His Will, His Way

Chapter 19

Emma's POV

" Ok so here's the plan "

" Wait wait, don't tell me here Emma he's literally right there. If we're going to do this we need to do it right. " Rebecca says.

I look down in embarrassment. She's right. I could've blown everything right now.

" You know, I'm happy your the one with the brains in our friendship " I say.

" Oh yea I have something to tell you "

" Go on " she says

" Im giving him a chance.. " I say staring at her.

" By chance you mean.." she says surprised

" Yea, chance as in to better my chances of you know.." I say

" That's smart, but be careful ok " She says looking worried.

" Yea "

We say down at a table and ordered our food.

We ate our food talking about the new anime's coming out. We also exchanged numbers. We finished eating and it was time to go.

I was kinda bummed because I wanted to talk to her more, but Lorenzo said no. Apparently we had other places to be.

We go into his car and he drives off.

After 2 hours of driving, we arrive at a beach. It was 5:30 pm at this time so the sun was setting. It was absolutely beautiful.

There was cushions, a table, and candles set up.

" Y-you did this " I say in awe.

" Yea, I wanted to do something special " he says looking like a puppy.

" Awe, this was very sweet of you " I say walking up to him.

" Come on " I say grabbing his hand.

" Alright " he says smiling.

We sat down and we were just staring at each other, not knowing what to say.

" So..what happened with your parents " He says trying to start a conversation

I was caught off guard with this question. I don't really like talking about my parents.

" I...I don't really want to talk about them " I say giving him a sad smile.

" Its alright you can tell me when you're ready " he says grabbing my hand and rubbing it softly.

" Yea " I say looking down at my hand.

" So what about your parents ? Where are they ? " I ask.

" My parents are both dead. My Dad used to abuse my mom, until one day she killed herself. Then my Dad got shot by one of my enemies. " He says bluntly.

" Oh..I'm sorry that happened to you " I say squeezing his hand with tears in my eyes.

" Oh don't worry bambina, its in the past and I don't care about it anymore " he says looking me in my eyes.

" My mom would've loved you though " he says bringing my hand up to his mouth.

He gently kisses my knuckles and rubs them.

" My mom was the best mother ever. She was really sweet and kind to everyone. I hate my father and I never ever want to be like him " he says

But you've hit me before-

" She sounds really sweet. You're lucky to have a mom like that. " I say
