The Mafia’s Woman

“Hi.” Elsa smiled at Liam and sat next to him.

“Hey. You look pretty.”

“Thanks. You’re not looking bad yourself. How are you? Elsa asked him.

” I’m good. Still owe you a burger.”

She chuckles and turns to look at him.

“You don’t have to. I mean it’s like stressing you out.”

“I’d like to Elsa. It’s just a burger at the canteen and also I’m inviting you to a frat party this weekend if you are not that busy.”

” Wow. Frat, I’m gonna think about it. And maybe after class, we can go have the burger together.”

“Thanks.” He flashes his dimpled cheeks as the professor walks in.

Elsa placed her notepad on the desk to begin writing. She saw Lucas with Olivia as they smile at her.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Really? Are they over my lies yet?” Elsa muttered.

She would need a girl’s time after her incident with Radon. What a messy kinda life she’s living. From one shit to another.

“Planning for the exams?” Liam asked her once they step inside the canteen.

“Yeah. I can’t wait for vacation. I need a good nap and maybe an internship.”

“Internship? Got a place in mind ?”

Truly Elsa liked Summit, but then her mystery man owns it. She can’t work under him and also he’s a murderer.

“Not really,” Elsa reply and take a seat at one of the booths.

“Alright. Maybe I can look out for you. Jackson isn’t bad right?”

“Jackson? I’d like it. Thanks, Liam .” He smiles and nods as they take their orders.

“Hey, guys. Damn it’s so hot out there.” Olivia smiles at Elsa before sitting next to her. Lucas sits across then grinning like a kid who won a lottery to visit a chocolate factory.

“Hey, guys. Are you guys for real ?”

Olivia giggles and shrugs. Her eyes land on Liam as she smirks.

“Are you asking her out? She’s not single and not searching Liam.” Olivia tells him as the waitress brought in their order.

It is a chicken Burger!

” Are we getting our order or not ?” Lucas asked and lean watching Liam and Elsa.

“Sure.” Liam snapped at the waitress as she walks back to their booth to take Olivia and Lucas’s orders.

“So Liam, hope we’re not disturbing anything? We missed our buddy and we’d like to snatch her anytime soon ?” She winks and smiles at both of them.

Elsa so much misses them. Her life had been more dramatic than she could ever imagine. They eat and talk and thankfully, no one brought up anything about Radon. Elsa wasn’t in the mood to talk about him. It’s annoying he makes her want him every single day of her life. Just mere thinking about him, her mind drift to what happened between them at his penthouse. She still have his spare key and she was wondering why she’d kept it in the first place.

Liam asked for Elsa’s number and Elsa gave him before he left. Lucas drove the girls to Elsa’s apartment as they walk in. Elsa feels exhausted. College is stressing her to the core.

“Group hug..” Olivia squealed as she gives Elsa a bear hug squeezing the life out of her. Elsa hug back and Lucas joined too.

“Holy fuck. This isn’t Christmas Eve.” Alice’s voice startles them. They all turn around and she’s leaning on Elsa’s door with her arms crossed and her crazy smirk.

” What’s up C_friend. You look pretty.” She pecks Elsa’s cheeks and plumps down on the couch.

“Don’t tease me, Alice. Life has been hard without you guys.” Elsa sighed and sit next to Alice. Lucas sits on the single couch while Olivia did the same.

“You have Colorado, girl. You’re like the hottest girl in San Francisco right now. You’re stunnin’.” Alice blabbers.

“Silly rich people.” Elsa thought.

“Yeah. What’s up with you guys? You don’t look bad. With the look on your face, he did super hot magic on you. How did it even happen?” Olivia asked with full focus on Elsa.

“Guys we’re not In love. We’re not dating. We’re not even in a relationship.” Elsa sighed.

“Then what? Friends with benefits? No offense boo, but Radon doesn’t keep a girl for this long. You said you guys have been hanging out with each other for over five months. Damn girl, that’s like forever.”

” So who else perceives the chemistry between Radon and Elsa”.

“There’s no stupid chemistry. Just a naive me who doesn’t know what I want.”

“You don’t know what you want ?” Alice asked and rolls her eyes.

