The Mafia's Boy Toy 17. Breaking My Walls
David;“Ugh… “I groan in thick exhaustion as I rub my eyes. They feel incredibly heavy and difficult to open. I slowly pull them open, and when my eyes land on the sparkly chandelier above me, my brain registers the headache in my head. My head feels so heavy, it seems lifting it would be difficult. My mouth is bitter and feels like sandpaper. I feel like shit. And I need to peep…. And maybe puke?I groan as I pull myself into a sitting position and hold my throbbing head.“How much did I drink…? “I mutter as I try to find some relief from this intense headache, and that’s when I hear his voice. “A lot. “I look up in alarm, and he’s standing there beside the door. I groan as the sudden movement makes me feel nauseous. So, I stop and keep my eyes on him. Scared of agitating my system anymore. He’s in grey sweatpants and a white singlet that shows off his build and tattoos. His hair is down and frames his face. He looks like a hot mess. The most casual I’ve ever seen him.I watch him

David;I groan as I’m woken by knocking on the door. I sit up and rub my eyes in exhaustion.“Yeah? “I call, and a maid’s voice replies.“Good morning, sir. Mr. Salvatore has sent me to tell you to come down for breakfast. “She says, and I stretch before turning to the digital clock on the bedside table and find that it’s 8:00 am.“I’ll be down in a bit. ““Alright. “She replies, and I sigh in the silence. That's when it dawns on me. It worked… Salvatore’s disgusting potion worked. I don’t feel hungover anymore. The headache and sluggishness is gone. He was right! Not that I’d ever admit it,Besides, I’m starving. Maybe I’ll thank him at breakfast. From a safe distance. I can’t have him trying anything funny.I yawn and stretch some more before getting off the bed. I grab my phone and find a text from Vanessa. It’s an image. I open it and see a picture of her and a nurse.- I made a new friend today. -I smile at the message.-You’re such a gem. Who wouldn’t want to be your friend? -

David;Salvatore looks at me over his cup, and I clench my teeth tighter. Any tighter, and I might shatter my jaw. So, this is how he wants to play? Fine! I look away from him, and finally, maids pour into the room. They spread food all over the table, and I let my mind indulge in the smell of sweet food to distract myself from the blinding rage I’m feeling. There are croissants & brioche, fruit platter, fruit juice, coffee, and… I feel a sudden burst of excitement when I see it, and suddenly some of my anger vanishes. Chocolate cake!My mouth begins to water and I begin to search my mind for the last time I ate chocolate cake. It’s been so long since I had it. I watch from under my lashes as Salvatore fills his plate with a few pastries and fills his cup with more tea. Lucas begins to reach for the chocolate cake, and my heart veins to thud in annoyance. I swear to God, if he touches that cake, I will FLIP this table… Even though it’s probably twice my weight.I watch his hand move

Salvatore:“Seriously? 24 hours? Are you guys shitting me? “Lucas says as we walk into my office, and I walk over to my window. There, I see David who took permission to go on a stroll. I know he asked for it cause he didn’t want to be under the same roof with Lucas and me for much longer.“Are you even listening to me!? “Lucas's voice breaks through my thoughts, and I nod.“Yeah. “I reply, and Lucas walks over to me and stands beside the window. He leans against the wall, and even though my eyes are on David, I can see him.“Do you really think he can do it? He stared at that video for like 5 seconds and somehow, he was so confident that he could find the guy. “Lucas says, and I sigh.“Honestly, I don’t know if he can do it. I know that he has his way with computers, but it’s the first time he offered to help. I can’t turn him down. “I say, and Lucas sighs.“I’ll send you a copy of the video. Do your investigation, but keep it under wraps. “I add before looking back at David, and I w

