Unexpected Bond

Decision

Anyways, a few days pass by and Ever is recovering exceptionally. He's already walking around the place, and there are moments when I wonder if he's even human. But I'm happy. I'm still caring for his wound, making sure it's healing nicely and looks good. Also, I get the feeling Ever is more comfortable with me now touching him, even tho I touched him only when it was a necessity. In the meantime Fox took over some of the mafia business, he was still not himself, but he said the mafia couldn't run without a leader... I also found my mind is more at peace with Fox leading the mafia rather than Ever. But from what I know him, he'll be back to it in a couple of days...

I let out a long sigh.

"What's on your mind darling?" Marina sits down next to me.

"Ah, just stuff, nothing important." I crack a smile because I don't want to worry her.

The truth is, I'm scared of Ever getting hurt again when gets back to his mafia life.

"Don't worry too much, everything is okay. Ever is okay." She gently pats my shoulder.

"How did you know?" I drop my smile and my eyes widen a little.

"Y/n, it's obvious you care about him. You were so determined to look over him and I can see how you look at him, it's noticeable." She holds my hand.

"But-" I get interrupted.

"It's okay to admit it. It may not be what you thought will happen, I for sure didn't, but I'm glad things turned out the way they did. He never had anyone look at him like that and you may not be able to change him, but you can make his life brighter and I know he will repay you too. He needs patience and work, but after what he's been through he deserves it." She squeezes my hand as to say I'm on the right path with him.

"I'll try Marina. I promise." I look down and almost whisper.

"Ahem. Am I interrupting something?" The deep voice sends shivers down my spine.

My body vibrates as he looks like a god standing in front of me. He's shirtless and I can see his hard abs decorated by the new scar, I can't stop my eyes from checking him out. Damn, I must be so red right now. God have mercy, the things I'd do to this man. I manage to unplaster my eyes off his muscles and look up at his blue eyes, which are already glistening with satisfaction and are accompanied by a smirk on his lips.

"Oh no, I just prepared your breakfast, let me go get it. And you darling should go relax a little, it's a nice day, what about a swim?" She gets up and winks at me.

"Oh, great idea actually." I let out a small laugh of embarrassment and almost teleport myself to my room, making sure I avoid additional eye contact with Ever.

Ugh, why does he always make me so weak? I face-palm myself, there's not a moment I don't feel tingly when he's around. Anyways, I need to cool off, let me just grab my swimsuit.
