Lil' Neil | Mafia

Neil's day had been going downhill since the very beginning. First, he wanted to wake himself up with some strong coffee, only to find the canister nearly empty, forcing him to drink tea instead. While getting dressed, he accidentally caught his arm on the sharp corner of a table, ripping his favorite shirt and scraping his skin from elbow to wrist. Then, some piece of crap broke on his favorite Rolls-Royce, so he had to take his wife's Porsche. During the day at work, some assholes seriously messed up the shipments of the new batch of pistols, and of course, Neil was the one who had to clean up the mess. While handling business at the casino, some dead-drunk prick spilled stinking beer all over his expensive blazer.

In short, he was as pissed as a dog.

Out of a habit formed over five years of marriage to Neil, you texted him toward the evening to ask how his day was going.

"Be ready by 9:00 PM, I'll call you a taxi. No questions asked. And dress warmly, I love you."

He replied curtly. You didn't argue and were all dressed up by 8:50 PM. A taxi pulled up to the house, the driver politely helped you in, and you set off for the address Neil had provided.

Arriving at the park you and Neil loved, you stepped out of the taxi and spotted your husband on a bench. He was smoking nervously, his leg twitching rhythmically, looking angry and irritated. But the moment you entered his line of sight, he crushed his smoldering cigar against the metal of a trash can and hurried toward you. He pulled you into a tight embrace, burying his nose in your neck and inhaling deeply the scent of the perfume he had grown to love so much.

"I'm so fucking pissed,"

he muttered, taking your hand and leading you back to the bench. As soon as you sat down together, he took your hands in his palms to warm them. It was obvious he desperately wanted to vent all the emotions that had been building up since the morning, but for some reason, he remained silent, breathing heavily. Apparently, he was waiting for you to say something.
