Cy's P.O.V
"Boss!" Lorenzo's scream ripples through the air, when I see Dymitriy's gun pointed at him I run as fast as I can, I hear two shots and feel one of them in my stomach when I jump in front of Lorenzo.
"Ahh." I groan in pain getting up.
"Boss he's getting away!"
"Go after him Mikey." And he goes off. "Lorenzo." Looking behind me I see the gunshot wound on his chest and hear him struggling to breathe. I quickly take off my jacket, ripping off the sleeve and pressing it on his wound. "No, no, don't you dare die god damn it! Mario, come help me!" I help him put pressure on his wound and run after Dymitriy. Mikey will never catch him, aiming I take the shot and shoot his leg.
"Kensington! We can work this-" I empty out my gun on his chest.
"No!." I hear Mario's scream and I know exactly what it means.
"Deliver his head to Cole."
I jolt awake, panting. Taking off my damp t-shirt I head downstairs and drink some water.
"Hey." I turn to see Aurora. "Are you okay?" It's been a couple of days since I got back and she's been on edge ever since.
"Yeah I'm okay, just thirsty."
"You know, my room is right across from yours."
"Yes I know." I furrow my eyebrows confused.
"Which means I can kind of hear some things." Oh, right. "You've been talking in your sleep ever since you came back, Cy.. what happened in Russia? Who is Lorenzo?"
"No one, I'm okay. Please stop worrying."
"That's a little hard to do when you come home with bullet wounds and now you're having bad dreams." She sighs when I wrap my arms around her.
"Have dinner with me."
"No, you need to rest."
"I'm all rested up, I'll make the reservations. Wear something nice." I tease before going back to my room, falling back into sleep.
Aurora's P.O.V
"What about this one?"
"Mm I don't know, it looks a little boring." With everything that's been going on, going out is the last thing on my mind but Cy wants this so there's nothing much I can do. I Skyped Kim so she can help me pick something casual and she's doing a terrible job. "Okay just wear your red silk skirt with the black blouse and your red heel strapy sandals. You'll look good." I throw myself on the bed. "It's not the outfit that's stressing you is it?"
"No, well it's just that ever since that night I can't stop hovering over you know who, if I'm not checking what he eats, I'm always asking where he's going, telling him to take it easy and ugh! I don't know what's wrong with me! I mean when did I turn into his mother?" I hear Kim laughing.
"Oh honey, you've got it bad and you don't even know it." I scream into the pillow in frustration.
"Well now I do."
"Hey don't give me that look, it's not my fault you're in love with him." She laughs.
"Okay well I need to get ready, by Kim!" Hanging up I get dressed, do my hair and keep my makeup light. I find Cy waiting for me downstairs, looking handsome in his suit and I try to hide my blush by looking down.
"You look beautiful."
"You too. I mean, you look nice." He chuckles offering me his arm and we leave. "So where are you whisking me off to this time?" Stopping in front of one of New York's most exclusive restaurants I turn to Cy.
"I hope you're not too disappointed, tonight I'm just taking you to an ordinary restaurant." Ordinary, right. He helps me out of the car and out of nowhere the paparazzi ambush us. There are camera lights flashing everywhere! But luckily Soyer and Prescott manage to shield us long enough to get into the restaurant.
"Is it always like that?" He nods. "That's insane, how do you deal with it?"
"Eventually you get used to it." I highly doubt that.
"Mr Kensington! Hello."
"Hello Arnold, how are you? This is the manager of the restaurant." I make an oh face.
"Really good Mr Kensington and yourself? Oh good evening." He says turning to me, smiling and I return it.
"Hello." I smile back.
"Arnold I made a reservation."
"Of course sir, this way." Showing us to our table Cy helps me with my chair and sits down. The waitress brings us the menu.
"I'll have a glass of Chardonnay with the rib eye steak and mashed potatoes on the side please." I say looking it over.
"I'll have the same just with a glass of your best scotch."
"The last time we had dinner my company burned down." I joke and he chuckles.
"You're cute when you're nervous." I try not to blush but I can already feel my cheeks heating up.
"Why would I be nervous?" I awkwardly laugh. "It's not like this is our first date." Damn it! How did he know I was nervous? Am I that obvious.
"I don't know, you tell me Angel." Our food finally arrives, thank god! We start eating and converse. "Hey no! No stealing." I can't help but giggle.
"Sorry, it's just the potatoes are really good."
"So when are you heading back to work?" I've been working from home since Cy got back, I haven't even had the chance to see what the new offices look like.
"Soon, I mean I can't hover over you forever."
"True." I gasp.
"So you do think I'm hovering? Over you?" I was joking, I didn't actually think that's what he thought.
"No, it's just that you've been neglecting your work so you can look after me, which you don't need to do by the way, and I just think it's time wasted."
"I don't think that, I don't mind taking care of you."
"Because you feel like it's your fault I got shot."
"No!" He narrows his eyes at me and I look away. "Okay maybe it's partially out of guilt but the other part is because I really want to." I mumble that last part.
"You are hopeless." We smile at each other.
"Cy? Is that you?"
"Mia? Hi." I watch Cy get up and greet her by hugging her. Cy is known for being unapproachable so the fact that this girl is familiar with him to a point where she's unfazed by his existence shoots a small pain into my chest.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your dinner, I just didn't know if it was you so I wanted to make sure." She smiles, can't lie, she has a pretty nice smile.
"Mia this is Aurora Anderson, Aura this is Mia-"
"His business partner." She interrupts and shakes my hand smiling. I smile back.
"Nice to meet you."
"Likewise, well again sorry to interrupt. It was good seeing you again Cy and it was nice to finally meet you Aurora." She leaves.
"Business partner?" I question. "Are you guys close?"
"Not really, we just share the same burdens."
"What does that mean?"
"Nothing you need to worry about Angel, dessert?" He waves the waiter over dismissing the conversation. What was that all about?
