Chapter ten

......................

It's slightly funny how the world works. Or at least to me. This big world is full of greed, deceit, lies and temptations every corner, everywhere. Mostly in the places you love more. The places you find comfort and peace, even call home.

I didn't know I'd be here today, standing in front of a man that saved me. He was dressed as usual, typical attire. His black suit with a white button up shirt underneath, no tie. Shiny silhouettes and his hair messy but hot, in a man bun.

Don't forget his rings that adorned his fingers like second skin. This man was good looking and it had to be illegal, or maybe that's what I thought. Looking fine and all, confident and comfortable in his own skin.

I wish I had that.

Alejandro was that typical man I'd never catch the eyes of. Even though with my thick body, innocence and melanin tanned skin, he'd probably look pass me. I don't know why he had his eyes on me. It was very comical, must I add.

I've never scored a sexy man like him my whole life, not even once. And yes, Devon is good looking, but nothing compared to Alejandro. Alejandro made Devon look average in my eyes, like nothing, a nobody. How in the world did I end up with him.

Okay, not technically with him, but in his presence. Getting his attention.

Not only that, wasn't the signs obvious? I had to stay in that stupid relationship and let him drain me to death? Heck no, not happening again.

"Mio amore." Even though Alejandro was good in every sense. Sexy, hot, handsome, drop dead gorgeous, smart, good company and rich, I couldn't deny the slight irritation he gave me, there's something up about him I didn't know about, something big.

He pushed himself up from the leaning position he was in, and stood in front of me. Grabbing my waist immediately. I didn't know why I let him do this, but it felt normal, natural, as if he's done this many times before. "You look beautiful, bambino."

"Thank you."I blushed, he caresses my cheek. Alejandro looked in my eyes attentively. As if studying me or trying to figure me out. "Are you ready?"

"I'm not sure. What should I be expecting?" He laughed, grabbing my hand instead. I don't know my heart started beating rapidly when he interlocked our fingers, his completely engulfed mine. Big ass hands.

He turned to the passenger seat of his Red SUV. Alejandro opened the door for me as he helped me in like a true gentleman he is. Once I was seated, he did the same thing he did the first time I got in his car. My hormones took a 180 turn.

Alejandro stretched in front of me to grab the seatbelt, his breath on my cheek as I looked anywhere but into his eyes that were burning my skin. "Bellissimo."  He whispered so softly to himself, and I took a risky glance at him.

When his dark green eyes caught mine in an instant, I jumped slightly and looked ahead once again. Alejandro laughed as if I did something funny, shaking his head as he clicked the seatbelt on me, making sure it was secure. "All set." He gave my thigh a pat and I think the butterflies in my stomach was about ready to spill out of my mouth.

Getting in the drivers side, he hoped in and started pulling out of Louis and Titi's house, when his phone started ringing. I looked at it, and someone called "Damien."  was calling. Alejandro glanced at his phone before looking away, and started pulling out the gates.

The phone kept ringing and I frowned when he made no move to pick it up. We got out the gates and started driving down the streets, a few seconds in, I started getting annoyed at the loud ringtone.
