Was It Fake?

Heads or Tails?

Elaina's POV

"What?" I turn to look at him with slightly wide eyes. We barely even know each other.

"Would you?" He asks casually as he slightly raises his eyebrows as if daring me. I purse my lips and eye him down a bit before answering.

"Depends what we'd be doing." Elaina he could be a fucking kidnapper for all you know. Well actually, I'd know for sure if he were. If my team had looked into recruiting him then I'm sure he's clean since they continue to insist. Worst case I murder someone tonight, right?

"It would be a surprise," He smirks before slightly biting his lip before looking down to his wrist. He pulled his sleeve up a bit to check his watch and look back at me. "We could even be back in 30 minutes if you'd like," He still has the challenging look in his eye which is starting to piss me off. He's trying to dare me!

"30 minutes, I drive, I get to pat you down, then it's a deal." I offer as I look him up and down quickly then just scanning his eyes.

"Want a picture of my ID for your friends?" He adds as I finish.

"You do realize I'm serious right?" I see him put his hand in his pocket as he looks back up at me and I stare at him, nearly glaring. I mean, I'm not fully serious, but still! Does he think I'm stupid? Even if my team has looked into him, I just fucking met him, it's night, and there's no one else out here to see me- or at least that he really knows of.

"Pft, why wouldn't you be?" He says completely serious as he looks down as he gets something out. I'm so busy spacing out as I look at the necklaces falling over his shirt and thinking of all kinds of ways he could hurt me that I forgot he was actually there. I realize he was extending his hand over to me as he held something. I blink a couple of times before taking it. It was his ID.

I sat there almost dumbfounded just staring at it for a bit. I shouldn't even be questioning if it's safe to hang out with someone, I shouldn't be scared of what could happen- and it isn't even because of the circumstances you'd think. I'm the fucking daughter to the leader of a mafia! He has people watching me all the time! - and that's not even why I'm afraid.

I begin to feel a bit sad in a sense- of all the girls that don't have the protection I do. Of the one she didn't have that night- but I don't let it show.

"So what do you say?" I look up and see he has a small smile on his face but his eyes aren't daring me anymore, just waiting for a response. I felt myself finally breathe, not even realizing I wasn't before. I bite my lip from inside to hide the smile he was causing with his. I purse my lips a bit before glancing at him again then smiling.

"Fine," I shrug before chuckling to myself and I hear him laugh a bit too. "Well let's get going then, you've got 30 minutes," I say as I get up. He smirks and nods slightly before doing the same. We then dust ourselves off for a bit before I go around to get in the drivers seat.

Once I get inside the car I turn to see him offering his ID again, but this time in between his pointer and middle finger. I can't believe I'm doing this right now. I look from the ID to him a couple times before just laughing. Ama and Mari are gonna loose their shit if I just send them a picture of some guys ID. They'd probably think something happened, I was so focused on how many ways this could go wrong that I didn't even fully think that through.

"Did you think I was joking?" He says looking at me confused as he holds out his ID to someone he just met. I shake my head as I chuckle a bit before leaning back into the seat and running a hand over my face.
