A Girl In A Man's World

Together

Alessandro

Everything good in me was replaced by anger. I turned my head towards Lorenzo and shoved him hard. "Cosa stai facendo con lei? Che cazzo pensavi di portarla qui!" 

[Translation: What are you doing with her? What the fuck were you thinking bringing her here!]

My teeth grinded against each other. This piece of shit really brought this innocent girl here? 

I threw a punch at my brother, my fist colliding with his jaw. He was a second too late to defend himself. He rubbed his jaw and laughed. This motherfucker actually laughed. He went for a swing, but I stepped back and brought my gun out from my waistband. 

"Lorenzo you know that my reflexes are better than yours, so why fucking try."

"I'm older than you, fucking superior to you, you couldn't shoot me even if you wanted to." He said.

I shook my head slowly, laughter escaping from me. I pulled my hand down, the safety going off. "I will fucking shoot you right now, you shit. We can have your funeral tomorrow if you want," I spoke.

"Shoot me then little bitch."

He was playing with fire.

A laugh escaped from me, "You asked for it." I aimed straight for his heart, "I'll see you in hell."

"Stop! Please don't." A whisper could barely be heard among us. 

Our eyes met. I slowly lowered my gun. 

"Leave Lorenzo." I say, my eyes still on hers.

"You're joking right-"

I aimed the gun back at him, "Vai."

[Translation: Go]

"Pussy," Lorenzo says as he passed by me. 

I heard the door shut close behind me, my eyes still on hers.

I walked towards Victoria, tucking my gun back in my waistband. Her body shook uncontrollably. Blood was smeared all over her. A shiny gloss covered her deep blue eyes. Her chest moving uncontrollably, struggling for air.

"Get up."

Her breathing quickened even faster.

"Victoria please. I'm not going to hurt you."

I stretched my hand out for her. Hesitantly, she grabbed it. I helped to pull her up, and her small body stood next to mine. She hugged her arms around herself. I took a step towards the door knowing that it wasn't good for her to be down here. From the corner of my eye, I see Victoria taking a small step forward, her knees giving in as she headed straight for the floor. I quickly grabbed her, her slender arm hooking around mine. We walked together steadily to the door. Her arm wrapped tightly me as I held her waist to give her more support. I opened the door for us with my free hand. 

We made it outside, her breathing slowly going back to normal.

"Wait here for a second." I walk towards my Cadillac Escalade, and started the car. I drove up to her, and got out, going over to her. Opening the passenger door, I grabbed her hand, gently helping her inside the car.

I walked back to my side, getting in. I shut the door and turned the heat on. Slowly, she began to stop trembling.

"Take me home." She states.

I turned my head towards her, her big blue ocean eyes locked with mine. All the color on her had drained, her lips even more vibrant. Her breathing started to slow down. A smirk formed on my face. She didn't specify which home.
