Filed to story: Turn The Mafia’s Virgin Wife On
“Of course not. I’m too busy with university work and just taking care of grandmother. I don’t have time for anything like dating…” I replied firmly.
“Aha…” my friends said in unison.
I sensed something weird as I looked at my friend’s faces. Their eyes were wide and seemed to be focused somewhere else. Is there something strange behind me?
Slowly, I turned around…
“May I join you ladies? My apologies that I’m a little late…”
A voice that had gotten unfortunately familiar as of late cut through our conversation. It was my turn to open my eyes wide in shock.
Sebastian…why is he here?!
“Why…why are you here?” I asked in shock as I jumped out of my seat.
Sebastian was standing there right behind me with his most charming smile on his face. Why is he here? How did he get here?
Sebastian just stood next to me and smiled brightly as he brought an arm up and placed it over my shoulders, hugging me to his side. My whole body froze.
“Oh…who’s this?” one of my girl friends asked with clear interest.
“He’s so hot…he’s so hot…” another one whispered to the girl next to her.
“Who is he, Grace?” Jenny asked as she stared at me.
Why did he have to turn up here? I just told these girls that I was completely single and had no time for dating. This is so misleading…
“Umm…this is…” I said as I struggled to come up with something that would be believable.
Now what? Do I tell them that he is my friend? My distant cousin…?
“I’m Grace’s boyfriend. My name is Sebastian,” Sebastian said loudly and clearly as he pulled me roughly against him. I felt both of his arms around my neck as he hugged me from behind and rested his chin on my head.
Oh…shit.
“Wow! Really?” Jenny exclaimed excitedly while the other girls had similar reactions of shock.
“Grace…you never told us that you had a boyfriend?” a girl said as she narrowed her eyes at me.
Well, that’s only because I didn’t have one. I mean, I still don’t have one.
I got her hidden message immediately. They’re going to grill me for not telling them and get me to tell them all the details about this later. Unfortunately, I couldn’t tell them anything about the debt, the contract, or the mafia.
I glanced at Sebastian and cursed him internally. While I was worried about being discreet, this guy was so used to attracting attention.
“Oh, sorry about this. I didn’t know that you were bringing a plus one. Seriously, you should have told me so that I can book another seat,” Jenny quickly said politely after recovering from her initial shock at Sebastian’s sudden appearance.
“That’s ok. I’ll bring a chair over,” Sebastian said as he smiled his angelic smile at my friend.
I sighed softly to myself as I watched a bright red blush take over my friend’s face at the sight of Sebastian’s mesmerizing smile. Another victim down. I guess this was why they say the devil is bewitching.
I sat back down in my seat as I tried to figure out how to deal with Sebastian. He’s not going to say anything weird that will expose our twisted contract, right? I glanced over at Sebastian who was bringing a chair over to our table.
This is a disaster. This is a disaster. This is a disaster. These words kept on replaying in my head.
Sebastian brought a chair over and sat down next to me at the table. My friends couldn’t help but stare at Sebastian and I guess that I could understand their reaction. Sebastian and his looks truly stood out from the crowd.
“So…Grace, why don’t you tell us more about your boyfriend?” my friend asked.
“Umm…actually, he’s not really…” I began denying.
“Oh, there’s no need to be shy!” my girl friend said excitedly.
“Grace’s pretty shy about telling people about us. We just started dating a few weeks ago,” Sebastian said smoothly.
“Oh wow. So…how did you guys meet?” my friend asked eagerly.
Here comes the classic question. I can’t believe we’re going through this. What am I supposed to say? That we met because the head of the Soprano mafia gang forced me to live with his son for 30 days to settle a huge debt?
“Umm…we….” I struggled to answer.
“We met at a church. After that we started talking and went on dates,” Sebastian replied, flawlessly.
I guess, we did meet at a church. I would never forget that disastrous wedding ceremony.
“A church? I didn’t know that you were so religious…” Jenny said as she turned to look at me.
“What do you do, Sebastian? Are you working now or are you still studying?” my other friend asked.
Clearly, they were serious about getting to know everything about Sebastian. While they had their attention on Sebastian, my brain was busy trying to figure out how to excuse ourselves and get out of here as soon as possible.
“I work for my family’s business. It’s not very interesting though,” Sebastian said, sounding super humble.
