Please baby? Just tonight?

Okay, So I hope this isn't horrible. I have a beta so hopefully there aren't a million grammer mistakes like before!

-------------------------------------

Cettina and Furio watched on in amazement at the three boys running around in circles. She couldn’t help but wonder where they got their energy from. They had been here for 6 days already. She looked over at Furio and smiled kissing him gently, calming him down slightly. She smiled at how he restrained himself. His eyes were narrowed down to slits and his lips were pursed. She could almost read his mind.

Furio shook his head. ‘Jesus fucking Christ I hate these kids…Just take a deep breath, don’t blow up, Cettina needs to be happy.’ Cettina pecked him on the lips and he relaxed slightly. He unclenched his teeth and got up stiffly and began walking away. Jake, Jack, and James followed him like they had been for the last three days. When he was out of sight of Cettina he turned to them and shook his head and told them as coldly as he could for them to leave him alone and go to their room. As he turned, he could see their pouting faces and smirked happily.

Relaxing against the couch Cettina shut her eyes for the first time in two days. The three Furio followers didn’t sleep, so neither did she. Cettina supposed she understood them since it was the first time they had been away from their mother since they were too small to remember, but still, a girl needs her beauty sleep. Right? Just as the thought entered her mind she heard six little free scamper into the room. Opening her blue eyes lazily she stared at them asking softly, “Why are you here sweeties? Where’s Uncle Furio?” The pouts on their faces told her all there was to be said and she slowly stood up stretching out her tense muscles. Looking at them she smiled.
“Well, what do you say to making some cookies, hm?” Grins immediately took hold of the boys’ faces and they ran to the kitchen. Sighing she followed them. She was stressed out. ’I don’t get how Casey does this all the time. I would be dying.’ Slipping into the kitchen she began telling and helping them on how to make it.

She could hear Furio speaking to the men in the other room and bowed her head trying to listen in. The boys were having a nap so it was fine they were here right now. Just as long as nothing happens she’s fine with anything. Furio and herself had talked about their last argument about his friends being here. As long as they stayed away from her and no one was being hurt in her house. She didn’t care…as far as Furio knew at least. Truthfully she hated it. She hated knowing they were talking about drugs, or hookers, or heaven forbid her and Furios sex life! Playing with her fingers she heard tidbits.

“…that can’t happen…”

“…impossible to…never...”

She rolled her eyes and got up from her laying position on the floor by the door of his study and walked away as quietly and quickly as possible. It would be horrible if she was caught listening in. She was just curious though! No harm in that right? Pffft! In some loony world. That was the first time Furio hit her. It was dreadful and made her nauseous, maybe from the fact he hit so hard, or maybe being he was disappointed in her. Either way it hurt her heart so much to know she had driven him to that amount of anger.

Walking into their room she pulled her purple cami off and undid her jeans sliding them off and walking to the dresser pulling out a white dress with red dots that ended at her knees and a pair of simple black heels.

She walked out just in time to see the other door beside their room open and three men come out, one of which was Furio. She smiled sweetly and turned away walking back to their room. Furio sighed and walked up to her slipping his arms around her waist and kissed her neck. “I love you baby girl.”

Leaning back against him she nibbled softly at his chin whispering, “I love you too.”

Furio smiled and kissed her hard on the lips before pulling away and saying good-bye to the men standing in the entrance hall.

Leaning her head against the frame of the door she sighed and walked all the way into the room slamming the door shut and climbing into their bed.

Twenty minutes later she could hear shouting from the other room. Cettina groans and gets up, wiping her eyes and looking in the mirror scrunching up her face at what she saw. Shrugging she walked out, down the hallway the yelling got louder and she could hear sobbing. Tucking her hair behind her ears she peaks her head around the wall into the living room to see Furio standing over Jack, his hand raised, James and Jake on the other side of the room their cheeks stained with tears.

Walking in quickly she grabs Furios wrist in her small hand shaking her head. “Furio Michael De Luca, lay one hand on these boys and I swear!” She could feel his gaze on her as she lets go and picks up Jack. Setting him on her hip she makes a face at Furio. One that promised they would be speaking later. Holding her hand out to the others they quickly walked over to her, James holding her dress in his small hand on her left, and Jake holding her right hand.

Bringing them back into the room they’ve been sleeping in, she she sets Jack on the bed and pulling the other two up with her she stroked Jacks hair for a bit, trying to calm the boys down before speaking with them.

A few minutes later, the sobs turned into sniffs and Cettina tried her best motherly smile. The kids immediately cuddled closer. Kissing each of their heads Cettina whispered lightly above them, “What happened in there sweeties?”

She heard a louder sniff come from Jack and he mumbled something against her stomach not wanting her to hear. He didn’t want her mad at him also. Picking him up, she set him back on her lap and said softly, “What love?”

