You should take a picture of me, it will last longer.” He said in a baritone voice.

Chapter: Chapter 15: Charity (B)John's pov"Cindy?" I asked.God! She looked even more beautiful in her regular clothes; a dull yellow turtleneck sweater over a denim skirt, sneakers and her hair was in a messy bun... she looked so homey. What's more? She was wearing glasses and I could tell they were prescribed."I didn't know you go here." She said with her pretty smile."I don't. I was only accompanying an acquaintance, Vince and his family." She looked away from me then to the others. For some reason, Vince had a disturbed look on his face."Them I know. Hello guys, dropping off your donations?" With how cheerful she spoke, you could tell she did know them."Yeah. What are you doing here though? There's no choir practice today, right?" Lucia asked her."I'm here with Maddie, she practically forced me to come with her.""Who's Maddie?" I asked."My baby sister, she's part of the quiz team. I was actually on my way to buy drinks for them. I'll let you guys be now."I felt a nagging feeling of longing as she turne

Chapter: Chapter 14: Charity (A)John's povIt wasn't anything new for dad to be that cold hearted. In fact, besides his associates, he only ever approves of a loan when he knows the borrower can't pay back, then he has to take something worth more than what was borrowed; something he only had to invest in a little and it brings in ten times more money that was lost.We're the mafia, shady business like that is what we do.I was left to my thoughts in my office, afterall, the only important work that needed my attention was in dad's private room and I wanted to be far away from him at that moment.Sometimes I wonder, dad is business smart and has made a lot of money over the years; why didn't he just abandon the illegal part of the business and have us live remotely peaceful lives?So what if Mr. Berman's business was crumbling, at least he didn't have to watch his back every second or sleep with a gun under his pillow. His kids gets to live normal lives and marry whoever they want and not live a life of a liar.Yeah

Chapter: Chapter 13: An Old AcquaintanceJohn's PovI was in dad's private room with him, going through some important documents we needed in settling the deed on a property we wanted to acquire for a new branch of our club in Seattle, when one of the boys knocked and came in."Excuse me, sir. There is a Mr. Berman here to see you." He announced. I saw dad's eyebrow shoot up in question. Berman? That name was new to me, so I knew it couldn't be a business partner."Benjamin Berman?" Dad asked and the boy nodded. At that, dad suddenly broke into a hysterical laugh and I knew for certain there was some kind of bad history there. Dad was someone who could bear a grudge for ages to come."Show him in." Dad said, still chuckling and the boy left.I got up, ready to excuse myself and avoid the entire drama but dad put up his hand."Don't leave yet, let me introduce you two." He said and I nodded against my wish, sitting back down.In no time, there was a light knock and the boy threw open the door, holding it open for the middle-a

Chapter: Chapter 12: Don't Believe The Rumours (B)Cindy's pov "Okay. So, you're going home now?""Not really. I was just going to hang around until practice is over, but now you're here, I don't mind watching."I found myself blushing and quickly averted my eyes."Also, you told me we'd get to talk later on Sunday but you disappeared on me.""That's... That's right. I did plan to wait, but my dad was in a hurry, so I had to leave.""Maybe we'd get to talk after practice? I could give you a ride home too."Before I could reply, I saw Alice from the corner of my eye, watching us and I panicked. "I'm sorry, I have to go now." I said hurriedly and sidestepped past him to meet the other choir members.Rather than leaving, Sean came back and sat down on the front pew, watching me. I did my best to keep my eyes on anything but him.Since I was already late, I didn't get to exchange pleasantries with Alice, we only made eye contact and she smiled at me, I returned her smile.Practice took nearly two hours but we sounded great and was ready

Chapter: Chapter 11: Don't Believe The Rumours (A)Cindy's povJohn...John...I liked his name... I liked it even more than Michael. Sure, I didn't know any angel named John, but Jesus's most beloved disciple was named John, that's still good enough.Though I felt bad that he couldn't have his lunch because of me, I was grateful for the talk we had, it left me feeling better. Mom and Dad may not need my help right away but that didn't mean that I was backing down. At the first sign of distress, I'll take up another job or two and make them collect all my savings, but I wouldn't let the worry bother me or ruin my mood anymore.Alright, so maybe Mabel was right, not a lot of men would take out their time to listen to other people's troubles or even offer any advice. And the way John spoke really proves that he could relate. I thought someone like him must have run away from home at age fourteen and lived on the streets, selling illegal stuffs, but I was wrong, he was someone that cared about his parents just like I did.Oh, Cindy!

Chapter: Chapter 10: Friendly adviceJohn's povI couldn't concentrate.For the past hour, I've been staring at the heap of documents on my desk without really seeing them. I was plagued with thoughts, thoughts of the angel-like woman I met the day before. I couldn't stop replaying our very short conversation and her smile, over and over again in my head.That was a problem.Even while I was with Fiona, shopping and the rest, I kept thinking about Cindy, wondering what it would feel like having her next to me rather than Fiona. Obviously, I would be happier in her company.But I wasn't doing it again... comparing Fiona to Cindy. That was not fair to Fiona and she actually made an effort to be less annoying throughout our outing. She didn't even buy so many shoes and clothes, unlike her and she used the proper cutlery at dinner.That was a good start.Yet... I was making no headway with work. I had to stretch my legs a little, go out for a bit to clear my head so I could focus on work. I had to get Cindy off my mind some
