Chapter 4

You've got to be kidding me, they ordered more wine for their appetizers?" Serenity asked me with a look of shock on her face.

"Yes, and you know what happened too, this bimbo looking ass girl asked me if my hair was real, and then claim that I was mixed." I said, still feeling the fire from the disrespect.

Serenity's eyes grew wide knowing that I said something to the bimbo.

"Melina tell me you didn't..."

"Yes I did" sighing as I sat down on one of the leather couches in the hall outside the kitchen.

After Mr. Mafia Boss almost tempted me to move closer to him, I left the room very fast along with my dignity. I'm pretty sure that I will not be getting a tip, to honor my service or a good review. I had went to the kitchen to give the order, and found Serenity so now we're here.

"Um were they at least cute?" she asked.

My face flattered at the question.

"Really Ren? I just walked into a room full of men and women that could kill me, and that's the question you're asking me?" I finished. "But if you are wondering, most of them are fine as hell. If they weren't in the mafia, you know I would flirt but a bitch not tryna get killed so..."

One was most attractive than the other.

"Damn at least you got to see them." She smiled then pouted. She's so cute.

"By the way, there was this Asian guy, really attractive, you'd like him." I looked at her through the corner of my eyes, seeing her slightly smile. I don't know why, but this girl has a thing for Asians, it's cute in a weird way.

"Man whatever, I'm not risking my life for no dick, leave me alone woman." We laughed at her comment.

"Now I need to go find Ray for the wine addicts, and get some more wine, before they come looking for me and pull that trigger" I said looking up at the ceiling, leaving a laughing Serenity in tears in the hallway.

Even though we were an Italian restaurant, and we serve our costumers with wine every day, Ray insisted on keeping the wine collection in the back of his office.

Stopping in front of his office I knock twice, waiting to hear his voice telling me to come in. Just like before, he was sitting at his desk typing away on his computer.

"What can I do for you now Melina" he says turning to look at me.

"The men upstairs requested more wine." I say, ignoring the occasional looks he was giving my body.

"Did they tell you what brand they would like?" he asked standing up, taking out a silver key from his desk drawers.

He started walking towards the step before turning around, "Are you coming or are you just gonna stand there?"

"Umm I'm just gonna stand here and wait for you to get back " I said politely. I refuse to go anywhere dark with this man, knowing that he wants to have his way with me. Ray was Serenity's cousin, but even her warned me about him.

"What a pity" he says while shaking his head then disappearing into the dark room. Bitch.

.......

I waited for a good five minutes, before he could return with two huge wine bottles in his hands. They were bigger then the other wine bottles I've seen before. He held both bottles in each hand making his way towards me.

"This should satisfy them" he says now standing in front of me.

"This" he say lifting a black bottle with a red top "is Cabernet Franc. Dry. This wine is packed with grapes used in Bordeaux with cabernet sauvignon. It's a little less concentrated than other wines. But I don't need drunken men in this restaurant, especially not the mafia who can endanger others".

Little did he know about what I was dealing with upstairs.

"This one" he said, now holding up a black bottle, with a dark grey top "is Monpulciano, it's almost the same thing as Carbernet." I just stood there, wondering exactly why this man is telling me about wine. "Melina, I hope you remember the names. Okay bye."

He gave me both bottles and pushed me towards the door. They were so heavy, that I almost dropped Mr. MonteIDon'tGiveAF. Ren was still sitting on the couch, and I thought to ask her for a favor.

"Hey Ren, can you do me a quick favor?" I asked, giving her a bright smile.

"Yeah wassup?" she asked immediately.

"Can you please help me with these?" I gestured to the bottles.

"No prob, where to?" she to took one from my hand, and I instantly grasped the remaining bottle with my free hand.

"Upstairs" I said just above a whisper, she might back out if she heard me.

"Goddamnit Mel... you're lucky I love you." she started for the stairs, and I quickly smacked her ass.

"Wait, before we go up, we need to stop at the kitchen" I said.

"Okay let's go then."

Reaching the kitchen, I walked in. "How much longer for the food?!" I yelled more then asking the staff.

"It's done" I heard someone say, then the double doors opened revealing the steam and a rolling tray with many plates on it.

"Thank you Jake" I said. Jake was another black employee that worked at Pasfsao, other than Serenity and I. We was stuck together once we figured we were basically alone.

Taking my note pad out, I rechecked the list to see if I had everything, thank God everything was there. We put the bottles on the bottom shelf, then pushed the tray towards the elevator, "let's go"

When we got to the door, I knocked twice before we walked in. I looked over at Serenity, and she looked like she was going to piss herself. "Just stay calm, and don't make eye contact with them, ight?". She just nodded her head, but I knew damn well that she was going to make eye contact with that handsome Asian.

As we walked in to room, we noticed that there was music playing. I blinked my eyes twice, just to be sure of what was happening before me.

What the hell is going on in here. The Mafia? Dancing?.

This might as well been a club, other than a restaurant. They had shifted the table to one side of the room, that made it looked like a bar. With the table out of the way, the room seemed much bigger. Also the chandelier was now flashing blue and purple lights .

How the frack did they do that?

The music that playing was unrecognizable to me, but it sure made them dance carelessly. The ones that chose to drink more than others, were now stumbling around creating a mess, that I was going be responsible of.

