I feel lost. Everything is so confusing. It's crazy how things happen so quickly.
I don't even know how to feel anymore. I still wonder why Leo wants me. I'm pretty average. Something in me tells me he'll protect me no matter what. I don't know why I picked him over my family. Maybe it could be because they went on with life without me. Or because I was abused for years because they didn't look for me.
Making them mad doesn't bother me anymore. They can suck a dick for all I care. Marrying Leo would give them a taste of their own medicine. They deserve to feel betrayed.
"I can learn to love you." I mumble as I look out the window.
"What was that?" Leo spoke. I turn to face him. He looks at me with a questioning look.
"I can learn to love you." I speak up this time.
"Okay." His husky voice states. "We're here. Don't say anything to anyone. Stay by me the whole time."
"Okay, sir." I roll my eyes. Suddenly my seatbelts took off me and I'm facing a livid Leo. He parks the car and gets a grip on my neck.
"What have I said about talking to me like that." He scolds me like a 5-year old.
"I'm not fucking 5. Buzz off you Italian sausage head." I sass back. He can't treat me like I'm a little kid.
We stare into each other's eyes neither of us saying a word. A phone call interrupts the silence and I have to remind myself to thank the person calling. He picks the phone up and holds it up to his ear.
"What!" He shouts coldly. There's a small pause before he talks again. "I'm fucking coming. They can wait 5 minutes!" Another pause. "Gli americani sono cosi impazienti." He rubs his forehead before hanging up. He turns to me with an annoyed look. (T: Americans are so impatient.)
"When we get in this meeting don't say shit. I'm not playing with you, Eloise." He warns me. I simply nod my head slowly.
When we get inside the meeting room inside of the large glass office I see a man who looks the same age as Leonardo. Brown curls lay on top of his head. His suit is as nice as Leo's. His brown eyes stare at me with a curious look. On his lap is a blonde girl wearing a light blue dress that reaches above her knees. She looks innocent and sweet. I wonder how she got in this mess. Her bright blue eyes stare at me with a jittery look.
The meeting room has a giant table in the middle with a small side table. The pair sit at the smaller table. Leo guides me towards the chair across from them and sits down. He spreads his legs out a bit and pats the spot between them. I take the spot and his hands wrap around my waist. I wrap one of my arms around his neck while the other rests on his hands.
"Let's get started." Leo's gruff voice states.
"Aren't you gonna introduce us to your friend?" The man states.
"I could ask the same question." Leo gestures to the girl.
"Well I'm Ezekiel Carter and this is my girlfriend Camilla Reyes." I see Camilla look a bit shocked when he says, girlfriend.
"I'm-"
"Her name is Eloise, she's my fiance." Leo stops me. I turn to him and scrunch my face up.
"Nice to meet you guys." I reach to shake their hands but my hand is pulled back by Leo's. I turn and he glares at me.
"Fiance? Did you threaten her?" Ezekiel inquires.
"No. How about we get to business." Leo snaps.
-------------------------------
It feels like we've been here for hours. I zoned out after a couple of minutes of them talking. All I know is that they're allies and Ezekiel is the don of the American mafia.
Deciding I wanna play around a bit I grind my ass against Leo. He squeezes my hand as if to give me a warning. I tuck my head inside of his neck and begin sucking gently. He lets out a small groan.
"I'm gonna take her to the bathroom." Leo interrupts whatever Ezekiel was saying and drags me out of the room but not before whispering in my ear. "You drive me crazy."
