Raphael POV
Olivia hired a cab to come and pick us up from the restaurant. Once we are inside the car Olivia places a blindfold on my eyes. I don’t like that. I don’t like that at all. I feel powerless and defenceless. I wiggle trying to reach for my gun and I take a deep breath when I feel it in the back of my pants.
Olivia’s hand rest on my knee and my hand fell on top of it. Not long after we got in the cab stops and Olivia thanks the driver.
We get out of the cab and Olivia guides me through a double door. Once Olivia takes the blind off of my eyes I see my family and friends in front of me.
A smile spreads across my face but at the same time, I shift my weight on my feet thinking how vulnerable we are at the moment. Everyone I love and need in my life in the same room.
This is the dream show for someone that wants to get to me. Olivia. My mother, Maria and Mike. Joseph, Gabriel and Tim.
I notice some of my Italian friends and Gabriel’s second in command are all here.
They all shout surprise all at the same time.
I look at Olivia that has a really big smile on her face.
“Are you happy?” - she asks
“What were you thinking?” - I ask her
“It’s your birthday and I thought you would like to have your family and friends with you”
“Olivia this is reckless. We are all sitting ducks for the french” - I tell her while I smile at my family.
“Can you please chill? I have everything under control”
“How?” - I ask her
“I made arrangements with Gabriel”
“What arrangements Olivia?”
“Your mother came with a false passport, so for all purposes, she is not here if they are keeping an eye on your mother movements”
“Go on” - I tell her while I get turned on that my future wife has gone all mafia dealing with everything.
“According to flight records, Joseph is in Spain and Tim in France”
“I see” - I tell her wrapping my arms around her waist pulling her close to me
“And for security, more than twenty men are surrounding the hotel plus two SUV with man on stand by close by.
“How did you get all of this sorted without me knowing?” - I ask before I kiss her deeply.
“With your cousin’s help” - she replies after kissing me and wrapping her arms around my neck.
“You are a resourceful little thing aren’t you?” - I ask her
“You can say that” - she says kissing me again and then we turn our attention to everyone that is now talking between themselves.
