Chapter 4

Collins just looked at Sly and then back at me. The expression on his face showed that he was completely surprised at Sly's display, for he knew that Sly wasn't the type of person to do this kind of things. He would most likely had just left me in the ally after getting rid of those thugs; unless he just wanted to have fun with me; but it didn't seem to Collins that this was the case. Sly and his team were known to be the most powerful mafia in the continent.

"Uh, am sorry if am bothering or bringing misunderstanding between you guys. I can just go back and..", I was yet to complete my sentence, before Collins cut me off.

"Sylvester, you can't just bring a girl here and you know that. And also, she just can't leave her house like that, what if her family members begins to look for her", Collins said.

After listening to what Collins had to say, Sly walked up to me with his facial expression full of ignorance to his brothers words.

"How old are you?", Sly asked.

"I'm 18", I replied already filled with tension.

"There, she can stay here. Look am going to have to take care of that problem now. Now, give her some food will you?", sly said, taking my side over that of his brother.

Sly didn't even wait for Collins to give him a feedback. He just left the living room, patting my head as he walked away; leaving just me and Collins in the living room. I was already beginning to imagine the silly questions he would throw at me, and had already cleared my throat like three times awaiting his questions. But funny enough, Collins didn't ask me any further questions either. He just looked at me and said "follow me", then he began to walk away.

I followed suit, and we ended up in a very big kitchen that was few meters away. Just like the leaving room, the kitchen was colored white, and the furniture black. It was much bigger than I could ever imagine a kitchen would ever been. I just couldn't help but gasp in awe, as everything was too much for me to dilute. Collins didn't understand why I was quite amused as everything already seemed normal for him.

Collins ended up being frustrated that night, as he ended up making me a delicious sandwich for me to eat, he even began to feel like a babysitter. He was Collins Luciano after all, part of a very powerful mafia. He finally served me the food after he was done making it.

"Thank you sir", I said as the food was brought to the table.

"Please don't call me that, it makes me feel old", Collins said smiling at me.

"Oh.., Sylvester didn't like that either. I like your name though", I giggled.

I was much younger than the both of them, and even shorter. Collins was just as tall as his brother, and even had an intimidating look as well. He had tattoos both at his right and left hands, and though I couldn't see it; he hand a gun hid on his belt. Collins found me cute, and actually liked the fact that my height ended at his chest.

At first, he knew he could kill me with just his hands, of course he was still mad at his brothers mistake. The worst part for him was that Sly was now indirectly making him my care taker, but he couldn't show off his anger before me, as I wasn't the one at fault. I was still shy though, and he didn't want me to be scared of him in any way.

"Thank you sir.. uh, Collins", I said as I was finally done eating.

Collins was just about to respond to me, when we had a loud bang not to far from us. I felt my heart beating too fast from the surprising sound, I had always been afraid of loud scary sounds. Even as I was tensed, Collins seemed not to be bothered about what had happened. He just clicked his tongue and turned to me.

"Don't worry, it's nothing", Collins assured me, as he saw that I was all ready to take my next step.

"This motherfuckers never learn", a man said from the background; while another man came in.

"Jerry, I have already told you to.. oh, hey",. The other man said.

Three guys were now staring at me. I suddenly began to feel anxious, and couldn't stand their stare anymore, so I looked down at my hand, confused of what to say. I felt it right to at least give them a greeting. But as I raised my head to greet them, I quickly spotted some blood stains on the shirt of the man in front of me. So I rapidly stood up form the chair, and took some steps backward.

The man tried to approach me to know me better and what I was doing here, but I was too scared to stand before him, so I hid at Collins back.

"Kelvin just let her be, she is still scared", Collins said.

Kelvin gasped at me and then shook his head repeatedly.

"This?, He said touching the blood stains.

"This isn't blood, this is..', unable to complete his sentence as Sylvester interrupted him.

"What in God's name is going on there. I thought I asked you to be careful while doing it", Sylvester said entering the kitchen.

As soon as he saw the scene. He began looking around for me, and suddenly spotted me at Collin's back, full of tension and ready to run away. He furrowed his eyebrows, and before he could alter a word, I ran towards him just in case.

Sly then used his hand to put me behind him, and then groaned at them. Even though they were the toughest guys in the city, they kind of like felt nervous at his glare.

"He just couldn't stop to piss me off Sly, I just had too", Kelvin tried explaining himself.

"But who is this you are talking about?", Collins asked.

I felt like a little kid in the mist of this muscular men. I didn't dare to look at their faces, especially the new guys that just stepped in. And at that moment, I felt like following Sylvester to his house wasn't exactly the right option I would have chosen.

"She is my guest", Sylvester said placing his hands on my shoulder and pulling me out of his back.

"Collins will tell you the rest. So please can you finish what so ever you want to do in silence", Sylvester concluded.
