Ethereal: Extremely delicate, light, not of this world.

"Jesus, I still can't believe that he's in the Mafia. He could kill me at any chance, I need to be careful. And I can't break the code of Omertà, or I'll die," I murmur as Vincenzo leaves my office.
I immediately cover my mouth and curse under my breath when I realise that he's still standing outside my office door.
After I'm sure that Vincenzo's gone, I breathe a sigh of relief and start packing up my things to go home, to be greeted by him, again.
"What are you doing here?" I groan as I walk into the lift, him following my like a stray puppy.
"I wanted to discuss business with you," he replies, sounding so sincere.
I press the ground floor and look towards him.
"We can do that tomorrow, in my office," I say.
He shakes his head. "It's about our relationship," he whispers in my ear, sending a tingle down my spine.
I sigh. "Fine," I give in.
He smiles in a superior kind of way. What have I just gotten myself into?
I sit on the couch in my apartment while Vincenzo looks around the ting building.
"What did you want to say about 'our relationship'?" I ask, watching him gaze at the walls around us.
"Nothing, I just wanted to see where you live," he shrugs it off.
"What?" My eyes widen.
He just shrugs again, causing me to groan. I grab a pillow off of the couch and throw it at him. It hits him in the face.
"Ow! What was that for?" he chucks the pillow back at me.
I giggle, ducking so that the cushion doesn't hit me. "You're just so annoying! You deserve a taste of your own medicine!" I giggle again.
He frowns overdramatically. "Oh, my dear Emma, woe is me," he states, clutching his chest, making me erupt into a fit of laughter.
After Vincenzo leaves, I lay back down on the couch and replay the last moments I just had with him in my mind. And then, while I was thinking, I realised something. I realised that I'm in love.
I'm in love with Vincenzo.

Hi! Sorry that this chapter is so short, I knew how I wanted it to end, but I wasn't sure how to get there. I tried dragging it out a little bit, but then it just seemed too messy and jumbled.
