Keith's POV
"Aim, aim , aim figlio aim!" Papà yelled
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
And just like that I hit the bull's eye not once, twice or thrice but five times. I mean I don't mean to brag but that's REALLY good. I'm built like that.
"Ahaaaaa! there you go that's my son ha!!" Papà literally jumped on me.
"Grazie, Papà. I just need to work on my aiming more and it will be perfect." I told Papà
"No, figlio. That's perfect enough really. You're good. Can I tell you a secret." Papà came closer
"Well you're better than Braian." Papà whispered
"I heard that, Papà" Braian spoke up.
Oh Braian. Papà's ' second born. I'm obviously the first born but, it isn't always a very good thing as they always have very high expectations. I need set example for my siblings Braian and Ninalica. As they definitely see what I do. Something that Papà reminds me of almost everyday to be precise. I can't help it but to think back at Imani what she's doing and most certainly how she's doing.
"Keith"
"Keith"
Uh are they calling me?
"Keith"
Oh wait shoot that is me
"Yes, yes" I respond
"Damn I've been calling you where is your head at?" Papà asked
"I think we all do." Braian said with a lil smirk on his face
"Shut up." I scolded.
Braian raised his hands in defense. Papà scanned my face for awhile and definitely knew what it was. Papà sighed and shook his head.
"Figlio, leave that girl alone, I do not hate her or despise her. She's a good girl, but her family is who I despise. They might use her to get to you and us ,if not today then someday she'll betray you and if this betrayal somehow affects you badly or our family then I won't hesitate to kill her and whoever sent her." Papà threatened.
He walked away and went into the house. Braian patted my shoulder and shook his head , he too entered the house. I sighed and stared back at Braian, walking calmly as if he didn't just start all of this AGAIN. They speak as if it's easy to LEAVE her, LET go, or even FORGET her. I wish Nonnina Letizia was here she understands me so much with all these things.
You know unlike everyone else the first time she found out or basically when I told her but she was like I knew it, I knew it but she was so excited actually. We literally spoke about all day and because she's Nonnina Letiza we even reached to our baby names. I miss her so much with her I don't even feel the presence of not having a mother. My mom died after giving birthed to Ninalica well that's what they told us but to my conclusion she was killed.
But it's like who I do talk to, who do I ask, who can help find out—
"Ehilà, come va mio caro amico!"
Ughhhhhh not now. But actually yes now.
"Come va,fratello? Mi sei mancato da queste parti. How was Russia?" I saluted my beloved friend as we walked into the house.
"Oh Russia was beautiful actually but since we were only there for business I couldn't really explore." Dantè sighed "And what about you, Imani? How's she?" he asked
Oh yea mine and Imani's number one shipper. He's our cheerleader, he's really good he could actually make it to the championships.
"Huh Americano??" Dantè teased
"Ugh no not that name again how many times do I gotta tell you I'm not Americano." I scolded
"Figlio, your names Keith that isn't no Italian name. Take me for example. Dantè which means 'enduring', 'lasting' what a beautiful name. Till the end I'll last and I'll endure it all. And then we get Keith what does that even mean?" he asked
"I don't even know"
"Exactly" he chuckled
"Figlio, I'm hungry got any food in your house?"
"I'm older than you, bambino you know that."
"Hey, that's you mocking me now."
"Um, who started this?"
We entered the kitchen and sat on counters eating eating chips while we warm up our food.
"Dantè?" Ninalica questioned
"Ahh Lica." he walked to towards her to hug her.
"No body contact." I scolded
Dantè rolled his eyes. Even though his back was faced to me I swear that's what he did. He raised his right hand to show a hand shake.
"Yes that's good."
I do this to keep my sister away from Dantè. Dantè is trouble and wouldn't want my sister to be part of that. I don't really like my sister getting close to any of my friends, Dantè he's an expecting actually. I would really like to break the cycle of mafia marrying mafia for my sister know how the majority men are. If it were up to me I'd send Nina Abroad somewhere to keep her away from this.
"You really look pretty."
*giggles*
This is what I do not want.
"Dantè and I are leaving."
"No we're not"
I blankly stare at him. Which he calls 'The Ultimate Death Stare That Could Send You To Death' his words not mine.
"Fine, fine I'll see you around bella mia"
And she waved. I sighed at whatever that was. And his next words really got me choking no like actually.
"One day I'll get married to your sister but you'll do nothing but just clap" he assured me way too determined for my liking.
