Page 66 of My best friends little sister

We all sit in a very intense silence just watching angelica. Ivan and Mateo both look like their eyes are about to pop out of their heads, sully looks like he's about to crumble to pieces and angel looks like she's about to make a break for it.

I rest my hand firmly on her thigh just to try and ground her and avoid her freaking out and running.

Within a second of his words angel is off my lap and jumping into sully's embracing him in a tight hug. He seems taken back at first but relaxes into the hug. ''Yes please'' angel whispers against his chest.

Theyre both crying now and neither one of them pull back from the hug. I look over at Mateo and Ivan and i notice the tears in their eyes making me chuckle. Ivan kicks me in the knee and glares at me ''you cant laugh, youre crying too!''

We all sit around the living room with blankets and pillows scattered around watching a Christmas movie and eating dinner. ''So angel, how's your first Christmas dinner?'' Ivan says.

I lean down to her ear once i notice the guys attention is back on the movie and lightly graze it with my teeth. ''Naughty girls get punished angelica'' i whisper into her ear and she gasps softly.

The movie ended and the guys were all groaning on the floor like they'd just been shot and angel was cuddled up against my chest.

I'm honestly shocked that Ivan isn't 500 pounds. That guy can eat non stop and is still built as fuck. He doesnt have as much muscle as Mateo and i but he is incredibly toned.

I lightly rock angelica back and forth in my arms as i stroke her back, something ive noticed she likes. I like it too, its relaxing.

She stares at me blankly for a second as if processing my words and then suddenly she smiles. I dont think she even realised she was eating normally.

I look down at her plate and over half of it is gone which may not seem like a lot, but i know the only reason she stopped was because she was full and couldn't eat anymore. I would much rather she only eats half because shes full than because she doesnt want to eat too much.

Everyone turns to look at me and angelica's eyes fill with sadness. ''No angelica. I refuse''

I glare at him. Partially in anger but mostly in shock that he would consider allowing his sister to be part of the mafia. He knows how dangerous this shit is.

I know shes upset at my words, and that i wont let her train with us but this is for her own safety.

This world is ruthless. Our rivals are ruthless.

There are trafficking rings out there that would take angel the second they saw her and she wouldn't be able to stop them. I refuse to let that happen.

I dont instantly shut down his suggestion. If I'm being honest, i actually like it.

I would love for angel to fight with us. When i trained her that one time i knew she had potential and was a lot stronger than she seems. I know with enough training she would be an amazing fighter and she would always be with us so we could protect her.

She looks up at me with pleading eyes and i sigh. ''Okay. I will consider it but thats not a yes, so dont get your hopes up'' she squeals and hugs me tightly ''thank you''

Its now 8pm and the day is coming to an end. We've all been sitting around talking and watching tv for the last few hours. ''how was your first Christmas angel?'' Mateo asks as angel sits in my lap, lightly dozing off.

Her eyes widen and she shifts slightly before shaking her head ''good girl, now just follow my lead okay?'' i whisper.

I notice Ivan watching me as i walk angel towards the door. As i turn around he gives me a knowing smirk and nods. ''Bye guys! Have fun on your drive'' he shouts sarcastically.

Mateo looks at him confused and quickly turns to me once he realises the intent behind Ivan's words. I chuckle and grab angels hand and walk outside. ''Oh trust me, we will''

I laugh as i drive past him, flipping him off as i go and angelica giggles while waving at him. ''That was fun'' she says with a smile. ''Where are we really going?''
