The Mafia’s Woman

“Are you dating Colorado Radon Carter?” Alice asked and Elsa got stuck with her lies as she stared at her.

“Alice no. It’s..”

“Hey, guys.” Lucas walked in at once stopping Elsa’s terrible unplanned lie.

He dropped five boxes of pizza on the counter and sit close to Alice. Olivia followed behind and sat next to Elsa.

“What happened to her?” Alice asked referring to Olivia who looks miserable.

“Suffering from a hangover. How much did you drink from last night’s party?” Elsa asked running her fingers through the dog’s furs.

“A lot. All thanks to emotional troubles. Shit who’s this cute little thing ?” Olivia brightens up as she reaches to carry the dog.

“Her name’s Zoey.” Alice replied giving Elsa a look that says “we’re not done with this conversation”.

“Aww. She’s so cute..” Olivia coo as she plays with Zoey including Lucas.

“Can I keep her?” Elsa asked Alice. She rolls her eyes and crosses her elbow on the counter.

“I mean babysit her till you wish to take her back. I know she’s your emotional support dog.”

Alice chuckles.” She’s just my pet. And you can keep her if you want.”

Elsa mentally squeal and drop the pizzas on the counter as she opened the first box.

“Pizza. Wow! Are we celebrating something ?”

“We look around the frat house and we couldn’t find you. Alice said you went home after your horny fuck face ex showed up.” Olivia said picking up a slice of pizza and stuffing it inside her mouth.

“Yeah. We decide to stop by a pizzeria and bought this…” Lucas motions to the pizza boxes.

Alice chuckles and gets up to the fridge to collect orange juice.

“Feast away your hangover.” Lucas chuckled taking out a slice.

“We’re planning a sleepover tonight at ours. There will be Pizzas, junk food, and countless movies on Netflix. So what’s up?” Lucas asked, stuffing a whole slice in his mouth.

Lucas and Olivia were roommates in an apartment.

“I’m in. Bobby is not in the city and I’d love to come. What about you Elsa?”

“Of course, I’m coming. I don’t have anything to do tonight.” Elsa shrugged and smile eating from the pizza box.

“And also, I’m planning a trip to Malibu on Sunday. We’re visiting Eva Glow to shop for countless clothes for summer vacation. You all should come.” Alice grinned

Lucas and Olivia squealed and Elsa just laughed. On a trip to Malibu, of course, she knew she was not staying back.

” We’re visiting the beach if we could shop for clothes earlier. My four million followers need to see me glow again.” Alice chuckle and gulp a large amount of the orange juice down her throat.

“I dare not stay back.”

“Me neither.” Lucas wiggles his brows and smirk.

“I’m not staying back either,” Elsa said.

“Hey Mariana, are you coming? I’m paying for everything and that includes the clothes.” Alice shouts.

“No thanks. I’ll be hanging out with Sean.” She replies from the living room.

“She is super moody this morning. Did you fight with her?” Lucas asked.

” Hell no. I really can’t fight with people. I think she woke up from the bad side of her bed.” Elsa shrugged placing the empty pizza boxes on each other.

“Buddy got laid.” Alice winked and chuckle before getting off the counter stool to wash her hands.

“Your sister got laid? That’s epic. Heard she broke up with Martinez.”

“How the hell did you know about her relationship with Martinez?”

“Martinez is sort of popular in school. Martinez, Ryan, Maynard, Carl, and a lot of them are popular guys in school. So breaking up with Martinez was terrible news to behold. She’s an idiot.” Olivia mutters and scoffs.

She couldn’t hate Marina less after she find out that she was having an affair with Carl, her crush. But then she was glad to realize the mistake she could’ve done if she was with him. Carl was a jerk and Playboy. Despite knowing Marina was seeing his friend Martinez, he still went to bed with her.

“Martinez is sort of a player. So it’s natural she broke up first cause this badass buddy was gonna break her heart either way.” Lucas added.

“She needs a fuckin rich guy because she needs to be stuntin’. Sean got Jim. The dude’s father is loaded and owns an underground basement club in college. Mariana can’t be left behind either.” Alice mutters loudly as if trying to provoke Mariana.

Elsa sighed and shake her head. As far as she’s concerned, None of this makes any sense to her.

