Black Silk

Soon night time came and I was sitting in the kitchen drawing out some sketches. I heard footsteps approaching and closed my book. I put my sketchbook in an envelope holder and Luciano walked in the kitchen.

"Why aren't you asleep?" He frowned. Granted it was close to midnight but I still did not feel tired.

"I don't feel tired." I shrugged.

He was dressed differently. Simple jogging pants and a plain black tee shirt. His hair was wet indicating he just got out of the shower as it hung down his face. He didn't say anything, instead just poured himself a cup of coffee and stood against the counter drinking it and watching me closely. It was quiet for what felt like an hour but really i think it was only like 3 or so minutes.

"Let's get to bed." He said putting down his cup in the sink and walked over to me. I didn't move. Why is he being so kind to me? I just watched him as he stood in front of me and had his hand out for me to grab.

"Are you going to get up or will I have to carry you?" He asked with a serious demeanor. I shook my head and stood up from my seat. He grabbed my hand and an electric shock ran up my arm.

I pulled away and he stood still looking at me.

"I don't need you to hold my hand like I'm a little girl. I'm capable of walking on my own." He looked shocked for a moment before nodding and continued walking as did I.

When I got upstairs, I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. Once I was finished with that, I brushed my teeth, got dressed in black silk pajamas, and moisturized before walking out. Luciano was sitting up on the bed with a book in his hands and glasses sitting on the bridge of his nose.

He looked up at me and closed his book. taking off the glasses, he put them on the nightstand and I walked over to the other side of the bed.

"Do you sleep with the light on or off?"

"Off." He turned off his lamp and so did i.

"Goodnight."

"Night."

The next morning the sun beamed on my face forcing my eyes open. I groaned and tried sitting up but was restrained. I looked down and Luciano was laying over me while holding my waist. I was surprised as to how we got into such an intimate position. I tried to get out of the bed but he was just too heavy.

"Fuck." I sighed in defeat. I felt him smile against my skin and realized he was awake.

"You bastard!" I gasped and a deep laugh erupted from him.

"You were awake this whole time and just let me struggle." I frowned.

"I wanted to see if you'd be able to get up." He looked up at me with a smile.

"Can you please get off of me?" God this is so fucking embarrassing.

"Since you asked so nicely." He got off and I quickly walked towards the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and washed my face before walking out not even looking his way.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"To make breakfast?" it came out more of a question than i wanted it to.

"Not dressed like that you aren't." His face hardened. I looked down at my silk shorts and matching shirt and looked back at him.

"Put on some jogging pants, I don't want my men to see you dressed like that." I didn't even argue, I just went to the closet and grabbed a pair of sweatpants and put them on before walking out of the closet.

"Happy?"

"Very." I rolled my eyes and walked out before going downstairs and rummaging through the cabinets and fridge for something to make. I found some ingredients to make pancakes so I decided on that and some cut up fruit.

In all it took about 35 minutes to make and I had some time to make some bacon, not even sure he liked it. But if it's in his fridge then surely he eats it, right?

"Good morning." Luciano walked into the kitchen and prepared himself a cup of coffee.

"Morning." I said.

I put the food on the dining table and Luciano and I sat down. At first it was awkward. Neither of us said a thing and the only thing heard was the sound of chewing. Then he started talking about what he'd do today.

"While I'm gone you can go into any room as long as it's not my office." He said and I nodded. We both finished and I took the dishes to the sink and washed them.

"I'll be leaving now, if there is anything you need tell Marcey at the front and he'll get it for you."

"Okay." I nodded and he bidded me a goodbye before leaving. I finished cleaning the kitchen and went back upstairs to sleep.

A few days had passed and Luciano and I's routine was the same; I'd wake up a little while before him and make breakfast. We eat, I clean, he says goodbye and I don't see him until the next morning.

During the hours he was away, I would read or make some sketches for new designs but even then I'd still be bored to death. There's no one in this house but me aside from the maids and guards but even they were afraid to talk to me. What did Luciano tell them? The only person I spoke to was Marcey and that was only to ask him when Luciano was coming home.

Today is saturday and Luciano told me he usually stays home to work on saturday's but even then i still haven't seen him since this morning. I wanted to go to the mall today but if i can't find him then i can't go. I plopped down onto the bed sighing.

"What's wrong with you?" Luciano walked in.

"Thank god! I was looking for you but couldn't seem to find you." I said with relief.

"Missed me already?" He smirked.

"No, I just wanted to ask you if I could go to the mall." Hopefully I deflated that big ego.

"No." He shook his head.

"But why not? you always get to leave and I can't even go to the mall? Not even if it's with 10 bodyguards?" I whined.

"You're still not going. It's too dangerous." I rolled my eyes and fell back on the bed. It's pretty clear now that he plans to keep me locked up here.

"It's not safe. I have a lot of enemies and they will try to hurt you to get to me. I can't put you in that position as my fiance." He sighed.

"I understand." I nodded and got up. It's so depressing just having to stay in the house everyday.

"Hey," he walked up to me and grabbed my arm. "I just want you to be safe, gattina. I'm not just saying no because I want to be cruel." He softly said.

"No I know, I don't even know why I asked." I dryly chuckled and tried stepping away. He pulled me towards him and looked me in my eyes before smashing his lips into mine...
