A C E G R E Y

The car jolted and Aurora almost hit her head on the window but luckily I caught her just in time. When the car was finally back on track, she tried to get out of my grip on her but failed due to the fact she was so small compared to me.

I didn't wanna let go. Something about her being in my arms felt so right. She attempted again to get out but I held on a bit longer before hesitantly letting her go. She didn't move back to where she was sitting and just sat there next to me as her arms were crossed trying to keep warm. I took of my coat and draped it over her shoulders and fixed her hair. She glanced up at me and gave me a small smile. Her green eyes glistened in the moonlight. God she was perfect.

I cupped the side of her face as she flinched at the touch. I gave her a confused look but leaned it onto my shoulder and caressed it with my thumb and soon enough she was asleep.

She looked so peaceful as she slept. Not a single flaw on her face. Her petite body rested next to me. Her silky hair rested on her shoulder. She was perfect.
...
We reached home when I nudged her and whispered into her ear to wake her up. She shot up at my sudden touch. I quickly removed my hand as she looked back over at me with fear in her eyes. Bad Dream? I gave her a gentle smile to reassure her she's okay. We both got out of the car and I followed her into the mansion.

"Forget the meeting it's late, A show Ace his room Jordan show Mr and Mrs. Grey their rooms." Aurora's father said as Aurora and Jordan shook their heads.

She looked over at me as I followed her up to the steps to where my room is. She reached into the pocket of her dress and pulled out a set of keys and unlocked my door. It was a mostly black and emerald green interior with dark wood finished accents. I loved it.

"Well this is your room and right next door is mine. If you need anything just come to me." She said in a quite tone looking back at me. "Oh here you go" She handed me my coat back as she left the room.

I undressed and placed my clothes in my closet and threw on a t-shirt and joggers. I couldn't get the image of her out of my mind. She was supposed to be just a mission, just an ally, just another foolish girl. Not someone who clouds my mind for the last 5 hours that i've actually gotten to see her.

I looked out of the window to see the white blanket of snow covering the land as my mind was contemplating between two thoughts. Go see her or go to sleep.

Fuck it, I quietly made my way out of my room and knocked on hers. Please say she's still up.

"Come in" she quietly called out. Her room was grey with black white and gold decorations. She sat in the love sack in the corner of the room curled up in a blanket. Messy bun no makeup but still gorgeous as ever, over sized hoodie and joggers. She was looking out the balcony door at the snow and the night sky full of stars. Didn't even bother to look up at me.

I pulled out the chair from her desk and brought it up in-front of her and took a seat when she looked over at me.

"Everything okay?" She questioned sitting up wrapping the blanket over her head and around her body. She looks like a little smiling potato it's adorable.

No it's not it's stupid. Nope it's adorable fuck.

"Can't sleep" I stated blandly and shrugged my shoulders. I looked into her eyes that shimmered in the moonlight.

"Me neither" she said smiling back at me with a perfect American accent not a hint of Italian in it.

"How come the rest of your family has an Italian accent and you don't?" I questioned out of curiosity.

She looked out at the window and back at me "That's because I was adopted into the Italian mafia when I was 7."

"You're the mafia queen yet you weren't born into the mafia?" I furrowed my eyebrows looking at her trying to comprehend everything I was hearing.

"I was born into the German Mafia" She stated looking down.

"Why would they let you go?" I questioned in confusion but felt bad at how rude of a question that was.

"They couldn't handle having their daughter be the coolest person alive" she said smiling and giggling at her own joke right after. I rolled my eyes with a smile.

"Now what's the actual reason shithead" I say giving her my full attention. Her smile faded as closed her eyes for a second before opening them to look at the ground.

"At the time it was a disgrace to have a baby girl. So they did everything they could to make it seem as if I had a natural death. They were both drug addicts and abusive and would beat me until I was passed out on the floor.

On my 7th birthday they told me they were getting me a surprise and left the house after setting it on fire leaving me inside. I ran out from the back door onto the street and almost got hit by Jordan. He pulled over and took me back here. I explained the whole thing to Micheal and Laiyla and they took me in changing my name and everything so that the germans would never find me again." She stated as she looked down and then back up at me with sorrow in her eyes.

My blood was boiling at the thought of someone hurting her let alone her own birth parents. I wanted to find them and kill them with my own two hands.

But my heart was also happy she opened up without a fit. Maybe she trusts me.

"Is that why you flinched?" I questioned recalling what she has done multiple times from earlier tonight.

She hesitantly nodded her head at me. I looked up into her eyes as they began to flood with tears from recalling the past. I engulfed her in a hug as she stiffened but then melted into my arms burrying her face in my chest.

As much as I hated caring for others, she had a spell on me and I wanted to get rid of it so bad but my heart told me she needs me and I need her.

well damn that was unexpected now wasn't it 🕺🏼 kinda like where this is going not quite sure but it's all good lmfao
