coat

the rest of the car ride home was silent. you sat and stared at the ground for an hour. just thinking. mainly about what sat next to you.

you looked up when you felt bright lights on your skin. you squinted your eyes and saw new york city.

it was gorgeous and you loved it there. they lived in nyc? hm.

you looked around with wonder in your eyes. a small smile was plastered on your face. the whole way to their home, you just looked around and studied the city.

you loved the buildings, all the lights, all the people, all the excitement and action. it was where you wished you could live.

you spotted from the corner of your eye, michael looking at you often. it made you feel flustered.

suddenly you turned down a darkly lit street. you pulled up to a big tall gate. the driver rolled down his window, waved to a man standing by the gate who nodded his head and him and another man opened it. you drove in, the gate shutting behind you. trapping you here.

he parked next to two other fancy black cars. monolo and tom both got out. sonny leaned over you and stared into your eyes. you felt threaten and scared.

"don't try anything. do as your told and keep your mouth shut." he whispered. you bit back a wimper and nodded. he was so it imitating to you.

he looked you up and down before stepping out of the car. you turned to michael. he was looking at you with a warm expression. you nodded to him. his big dark eyes studied your face for a moment before he tensed his jaw and opened the door. he got out and held the door open for you.

he wore a white button up and a tie, his coat now wrapped around your form. you scooted across the seat until you were on the edge. you took a deep breath and stepped out into the cold air.

the breeze hit you and you trembled. michael shut the door quickly and approached you. he grabbed the collar of the coat on you and then walked in front of you. he pulled it so it was covering more of your exposed skin. you looked up at him and watched as she concentrated. he straighten it out so it was perfectly wrapped around you like a blanket. once he was finished, he looked down at you. he was much taller than you. he wasn't like traditionally tall, maybe 5'8? but it fit him just right. you were kinda a short person though, so you had a height difference that was rather large. michael gave you a thoughtful face. he inhaled sharply and walked behind you.

he placed his hand on the small of your back and lightly pushed you forward, gesturing for you to walk. you did as he wanted.

michael brought you up to a long and large house. it was dark, so you couldn't see much. but it looked massive.

he lead you up the steps and up to a door. he opened it and lightly shoved you inside.

you looked around to see a gorgeous view. the room was dimly lit with a lamp. the walls were white and trimmed with gold. there were leather couches in the middle of the room, and a coffee table. you looked around in amazement. you'd never seen a home like this in your life. it was truly magnificent.

then, micheal lead you, with his hand, to a door. he opened it for you and you both walked in.

about 10 people were in there. it was a big room with couches and tables and desks. they all looked italian, all had dark black hair and were all looking at you. your heart stopped and you breathed rapidly. "your father is already asleep. he will see it it tomorrow." an older woman said.

you heard michael sigh. he ran a hand through his hair and nodded. "connie can show her to her room." the same old woman chirped.

you heard michaels breath hitch, so quietly that only you could hear it. he nodded and looked down at you. you looked up at him with fear in your eyes. he looked tired. his eyelids were heavy. his dark pools of brown looked at you. a sympathetic small smile formed on his lips. you could tell it wasn't real, and that he was just trying to help. which he did. you took a deep breath. he then cocked his head, gesturing to a girl standing behind a sofa. you took a quick second to capture his features so you could dream of him tonight. you felt like he knew. like he could almost read you. you exhaled and turned around.
