CHAPTER 24

Azrael's pov

Today has been so hectic in the mafia warehouse. Some russian mafia members have been captured by our mafia. Apparently they have been troubling De lucas a lot nowadays. 

Mr Leonardo and dad have been working for hours, i need to reduce some stress and for that i have to go to bar and drink till i pass out, which by the way is not very easy. 

And top of that today we have dinner with De lucas. 

Way to go to reduce my stress. 

As soon as i entered home, maids were rushing here and there and Alexwas playing with broken vase. 

He is an idiot kid! Who plays with an broken vase? 

"Alex what the hell are you trying to do" i went towards him And yelled

"Speak slow uncle ray or mother will kill me! Today i unfortunately broke two vases with the new toy car you got for me" Alex explained smoothly. That kid will be death of me. 

"Maids clean this and you Mr come with me" i massaged my head and took alex in my arms . 

"Alex why don't you play with your car outside huh?" 

"Its just that i get bored playing alone. My friends are living so far away from our home and no one allows me to go to playdates" 

I get it what he is trying to say, all these mafia things are disturbing alex he is a child and he doesn't deserve this. 

My poor nephew 

"Its okay i will see this okay?" I smiled

"I am gonna cry, uncle and nephew times are best! But seriously alex second time today" 

"Sorry mom i promise I won't do that again . Is klara gonna come today too ray ray" my eyes got widened at his question. This devil likes to play with klara and he just met her one time. 

"Yes azrael is klara gonna come" Now Violet you too! No doubt these both are mother and son . 

"Of course she is going to come, her whole family is coming" i shrugged 

"Are you eager to see her?" Violet wriggled her eyebrows. Mom and Violet are up to something. These ladies.

Before i could reply my mom came and saved me from embarrassment. 

"You three don't you guys have to get ready?" My very angry mother said, and believe me you don't want to see her angry side. I the most ruthless, scary and heartless person is only scared of my mother. 

We three muttered quite sorry and left for getting ready. Ryan and dad came home early so i think so they both are already ready. 

Today I decided to wear a grey-cream coat, with black shirt , black pants and black loafers. I was looking quite good. 

(Um remind me again Azrael why are you trying to look good? 

Am I ? I don't think so. 

Admit it that you like klara 

Nope no never, we both aren't even friends subconscious 

Well that's totally not okay. )

Honestly I just want to be friends with klara, she is very carefree and charming. She loves her family, respects strangers and does everything for her friends. 

That time in school when she showed lara her position i felt like she is a baddie. Totally De luca ! 

"Master sir and mam are calling you, the guests have already arrived and you are late" Our head maid said. Mom is totally gonna give me lecture about being late. 

"I am coming" i hurriedly went to living room and saw De lucas present. And there she was looking so cute, she always wear decent clothes. I wonder how will she look in swim suit? 

"Uncle ray" alex yelled. Everyones head turned towards my direction. 

"Sorry he was late i gave him some work" my mother apologised on my behaviour because she knows no way in hell i am going to apologise. 

But yeah i did apologised to klara when i 'accidentally' killed her hamster. 

"Klara and uncle ray come on lets go and play in my toy room" Alex pleaded. 

"Alex no there are guests right now" Violet said in threatening way

"Its fine Violet let alex play with these both , till then we ladies will talk" Klara's mother and my mother exchanged a very very very weird look and dragged everyone out of living room. 

Great me klara and alex playing YAY! 

Klara's pov 

My evil mother! And dad why didn't you stopped her? Don't judge me i will happily play with alex but why THIS FREAKINGLY HANDSOME AZRAEL has to be there. Yupp totally not gonna lie he is looking handsome. 

"Come on you turtles lets go" alex took both mine and Azrael's hand and took us to god knows where. 

"Alex you have such an amazing playroom" i yelled 

"Thank you so much flora" alex said

"Why are you calling me flora?" I asked

"Its you new name just like uncle ray ray's" I laughed listening Azrael's name. 

"Hello ray ray" i teased Azrael 

"Hello flora" he retorted 

ANNOYING HOT JERK. 

Alex first showed me his toy trains, then planes then cars and god knows what. He is so cute and he reminds me the little girl from park. 

"Uncle ray ray can i ask you a question?" Alex said

"Sure, go ahead bud" Azrael ruffled his hair. 

Why can't Azrael be like this with me? So happy and cheerful, outside he is very rude, cold and the boy who doesn't give a shit about anyone but i know he is having his demons to fight. He is like a puzzle , and I don't know if i ever will solve it. 

"Are you and flora girlfriend and boyfriend" What the hell alex 

I choked on my spit and coughed. Is this kid really five or six?

"How old are you alex?" I asked

"I am five years old" he said showing his four fingers. 

"And who taught you these words alex" Azrael asked clearly looking towards my reaction for 'being us in relationship' like in hell we are gonna date. 

"I heard in school. You still didn't replied my question" alex pouted .

This kid. I decided to divert my mind so i held a soft surface i don't know what it is, I pretended that i was reading a story book. 

"No alex we are just friends and we are not dating" Azrael replied 

Since when did we became friends? 

"But friends don't hold each other hands" i looked at alex what is he trying to say? 

"What?" I asked 

"See you both are holding hands" i looked towards azrael and saw that soft surface was HIS BLOODY HAND. 

I quickly let go of his hand, my face is full of embarrassment and i bet i am looking like an cherry tomato. 

"Alex klara and Azrael come downstairs" ryan, Azrael's brother came and said. 

"Yeah ryan we are coming , take alex with you" Azrael said. Wait why are we not going? Ryan looked doubtful but none the less took alex and went. 

No words were exchanged, Azrael just kept on looking at me. 

I decided to break the silence 

"Since when did we became friends?" I asked 

"Since I decided" he shrugged 

"Wow. Bye" not wanting to listen to his bullshit i was about to leave when he held my arm. 

"Where are you going kitten? Now do you want to be my friend" he said. We both were so close to each other that i could see his grey-blue eyes. His face was sculpted by greek god, he has sharp jawline , a perfect nose and so good looking hair. I didn't even realised i was checking him out until he smirked. 

"Take a picture it will last longer" 

"You wish. Yes i will be your friend" i smiled 

"Thank you, now come on lets go" 

I don't know why but i smiling like a crazy girl. 

We both headed downstairs and our family were already at dinning room , we both took our seat and ate. 

I noticed that Azrael kept on taking glances at me? 

And why too i am taking glances at him? 

Oh god what i am doing?
