Alessandro's POV:

it had been a week since we came home from Italy. everything went smoothly in the mafia except we had some creep that worked for the French. i questioned him after beating him to an absolute pulp. apparently he was trying to watch every move that nicole made. disgusting freak.

i had nicole walk down to the basement and shoot him. of course i told her why she needed to do it. not that it really mattered she still would've anyways.

she shot the guy in the head with a straight face and gave the gun back to me and walked out of the room. god she was hot.

after a few days after that nothing much happened. nicole did remodel her bathroom and bedroom. it's darker than ever, but i guess that's what she likes.

over the past few days i've had this thought of nicole being one of the mafias assassins. granted she would be the only and first female because it's just men here. i didn't want her to feel weird about it or that she couldn't do it, because she could. she had amazing aim and was great with guns.

she would need some of the training but she will get that if she does agree to this.

i walked upstairs to her room and knocked on the door and opened the door. she was sitting on the bed. i sat next to her and pulled out my card handing it to her. she gave me a weird look

"go buy yourself some stuff, you deserve it. i also need to talk to you" i said

"um okay what is it?" she asked giving me a weird look

"i wanted your opinion on putting you as on of the assassins for the mafia" i said looking back at her

her eyes shot open and she blinked several times making sure she heard me right. she didn't respond for a minutes

"alessandro. love. darling. whatever i'm supposed to call you. what makes you think i'll be good at that? i don't even have half the skill that the assassins here. no way" she said looking at me as if i was dumb, it wasn't dumb it was a serious question

"well nicole, that's why they make thing this called training that you would have to do to earn some of that skill, i'm not going to just take you on a mission and say here shoot that guy while all of my other men are on his ass. no. never" i said looking at her like she was dumb. sometimes she really can be.

"i'll think about it. i don't have a answer right away" she said shrugging my shoulders

"okay well here's my card, take it go buy whatever. your car is in the garage and enzo will be going with you" i said putting my hair behind my ear

"okay. thank you" she said smiling back at me, her smile was beautiful i couldn't get enough of it

"be safe angel" i said to her, if anything happens to her i will kill the person that hurt her. i couldn't loose her. not now not ever

"i will" she said back

i nodded my head and bent down to kiss her forehead and walked out of the room. i couldn't get enough of her, she was everything i was just waiting for the right moment. i really hope she felt the same way.

i walked down to my office and had all of my men sitting there. they all stood up when i got there and then sat back down. the only one not there was enzo but he already knew about this.

"now, many of you know nicole. i have asked her if she would be interested in training to be one of our assassins, now this does not mean that you all will look at her differently. you still show her the same respect you do now. if any of you let something happen to her, you're dead, and i make that a promise." i said looking at all of them leaving back in my chair.

"women aren't supposed to be working in the mafia. it's only a male job, she wouldn't last a day in training" tony said smirking

"well you're right tony, but nicole has very good aim and a love for weapons. and i won't be saying anything when she put a billet between your eyes and you're bleeding out on the floor. do i make myself clear?" i said raising my voice just a little

after an hour or so of talking about her training and out stocks and left my men go making sure they knew everything i needed to say. they all left my office and i got out of my chair and went to pour a glass of whiskey.

someone tapped my on my shoulder and i turned around to see it was nicole. she had the same look on her face that she always had. not happy but not sad. just her normal self.

"here's your card" she said placing it into my hand.

"thank you" i said taking the card back and putting it in my pocket. she nodded her head and walked off, i followed behind her up the stairs and just watched her walk .

we got to her room and she walked in leaving the door open for me. she laid on the bed as i walked in, i shut the door before laying on the bed.

"tired?" she asked me brushing my hair to the side

"mhm hm" i groaned out

she laid down on my chest and we sat there in silence, she watched my chest go up and down until my breathing slowed down. we both fell asleep for about an hour until she woke up. i was playing with her hair. like i always do

i called my grandmothers restaurant and made a reservation at 8, nicole wanted to go to it so i thought tonight would be a goodnight to do that.

she finally woke up. "i made a reservation at 8, be ready by then. you don't have to wear a dress or anything. just something nice" i said still playing with her hair. i knew how much she hated them and how comfortable she was in them so i didn't make her wear one.

"okay" she said still trying to wake up. i moved her head from my chest while getting up. i didn't want to leave but i had too. enzo needed me downstairs and she needed to get ready.

i walked out of the room shutting the door behind me softly. i knew tonight was going to be good. j good feel it.
