“No, are you crazy?” I sigh.
She doesn’t disappoint me in her reaction. In fact, she almost falls off the treadmill, which makes us both hysterical.
“Holy shit,” she says slowly.
“What does it mean?” I look at her as she sips on her water bottle thoughtfully.
“Dude, how did you wait two months to tell me this? What the fuck? It’s not like you have anything else going on.”
“You were busy with assignments. I think they took a little more priority, besides you’re all loved up. I didn’t want to drag you down.”
“Don’t be such a dumbass. I always have time for you,” she says pinching me playfully.
“Ow! What was that for?”
“For withholding important information,” she says rolling her eyes.
“I was embarrassed. I thought maybe he would call me or stop by, but he never did, so I just figured it was over,” I say mournfully.
“He still loves you.” She shrugs.
“What about the other women?” I say sighing.
“I’ve never seen him with anyone, they’re probably just rumors.”
“Rocco isn’t going to not have sex, he needs it every night,” I say scoffing.
“Gross! He’s so busy with Chicago he probably doesn’t have time for social activities,” she says thoughtfully. “He loves you and you love him. Maybe it will all work out.”
“He’s never said he has. I’ve only said it to him twice which he ignored.”
“He’s never said it to me and I’m his sister, but this is different. Very interesting.”
“He left me after I slept with him on Christmas night. He might as well have called any random girl,” I say annoyed at myself for being so easy to discard.
“I guess he didn’t want to stir up old feelings, he wanted it to be just about sex.”
“So, I guess it was just a one-off.”
“Why don’t you ask him?”
“You make it sound like it’s so easy.”
“The club is throwing a huge Valentine’s Day party tomorrow, why don’t you ask him yourself then. Perfect timing.”
“He won’t allow me into the club.”
“I’ve been sneaking into clubs since I was thirteen, I’ve got this.”
She gives me a knowing smile before she starts speed texting on her phone. Whatever she has planned, I hope it works.
Capri feels like a fucking long time ago, Sophia and I are approaching almost a year of marriage but it’s hardly traditional in any sense of the word. I slipped that night at her papa’s house, it was the first time we had been alone without anybody else there. I was surprised at how much I still wanted her; it was like every feeling had resurfaced back to the forefront of my mind.
I hadn’t kissed a single broad since Sophia, and it took all my willpower not to break it that night. It was the main reason I wanted to take her from behind, an excuse not to look into her face or fall into her eyes. I could tell she was surprised because I never much favored that position when I was with her, because it required zero eye contact. I let myself slip, because I was hungry for her, hungry to touch all her most forbidden places but I knew I could never forgive so easily.
It looked like we were finally making progress with the war against Chicago. We had managed to outmaneuver and outman them. The loss of Ivan Romanov, Artem’s brother-in-law, was a massive blow to the Bratva since he was one of their highest-ranking captains. I keep waiting for further retaliation after the hijacked drug shipments, but it never came. Tonight is Valentine’s Day, a big night for the nightclub business, and I already have over a thousand revelers coming in and those are just the singles, not counting the VIP’s who will be spending thousands on champagne, cocaine, and the call girls we have strategically placed around the club.
“Somebody is here to see you,” Dominic’s voice says interjecting my thoughts.
