Chapter 37: Love Someone - Lukas Graham (Part 4)

Julia's POV

There are days - Lukas Graham

Julia blinked her eyes several times and stretching her muscle. She picked her phone and straightened her body. She looks at Cecilia, who was sleeping peacefully on her chest. Julia stroke her hair and put her hand around her waist.

I wake up and I pinch myself

You're with me, not someone else - Lukas Graham

Julia rubbed her cheek. "You beautiful, Cecilia." She said in a low voice. Julia might be a mafioso. A ruthless Lady Salvatore, but she's a human. She fell in love with a blind fortuneteller that she met several months ago at a gas station.

She wants to protect her, but is it real? She slapped her face and rubs it. "Are you real, Cecilia?" Julia embrace her wife and pondered.

She wants quit to this criminal rings, but it's hard. She's the leader. Julia can't cut her ties to her family. Julia took a deep breath and exhale as she wiped her nose and stretching her teary eyes.

"Are you alright?" Cecilia blinked her eyes several times and stretching her body, then lean on her head on Julia's arm.

"I'm good," Julia said.

Cecilia's POV

Cecilia was not sure if her wife was telling the truth. She embracing Julia and closed her eyes. "I feel something…" Julia cupped her face.

"Okay, I feel uneasy because I thought what I have it's a dream." Cecilia furrowed her brow. Julia holds her hand. "I never feel so comfortable since…" Cecilia rubbed her arm.

"Take it easy, Julia." Cecilia said. Cecilia lean her head on her shoulder and closed her eyes. "I feel that too…" Julia wiped her sweat while she was holding her hand.

Julia cleared her throat and a rumble sound heard from Julia's stomach. They laughed, then smiles to each other. "You want to go there? Lunch date?" Cecilia shook her head.

"You were sick." Cecilia helped her to wipe her sweat from her hand. "I don't want you to get sick, Julia. What caused you to be like this?" Julia puts tissue on her near her hand and took a deep breath.

"I…" Julia scratches her chin. "I can't sleep and decide to… take a long shower at midnight, and I…" Cecilia embracing her.

She knows it's because of her. Cecilia feels responsibility for this. "I-is it my fault?" Julia chuckles and shook her head.

Julia's POV

Julia pulled her closer and embrace her. "Everything we did the past few months... I don't push or forced you. I also need time to make sure everything will be fine," Julia stroked her hair. "You know…" Julia's words stopped because one of her henchmen walked approaching her.

"Jose wants to meet you. He made a commotion at your office." She sighed. Julia looks at her wife and stared her.

"Be careful," Julia let go of her embrace and followed her henchmen. She wants to spending time with her wife since it's their honeymoon and discussing a business. Julia wants stopped the time.

"I know what you're thinking, Don." He took a glance at her. "I feel it too. When Paulo called me while I was having fun with my girlfriend. It feels like I want to kill him." Julia chuckles.

"You will become a traitor if you did," Julia put her hand inside her pocket. Her enforcer was right. He wants to kill Jose, but she will trigger a gang war. Cartel was brutal, and she will lose all of her dignity if she lost from a small cartel. Julia took a deep breath and exhale.

Julia patted his shoulder, and she took a deep breath. "How long you work for the Salvatore family?" The boy in front of her stopped and looked at her.

"A year," he said. He opens the door for his Don and she smiled at him.

"I will give you a rise if you promise wants do anything for Salvatore and loyal, comprende?" He nods. Julia enters her Nonno's room, and she saw Jose look at the window near her desk. Julia closed the door and approaching her associate.

She looks at the bloodstain and sighed. "I want you to explain what happened in the motel," Julia opened the drawer and she take out her Nonno's favorite whisky. "I heard you quit drinking, Julia." Julia ignores Jose and pours the whisky into the empty whisky glass.

Julia had him a glass of whisky for him. "It's not for me, but for my guest." Jose picked the glass and Julia lean her back on the window.

"You better explain before I change my mind," Julia crossed her arm on her chest.

"He pointed at me for unknown reason," she puts her hand inside her hoodie pocket. Julia tries her best to not killed him inside her Nonno's office. "He came to me first, Jose. I disarm him on the behalf of self defense." Julia looks at the window and she saw Cecilia dipping her feet on the fish pound. She clenching her fist.

Jose put the glass upside - down and took a deep breath. "I thought it was you," Julia shook her head. She doesn't want everything happened inside her Nonno's office ever again. She sneeze and Jose smirked at her.

"God bless you," he left Julia inside her Nonno's office. As Jose already left, Julia sat on the chair and looks at the upside-down glass and pondered.

"Enzo!" Her capos comes in and he put his machine gun aside. Julia opened the drawer and picked her Nonno's gun. "Can you repair this?" Enzo raised his eyebrow.

"Are you…" Julia shook her head, and she stood up.

"I want to take over Salvatore's completely," she said, while she was walking. Enzo and Matthew follow behind her. "I want to inform this to my wife, but can both of you gather an intel about Carlos's shipment? I feel something off when I met with him," she said.

Matthew and Enzo nods. "We tried as best as we can," Enzo said. Julia nods and jogs to the backyard.

Cecilia's POV

Cecilia took a deep breath and she waiting for her wife to come down. "Hey fishes! Where were she?" She hugs her knees and imagining scenery in front of her. Cecilia didn't want to be without her. She took a deep breath and sighed.

Inside her deep heart, she wants Julia, but her memories remind her about Chester, made her feel uncomfortable when she is around her sometimes. Is that a risk to being of mafia's wife? Cecilia took a deep breath and exhale. She wants Julia to quit, but she made a promise to protect her family.

She wants to leave her, but will she be happy? She comes so far to get to know her wife, and she can't let anyone down. Including Marco. Why was Marco doing this to her and Julia!? She sighed.

"Cecilia? What's wrong?" Cecilia shook her head and tried to get rid of her negative thinking. Mariano's condition getting better after Julia's men kidnapped the doctor to treat Mariano.

"I don't know, ma. This whole…" Julia's ma hugged and stroked her in-law-daughter. Julia hasn't apologized yet to her mom because of her schedule was 'full' or her ego was too big. Julia's ma sighed.

"At first, it's difficult to handle her anger, Cecilia." Julia's ma dips her feet into the pond, "she's a type of person who will put her family's safety first, Cecilia." Cecilia bites her lips. When Carlos barge into their motel, she hiding her inside the closet to protect her. Why she's not sure to open her heart for Julia? Does she have another reason not to believe her? Or is it an impact of the trauma she had?

No one knows except Cecilia. Julia tries her best as a person who she loved, not as a monster that could kill people in the second. What about her ma said was right. She always prioritizes her safety.

"If they are in love with someone, they will open their heart, Cecilia. You should open your heart to her," Cecilia did not respond to Julia's ma. "Make a room for someone who was trying her best," she said.

Julia approaching them with a pizza in her hands, "ma, I want to… apologized about what happened at the hospital." Julia put the boxes of pizza next to her ma.

"It's fine, Julia. You right, I should spend more time with Mariano rather than my pervert manager," Julia relief and she walked to the Cecilia and piggy back her wife.