We stood there, both astonished at what was happening before our eyes, I wasn't even gone for a good thirty minutes and this is the outcome.

We went further into the room looking for someone to serve, but disappointedly, there was none.

Deciding that the best thing to do, was to set the food and wine down on the table, and leave without being noticed.

Nicklas POV

While we waited on the fine ass waitress to get our order, Red and I decided to go deal with some business.

Red's my ride or die, we've been brothers since high school. I wasn't a fan of bullying, and that's what was being done to him. I couldn't just stand and watch him get bullied just because of his race.

We had so much in common, especially our hate for school, that's when we dropped out and started our Mafia. Red's my Second in Command, and he won't hesitate to fuck you up.

We left the room, and took the elevator to Ray's office. Red knocked in a pattern that only I knew about, and it signifies danger.

"Melina what the fu-" Ray yelled opening the door. He paused when he saw that it was us.

"Oh, Nick Red, wassup man?" He raised his hand to dap me up.

"Ray, Ray, Ray" I smirked at him. "I'm sure you have some time for me at least, instead of Melina".

He backed up so far in the room, till his legs hit the edge of his desk. He looked so pathetic.

"Sit..." I said and pointed to one of the chairs in front of the desk. He sat down and watched as Red slowly encircled him.

"You do know I'm not the one you're supposed to be watching, right?" Red said matter of factly, and I chuckled deeply. He still wasn't looking at me, so I took out my gun and pointed it at his head.

I cleared my throat, and he finally looked in my direction. His eyes went wide when he saw the gun, and I smirked in satisfaction.

"Nick man, put the g-"

"Where the fuck is my money Ray?" I cut him off, my voice echoing through the room. Also why the fuck does it smell like rice and crayons?

"Nick, please I'll give it to you, as soon as possible." He pleads, looking at the gun.

"Now, the last time you said that, was almost five months ago... That's a long time Ray" I raised the gun to hit him in the head.

"Wait!! Give me two more months, I promise that I'll get it to you, please."

"A promise is a comfort to a fool..." I looked at Red who was smiling goofily, "Ain't that right Mr. Park?"

"Damn straight..." Red nod his head and purses his lips. "It'll be a shame if my bestfriend don't get his property, ain't it?" He stooped down in front of Ray.

I made eye contact with him, to let him know I have an idea.

......

Melina POV

Ren and I went back downstairs, to tell our manager what was happening upstairs. I didn't even knock when I pushed the door open.

I swear today is one of The weirdest days ever.

Here we stood at the door, staring at the two men, holding a gun at Ray's head. All three heads turned to look at us, and Ray looked just as scared as we were.

"Oh, look at that, you fine ladies just made my job easier." The Italian man smirked at us.

"What are you doing with him?" I gestured towards Ray, my voice shaking.

"Well babygirl, let me introduce myself first. My name is Nicklas and he's Red" he said pointing at the other man, with his gun free hand. "Now you see, your little manager here owes me a lot..." his eyes dimmed, "and what other way to stall this little event, than to take something that he wants?" He smirked darkly a me.

"W-what does that even mean?" Serenity said lowly, reaching for my hand.

"No one was talking to you, shorty" Red pulled out his gun, and pointed it towards her. She slowly stepped behind me, looking scared as ever.

"He's not even that taller than me" Ren whispered, and it took everything in me not to laugh.

Nicklas pulled out his phone, typed something, then put the phone at his ear. He started talking Italian to the person on the other end, while Red let out a laugh.

Nicklas put the gun down from Ray, and started roaming the room. I now got to see him in full length. He was definitely taller than Red, but they were both muscular.

Suddenly Serenity and I felt a presence behind us, we turned around and saw two tall men in security uniforms.

"Took you guys long enough." Nicklas gave the two men a look of disgust. "Now Ray, I'm going to give you the choice to take one of the ladies with us."

Serenity's mouth fell open in disbelief, almost drooling. I looked at Ray, who seemed to be in deep thought.

Is he really thinking about this right now??

"Think faster, before I shoot you." Barked Red, his eyes looked dangerous.

"Both!" Ray blurted out.

"What?" Ren and I said in unison.

"Yes, both I don't care, as long as you give me the two more months, please." This is unbelievable. He literally sold us out.

Red clapped his hands slowly, throwing his head back, letting out a quick "Hah!"

"Ding ding ding, and we a winner or should I say winners." Nicklas said turning towards us.

"Come stand in front of us sweethearts" He said while Red stood next to him, smirking. Scared for our lives, Serenity and I didn't even move, we just stood where we were and started crying and begging.

"We're sorry please don't hurt us, just let us go and we won't come back here. Please" I begged.

"NOW WHY WOULD WE DO THAT? I SAID COME HERE NOW OR I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL KILL ALL THREE OF YOU!" He yelled. The two men pushed us towards Nicklas.

When we stood in front of them, he ran the point of his gun along my face. "It'll be fine, I promise." He smirked at us. "Take them!" He said to the two men.

It all happened so fast, I had a piece of cloth shoved into my mouth, and a bag over my head. Next thing I know, is that I'm being thrown over a person's shoulder.

Why me? Why us??
