Chapter 57: Indigo

I'm woken up by heavy breathing and when I open my eyes roger is stood above me watching me sleep. I rub his ears and he sits on me, I let out a groan and grey shoots up from his sleep.

"What! I'm awake!" He shouts in panic and I look at him funny, he turns to me and I shake my head.

"Fucking weirdo" I curse and he looks at me unamused before getting out of bed and dragging his feet to the bathroom, he shuts the door and I roll my eyes.

"Don't shit for too long!" I shout to him and I hear his razor switch on, grey never has stubble and if he does it's because he hasn't had time to shave recently.

"Sorry, it's bad this morning pretty explosive actually!" He replies and I hear the tap switch on, he laughs through his words and I smile. I hop out of bed just as Bea runs into the room and squeals, jumping on me and sending me back into the sheets with a loud thump.

The bathroom door slams open and grey stands with shaving cream on his face and a manual razor in his left hand looking alert and not as intimidating as usual. Bea giggles and kisses my cheek.

"Morning morning" she says cheerfully and grey rolls his eyes.

"The fuck are you so happy for?" He asks and Bea jumps around.

"I had coffee and I'm going to my first ball, what's not to be excited about loser" she says and rushes out the room. Grey and I exchange a look of worry for her energy and I walk over to him and grab the razor out his hand.

"What-"he starts but I plant myself on the counter and beckon him over to me, he begrudgingly sulks towards me and I smile.

"Don't cut me" he says and I run the razor down the right side of his cheek.

"I would never" I gasp and he looks at me disbelievingly.

"You threw a knife at me the other day" he deadpans and I shrug. He stands stone still as the razor glides under his chin.

"You were annoying me"

"Make sure to give the police that excuse when they find my dead body" he snarks and I roll my eyes at his dramatics.

I stop and put the razor on the side, he looks at me and huffs in annoyance.

"You're not going to finish it" he says and I shake my head.

"I'm bored now" I state and he grabs my face softly and leans in to me.

"You know what I want to do to you so fucking bad right now" he mutters lowly and I gulp and clench my thighs at his throaty morning voice that has yet to disappoint me.

"No" I respond barely above a whisper and he leans down to 'kiss' me, he swerve's my lips and rubs his shaving cream clad cheek all over my dry one.

I shove him off and giggle as he grins at me boyishly and chuckles. I hop off the counter and run my face under the tap until the cream is off and wonder out the bathroom and down the stairs.

Am and oaks are dancing in the kitchen to an old song that my dad loves and soph who was staying with my parents last night sits on one of the stalls chatting away to her unicorn intently. The massive purple stuffed animal takes up a whole other stool at the island and Matt stands behind her and scrunches his nose.

He does bunny ears to her and Oakley laughs, Am looks over to Matt and he immediately stops with the bunny ears over Sophs head.

He leans down and kisses soaps cheek.

"Love me?"

She nods and hugs his neck but her gaze has shifted to the door where Mav stands looking at her suspiciously.

She waves and pokes Matt so he will help her get down from the stool and he does exactly that. She pats his cheek in thanks and he smiles at her as she potters over to mav who backs away slightly.

"Scared?" Elliot says from the stove where he's making pancakes and mav glares at him.

"Hello" soph says and holds out her tiny hand. I nearly laugh when Mav looks at her hand confused and shakes it gently, his hand completely swallows her tiny one and she laughs.

He looks shocked by the sound and she quite literally runs in between his legs when she sees grey come down the stairs with a pair of sweatpants and no shirt. She squeals in delight and he scoops her off the floor and swings her up onto his shoulders.

"I'm taller than mr mav now" she tells grey and mav narrows his eyes at the little gremlin on greys shoulders.

"Hey indi!" She greets and I look at her offended.

"I've been here ages"I say and she laughs.

Amelia takes soph off of greys shoulders and her and Oakley dance with her in between them as grey speaks with Mav about something business related and Matt and Elliot argue over who gets the extra pancake.

I go upstairs and see Bea coming out the bathroom.

"MAKEUP TIME" she announces and I roll my eyes.

"We don't have to leave for another 10 hours" it's 8 now and we leave at 6 but Bea is practically bouncing off the walls so we call Amelia up and leave boys downstairs

Bea gets out a massive amount of hair and makeup stuff and Amelia and my eyes widen.

This is going to be a long day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You look beautiful" Am compliments when I come out the wardrobe in my blue dress. My hairs loose and curled, falling freely over my shoulders and I have some light makeup on.

Bea is wearing a sage green gown that cascades down her legs and stops at her ankles, a big emerald lays in the middle of her neck on a chain and she keeps saying how it reminds her of my eyes. Her hair is in a neat french plat with pieces falling at the front. She looks amazing.

Am has a tight red off the shoulder dress on with blood red lips and a smoky eye. She looks stunning as well. It's currently ten to six and we need to leave shortly. We spent the day watching tik tok and hanging out. It was nice.

