I softly pushed his chest with my hands, but saw the soft, pleading look on his face.
He could never hurt me or my family...not with those eyes.
I close my eyes, wondering where his soft lips would land first. My neck? My cheek? My...lips?
My heart was giddy and light, skipping around nervously in my chest.

Suddenly I had a thought.
Wait, what If Sal finds out?" I say, worried.
"He'd kill you."

I come back later with some bacon, eggs, and grits.
"Morning sunshine. Hungry?" I smile.

I ask, peeking into the shower, watching the water roll over his body.
I jerk back, embarrassed. His body made my knees weak.
Sal never made me feel that way.
I wondered if I should take him Or not. I wanted him to quit, but it'll probably never happen.
I
He could break his promise and ditch me. He could do a lot f things.

"...can't leave him waiting..."
"Okay.." I grumble. "Remember your word."
I get into the car after I'm dressed, and turn to him in the passenger seat.
"Where to?"
~~~~~
We arrive, and I kiss him on the cheek as he gets out.
Then I remember I had lipstick on, and Don would see it.
I think about calling out, but he's alreAdy at the door.
I panic a little. Everyone in town knows only I wear that shade of red.

When I got home Sal was rushing out the door.
"Gotta go doll. A possible truce."
"Huh?"
"Don wants to talk over a truce, apparently."
"That sounds like bullshit."
"It is. We're gonna waste em. Bye hon."
He hopped into his car and sped away.
I picked up the home phone and was gonna dial Tony, but I knew Sal monitored all our calls.
I guessed there was nothing I could do.

"Hello Don. Here's the deal: we divide up the land evenly. Simple as that."
Sal drummed his fingers against the table impatiently. He'd never share land with these low-lifes, he just needed them all in one space.
"Ahhhh! CHOO!" Sal fake sneezed, hitting the deck as his guards opened fire on the other side.
All the guards were stunned, so they had no time to fire their weapons.
Don was the only one left.
With all their guns to his head, they stripped him of his weapons.
"Surrender, and you can go. If not...well you'll be history, friend. What will it be?" Sal said as he got up from the floor.
Just as he was waiting for the answer, he heard tires screeching outside. Sal quickly shot Don in the thigh.
"Tell them it's not over." He growled. "Let's move!"
They all fled in Sal's car.
