I go down to the others and I give Alessandro the suit jacket. "Yours is all covered in blood and you can go to dinner covered in blood can you?" I say to Alessandro. "Oh thank you" He says. I grab Elijah's hand and we all go into the elevator.

"Oh I guess I forgot to mention that Elijah is my boyfriend. They all look at Elijah with stearn eyes.

We split into two cars. Me, Elijah and my father in one car and my brothers in the other car. we go into a michelin star restaurant.

My father and brother assume we will be going in the que but I just signal them to come and walk up to the security and tell them a secret password and we're let in immediately.

They looked confused so I said "I killed someone for them. This is their way of keeping my mouth shut." . "By letting you eat whenever you want to?" my father asks. I nodded and we made our way to our table. The serverer took our coats as we sat down at our table.

"Alright, I want to ask you guys some questions if that's fine with you." I said. "Yeah, ask away". They all looked at me with big eyes. "Well, my first question is, what do you guys do for a living?" . They sat in silence as my father opened his mouth to say "Well.. we can't tell you in front of him." My dad signaled to Elijah. Elijah just sat in silence while looking at the menu. "He's my boyfriend. You should be able to tell him as well." I said. " Alright I'm the leader of the Italian mafia".

Stefano said. Elijah placed down his menu and proceeded to say "You're the don of the italian mafia? That must mean Val is..". "Yes," Stefano said. "That's great," Elijah blurted out. "Why is that great?" My father asked.

"My family is in the same line of work.". "How so?" my father asked. " My father is the don of the american mafia". Father and my brothers looked at him and then me. I nodded to reassure them it was true.

We ordered our food and while waiting they bonded. It's awful to watch. I'm pretty sure Elijah is closer to my family then I am. Maybe it's a good thing.

Finally the food was here. I chugged my wine and asked for another glass, because you definitely have to be drunk to listen to what they are talking about. I'm pretty sure they were discussing illegal weapon trading routes. But you can't really be sure, they may be talking about how cute puppies are, you never know.

After eating I paid the bill and we went out. The alcohol definitely numbed my shoulder, I couldn't feel it. We dropped my father and brothers off at their hotel and Elijah drove me to my penthouse. I was about to get out when he asked if he could sleep at her place.