We leave my room and descend down the stairs where the boys are waiting for us. Elliot and Matt have already left with my parents and Enzo has been gone for a couple of days organizing everything for the ball with hunter so they will already be there along with Charles and Alessia.

Soph is staying with Ollie who we've given the responsibility to babysit her. He's 13 now he'll be fine. That's what we all keep telling ourselves any way.

Am reaches the bottom first and I see her blush furiously at the comment oaks makes which I thank god I didn't hear. Bea kisses Mav slowly after he whispers something in her ear and suddenly I'm in front of the man I love as well and he's staring at me like I'm the only woman in the world.

"You look so gorgeous baby" he compliments and I feel the heat rush to my cheeks, I look him over and he's wearing a dior all black suit that's hugs his muscular figure very pleasingly.

"Happy to know that I won't be embarrassed to be with you tonight either" I say and a small tint of red crosses his cheeks. He leans down and captured mr mouth in a kiss and I fall in love with him all over again.

He doesn't feel the same way.

I remind myself and pull away from his addictive warmth. He smiles and we head outside and get into the limo with everyone else and we pull out the drive.

After a decent half hour drive we arrive at a humongous stately home lit up with blue lights. It looks fantastic and many people are being dropped off in very fancy cars. Many dangerous people. The thought makes me grip my dagger in its holster on my thigh and grey squeezes my hand.

"I can't believe I have to do this shit" Mav complains and Oakley sighs.

"Lighten up you loo roll, you're crushing my vibe" he whines and Mav sends him a glare to make him shut up.

Bea pinches him harshly but he doesn't flinch, instead he helps her out the car and we all walk up the stairs and into the hall where a man asks for our names. When grey tells him ours his eyes widen slightly and he nods and gulps.

Grey and I must be announced with the same mafia and last name. It's a power thing so I go along with it and as the leading mafia I can't say I'm disheartened by the announcement that turns all eyes to us as hushed whispers tear through the calmly lit ballroom.

"Greyson King and Indigo King, Don and Donna of the American Mob, king and queen of the Mafia as it stands" the announcer says and the power of the title rushes to my veins and makes my heart thump loudly in my chest as we descend the stairs arm in arm, chins up and deadly.

Another couple are announced as we reach the bottom and Mav and Bea walk Inside from the side entrance with oaks and Am that you come into if you aren't a Don or Donna.

Bea rushes to me and smiles ecstatically.

"You look so hot" she says and I smirk as grey runs his thumb over the back of my hand and talks with Mav.

After a while we separate and grey is greeted by an older gentleman with a sweet looking wife. They speak for a bit and I smile at the atmosphere feeling proud of my older brother for pulling all this off.

"Grey I need to use the bathroom I'll be back In a sec" I tell him and he nods and tells me to be careful. I do my business and head back out to the ballroom where I scan the room for grey who's talking to a man and his very young wife. I watch with a calculated stare as she touches his arm and he visibly tenses and moves away. Her husband is getting a drink and she continues to try and feel up my man.

"I suggest you get your filthy hands off my man before I cut them off" she staggers back at my appearance and nods nervously.

"Sorry Donna" She says and shutters off. Grey leans down and his breath fans my neck.

"So Fucking hot" he says and I smile at him. We talk to a few more people including Maurice who is still pissed off at grey about the paper I shredded and I laugh evilly in my head.

"Hey Enzo this is great! Well done big brother" I compliment his work as he brings me into a hug when we see him before heading to the dance floor where I sway along with grey to the slow music.

My dad and mum along with greys parents are also dancing with so much adoration in their eyes. I wonder if grey and i will ever be like that.

"Hey blue?" Grey asks almost nervous and my senses heighten because Greyson King is never nervous.

"Can i tell you something" he says and I nod. He takes a deep breath and looks into my eyes.

"I'm in love with you indigo knightly" his voice is so raw with emotion and his beautiful grey eyes are swirling with truth but i can't bring myself to believe him. I'm willing myself so desperately to say it back, because I really am in love with him too but it's like I'm frozen.

"Prove it" the words are out my mouth before I can think about what I'm saying

He looks taken back for a second but then in front of our families, our enemies, our friends, he lowers himself to the ground infront of me and kneels at my feet.

I take a second to absorb his action. For many others it may be meaningless but in the mafia, a cruel world with evil people a man does not kneel for a woman. It doesn't happen. It's like d a queen bowing for a servant.

Everyone stops and looks to him in shock as he lowers his head to me.

I lift his Chin with my hand and he smiles the most beautiful smile I've ever seen.

"It's a good thing I love you too or this would be embarrassing" I say a low mummur or laughter echoes through the room as people listen to out conversation. He grins widely and gets up. He kisses me with a fiery passion and people begin to applaud at his grand show.

I smile through the kiss and he rests his forehead gently on mine.

"Forever with you starts now" he says and I brush some hair off his forehead.

"Until death"