Looking at her with wide eyes Jack rubbed his eyes before speaking in a tear-strained voice, “I called one man fat, and then Uncle Furio got mad…” Cettinas eyes widened and she kissed his temple lightly before setting him back on the bed. Shaking her head she spoke gently to him, “Its rude to say such things! Now you be good and don’t name call. Okay sweetie? I need to speak to Furio quickly, you guys stay in here and play.”

Stepping out of the room, she heard a loud crash come from his study and she walked slowly towards it, knocking lightly. When nothing came back she knocked louder. The door flew open and Furio looked ready to kill. Grasping her wrist he pulled her inside and slammed the door shut.

“One, you do not tell me what to do. Two, if I am working you never listen through the door. Do you understand me, girl?” Furios face was calm, his eyes blank, the only thing that proved he was angry was the smashed vase from Japan on the floor and the words ringing in Cettinas head.

Nodding Cettina moved back slowly. When he moved his hand she shut her eyes and flinched back by reflex. Furio sighed and dropped his hand releasing hers as well.

Slowly fluttering her eyes open she stared at him, blinking back her tears. When Furio was angry with her, she always felt five again, when her father used to send someone to tell her to come to his study in twenty minutes. Giving her enough time to think of what she did wrong, and what to say. Although everything she thought of always seemed to disappear when the time came.

She could remember it like yesterday…

Sitting in her room Cettina threw her doll away from her when she heard a knock at her door, getting up quickly a giant smile on her face she couldn’t wait to play with who ever was there. When she opened the door she stared up at Alfred her fathers butler, he corked was she thought was a smile and said in a heavy Italian accent, “Your father wants to speak to you in twenty minutes.”

He walked out shutting the door behind him, walking back over to her doll she sat down and fiddled with its moving arm. “What did I do Minnie?” She asked her invisible friend. Nodding she played with the doll a bit more, “I cant remember either. What have we done?”

Twenty Minutes later the little Cettina knocked gently on her fathers’ studies door. It was large with a brass handle. It was like all the others in the house, yet it still seemed different. She couldn’t hear a thing inside so she moved her ear closer before the door opened and her father stood before her.

He was a large man, at least to a five year old that’s terrified he was. Looking up at him through dark hair she tilted her head to the side innocently.

Tugging her inside he shut the door with a loud bang and walking back to his desk. Cettina stood still, fiddling with the front of her blue dress. Mr. Lombardi noticed he had left his youngest near the door.

Walking back he tugged at her wrist and sat down pulling her onto his lap. “Now Cettina, do you know why you’re here?” Asks her father, his voice enraged but his face calm. Shaking her head Cettina looked down.

Taking a deep breath in her father slapped her cheeks lightly. “Look at me, girl,” her father said. Looking up Cettinas blue eyes were filled with tears. “Now you’ve been troublesome. All week long. Ive told you and your siblings not to go downstairs when I’m working. I am your father and I will have respect. When I ask things of you, you will do them, do you understand me girl?”

Looking at Furio she walked closer and pulled him to her, mumbling against his lips before kissing him, “I’m sorry love.”

Nodding, he inclined his head towards the door, signaling that it was time for her to go. Walking by him quickly she shut the door and peeked into the doors room of the boys, they were playing around the room and she smiled, closing the door quietly as she left once more.

Going back into Furios and hers bedroom she laid on the bed and shut her eyes.

Back in Furios office he was leaning against his desk his teeth clenched taking deep breaths through his nose. Things never changed. Cettina was too nosy for her own good and someday the men will notice. Then what would he say? Running a hand down his face he sat back down on the black chair and continued to research his new job.

The young blond was short and would be simple enough to nab. She worked a job at night and walked all the way home which was a good four blocks. The idiot was just asking for herself to be taken. Julia Mortel. He had no idea why he was doing this job, but he would find out.

Looking through her home life he came to understand she lived with her boyfriend Mikie De Porco. Just as he read that he understood what he would be asking this girl.

You see Mikie has been running an illegal drug run behind the boss’s back. To Furios understanding he had been told four times already to stop. Furio smirked, and guessed the fourth was his last warning.

Picking through his folder he came to the terms he was going to grab Julia on Thursday just after her shift at work at 2:30 am. He would drive to the corner on Coraner St. and grab her there.

Shutting off his computer he walked out and locked both locks before going into the kids room telling them harshly to get their asses into bed. They did so after putting their toys away quickly. Nodding Furio walked out.

Going into his and Cettina room he could see her laying on the bed asleep. He sits beside her and pulls off her stockings and then slid off her dress, revealing her beautiful ivory skin. Leaning down he kissed his forehead lightly before pulling up the covers to cover her.

Furio walked over to the window and opened it once again before pulling off his slacks and dress shirt putting them in the hamper in the corner of the room before sliding in beside his girl.

After turning on the alarm clock he wrapped his arms around Cettina holding her against his toned chest running his fingers slowly up and down her stomach.

He watched her sleep, her lips slightly parted a frown apparent on her face, her eyes closed gently. He just wanted to smother her with kisses. He resisted and put his head on top of hers before falling into a light sleep. He never truly was asleep. Just resting.
