Claimed By The Mafia Don (Ariella and Asher) novel Chapter 162

Alan grinned. "You called me Romeo? I think I’m not that far off."

Maria sighed and turned to me. "Are we calling the police or not?"

"It’s fine, Maria," I said. "This is Dana’s brother. I don’t think you two have met yet but he is....."

"We have actually," Maria cut in. "Yesterday, remember? When you were busy ogling him?"

"She was ogling me?" Alan asked, clearly amused.

"Shut it," Maria snapped. "If you’re not taking him to the police, I’m going back to bed."

And with that, she disappeared into her room, muttering to herself.

Alan and I stood there in the hallway, staring at each other.

"I am so fucking sorry," he whispered.

"It’s okay," I whispered back. "But what were you doing? Climbing into her window?"

"Well," he said, sheepishly, "I kind of asked Dana where your room was in the house. She didn’t want to tell me, so I just thought I’d let luck decide. And… I think I was unlucky with this one."

Just then, his phone rang. He pulled it out, answered it quickly. "I’m on my way. I’m coming out right now." He hung up and slipped it back into his pocket.

"There’s a car waiting for me outside. I have to go now. But what I really wanted to say was..." He paused. "If I come back, it might not be next week, or even this month but would you go on a date with me?"

"What?" I blinked.

"I’m asking you to go on a date with me."

"I don’t think that’s a very good idea."

"Please," he said. "It’s only one date. If it doesn’t work, that’s fine. Just… don’t kill my ego, dear. Please. I know you’re very beautiful and if you don’t already have a boyfriend, you’re going to get one soon. So I’m just… putting my place in line, you know?"

I hesitated.

"Just promise you’ll go on a date with me when I come back."

"I really don’t know if that's q good idea."

"Please. I won’t leave if you don’t say yes."

"Is that a threat, mister?" I teased.

"I will go on my knees right now," he said seriously.

"Okay. Here’s my answer," I said at last. "Maybe."

"So maybe you will go on a date with me?"

"Yes."
