"You are multi talented." A low voice interrupts her. Anna looks up to see a man staring at her. She gets a familiar feeling about him.
"Do I know you?" Anna asks and the man smiles.
"I don't think so, although I am a regular."
"Right that must be it. What can I get you?"
"Latte." The man says handing over the money.
"Good order." She smiles.
"Thanks."
"Name for the order?"
"Luciano." Anna stops when he says his name. How many Lucianos would there be in the city? Not many right?
"You're Marcello's brother?" Anna blurts out without thinking.
"The one and only." Luca smiles. "You must be..." He looks at her name badge to confirm, "Anastasia. I have heard a lot about you."
Anna's heart flutters at the idea Marcello has been talking about her. Suddenly she remembers she is supposed to hate him. The guy forced her to go out with him and then took her virginity. Marcello Morretti is a jerk.
"Tell your brother to keep his mouth shut." Anna snaps.
"Actually I'd rather not my brother has quite a temper but can I tell him you said hi?"
"No."
"Great, well it was nice meeting you Anastasia."
"Just Anna and you too." Anna hands over his coffee and he leaves. Anna sighs as she gets back to her tablet. She tracks the iPhone curious to see if Marcello still has it. Anna gasps when the ping appears one block over from the Coffee Bean. Not knowing what else to do Anna send her smart phones a virus causing them to shut down.
Turning her thoughts away from the incredibly attractive mob boss she focuses on making coffee. Anna is on the closing shift again tonight so Lucy leaves her at around four. Thankfully the cafe is only open until seven and there are never very many customers on a Saturday night. At quarter to seven the place is empty so she decides to clean down everything and close up. Not wanting to face the questions from Lucy just yet she turns the lights off, locks the door and takes a seat in one of the booths.

Having not spoken to her parents in a few weeks Anna opts for a video call.
"Tesoro?" (Sweetheart) Her mum appears on the screen.
"Hey are you guys busy?"
"Not at all. We nice you." Jacob Carmichael enters the frame.
"I miss you too."
"Are you at work?" Anna's mum asks taking in the surroundings.
"Yeah I was just closing up. I uh... I was thinking about Charlie the other day." Anna watches her parents faces drop.
"You have never wanted to talk about it."
"Someone asked me if I had siblings and if made me think of him. I miss him."
"I know tesoro we miss him too." Anita soothes her daughter.
"Anyway I was just checking in, I should probably get home I was out last night..."Anna trails off.
"Where did you go last night?"
"Nowhere. Just out with Lucy." Anna lies quickly.
"When are you coming to visit? Mr Rossi has a son who would be perfect for you." Anna's father offers and she rolls her eyes.
Why do they keep trying to set me up?
"Dad I don't need Mr Rossi's son. I can find my own guys."
"Anastasia please when was the last time you had a date?"
"Last night." Anna blurts out before silently scolding herself.
"You said you went out with Lucy." Her mum looks sceptical.
"Well I went on a date."
Dammit Anna!
What the hell?
"Who with?"
Anna sighs, "Marcello Morretti."
"Morretti? That sounds Italian?"
"He is Italian." Anna rolls her eyes at her mother.
"Well this is fabulous!" Anna's father grins at her daughter. "When will we meet him?"
Oh god!
"He is like super busy. Anyway I should go back to the apartment. Love you! Ciao!" Anna quickly closes the video chat on her tablet and lets out a deep breath. Great! In the heat of the moment she told her parents about Marcello. Marcello, the Italian Don. Oh god! If Anna is honest with herself she can't get Marcello Morretti out of her head. The incredibly attractive, sexy, witty and strong Italian man.

Thinking about Marcello part of her wanted him to track her down. Find her, woo her, love her. But she told him to stay away.
'If I ever see you again it will be too soon.' She said...Anna doubts Marcello will bother with Anna it is not like any other guys ever has.
Taking another look around the dark cafe Anna stands from the booth. Grabbing her tablet she make her way out locking the door behind her. Walking up the street towards her apartment block she takes in this side of Boston. Her apartment is fairly central between Cambridge and Boston. Her home. It feels more home then Las Vegas especially after the death of her brother. Charles or Charlie was Anna's twin brother.
Anna was with him when he died, run over by a car. Drunk driver, the car hit Anna too but she got away with a broken arm and a few scratches. It was after that at the age of ten that Anna threw herself into the I.T world.
Anna knows Elliot and Lucy will be out clubbing by the time on her watch. She takes the stairs up to their apartment. When she reaches the door she notices a box waiting on the mat. Looking down at the box she sees it is for her. Anna picks up the box and lets herself into her apartment. Locking the door behind her she sits down on the couch with the box. It must have been hand delivered. The box has no address, just 'Anastasia Carmichael' written across the top.

"Montana, come here." He nodded his head toward the door, leaving out of the room. Staying silent as Ms. Carol looked at me, I kissed the back of Josiah's hand before leaving out of the room. As I walked out, Messiah stood there looking at me in disgust while I closed the door. "What are you doing that shit for?" "Huh?" I said since I had nothing else to say, just trying to stall time to get my words together."Why are you stripping, Monty?"Sighing, I decided that I wasn't going to lie like I'd originally planned to do after listening to Chocolate's stupid advice. "Money." I spoke simply and he scoffed as I looked down."Why not just ask Josiah for money instead doing hoe shit?" "First of all, It's not doing hoe shit. I don't have sex with anyone. I just dance. And I don't want to ask him for any money. It's not his job to take care of me.""So stripping..." He trailed off with a laugh."..stripping was the last resort? Instead of putting your pride aside?" Saying nothing, I just looked at him with pleading eyes."Please don't tell him, Messiah." I could already tell by the look on his face that he was going to tell him."I ain't gon' tell him.." Thank God. I thought. "..you are." "What?!" I shrieked. "No. I'm not.""You are." He spoke in a demanding tone."Please. You know how he is." I expressed"And you know how he is too but you made that bed." "Messiah, he's going to kill me." I begged."I know." He shook his head, walking away from me."Better figure it out. You got until the end of the day to tell him or I will." He mumbled before walking back into the room.
