Amore Proibito 

Cormac Murphy was thinking about Antonio Russo, the son of the Italian mafia boss again. But he knew he couldn’t be with Antonio because his father would not allow him to be in a relationship with the son of a rival Mafia boss. 

Cormac walked over to the window and reflected on his busy surroundings. He had always loved the magic of New York City with its massive sky-scrapers. It was a place that encouraged his tendency to feel loved. Then he saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the kind figure of Antonio Russo. 

Cormac gulped. He glanced at his own reflection. He was a sweet, peculiar with pretty dimples and smile. His friends saw him as an angry, annoyed hormonal boy. Once, he had even helped a vulnerable old lady cross the road. But not even a sweet person who had once helped a vulnerable old lady cross the road, was prepared for what Antonio had in store for him tonight.  

The snow fell, making Cormac happy. Cormac picked up a tattered gun that had been strewn nearby; he massaged it with his fingers rubbing off the crisp white snow that had fallen on it, he placed it under his shirt in his waiste band at his back.

As Cormac stepped outside and Antonio came closer, he could see the perfect glint of the christmas lights hanging on the trees in his eye. Antonio gazed at him with affection and love. He said, in hushed tones, "I love you and I want to be with you I don’t care what people think. i dont give a shit about what ill loose, because as long as i have you thats all i need you make me the happiest i have ever been and im willing to loose everything" 

Cormac looked back, even more happy. "Antonio, i love you too, iv never felt this happy with anyone or anything, all i want is you for good" he replied. 

They looked at each other with delighted feelings, Cormac wrapped his arms around Antonio’s shoulders and said. "I didn’t know you felt the same way!" revealed Cormac with a delighted grin. 

Antonio looked happy, his emotions blushing. 

There forbidden love cost them everything.
