Mine Forever

Chapter 1

"That's all for today class dismissed," the teacher Mrs. Kendall announced. I closed my book an sighed, heading towards the exit, " Vicky", she called I turned toward her, "Yes, mam ?", she smiled ," how are you keeping my dear?", I nodded,"I'm okay mam", I said trying my best to mean it. She nodded an held my hand "anything, an I mean anything if you need anything please let me know, ". I nodded with a grateful smile, and walked away Mrs. Kendall has always been there for me she's the only person that knows about my shitty past . About my druggie mother an alcoholic father who tried to sell me to pay his debts, and I ran away as soon as I found out . It's been three years now since Mrs. Kendall found me on the street corner, cold and alone. She took me home and made me feel safe again her husband a kind man let me sleep in their guest house, but when their kids got to know I was living there they started a fight. I don't want any harm to befall the Kendall's ,they've already gone through enough for me.

So I looked for a job and moved out, Mrs. Kendall is the performing arts teacher at Phoenix University of Arts, with her reference alone I was able to secure my place here an it's a struggle to keep it but I can't afford to lose it. It's my only hope of securing my future,and my dream to open a dance school of my own.

It was a cold winter afternoon in Chicago, I pulled a little on my jacket as the cold wind blew past my face. I walked down to the internet coffee shop I still had an hour an a half before I had to get to work. I ordered a coffee and pulled out my old laptop an started working on some of my last minute assignments.

I walked into the studio, and smiled at the little girls warming up. They waved at me when I entered , I walked to the back change room and got ready.

This was a ballet class for mostly rich kids, so the pay was fair but it was barely enough to keep me afloat for the month. I didn't mind though these little girls were amazing and so well mannered, especially Sofia. A beautiful 6 year old with so much passion for ballet it almost seems as though she's much older.

I walked out of the changing room and greeted my class. I called there names to see of they all were present, and we began. The lesson was slow today because I had to train a few new comers, but it went well otherwise.

After class I dismissed the girls and was about to go change when I noticed Sofia looking at the other girls running to there parents, with a sad look in her eyes. I walked up to her an placed a hand on her shoulder she looked up at me with a smile ," Are you okay love?," I asked her knowing the answer well, " Yes Miss, it's just.... I miss my mommy and daddy, " I kneeled down to her level ,"Sofia, darling mommy and daddy are always with you okay never forget that," She nodded an hugged me tightly. Just then someone cleared there throat, I pulled away slowly from Sofia.

"ZIO!!!", she screamed and ran towards the person , I stood up an turned to see who it was. My jaw immediately dropped , in front of me stood the most gorgeous man to walk this earth. He was tall with dark black hair neatly combed back but the length was quite long, his body was that of a sex god he was well built an muscular not even his expensive suit did much to hid that , on his fingers were a few rings but non on his left hand. I could see he had a few tattoos but they were covered by his suit and his eyes they were a deep dark brown complimenting his facial features. I realized this because only now did I notice he was looking straight at me, I blushed and was about to walk away when Sofia called me,"Miss I'm going now my zio is here{zio - uncle}," she said excitedly,"mi amore ,are you not going to introduce me," she looked up at him an nodded ,"Zio this is Miss Pèrez my ballet teacher an the best person ever, " I had to suppress a little laugh Sofia was so innocent and sweet, "it's a pleasure to meet you Miss Pèrez," he held out his hand I smiled an took it ," likewise I'm actually Victoria but everyone calls me Vicky.... ", I lost my voice when he kissed the back of my hand an innocent enough gesture but it sent my heart racing. His eyes stared into mine an I could see some emotion in them but they disappeared just as fast as they appeared " Vicky", he said it as if testing it out but it sent shivers up my spine, " we shall meet again soon. Very soon". And with that they left.