That evening, after taking her bath she got prepared for Olivia’s sleepover. She deserves one or she might die thinking about Radon again.

“You’re going out?” Mariana asked standing beside Elsa’s door with her arms crossed.

“Yeah. What ?”

“And where are you going ?”

“Mariana, the last time I checked you’re not mom. Since you choose to know, I’m going out with the girls for a sleepover. Are you okay now?”

“Sleepover?”

“You heard me correctly.” Elsa scoffed and brush her hair before tying it with a band at the back of her head.

” Mom called that she’s coming over tomorrow for a visit. I know you know what that means. Your Malibu visit is canceled.”

Elsa scowled and cross her arm to look at Mariana. Elsa felt that Mariana was not normal. How can she phone their mother and ask her to come over? Because she doesn’t want her to visit Malibu for Alice’s shopping. She’s crazy. Elsa cursed irritatingly and pick up her bag to leave.

“You should leave. I need to lock my room door.”

She smirks and leaves. Elsa shut her door and hailed a cab to Olivia and Lucas’s apartment. Her phone rings in her pocket and she quickly shoves it out.

“Ariel..”

“Oh my God. Elsa… It’s been three weeks since I last heard from you. What happened?” Elsa felt her pouted over.

She gets inside the cab and shut the door, afterward tells the driver the address.

“I’m sorry. College is stressing the little life out of me. How are you? How’s the schooling there?” Elsa asked on the phone.

“Pretty fine. It’s annoying I missed you, especially Lucas. He won’t even call and when I do, he cares less. The school is normal as all but stupidly boring.”

“I’m sorry Ariel. I hope you’re okay ?”

“I’m fine. How are you? Saw a look-alike of you with Colorado Radon Carter in a picture that’s already going viral on the internet. Rumors say the blonde-haired lookalike of you is from England.”

Elsa groans and looks at the passing objects through the window. How could they make that stupid photo go viral?” She scoff.

She thanked her God nobody recognize it to be me except Olivia and Alice. Elsa was still freaking out thinking she owe Alice an explanation. She doesn’t want to look like a liar and maybe a hypocrite. It wasn’t really important to her and not worth telling. Both of them are not even dating or in a relationship.

“Elsa. Did you hear what I said ?” Ariel asked her on the phone.

” God, I zoned out again”. Elsa snapped herself out.

“I’m sorry. What did you say?” The cab halts and she gets out. She paid the driver and head straight to Olivia and Lucas’s apartment.

“Where are you?” She asked on the phone.

“I’m on my way to Olivia’s house. Sleepover.”

“Aww. I should hang up then. Be careful and have fun. Don’t forget to date a lot of boys, it’s worth it, and please, tell Lucas I’ll wait till he’s ready” She giggles on the phone.

“Ariel, thanks. I don’t want a boy now okay and I’ll send your message.” Elsa rolled her eyes and step out of the elevator.

“Whatever you say. I’m hoping to see you all soon.”

“Sure.”

After hanging up, Elsa presses the doorbell as it opens revealing Lucas. He smiles broadly and dragged Elsa in before shutting the door. Elsa heard chatters or maybe arguments from Olivia and Alice.

“Yeah. Alice wants to watch “The Billionaire I fell in love with” but Olivia thought “The Girls” is better.” Lucas explained as they walk to the living room.

“Guys..” They stop arguing and turn to look at Lucas and Elsa.

“Why don’t we watch something different? Aside from your choices.” Elsa pointed at them and took the remote control.

“House of cards?” Lucas asked.

“That’s an old movie.”

“365 Days?.”

“Yeah” Alice and Olivia chuckle at once.

They stop laughing and sigh in unison.”Hell no.”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“What about a horror movie? Like the nights are young or maybe the conjuring ?” Lucas asks again.

“No and no. I can’t withstand a horror movie. We could watch Riverdale. That’s better.” Elsa sighed and plump down on the couch opposite the TV.

Lucas sits close to Elsa including the others as they watch her tune nonstop.

“When are we leaving for Malibu?” Elsa asks Alice and removes her shoes.

“Noon isn’t bad right ?”

“Yeah.” Elsa stopped tuning and wait for the movie to start.

“Are we planning to drive to California? That’s far.” Olivia asked.

“I know. We’re using my father’s jet since it’s gonna be quick. We could drive to Malibu from there.” Alice giggled.
