Hello and welcome to the re-released, slightly re-written chapter of 'Playing With Fire'! I had this up for a little bit after I had finished 'Gold' but took it down when I noticed that not a lot of people seemed to like it. I've gone over it several times and have even had quite a few people ask me to re-post it. So here it is and I like this version much better than the first one I had up. Please enjoy and don't forget to review!^^
Feliciano Vargas had it all.
Money, women, power, and all that before his sixteenth birthday.
Now at the age of nineteen he was starting to get bored. The reason he had all of those things was because his grandfather had been a very powerful crime boss, heading the Vargas syndicate as well as a chain of very nice Italian restaurants and had left everything to his youngest grandson in his will after he had died.
But lately Feli really didn't want to be the head of the family anymore.
He just simply wanted to find a nice steady girl and live the rest of his life in peace but too many people depended on him so finding that nice girl and settling down was way out of the question.
So there he was just simply wondering the city streets when he noticed that someone was moving into the large Victorian mansion that was the only house on Knight's way Ave.
Wanting a closer look at who would be living there Feliciano pulled down his hat and approached the fence in front of the house and made it look like he was just out for a walk when he saw her.
The girl was small probably only coming up to his shoulder, had long soft looking pale blonde hair, and the most beautiful light blue eyes he had ever seen. She was standing on the wraparound porch watching three men carry in box after box.
Standing next to her was another girl who was just a little shorter than the one who had caught Feli's eye and she had short blonde hair with a purple ribbon on her right side, a cute face, and pretty green eyes.
The three men the two girls were watching must also live in the house judging by the way they kept asking the girls where to put things.
One of the men looked like he didn't get out much; he had dark brown hair, glasses, violet eyes, and a mole on the left corner of his mouth,
the next one to gain his attention was a blonde who looked slightly older than himself and had the same hair cut as the smaller girl on the porch,
and finally there was the third man who was clearly an albino what with his white hair and blood red eyes.
Just as Feliciano was about to leave another girl came out of the house carrying a tray of iced tea.
She was older than the other two and had long brown hair with a flower clip in it and kind green eyes.
After watching the group stand around and chat Feliciano walked off and headed home.
It was dark out by the time he arrived at the large home just outside of town.
After walking inside he went straight to his best informants to find out what the gorgeous blonde girl's name was.
"Hey Alfred, Matthew I have a job for you two." He told the blonde twins sitting at a computer completely oblivious to the fact his own brother was already in the room
"Hey Fratello what is so god damn important you couldn't even notice your own brother bastard?!" his own twin demanded
"Oh Lovino I didn't even see you. Guess what, I just saw the most bella ragazza in the world! And I really want to learn her name." he told his brother as the older of the blondes turned to him
"Well what do you know about her boss?" Alfred asked
"She and her family just moved into that huge mansion on Knight's way, she's blonde, has blue eyes, and is the first girl in a long time that I would really like to get to know." Feliciano replied as the twins typed in the information.
The youngest, Matthew, was the first to come up with a result
"Um I don't think you want to hear this but you should stay away from that girl Feliciano." The timid male told his boss
"~Ve why's that?" the Italian asked even Lovino was curious
"Simple dude she's the only daughter of the Beilschmidt family." Alfred explained
"I still don't see the problem." Feliciano confessed as his brother facepalmed
"It's simple you idiot her grandfather and our grandfather killed each other in cold blood!" Lovino reminded his younger brother
"Yes well that was her grandfather not her. What's her name?" Feliciano asked again
"Monika Beilschmidt and she's living there with her older brother Gilbert Beilschmidt, her cousins Vash and Lily Zwingli, Roderich Edelstein, and Roderich's fiancée Elizabeta Héderváry.
"I also found school records that say Monika is the same age as you boss and will be starting at the same art academy you attend while her cousin Lily will be starting at the high school across the street.
"Their family is richer than our group will ever hope to be, Gilbert was just hired as chief of police so that's another reason to stay away from her, she's originally from Germany, and has been in the hospital for the past eleven years for a heart condition that they fixed last spring with a heart transplant." Alfred answered.
Monika the girl's name was Monika
"I wonder if we have any classes together?" Feliciano wondered aloud before Lovino grabbed his brother's neck
"Idiot! Didn't you hear what Matthew and Alfred just told you?!
"She's a Beilschmidt and her fratello is the new chief of police! And if you've forgotten you're the head of the most powerful mafia family around!
"If you get found out not only are you going to jail but you could also bring down the entire syndicate!" the older Italian yelled causing Feliciano to flinch a little
"But fratello you don't understand! I never wanted to be the boss!
"Sure once I got used to all of the violence and killing it was fun for a while but I don't want to be bad anymore!
"I've been going to confession and volunteering to feed the homeless, I've even started donating large amounts of money to the poor to try and wash myself of my sins!
"I want to get out of the mob life, find a nice girl, and start a real family like mamma and papa did before they died.
"I understand what happened between our families but even you can't stop me from at least talking to her.
"If I get caught so be it, if the syndicate goes down you can rebuild it without me.
"So for once in my life I'm finally going to do something for me!" the younger of the Italian twins screamed shocking not only his brother but his two informants as well before running upstairs to his huge master suite and locking the door behind him.
"Tomorrow is a new day and I'm going to get Monika to fall in love with me even if it kills me." Feliciano vowed before crawling into his king sized bed and falling asleep.
