Unwilling

chapter 15

Recap :

He didn't even give me a chance to speak, and he walked away. Jerk face. Is this a date? Now why would a handsome mafia leader ask me plainly for a date? Even if he asked, why would I say yes? He is my kidnapper, for god's sake. I should not develop Stockholm syndrome. I went back towards my room to clean up.

Amelia's POV:

After I had a shower to get the chocolate off me, I got dressed in fresh clothes. I have nothing to do, so I decided to take a look at the mansion. This mansion is more complicated than a maze. I don't know where I am headed. When I was inspecting the mansion, I came across a garden. I went inside the garden and sat on a bench. I enjoyed the fresh smell of grass and soil. I have always enjoyed nature. It gives me a great feeling.

Then I remembered I could talk to Mom again. I took the phone that Leo gave me and dialled my mom's number. She picked up after a few rings. She was shocked that I called again. I told her that Leo is not as bad as he looks. I even told her that he treated me well. She told me about her day. She said that she misses me a lot. I miss her a lot too. I told her that I would try to call her every day.

After I cut the call, I went to pick some flowers from the garden. I decided to prepare a bouquet. Leo had shown me kindness, something I didn't expect him to do. He could have sold me, hit me. He has the power to do things to me that I couldn't even imagine in my worst nightmares. He could have thrown me in dungeons and let me starve. But he didn't. It's something I should be thankful for. So I decided to gift him this flower bouquet. I will give him when he comes to pick me up at 5.

After I picked the flowers, I took them to my room. I had lunch and started preparing the bouquet. After a few hours of hard work, it's finally done, and I am happy with the result. I placed it on a table near the bed and went to take a shower. After having a shower, I wore a floral dress that reached just a few inches above my feet. I let my hair down and just went with the bare makeup look. When I was done, I picked up the bouquet and placed it on my lap while I waited for Leo.

After a while, there was a knock on my door. I placed the bouquet on the bed and went to answer the door. I opened the door, and there stood a devilishly handsome Leo. He was in his suit, as usual. I smiled at him, and he returned it.

"Shall we go?" he asked with a smile on his face. It's so rare to see a smiling Leo.

" Umm .... I need to get something. Wait here. I need to get something. Wait here. Don't move." I said that and went inside to get the bouquet.

I picked up the bouquet and went to give it to him. When I turned towards the door, he was not there; he was inside my room.

"I told you to stay there." I said it with a frown on my face.

He started walking towards me and stopped when he was right in front of me.

"What is this, sweetheart?" He asked, looking towards the bouquet.

Suddenly, I forgot how to talk. Every time he is close to me, I become a kid who doesn't know how to talk.

"I-Its I-I made it a-as a t-thank you gift " . I said that looking down, I found my feet very interesting.

He placed his hand on my chin and lifted my face up to look into his eyes.

"Thank you," he said, and he took the bouquet from my hands. I saw sincerity in his eyes while saying thanks. He held the bouquet in one of his hands, took my hand in the other, and walked me out to his car. He placed the flowers in the backseat and opened the door of the passenger seat for me.

"Thank you," I said and slipped inside.

He sat in the driver's seat and started driving.

He took me to what seemed like a fashion store. There are expensive stores like Gucci, Tiffany & Co., and many others. There are also posters of supermodels Ashley, Cara, Gigi, Bella, and others. I seriously hate this place. I just have a mild sense of fashion. But this is too much. I can't ask him to take me back since I am not talking.

I turned towards Leo, trying my level best to look like I didn't like this place, but he didn't seem to understand.

"You go and explore; we will wait here," Leo said.

Now I have to go there alone. I am not at all interested in doing this in the first place now alone. A person beside me to talk with in this boring place will be good.

I reluctantly went inside some shops. Everything is expensive. I just checked some dresses, but they are showing too much skin. So I just decided to go to a jewellery store. Everything is sparkling with gold, diamonds, platinum, and silver. They are a glory to our eyes. But not even a single thing reached my eyes. When I was about to go out of the store, I saw a diamond necklace. It's so beautiful. It's like God took his time making this. I don't know what's with me and these diamonds, but I am so attracted to them. I went near the necklace to check it out, and the price just shocked me. I think even if I sold Leo's mansion, I couldn't buy this single piece of jewellery. I just admired it, hoping I would get enough money to buy it in the future, and walked away.

As though the fashion store thing is boring, I ended up buying nothing, and Leo asked me why I didn't buy anything. He even gave me his card. But I don't like to spend his money. I just came up with the excuse that I didn't like anything.

But next, he took me to an ice cream store. You know how much I love ice cream. My face glowed like a 100-watt bulb as soon as he stopped at the ice cream store. I tried almost all the flavours. Don't judge me; they are delicious. Leo ate only one chocolate ice cream. We ended up having a great time. Finally, we reached home. He walked me to my room. When he was about to walk away, I called him.

"Leo,, thank you for today. It means a lot to me " .

He smiled at me and said, "I would love to do it again." .

Now my cheeks are as red as tomatoes. Not wanting to embarrass myself more. I went inside and closed the door. I swear I heard him chuckle.

That night, I went to sleep with a smile on my face.