David;“Ugh… “I groan as I sit down. I spent the past few minutes trying to help this bird with its wing. I noticed it was broken, so I had to try to help it. If I left it alone, who knows what would have happened to it. I gently set it down on the table in Salvatore's room, and sit on the chair in front of it.“Don’t worry. You’ll be back to your old self in no time. “I say to it like it can understand me, and when I reach out to rub its head, it nuzzles into my touch. Causing me to smile. I didn’t expect to gain its trust so easily. I have shown it a bit of care, and now it’s not weary of me. How is it so sure I won’t hurt it?Is this what Salvatore and my relationship is? In just a matter of days, my view has changed about him. I find my views on him changing even though I don’t know much about him. How am I sure he won’t hurt me? Is he trying to fix me like I’m doing with this bird? Or… Did he just see something he liked and thought he deserves to keep me?I sigh again in frustrat

Salvatore:I could see what he was doing from the system in my office. I installed a mirroring bug in both his phone and the laptop I gave him. I didn’t do that cause I don’t trust him. I did it cause I know he doesn’t trust me. I need to be aware of everything going on with him now that he’s under my care, but his distrust for me will hold him back from telling me. So… I had to do what I’ve done.I watched the entire process of him hunting down this guy, and I am beyond impressed. He stepped into the dark and was somehow able to navigate the uncertainties. He managed to whip this guy out of thin air in just 3 hours. Lucas is still busy hunting based on the tattoo, and David… Without thinking, I rush into the room after David is done, but when he sees me, I see that his face is pale. The is so much fear and uncertainty in his beautiful eyes as those violet orbs stare at me. I had just asked him a question, but instead of him to answer, he tries to hide his notebook behind him. I take

David;Throw Back:“I… I think I like you… “I say. My voice is barely above a whisper as I’m afraid of what will happen… How he will react?“Yeah. I like you too, man. “Jasper replies, as he punches my arm and I swallow before looking up into his honey-brown eyes.“No… Not like that. I mean… I like… Like you. As in… More than… a friend…? “I reply, and I watch his smile drop.“Stop joking, David. It’s not funny. “He laughs, and I gulp.“I’m not joking Jasper. I… I mean it. I feel happy when you’re around, I’m always happy to be around you, I enjoy your company more than I enjoy mine. I… Have a crush on you, Jasper. “I confessed, and his laughter dropped completely. Silence fell upon the backyard as I stared at my best friend.“What rubbish are you saying, David! “He exclaims as he rushes to his feet, and I immediately sit on my calves. Too afraid to dare to stand.“I know something was bothering you, and I probed you to tell me, but I was not expecting this! We’ve been best friends for

Salvatore:“Will you stop pacing? You’re making my eyes hurt. “Lucas says as he sits up and rubs his eyes.“Why is he so stubborn? He is difficult to understand. Every time I think I have him figured out, he goes and pulls another stunt. “I rate, and Lucas scoffs.“Gee. I wonder who that reminds me of. “He replies, and I stop pacing and glare at him.“What? You know it’s true. Do you have any idea how much you stressed me when our friendship just began? Understanding you was more difficult than my thesis. That says a lot! “He adds, and I roll my eyes. “I’m helping him. Dimitri is a psychopath! “I rant as I start pacing again, and he shrugs.“To be fair, so are you… “He replies, and I clench my fists as I stop once again to glare at my best friend.“Don’t piss me off. “I warn, and he holds up his hands in surrender.“Alright… Alright. Want some advice? “He replies, and I cross my arms across my chest to look at him. “Yes, Buddha. What’s your take on this? “I reply, and he scratches hi

