Romano x Reader: Mafia Hero prt.4

  Lovino looked at _____ curiously, "You don't have a job?"

  "Oh I do have one." _____ sighed a bit, "It's just not enough pay to cover my bills. Besides," She cheered up a little, "I like this bar. ~ I come here whenever I get extra money. That's not a lot anymore."

  Lovino nodded and looked forward, thinking to himself.

  "What is it?"

  "It's-a nothing." He said waving it off and walking inside the bar with her. _____ went up to the counter for a job application.

  "Well I guess I'll see you later?" She looked at him with a sort of sad smile for having seen him so briefly.

  "Si. See-a you later." _____ waved at him and walked half way out the door. "_____ wait a second." Lovino caught up with her and gently pulled her back into the bar. "I may-a have a job you can-a do instead of working here."

  _____ blushed noticing he was holding her arm and looked up at him, "And what would that be?"

  "How about you work-a for me in the mafia?" He released her arm and waited for an answer.

  _____ didn't know what to say. She just stood there looking at him for a moment. "Y-you can't be serious…"

  Lovino crossed his arms, "I am-a very serious, bella."

  "W-well I…" _____ started think of the pros and cons in her head about accepting his offer and then not. 'On one hand, if I take the job, I get to see Lovino more…'
Lovino sighed a bit, "Think about it and-a meet me back-a here in a week from-a today with an answer."

  _____ nodded her head a bit shakily, "Y-yeah sounds good." She waved good bye to Lovino and headed out the door, "See you in a week, Lovino."

  Lovino watched her go with a slight smile. As the door shut his brother, Feliciano, strolled over to him. "Ve~ who was-a that Fratello?~"

  He looked at his brother and turned back to the bar, "Our newest member."

  "Ve?~"

  "Dammit! Choose _____! You have only one day!" It was 9 P.M. Friday night and _____ hadn't chosen whether or not to take Lovino's offer. "You like Lovino right? Right. So you should take the job." _____ had been pacing back and forth in her room for about an hour now.

  "No don't take it. It's a dangerous job… but Lovino!" _____ groaned in frustration and flopped onto her bed. "Dammit…"

  Lovino sat at the bar with his beer, waiting for _____ to walk in the doors with her answer. He had that double feeling once again. Half of him wanted her to say yes, the other telling him how much of a moron he was for asking her in the first place. "Idiot."

  "I hope you're not talking about me." _____ sat on the bar stool next to him with a smile on her face.

  Lovino flinched at her voice, a bit startled, "No. I would never call-a you an idiot bella." He turned is his chair to face her, "I'm assuming you-a have an answer for-a me?"
_____ nodded slightly, "'Yes I do." She turned to face him in her stool as well.

  Lovino waited anxiously for her answer, "I will take the job."

  Lovino smiled a bit and hid the fact that he was regretting her choice a little, "Great. I'll contact you with some information soon." He got up from his place and went to leave the bar. (Much to _____'s disappointment.)

  "Alright. See you soon then?"

  "Si, very soon." He opened the door to leave and turned to her, "Oh and you should think about quitting that other job of yours. You're not going to need it." He said as the door was closing behind him.
