Chapter 36: Love Someone - Lukas Graham (Part 3)

Cecilia's POV

"Here, here... be careful," Julia guides her to the fish pound. Cecilia dips her feet in the pool and Julia sits next to her.

"Did they eat people's feet?" Julia chuckles.

Julia rolled up her jeans and put her feet inside the pound. "No, they ate people's dead skin." Cecilia hummed. "You agree with my proposal?" Cecilia shook her head.

Cecilia leans her head on Julia's shoulder. "How you can put my expertise?" Julia took a deep breath and sighed. Julia cleared her throat.

"You right, it's a risk business, anyway." Julia said. Julia took a deep breath and play the music.

Julia's POV

Julia scratching her nose and sneezing. "Julia?" She did not answer Cecilia's answer.

"Achoo…" Julia scratching her watery eyes. Cecilia rubbed her back. Julia stands up and took a deep breath, "I'm so-" her words cut by a sneeze.

Julia picked her handkerchief and wiped her nose. Cecilia stands up and holds her left arm. She touched Julia's palm and face. "Are you okay!?" she asked. Julia did not answer her question.

Cecilia put her around her waist. "T-tell me," Julia looks at her. She wiped her hands and took a deep breath.

"I'll be fine," she feels itchy inside her throat, "I just need rest," Julia unsure about this. She has dusk allergic and somehow it triggers her. Julia clears her throat. A maid tapped her shoulder, and she gave her sign to follow her. Julia nods and lets go of her.

Cecilia furrowed her brows. "Wh-where do you want to go?" Julia wiped her nose.

"I wanted to meet a guest. Do you want to follow me?" Julia asked her. To Julia's surprise, Cecilia nods. She chuckles, but Cecilia stared looks at her with a straight face.

She grip her white cane and slapped her shoulder. "It's because you were sick!" Julia grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. She can't resist her demands, but her safety it's her priority. Julia embracing her wife one more time and kissed her cheek.

"After this meeting, I'm fully yours," she said as she kissed her fingers. Cecilia let her wife go to meet her 'client.' Inside of her, she wants to meet them, but Julia prohibited because her safety was in danger. Cecilia holds her hoodie and embraces her tight.

The worlds already knows that she married to her, but inside her feeling, there's something more why Julia so adamant. She wants to ask about the real reason behind that. Speaking of the witch, she took a deep breath as she saw Camelia approached her. She stares at her maid. "Next time, don't let her step a foot inside this mansion, or else," Cecilia punched her back.

"Don't do that!" Julia ignores her.

Camelia, walking towards the couple with an invitation in her hand. "Julia," Julia took a deep breath. Camelia gave her the invitation, but she refused to pick.

Julia wants to talk, but she sneezes again. This time, she couldn't stop her sneeze. Her knee week and both of women in front of her, look at her. Julia lay on the side of the pound and groan. She blinked because her eyes were wet again, her throat and her nose itchy. She feels an icy wind blow to her body and cold sweat come out from all over her skins.

"Achoo!" Julia wiped her nose.

Cecilia's mouth stretched as she heard her wife couldn't stop to sneezing. "A-are you need a warm tea?" Cecilia asked. Julia wiped her nose with her handkerchief and took a deep breath.

"Yes, please," she said, then she stood up. She clench her fist and took a deep breath. "We are not more than a friend, Camelia," Julia said. She approached her and picked the invitation. "I heard your dad recruit Rico DiNozzo to your clan?" Julia wiped her nose.

"Yes, how do you…" Camelia groans.

"One of your dad's henchmen walked to my territory, and he started a commotion." Camelia clenches her fist. Julia looks at her behavior. "Or it's your plan to spy on me?" She slapped Julia for an unknown reason.

"Why you choose that bitch!? Why her!?" Julia clenches her fist. She puffing her chest, and her skin began to red. Julia choked on her. Camelia struggle and she gasping for the air.

"Julia…" Julia ignores her wife. Cecilia kicked her knee, and she let go of her chocked.

Camelia, coughing and takes a breath. "You called my wife bitch again. I will kill you next time." Julia whispering to her ears. Camelia widens her eyes and trembling. Julia stood up and her knee was shaky. She sneezes again.

"Matt-" She couldn't finish her words. Cecilia sighed.

"Matthew, Paulo, or anyone else around!?" she called, but no one shows up. Julia growled as she wiped her nose. She cleared her throat because her sound began to hoarse.

Julia holds Cecilia's hand, and she looks at Paulo approaching them with her henchmen on his tail. "Can you…" Cecilia slapped her head, and she heard her wife giggles.

Cecilia's POV

Cecilia rolled her eyes and sighed. "Can you escort Ms. Mazetti out?" Julia didn't want she lets go so easily.

Paulo's henchmen dragged Camelia to the front gate, and now she's alone with her barbaric wife. Julia tries to escape, but she grips her hoodie. "Umm… I want to go to the toilet." Cecilia let go of her and she ran.

"Are you okay, ma'am?" Cecilia nods. Paulo guides her to the beach seat on the side of the pool and helps her sit. "Do you need anything else?" Cecilia shook her head.

"Can you tell me what's wrong between Salvatore and the Mazetti clan, Paulo?" Paulo gulped.

"I-it's confidential, ma'am. Only consigned and Don, who knows. We capos only do their dirty work." Paulo said, he standing on the back of Cecilia's chair until Julia shows up with a bunch of tissue in her hand. She wipes her nose and sat next to Cecilia.

"Paulo, you can have your vacation for 5 days, and don't forget to recruit another soldier silently," Cecilia said. Julia furrowed her brow at her wife. Paulo bows before leaving and he jogs to the lobby with a big smile on his face. Julia closed her eyes and exhale.

She tries to enjoy the warm sun shining on her face. Cecilia, hold her hand and pokes her. "Can you tell me what's wrong with the Mazetti clan?" Julia sighed.

She wipes her sweat and sighed. "Salvatore, DiNozzo, and Mazetti are the top 3 mafia in New York, and they know Salvatore was number one, but they have a different tactic to get rid of my family." Julia straightened her body. "DiNozzo's tactic is simple," Julia wiped her nose, while she cleared her throat, "smash them all." Cecilia pulled her chair closer.

"What about the Mazetti family?" Cecilia asked.

"I don't know that you are strong enough to drag my 'body,'" she slapped her shoulder. Julia chuckles and stroke her hair, "Mazetti tried to engage his daughter so they are also in the part of Salvatore." Cecilia pulled her closer, but Julia won't budge.

"I'm sick, and I don't-" Julia covered her nose with tissue and sneeze. "I don't want you to get sick." Cecilia can feel her skin wet and cold.

Cecilia ignores her and lies on her chest. "Wh-what about DiNozzo clan now? Did you hear any of them survive?" Julia nods.

"I killed them all except Rico's mother and himself," Julia cleared her throat, "his father kidnap my uncle and they killed his family," Julia wiped her nose.

She keeps her words. Cecilia closed her eyes and they enjoy the sun together.

Julia's POV

Julia smiled and stroke he hair and kissed her forehead. "Matthew!?" Matthew's henchmen bring her a brown envelope and she smiles. "I don't want to get disturbed." Julia was wearing her sunglasses and closed her eyes.