Lucas;He adjusts on the bed and bites into one of his cookies. “I’ve known for a while now.” He says casually as he chews, and suddenly, his eyes light up.“Wow! This tastes amazing!” He exclaims, and I blink at him. How the hell did he figure it out? Should I lie? Does Sal know he knows this? Does he know Sal was…“I also know Sal was Desmond.” He adds as he keeps eating, and I reach for the wall for support.I don’t know if to deny this.“Sal knows I know. I don’t think it would be fair to keep you in the dark.” He adds, and finally, he looks up at me again. He looks unbothered, and me. I don’t know how to feel about this, so I blurt out the first thing that makes it past the chaos in my head.“How did you figure that out?” “What do they say about a magician and his tricks?“ He replies, and I scoff before moving back to the bed. He doesn’t seem upset or worried by it.“I underestimated you,” I note, and he laughs.“A lot of people do.” He replies, and I stare at him in disbeli
The Mafia's Boy Toy 87. What Else Does He Know?
Lucas;“What if Sal hasn’t let himself love anyone else since Dimitri, cause… somewhere in his heart, he still… loves him?” I chomp on the chocolate cookies Mrs. Lana made me as I reminisce on David’s words.Sal can’t possibly have feelings for Dimitri. It’s impossible. Right?I’d know… For me, not even being able to tell that they once dated, it should mean he doesn’t love Dimitri anymore. Right??I groan as I walk over to my ceiling-to-floor window and stare at the ocean. This man will be the death of me. I watch as the water ripples gently with the moon reflecting gracefully on it, as I listen to the waves gently clap in the distance. I shut my eyes. David’s sad face comes to my mind, and I peel my eyes back open. I understand how he feels. But it’s pointless for him to feel that way.I don’t understand the Sal and Dimitri drama, but I know Sal is in love with David. That’s not up for debate. The only person who isn’t loved here… Is me.There’s suddenly a knock on my door, and I
The Mafia's Boy Toy 86. Why Does Love Hurt?
David;“Wait… You didn’t know?” I ask him, and Lucas’s mouth falls open as he stares at me. “No, I didn’t know! How’s that even… What? How did you… Where did you hear something like that?” He questions. Absolutely dumbfounded, and I scoff in disbelief.I can’t believe Sal didn’t even tell him.“WOW!” I exclaim before looking away in disbelief.“Wait. You can’t be serious. That’s not possible. I would know. He’s never mentioned anything like that.” Lucas exclaims, still in shock, and I turn to him.“It is true. When they were teenagers. Dimitri told me… And he showed me pictures.” I replied, and Lucas stared at me in silence. His dark green eyes blinking in disbelief.“You’re sure they were photoshopped or… or edited pictures?” He asks, refusing to believe it, and I shake my head in disagreement.“I would know an edited picture when I see one. It wasn’t fake, Lucas. I asked Sal about it, and he begged me not to talk about it.” I reply, and silence falls upon us. “How could he hide so
The Mafia's Boy Toy 85. David And Lucas
*Song For This Chapter: I Can’t Make You Love Me(Cover) By Bon Iver*Lucas;I stroll through Sal’s mansion with my cup of milk in my hand. I wanted booze, but Mrs Lana refused to give me any till my wounds healed properly. I kiss my teeth as my mind fails to make the milk taste or seem like alcohol.“So much for the power of imagination…” I whisper to myself as I keep walking, and looking about the dimly lit house. Dark as Sal likes it. This was his childhood home. He always avoided this place, but he came here to keep David Safe. He loves him that much… It is pitiable to see that the fool still hasn’t realised how much he loves the boy. I’m about to walk past a corridor when I hear someone humming in the distance. I look down at my watch, and it’s 11:30 pm. What normal person isn’t asleep by this time? Oh… Right. I’m awake too.I follow the voice, and I stop when I see David. He has his back turned to me and is staring over the sea behind the estate. He’s in long, navy blue woolle
The Mafia's Boy Toy 84. He Never Listens
David;I let out a long yawn as I open my eyes, and I’m confused when my gaze lands on a black ceiling. Where the fuck…? What is this place?? Wasn’t I with Sal??I sit up in a panic, and relief washes over me when I find that I’m still in the car. I look back down at the seat in confusion, and I find that the chair has been reclined. Salvatore must have done that.I realise that I’m alone in the car with its windows down, and the car is parked directly in front of a hospital. A hospital??Why are we here??Aren’t we going to pick up Lucas? Salvatore soon walks through the hospital doors, but my brows crease at the person beside him. The person Sal is helping to walk. It’s Lucas. What happened to him? I try to open the door, but realise that Sal locked me in, and I frown.Why did he do that? They soon get to the car, and I scowl at Sal as he reaches for the car key in his pocket. He presses a button, and all the doors open. Causing me to roll my eyes. “Why did you lock me in?” I
