i stood there frozen in one place, i had no idea what to do or say, yes i may be the leader of a big mafia but i haven't ever been this close to a woman before. she backed off and went and sat in my chair. "Hey get up" she looked at me raising one eye "So, how did someone like you become *gestures her hands to everything* this~" i walked over to her and picked her up setting her on my desk "It's really none of you're business" i said in a stern voice "Now whats the meaning of all of this? Why are you acting like this?" She got up and started walking around the room, looking at everything on the shelves and all the books, she went on to tell me more about her life story, what it was like growing up with her mother and her sisters before they moved out

"So now you know everything about me, you happy now, i don't get to live a glamorous life like you, i don't get all the things you have or the opportunities that are open to you" she looked down at her feet. "You're just another person that's gonna look down at me or pity me." Out of everything that anyone could do that's the one thing through-out life that I hated, people that hear about me and and the shitty life I have and just "oh poor you" I walked over to the couch and pulled out my little ballerina "what's that?" He looked over at me with a tilt. "It's something my grandmother gave to me when I was little" he walked over to me and knelt in front of me "can I see?" he held out his hand but I was hesitant on giving it to him. I pulled it away but when he looked into my eyes, I saw warmth. I slowly brought the ballerina to his hands and laid it down

When she put the ballerina in my hand I unwrapped the cloth it was in to find it broken "Oh no!! The head fell off did i break it?!" She let out a faint laugh "No, that was my mom, before I ran away the other day she had broken it" I stood up and walked to my desk and sat down, I got some super glue out and tried to glue the head back on, it took forever to set it on straight but after some time I had glued it back together. "Oh my god thank you thank you thank you!" She snatched the ballerina out of my hands "wai..." she held the ballerina close to her in excitement but before I could finish the head popped back off. "You should've let it set." I sighed and held out my hand "Now hand it here" "I'm so sorry" I could see the tears running down her cheek, I grabbed the ballerina and fixed it up again and before I knew it i looked down at my watch and it was 5:00 pm "Oh shit, it's time for me to go home" "What time is it?" She asked me in a daze "Well it's time for me to go home" "Oh, okay I guess I better leave then." she headed towards the door "Hold on, didn't you say you've been sleeping on the streets?" She looked back at me "Well yeah, but it's not the first time I'll be fine." I got up and threw on my jacket and got all my things together. "Come with me." I grabbed her by the hand and lead her with me, we got to my car and I opened it up for her assisting her in and then got in myself.

He was quiet while he was driving, just focused on the road with one hand on the wheel and the other on the shifter. "Where are you taking me?" I asked, he looked over at me then back at the road "Well as I said back in my office, you're coming with me." He said sarcastically "Well I got that one already smartass but here exactly?" He ignored my question and continued driving, we eventually came up to a gated house that he had to put some pin in to access. "Well aren't you a fancy one" I chuckled, still no response. He opened his garage and parked the car then opened my door for me "why are you being such a gentleman, yet I don't even know your name." I horned the door to his house for me and took a bow gesturing one arm in "My name is Chris." I giggled a little "I can see you smiling you know" he started laughing and it soon hit me as well. We made our way in and I started looking around it looked amazing "you hungry at all? I can make you something that'll be better than whatever you found in our dumpster." He called out, I ran over to the kitchen sliding over the hardwood floors "yes please, what you got?" He opened up the fridge and just stood there "Is everything okay" I asked with slight concern. He looked over at me from behind the fridge door and smiled "How about we order a pizza" My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree "I know just the one!" I scrambled around "gimmie your phone" he handed my his phone and I ordered my favorite pizza from the other day "what's your address?" He gave me his address and I finished the order and about 20 minutes later the pizza was here, I heard the knock on the door and ran over bumping into it. I swung it open and snatched it out the the mans hand then ran into Chris's room, I turned on his tv and put on Some Tokyo Ghoul He had gotten into the shower so I just started eating it without him "I'm gonna eat it all if you don't hurry up!" I shouted "Give me a damn minute!"

I finished up with my shower and got all dressed and walked into the room She looked over at me with a slice of pizza half stuffed into her mouth I laughed "Don't choke on that, why don't you take a shower as well" she looked really nervous "But.." "No butts, this world has enough of those, go and take a shower there will still be pizza for you when you get out." "Okay-" she said getting up and walked into the bathroom. "You're not gonna walk in are you?" "No I'm not gonna walk in, there's a lock on the door so you can lock it if you feel like it" I explained. She closed the door and started. I went and sat on the bed and ate a slice while scrolling on my phone. 10 minutes passed when she finally got out, she cracked the door "Can you grab my backpack for me? It has my cloths in it." "What bag" I asked "You didn't have one with you" "Shit! I think I left it at your office" I got up and went into my closed grabbing a pair of sweats and a shirt and handed them to her. "Here put these on for tonight and we'll grab your stuff tomorrow." She took the close and put them on then came out and sat on the bed we watched tv for a while and finished the pizza, I looked over and she was passed out cold. I let out a quiet chuckle "You must've been really tired, but you still look cute." I got the garbage cleaned up and tucked her in. "Good night." I closed the door and went and slept on the couch.

I curled up into a ball, the bed was so comfortable and his shirt smelled so comforting and quickly drifted to sleep.
