Chapter 17 - Flirting?

Earlier that night

Sebastian POV

As soon as Jasmine and I reached the ballroom, we rushed straight to our family and the Salvatore family who were standing in the corner of the room. Jasmine told us to leave the mansion. I worry for her, she's constantly putting herself in danger and she is always protecting me. I stay behind Andrea, Aurora, Elena and Isabella who's holding Aurora's hand. Huh for once she's keeping Isabella safe.

Bullets kept piercing through the air. Elena trips in front of me but I caught her and she stared at me.

"Thank you." I stare back at her.
"Uh... we should go." Man up Sebastian.

I helped her back up and we started running to the SUV's that were parked up for us. We all get in the cars.

"Where's Jasmine?" Uncle Alessandro asks.

"She's still inside." I replied, before he could say anything a bullet hit our car. Isabella starts screaming and crying. Then I take her and cradle her in my arms, Elena is sitting next to me, she clears Isabella's hair from her face.

"You're okay angel, you're okay." Elena whispers to Isabella and she stops crying.

Elena dials her phone to ring Stefano. The car speeds through the city.

"Where are we going to go?" Aurora asks her dad.

"We have a safe house about an hour or two away from here?" Stefano tells us.

"What happened to safe house 1?" Elena asks him.

"It got attacked, they burnt the whole fucking building down."

After two hours of driving, we arrived at the safe house. It was in the middle of a forest away from the city. It was quite big for a safe house; it had a wooden exterior. But it's discrete so no one would be able to find it. We got out of the car. I gave Isabella back to her dad, and she was fast asleep. Being the gentleman I am, I helped Elena out of the car she was holding her heels in her hands.

"Merda (shit)" she grips onto my shoulder.

"Elena. You ok?" I ask her.

"No. I think I stepped on something." She laughed and picked up her dress and there was blood on her foot.

"Yeah, you definitely did."

"Can you carry me? Please?" She shies away from me, almost blushing. I look to her brother, Stefano in case he thinks I'm up to something, he nods in response.

I pick her up bridal style and carry her in, taking her into one of the rooms and placing her on the bed.

She pulls out a first aid kit from the bedside drawers. She begins to take out the rubbing alcohol and cotton pad but I stop her. "Let me help you." I place her foot on my leg and clean her cut.

"I like you. You're nice. The rest of them would leave me to walk by myself and I'd left to do this on my own." She chuckles pointing to her foot. Damn it, what do I say?

"Well I live with Jasmine and she's almost always getting injured so I'm always looking out for her. Also I was raised to be a gentleman."

"Are you flirting with me Mr De Leon?" She smiles at me.

"Is it working?"

"Haha.. maybe." we stare at each other for a while. I swear I could kiss her right now.

You horny bastard.

"Um.. I should go. My uncle must be angry about Jasmine disappearing with Vincenzo."

"Where could they have gone? I wouldn't be surprised if they kill each other."

"Yeah, they really do hate each other."

"Thank you for fixing me up, if that makes sense." she says awkwardly

"No problem. Just try not to walk too much."

"Don't worry De Leon, I'll stay right here." She smiles, in a seductive way, at me and I walk out the door and head to my uncle and the rest of the boys.

Damn it I think I'm falling.