The Mafia's Boy Toy 83. I Won't Let You Go
David;I thank Salvatore as I take the bag from him and pull out one of the gummy packs, when a thought hits me.“Want one?” I question, and he nods awkwardly.“S-Sure…” He replies, and I reach into the bag to give him one. He got me so many…“Thank you.” He replies, and I force a smile at him before looking down at the pack in my hands. I tear it open and am about to put my earpiece back into my ear, but he suddenly speaks.“D-did you like breakfast?” He questions, and I look up at him with a raised brow. Why did that sound weird… and rushed? Like he was desperately trying to start a conversation? Well, I have been silent for half an hour. It’s only fair I say something.“Hmm,” I reply, and I see hurt in his eyes. I let out a breath as he looks away, and kicks the car back to life. I watch his gloomy face as he pulls out of the gas station, and I begin to feel guilty. He was expecting more… but I’m not in the mood to talk.“It tasted different, though,” I add, and I see his eyes lig
The Mafia's Boy Toy 82. The Calm Before The Storm
David;“David?” I hear Sal’s voice call gently as someone shakes me, but I’m not ready to wake up yet.“Mmm.” I groan as I turn away from the light and pull the duvet over my head.“Wake up, David. It’s time for breakfast.” He says as he tries to pull off the duvet, but I don’t let him.“I’m not hungry…” I slur, but he doesn’t relent.“Yes, you are. You didn’t eat last night.” He says, but I don’t respond.“You don’t have to get out of bed. I brought it up here for you.” He adds, and this partially removes sleep from my eyes.What does he mean he brought it up here for me?I slowly raise the duvet and peek out at him from under it. In his hands is a tray of covered plates, and the aroma hits my nose. My stomach rumbles, and I immediately sit up as I rub my eyes.“Good morning, sleepy head.” He greets me as I yawn and stretch, and I just stare at him as my thoughts start falling into place. I need a few seconds to do that every morning.“Good morning.” I greet him, and he smiles. He
The Mafia's Boy Toy 81. Honey Leaves Its Trace
David;“How do I get him to love me, Mrs. Lana? I don’t think I can live without him, but I can’t live like this. I just want someone to love me for once… I want someone to choose me. To choose to love me…” I croak as I wipe a line of tears from my eyes, and Mrs Lana sighs as she closes the bottle of honey and stands up.“Do you know why I decided to work as a cook for Salvatore’s family?” She questions as she returns the honey to the fridge, and I raise a brow.“Why?” I question, wondering how any of this is related to what I just told her.“Cause I wanted peace. I wanted to be able to cook, and sleep, drink tea, and watch television for as long as I wanted,” she says as she closes the fridge. And I raise a brow.“And… You don’t do that?”“I do it. But every now and then, I can’t enjoy the simplicity of my life, cause you two boys want to kill me with stress. “She says as she folds her hands over her chest and gives me a look.“One of you’s a coward, the other’s blind— and I’m just a
The Mafia's Boy Toy 80. I Need Someone To Choose Me
David;I stare at Sal as he sleeps, and I can’t stop my tears. They’re silent… But drowning. How hard is it to love me? Why doesn’t he love me? He wants me to stay… He needs me to stay… But he doesn’t love me. And that kills me. I couldn’t bear to see him broken like that… crying like that. I said I’d stay but I don’t know if I have the strength to. To leave, or to stay… I don’t know if I have that strength. Why won’t he just love me?Does he think I don’t love him? Am I not good enough? Will people laugh at or disrespect him if they find out that we’re together? Maybe I’m unworthy of his love…“I told you from the start, didn’t I?” Her voice flows into my ears, and I freeze. I look up and find my mother staring at me.“Loving him was a mistake. He’d never love you. You’ll never be enough for him. This is not the type of life you’re meant to live. Let me in. Let me guide you. Let me help you… You’ll kill your heart if you stay with him. You’ll wallow in loneliness and pain, David. I
