Days I spend with you.

chapter 7

There's been more people coming into the house for the past week like a new cook, some guards were placed inside and outside of the house. Emma the cook was really sweet and her homemade pizza was amazing. i even had my own guard his names Noah, he didn't talk to me and ignored me everything i smiled or waved, which was weird because with everyone else he was always smiling and laughing but all im getting are angry glares. He only wears black clothes with an earpiece and a gun strapped to him, i would be lying if i said he wasn't handsome with his silver lip ring and his dark hair which was curly and covers his eyes slightly,  who are these people?

some more guys came in carrying expensive shopping bags i could see Dior, Gucci and Fenty beauty they were all walking into my room, that got me curious there's no way those are for me? i ran up the stairs and head for the bedroom there had to be like 50 bags inside and i watched as everyone filled the wardrobes and cupboards with new clothes, shoes, bags everything including jewellery. there was one guy putting new nighties away in a draw i tapped his shoulders, "can you tell me whats going on?" he turned quickly looking down and avoiding all eye contact with me was like he was scared to speak to me, "boss told us to organise them in your room". this was all from Atlas, speaking of him, he disappeared for a few days without  saying anything and he still hasn't come back. I'm lying if I said I wasn't scared Manny had been busy  on the phone all day  or with his laptop and paperwork and I don't want to disturb him. I felt so alone here and then suddenly strangers come rushing in and nobody told me anything, I felt uncomfortable all the time and wanted to go back home badly. 

The front door opened and Atlas walked in, why is it every time i think of him he randomly appears. his hair was dishevelled his shirt was loose and I could see lipstick marks on his collar. His clothes were wrinkled and he didn't even spare me a glance before marching into his office and shutting the door. I could see Emma heading for the kitchen I followed after her,  she looked back at me "you must mind his temper, the poor man has gone through a lot" it wasn't long since our last encounter I was so close to kissing him, but he was a man and they could do nothing right.

"I haven't done anything for him to be rude the way he is" Emma gave me a sympathetic smile, "he doesn't know what it's like to be near a kind person, that's you"
"And that makes no sense, does he lack manners"? I asked her seriously she just laughed at me but before she could say anything he finally spoke, "keep talking about me, throw in a few insults too"
"Oh be quiet your like a big baby" he just rolled his eyes at Emma, she was not formal with him. I'm more shocked when he pulled her in for a hug seeing the confused look on my face atlas spoke "Emma was my old house keeper when I was younger and now she's my chef" that made sense from the way she spoke about to him.

I didn't have any interest to speak to him, "I hope you like your new wardrobe" so now he wanted to speak to me, after going out god knows where doing what? Doing women apparently you didn't have to buy me anything I'm happy with what I've got now". He just shook his head "hoodies and joggers shouldnt be the only thing you wear with those fancy earrings you have. I have weird fashion type I loved wearing comfort clothes with my gold earrings it was out of place but so am I. There were frocks, harem pants with some pallu tops" I was glad I had some cultural clothes with me I loved wearing them at home. "Thank you, I didnt expect it" he just nodded walking away before he left he turned around again "next time either of you want to speak about me let me be there to listen" he left

. i went back into my room glad i could change out of the horrible clothes he had given me to wear. I put on some baby blue harem pants they were low waist and sat comfortably on my hips, and wore a gold pallu top my hair was in a bad state so i braided it.i walked into the sitting area to see half the room full of massive guys that looked scary. They all turned to look at me and if i wasn't frozen on the spot i would run back and hide. "these are some of my associates" Atlas sat in the middle and looked more scary then the rest with his harsh gaze.

i felt insecure wearing my cultural clothes in front of everyone their eyes were taking me in and i felt shivers. i could see Noah he was the only one who had his head down focusing on the chess board in front of him.

A guy with dyed blue hair turned patted the empty seat next to me, "come sit next to me, I've heard a lot about you" teenage me would have died on the spot if someone as hot as him even looked at me i made my way and sat besides him i could feel the heat from his body,  our shoulders touching the difference in size was visible and slightly embarrassing he looks like he could snap me in half. he looked down at me "im Zion" he put his hand out and i shook it "im Anisah" a voice called out from the other side, a man was sat next to Atlas "you name is beautiful" i blushed i was used to people saying i have a weird name, "thanks" i probably looked really confused, "this is roman he's my tech guy and takes care of all my confidential data, zion is my business partner." these men were scary and their jobs seemed normal there was another man sat next to Atlas he has not said a word, with a scar going down from his right eye to his cheek i could tell he was partially blind with his one grey eye and the other green. "this is my best friend and second in command Baby bear". i don't think i heard him right, his name was what? i knew i would die but i couldn't help the laugh that escaped me i was clutching on the my stomach, i thought his name would be something different like spike. the whole room stopped what they were doing and i instantly stopped laughing i could see zion and roman trying to cover their mouths. "i am so sorry please tell me that's a nickname" he didn't even say a word but shake his head slowly. "its a really cute name forgive me for laughing". he just nodded without saying anything, Roman turned to me "so Anisah where are you from?" ah the golden the question i always struggle to answer. "from here?" i stated "no i mean like what's your ethnic background"

"oh right well I'm half Arab and half Indian" their gazes wouldn't leave and they all stared at me like i was some sort of sculpture from a museum. "that's really cool were all Italian" i had my suspicions that they would be from the times i could hear Atlas and Manny talking to each other. "wow I've always wanted to visit Italy" its truly a beautiful country and i wanted to learn about their culture and traditions. "its a shame your stuck with Boss man he doesn't take anyone anywhere, if you were with me id take you where you want" i want Zion he's the perfect man a broke girl like me could ask for. i blushed and i could see atlas tense, baby bear whispered something into his ears and they seemed to be in a hushed conversation "don't mind bear he doesn't usually talk to people especially strangers" I'm glad roman was being nice as well. the rest of night me and the guys were just talking and getting to know each other Bear and Noah didn't say a word to me the entire time i was there i felt better to have more people to talk to and didn't even remember falling asleep on someone's shoulder.