“I don’t. We’re not in love okay. The truth is we are just like ourselves. He’s a good person and not bad.”

“You don’t have to tell us that Elsa. We know he’s a good person. It’s just… Do you like him? Like feelings ?”

Elsa rubbed her temple and lean back on the couch.

“Yes I like him and that’s just it. I’m not sure about feelings.”

“Fuck girl you’re so lucky. I can’t imagine Mariana’s face right now if she hears this. Someone’s gonna die and resurrect.” Alice said and that earn a burst of laughter from everyone.

“It’s incredible to have someone like Colorado Carter look at you. No insults. Boy’s dope man.”

“So aside Radon, there’s no other Carter’s? I’d love to get one to look at me.” Alice said.

“Alice seriously..” Elsa chuckled.

” Yeah. It’s so sad it’s just Radon, if they are another I’d want to go for e’m” Olivia emphasized.

Elsa rolled her eyes and draw her knees to her chest.

“What about his father or even his mother ?” Elsa asked this time.

“Heard is father is dead. And according to the media, Esther Colorado, Radon’s mom remarried a Canadian after her husband’s death. So basically, Radon’s mother is in Canada. The man’s rich. I think his name is ….” Alice said snapping her fingers in thoughts.

” Grayson… Sounds like a mafia boss’s name.” Luca chuckles.

“You’ve watched too many mob movies, Lucas”.

“They are popular then.”

“Reasons I told you you’re fuckin lucky Elsa. He owns Summit. A worldwide company with a lot of million dollars piling in every single minute. That’s one of the reasons Lynda wanted Radon to herself. The fuck face is desperate.” Olivia said.

” So who’s in for a party tonight. We need to party for coming back together and also for Elsa who’s got almighty Radon wrapped around her fingers. Fuck I’m jealous.” Alice mutters and giggles.

“Alice, we’re not dating.”

“Chill boo, you’ve kissed him. I’d die thinking about that same lips adorning my skin. Hell’s sake he’s too perfect.” Olivia murmurs.

“Yeah perfect indeed? If I can remember vividly, I almost got killed yesterday.” Elsa muttered to herself.

“So who wants to party ?” Lucas beams.

” We’re all in..”

…

That night, Elsa’s room is covered in different kinds of wares the girls have been trying on including Lucas.

“I’m getting laid tonight,” Lucas mutters.

“Lucas keeps your shit in your pants,” Olivia yells at him.

“Shut up Olivia”They chuckle and get dressed.

Elsa was already getting perfect at dressing herself up. She stretches her hair and zips her strapless black dress that hugs every one of her curves as she put on her shoes. They hopped inside Alice’s black Lexus as she speeds into the night. She’s another lunatic driver like Radon. Elsa quickly shakes her head and breathes in. She was forgetting about him and she was moving on. She believes she can do it. Same time she can’t. Just seeing him makes her heart stop beating.

“Why’s this always happening to me.?”

They walked to the bar and ordered shots because Elsa want to get drunk. Deep down she prays she doesn’t come across him. He’s always driving her crazy. They take their shots and a bottle of tequila as they walked back to their table.

“Do you know Colorado Carter owns this club ?” Alice slurs and chugs down her shots.

“For God’s sake, why didn’t you tell me ?”

“What? Scared to make out? Club sex is always remarkable.” Lucas mutters drinking his shots.

“Bunch of drunk friends,” Elsa growled.

“Don’t worry breathe. He barely comes here I think.”

“Olivia you think.” She scoffs and drinks two shots at once before standing up.

“Where are you going ?”

“Restroom, I’ll be back.” She flashed them a quick fake smile and walk in the direction of the restroom.

The loud music blares through the speakers as Elsa pushes past dancing bodies. She looked down at her ringing phone and it was Radon. He’s been calling since yesterday regardless of his texts. Elsa mutes the call and shut the restroom door. She washed her face and smoothen her hair. She did her business and step out.

“Cinderella…” at that moment Elsa stopped thinking. Her eyes lock with his and Elsa’s heartbeat is rapid. Again!

“Radon please not here.” Elsa walked past him but his grip pull her back to stand in front of him.

“Then come with me, to my penthouse.” He whispered.
