My story

I laughed as he left. Suddenly my laughter died at the sight of angry Roman coming to me

"What did I tell you, you could've gotten yourself killed," he said while scratching his neck angrily

"Oh I am the one who screwed up, was I the one who called him a whore I wasn't, he disrespected, "I said almost shouting." And of course, you wouldn't know how that feels you weren't sexualized as a kid, you weren't cat called by grown men or called a pussy and weak, you know," tears started pilling up as I remembered what happened to me when I was only 10

Trigger warning sexual harassment

I was walking my dog Freddie when all of a sudden a group of 13-year-olds comes to me wanting to pet my dog, but that wasn't what one guy wanted. He grabbed me by the but, and I was 10 years old. His male and female friends laughed. I felt ashamed I just stared at the guy hoping I could see the feeling of regret or shame in his eyes but the only thing I could see was the proudness in his eyes. I wanted to puke I wanted to kill him, but a thing I wanted the most was to be swallowed by a black hole, so I wouldn't feel embarrassed. The worst thing was that there were adults and they did nothing they just walked. So I did the same, I ran as fast as I could with my dog just to not see his face. I guess I thought not seeing his face would make me less ashamed

Before I even knew it I was forced into a hug.

"Shhh, I won't let anyone hurt you, "Roman said as he began running his fingers down my hair. I hugged him back. I don't know why but whenever I was with him I felt like I could be vulnerable near him, I felt safe near him. I don't know why maybe it was because we both have parent issues, or cause we were both scared, or maybe because deep down were children who didn't get to have a normal childhood.

I pulled back from the hug."I am okay really just a bad memory," I said brushing the tear that came down my face. I don't need him to know everything about him, I mean he can use t against me in the future.

"Don't worry about Stefan he will get what he deserves," he said

"Okey so Reth offered to show me the safe housed today at 8," I said looking at my nails. Damn, I really need to get them done.

"Oh okay, I didn't know you and Liam were over," he said questioning me. Damn isn't it too late to play cops.

"It's not a date he just offered to show me around, and I don't want to talk about Liam, damn I don't date every guy I see," I said with an angry voice

"Chill, damn okay," he said sarcastically.

Later

It was 8 pm I was waiting at the safe house for Reth when suddenly someone comes and hugs me from behind. I immediately knock the person down

"Ouch," he said sarcastically

"Shit, I am sorry I thought it was a random predator," I said helping him get up from the ground.

"So like were di you learn how to knock a person down," he said while unlocking the safe house

"Well I went to boxing when I was around 13," I said as he opened the doors

"So here are the guns," he said while pointing to the right corner of the room. " Only use them when you have to, we don't want the boss to rip our skin cause we ruined his little princess," he said sarcastically. Wait Paulo thinks I am his little princess

"No way Paulo thinks that, I mean I am not his biological daughter,"I said in disbelief

"No, really he wanted to kill Stefan after what happened today, even though his father and he are like besties, he really cares about you and not in a perverted stepdaughter way," he said in the last part of the sentence sarcastically

"No way you're shitting me," I said laughing while covering my mouth and nose with my hand. I always hated the way I smiled since I was little, cause of the way my mouth makes this shape while laughing.

"Don't do that," he said while looking at my eyes

"What," I said with a confused voice

"Don't cover your mouth while laughing you're always pretty," he said while counting the tour and leaving me in shock with his statement.

"I know I said I will teach you how to shoot but Paulo doesn't allow it so this is going to be only a tour, So on the left side," he continued but suddenly is topped hearing his voice cause my thoughts occupied my head. Wait what if he really likes me and what he said wasn't cause of niceness. No Maria, not every guy that's nice to you likes you. I am confused now, shit I am overthinking this

"Are you even listening," he as he snapping his finger

" I was but then I thought about the physics test I have to study for," I lied I don't want him to know that I was thinking about him and his little statement. I mean I don't want him to be creeped out by me.

"Well I can teach you if you want," he said while walking closer to me. Shit, I never realized how intimidating he is." Or I could teach you something else, something you were thinking about earlier," he said as he pinned me on a wall. Has anyone here heard of personal space. I think not

He leaned and we kissed, then the kiss became more passionate. Then all of a sudden Reth backed down from the kiss.

"I don't want to hook up with you," he said I felt hurt I mean am I that ugly

"Oh okay," I said with a little sadness and disappointment in my voice

"Oh I didn't mean it that way I don't want to hook up with you cause I don't want this to be some random hook-up, I want something special cause I think you're a special girl. When you entered that door for the first time I thought what is this beautiful girl doing here," he said as I made a small smile."I want to take this slow if it's alright with you," he said I nodded. We hugged and all of a sudden I saw familiar eyes at a dark corner in the room
