Smitten: A Mafia Romance — Chapter 39

Anne was finally back from the unknown island she went to and the girls had gone to pick her up. It wasn't hard spotting her in the crowd, her tallness giving her away.

"Bitches!" Anne screamed as she sighted her two best friends running her way.

All three girls were soon engulfed in a hug.

"Get off me! Get off me!" She screamed fake choking admist Daniella and Korina's screams of excitement. They didn't heed, they only hugged her tighter.

"Wanna kill me?" She gasped.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Korina said, "You went on a vacation without your best girls, I mean come on."

"It wasn't a vacation." Anne said defending herself, they were all disentangled now, "It was work."

"Work you say?" Daniella asked with raised brows, "You go to a beautiful island, do photoshoots, get tanned, party, spend time on the beach and MEET HOT MEN!" Daniella emphasized the last part and Korina rolled her eyes, "You really have the nerve to call to that work."

"Well..."

"Shut up!" Daniella and Korina squealed at her.

"Let me explain." She said.

"Okay." Both girls turned facing her squarely.

"Well, you see..."

"You are living the hakunamatata life sister, just shut the hell up." Anne was glad Korina had spoken cause she had no idea how to explain herself or what to say.

"Yea, whatever." She said, "Let's go get some real American food, I am starving."

Daniella's car was in open roof mode, enabling the other drivers stuck in traffic with them to hear the music blaring from the speakers.

Anne stood on the back seats with her shoes off swaying crazily to the music. Daniella sang the lyrics out loudly with Korina bobbing her head up and down. They attracted a lot of stares.

"All the single ladies, all the single ladies." Daniella sang screaming the words.

"You know you shouldn't be singing this song." Korina yelled over the noise, "You ain't a single ass lady."

Anne laughed at Korina's statement still dancing.

"Fuck you Korina!" She flipped her off and put the car in motion, the lights were green, it was time to move now.

"You do not have to be single to sing this song." Daniella said taking a turn, Anne sat down and was putting on her shoes.

"But the song clearly said, all the single ladies." Anne said, "It's for single ladies only."

Korina and Anne high fived as they saw Daniella getting livid.

"I will throw y'all out of my car." Daniella threatened.

"Waooh, slow down." Korina said to her as she and Anne laughed at her expense.

They got to the restaurant in the nick of time and rushed in, they really were hungry.

The wait at the airport and all the dancing in the car had somehow drained their energy.

Anne's flight was tiring too, she looked like she could pass out anytime soon.

Korina's stomach even growled as they made their orders causing the waiter who attended to them to laugh.

The food came quickly and it looked more appetizing to them as they were visibly famished, they gobbled it down while paying rapt attention to Anne as they talked about her time on the island.

"I even almost got bitten by a water snake." Korina's eyes widened hearing Anne's words, "wow, really?" She asked slowly chewing on her burger.

"Yes, of course but luckily, I was saved tho." Anne beamed, swirling the straw in her drink.

She looked at her friends and sighed, she had really missed them a lot.

"Oh don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me." Daniella squealed, "Let me guess mhmm, by the hot native you met, the one you couldn't stop rambling about." She winked.

"Of course, it's him." She nodded at Daniella, "And that's how we met."

"So, did y'all fuck?" Daniella asked a little too loud and Korina choked on her drink.

"Get a fucking mouth filter." Korina hit her best friend's back and went back munching on her burger.

"Hey, leave me alone." Daniella glared at her cousin before sticking a French fry in her mouth, "So did you do it?" She went back to Anne who was watching them both with an amused look on her face.

"Yes, we did." Anne answered.

"How was it?" Daniella asked, excitement gushing through her, "Was he the vanilla type or the freaky type and was he big?"

"Daniella, that isn't your business." Korina chided.

"Oh shut up, she got some dick and you are still rusty down there."

Korina gave her the middle finger and faced her food.

"Yea, K babe is right Dan, you shouldn't know the details of my sex life." Anne said with wink.

"Yen, yen, yen." Daniella mimicked them both and snorted.

They all got silent and enjoyed the rest of their meal. After the meal they went to the shopping mall. Daniella had to pick new underwear and she insisted they tag along.

The girls finished up at the mall towards evening. They said their goodbyes and headed out to their various homes.

Korina hummed happily to the tune of Celine Dion's Alive as she walked out of the elevator, she made sure no one was in sight to see her as she mildly danced humming down the hallway towards her apartment.

She fished out her keys and moved to open the door when are leg hit something, she looked down to find two boxes carefully placed on her doormat.

She reached down and picked up the first white one.

Korina opened the box and the aroma of freshly baked glazed doughnuts hit her notrils. She reached into the box immediately and grabbed one covered with chocolate glazing.

"Hmm...mmmm...mmmm." She mumbled shaking her head, savoring the taste as it hit her taste buds, the aroma still pleasing to her, "This is good, wow." She sighed, "Real good damn."

You know not who sent it, but yet here you are muching away like a gluttonous hawk, her subconscious snorted.

She knocked herself mentally and dropped the box of doughnuts but not after stuffing her mouth with another one.

She reached down and grabbed the other box, opening it to find a pair of silver colored shoes.

The same shoes she had seen on Tv and had told Daniella that she wanted them but they were way too expensive.

The heels were Louis vuitton and she had badly wished she could them them for herself then.

She brought one of the shoes out and turned it over to see it was her size.

Korina grabbed the note attached to the side of the box and opened it.

The all too familiar cursive handwriting graced her sight.

Miss me?
