Gangsters

Part four

Lissa slept late the next morning. The kitchen was empty when she entered except for Linzi and an unknown blonde girl.

"Did you sleep well?" asked Linzi.

"Yes thank you." Replied Lissa, looking curiously at the girl. 'Please don't let her be Chris's girl' she thought.

"This is Tina Argolia, a friend of mine," Introduced Linzi, "Known as Sissy to her friends." The three girls chatted for a while before the huge dark haired man entered the kitchen. Lissa recognised him from the night she had been kidnapped. Sissy sat up straighter in her chair.

"Hello Dionico," she said flashing a beaming smile at him.

"Good morning Tina," he rumbled in reply, "How are you?"

"I'm fine thank you. And you?" returned Sissy.

"All the better for seeing you." He grinned before disappearing out of the garden door. Sissy stared after him, a soppy smile on her face.

"In case you hadn't guessed Dionico is the great love of Sissy's life." Said Linzi sardonically.

"And one day he will show he feels the same way." Added Sissy. Linzi shook her head in mock desperation and all three of them burst into giggles.

 

Two nights later at the dinner table Gianni Marchessi dropped his bombshell.
