UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 211 – 220
“Ooh, look who’s awake.” Mia’s voice speaks from behind me.
I turn around, and she’s holding two mugs of coffee with steam fuming all over.
“I made this for you.” She says, giving me one.
“Thanks.” I take it and smile at her.
She looks down at the dress I’m wearing and chuckles.
“That looks good on you.” She says and begins walking, motioning for me to follow her.
I chuckle at her hilarious compliment. I know I look weird wearing Gray’s dress shirt with no shoes or slippers.
“Is he awake?”
“Still sleeping.”
“Oh. Pretty great job you did on him.” She smirks as we walk up the deck.
Oh God. I bite the inside of my cheek to stop me from smiling.
“It’s fine. I looked around, and my son and his girlfriend were missing. I knew you might need privacy.”
We walk up the deck as the sea breeze blows my hair. I tuck my hair behind my ear and bite my bottom lip. I smile and look around as I gulp the coffee. We’re close to the port because I can see it from here.
“Are your guests gone?” I ask and sip the coffee again till it’s almost done.
“Yeah.”
“Thought we were in the middle of nowhere.” I say.
She chuckles and nods.
“Most of them live in Canada. We dropped them off and decided to float a little while longer before going back to shore. How did you sleep? Good?” She asks.
I nod with a smile.
“I totally forgot I was on a boat.” I chuckle, and she chuckles too.
I look back at the water and consume my entire coffee.
“So, how did you find out he was in the mob?” Mia asks out of the blue.
My breath almost catches in my throat. I sigh and tuck my strands of hair behind my ear as we lean our elbows on the railing of the ship.
“It was… uh, I got kidnapped by a Russian drug kingpin. He wanted me as bait to get at Gray. He told me Gray was in the mafia.”
“Did you believe him that instant?” Mia asks.
I nod. “I’ve seen him pull out a gun before.”
She sighs and looks back at the water.
“I… I was also like you. Naive, young, and full of life. I found out through Damon. He was taking drugs, and I was shocked. We don’t have a druggie in our family, so I was surprised. I confronted Vince, and he decided to explain things to me. I threatened to leave him. Did you do the same?”
I chuckle sadly and nod. “We went apart for a week.”
“A week? You’re a really good girl. I left for almost three months. That was after I sent Damon to rehab. I thought I was gonna lose my son. I came back to Vince three months later after realizing I couldn’t live without him.”
She sighs deeply. “The mob is deadly, you know that, right?”
I nod again.
“And you can’t walk out of it. You’re just gonna end up dying useless. I thought Gray was gonna be a doctor. Things changed when he started getting into fights.”
She laughs, and I chuckle. That’s kinda funny.
She continues, “He told you he got kicked out of school, right?”
I chuckle. “Yeah. Multiple times. He was really stubborn, I think.”
“Very. He was like his father, and they were a great pair.”
