Unlikely pair

Chapter 10

During her shower, she heard the door open. "Luciano is that you," she asked.

"No one else is aloud in here, other than you and myself," Luciano told her. He set a t-shirt down on the counter, letting out a small sigh he walked out of the bathroom.

She sighed in relief, now knowing that. During the rest of her shower she kept think to her that Luciano looked upset about something. But she couldn't think about what. Getting out of the shower, she grabbed the towel and dried off. Looking to the clothes on the counter, she smiled a bit. Picking up the clothes she got dressed, putting her drying clothes into the basket that was in there.

Luciano was sitting on his side of the bed, he was only in his boxers. He didn't notice the bathroom door open, he didn't hear her walk over to the bed.

Crawling into the bed, she crawled up behind him and hugged him.

Luciano jumped feeling her arms wrap around him. He glanced over his shoulder at her.

She looked at him and smiled a bit. Letting go of him, she rested her head on his shoulder. "Is something bothering you," she asked wanting to know.

He shook his head, there was nothing bothering him. It was just a long day for him, and he was just trying to figure things out. "And if there is, what's it to you," he asked her, curious to know what she was thinking.

She thought about it for a little bit, she didn't know what she was supposed to say. What was it to her, she thought about that answer.

It was question for a little bit, he raised an eyebrow waiting for her to answer his question. But it was clear to him, that she had no answer to give to him.

"If there is, I want to be able to help you," she mumbled a bit, feeling that answer wasn't going to be enough.

"You want to be able to help me," he repeated what he could hear. He could feel her nod against his shoulder. He chuckled remembering, when her brother told him the same exact thing. "But how can I trust you, when I can't even trust your brother," he said as a reminder that her brother used to work for him.

She frowned a bit, "Because I'm not my brother! and because...... because I trust you. I trust you more than I trust my own friends," she said raising her voice a bit. She snaked her arms around his upper torso, her head still rest on his shoulder.

He looked down at her arms, and smiled a bit. "Why are you not afraid of me, I mean everyone else is," he asked in a mumble.

She had to guess what he had said, "because you haven't given me a reason to be afraid."
