Chapter 4:Asher

The coffee shop on 5th street was dimly lit, the only sounds that could be heard was the espresso machine, chattering and the cars passing by. I sat in the corner, my eyes fixated on the door as Quinn entered, she looked stunning while just wearing a shirt and sweatpants, her hair was in a messy bun and I couldn't help but bite my lip.

My eyes locked onto Quinn, and I felt a spark of attraction. I stood up and my movements were fluid and confident as I walked towards her.

"Quinn, you look beautiful."

She smiled, her blue eyes sparkling with amusement.

"Thanks, you're not bad yourself mr mafia."

We walked back to the corner and I gestured for her to sit down. She sat across from me, the barista came over and Quinn ordered a coffee and I ordered a strawberry shortcake. I watched her, my eyes drinking in every detail.

"so I wanted to know more about you so I did some research. Ash, you're more dangerous and powerful then I thought."

"yea I am dangerous, it's part of my life now Quinn, I can't do anything about, I can't just hand over the mafia business to some random person. I need an heir to do that, but I don't have one."

Quinn stayed silent and drank her coffee, I took a bite of the dessert and I held back a groan cause of how good it tasted.

"can you tell me more about yourself, things that I don't know."

"my father was killed by my enemy, Mason Hernandez. So when I took over the business and gained access to all the files and personal records, I took my revenge. I killed him and his entire family. I never knew my mom and so my maid Mary took care me since I was 2 months old."

I could see her eyes soften and I couldn't help but let my guard down.

"I'm sorry to hear that. I never knew my father growing up, there was no pictures or anything of him. Everytime I asked my mom, she would always tell me to stop asking about him."

I listened to her as she talked, her voice sounded like an angel and it was my favorite sound.

"tell me a secret that no one else knows about, Ash."

"well sometimes when I'm alone I would listen to Katy perry or lady gaga."

Quinn almost choked on her coffee when I said that and she laughed, her laugh was mesmerizing.

"wait hold up, a big strong scary mafia leader listens to karty Perry or lady gaga?"

"yea, something wrong with that?"

"no, it's just surprising and a bit funny."

I knew that opening up to Quinn was risky, but I needed to gain her trust in order for her to be mine. As the night wore on, we were done at the coffee shop and now we were walking through the empty street. The lights scattered across Quinn's face making her look even more beautiful. She talked about her love for literature and art, and from there on we got to know more of each other.

"we should go our separate ways, it's getting late. You want me to walk you home or are you okay with walking alone?"

"I think I'll be okay walking alone, good night prince of darkness."

"good night, little bunny."

She smiled and we both went our separate ways.
