《Friends With The Mafia Capo》Chapter XIX

"Mateo, sit down. You don't have to work out with me."
"We only have 3 more days till the deal is over," he says without slowing down.
"Oh shit, already?" I ask.
"Yes, but today is your last day. Tomorrow we are going to Greece."
"Stop," I say as I hop off the treadmill. "We are going to Greece?!" I yell excitedly.
"Yes. Now you have to tell your friends that they need to decide if you guys want to stay or not by dinner tonight," he says slowly stepping off the machine.
"Hey, hey, careful. Let me help you," I declare.
"I have to go upstairs to my office to fill out some paperwork."
I grab his large arm and throw it over my shoulder and head out of the gym. As we step out into the elevator I accidentally bump into the wall. He pulls me closer to him and presses the up button on the elevator. After a few moments the elevator dings, signaling that we are upstairs. Mateo leads us towards the office and opens the door without a problem. To be honest, I don't really think he actually needed my help.
He must have a high pain tolerance I guess.
Inside the large room sits a large, matte black desk and a matching piano on the opposite side of the room. Two priceless paintings are hung behind the large desk and a fluffy white carpet covers the ground, filling the empty space in the room.
Mateo walks over to the piano stool and gestures for me to join him.
"You play?" I ask.
"Yes. Father made us learn when we were young."
He slowly lays his fingers on the white and black keys and gently starts playing a sweet tune. The way he plays makes it seem like he does this so effortlessly. You can hear his raw talent in the way he makes it look so easy. You can hear the technique in the music after years and years of practice. The way his fingers move onto the other keys, the way he looks at me while playing seems so perfect- no- so real.

I look into his handsome green eyes and I forget about my family problems, I forget about college, I forget all the stress that is on my shoulders. I see him, and only him.
