Being Bruno’s girlfriend meant that he had to keep an extra eye on you due to his job as a Capo in Passione.

You couldn’t really go out on your own, only because of Bruno’s fear of you getting kidnapped or hurt by someone from a rival gang.

It was a freezing cold Christmas Eve night. Bruno had been gone all day tending to his duties as a Capo. A piece of red lingerie you secretly ordered had arrived yesterday. You bought it with the intention of surprising Bruno since he seemed more stressed out lately. You just wanted to do something nice for him.

You showered, shaved, moisturized and spritzed on a designer perfume Bruno bought you. It was a sweet scented one, the kind Bruno absolutely loved on you.

Finally, at 12:30am, now a very early Christmas Day, your boyfriend came home to your shared apartment.

It was quiet and dimly lit thanks to the candles you loved to light at night. The apartment smelled of vanilla, complementing the soft flurry of the snowfall outside.
