(Sin's POV)

I was sat on the velvet couch with my mother beside me asking me questions about Shye. Mainly questions about how she was treated because she could tell something was off about her. I told my mother all I knew and I could see the sadness in her eyes when I told her what Shye had gone through. I could feel my cheeks still flushed from my kiss from Shye. I couldn't stop thinking about. That little kiss she gave me made me think that I could have a chance with her. Date her. Make her my girlfriend. Show her what love was like.
"There's something else bambino (baby boy), what's on your mind?" my mother said to me as she took a seat on the couch next to me.
"I was just thinking about Shye, she just kissed me on the cheek and I felt my heart flutter when she hugged me. I really like her, but I'm worried for her safety. The mafia world is dangerous and she's been through enough in her life and I wouldn't want her to get hurt." I told my mom, getting out of breath.
"Bambino, I think you should let Shye decide whether she feels safe or not in our evironment. She'll most probably have to experience our world while she stays here."
"But what if she gets hurt?"
"Don't miss out on a beautiful thing that you could have by over worrying Sin, that's one trait your father passed down to you,"
"But mama-"
"No buts, when I first met your father he refused to ask me out because he was worried for my safety in his world, but eventually he realised he'd lose me if he pushed me away and he chose love, then he realised that he could love me and keep me safe without sacrificing me or the mafia life."
"So you think I have a chance?" I asked sheepishly rubbing my neck.
"Sweetheart you definitely have a chance and I advise you to take it and if you need some help in the romance department you can always ask me," mom said to me a smile on her face, "She's a lovely girl by the way not just he looks, but her heart too, she'll be a good partner for you." With that my mom got up and headed to her office to do some more interior design and I was left delving into my thoughts that just happened to be filled with a certain blue-eyed, blonde haired, soft-spoken Angel. It took me a while, but I eventually decided on something. I was going take a chance with Shye. If she didn't want to be with me then so be it, but I wouldn't just sit around and watch someone else steal her heart. I'd fight for her, I'd fight for Shye Rucchi.

(Shye's POV)
I had finally finished unpacking and I laid sprawled out on my new bed. It felt like a marshmallow beneath me. I sunk far in and never wanted to resurface, but the shattering pain in my head decided differently. I got up headed to my bathroom and got the pills, the hospital prescribed me because I had an ongoing headache that they said would go away in a week or so. I took my pills and then headed towards the shower. I honestly couldn't wait for the shower. It just looked so luxurious and I hadn't had a good high pressure wash in ages. I stripped my clothes off and headed into the shower. As I passed by the mirror, I sighed in relief at the sight of my bruises and cuts. I'd never be subjected to them again. They would heal properly and I wouldn't have to hide my body away out of fear of getting more or anyone finding out. I for once in my life was safe. I hope my mama's looking down on me and is proud that I finally stood up for myself and got somwhere safe. My dad and mom never had the best relationship. I think she only stayed with him because she was pregnant with me and believed I needed a father to have a full lifestyle. My dad hit my mom a lot, she thought I didnt know, but I did. Sometimes I'd hear her crying in the night, praying that one day me and her would be taken away from my dad and kept safe. Now that I'm away from my father, I've realised the underlying hatred I had for him my whole life. He used to cheat on mom too. Sometimes even in front of her. One time I came home from elementary school with mom and we saw dad making out with some hooker on our living room couch. That day I lost what little respect I had for my father, but I buried it down until now. Then there was the day we got the news of mama's passing. The way he just dismissed everything, acted like mama didn't matter. He didn't even get her buried here. My grandmother took her body back to Italy to bury her in Venice with the rest of our family. My grandmother waned to take me with her and raise me in Italy, she knew what an awful man my father was, but he refused to give up custody of me and sooner or later my grandma had to return to Italy. She wrote me letters and sent me gifts for many years, but they stopped when I was around 11. I then learnt that my grandmother had died also, she had a heart attack and it killed her. Then there was no one. I had no other family that I knew of in Italy and my father was disowned by his own family, so I was alone. I stepped into the shower and turned the water on waterfall pressure. It felt amazing. The hot water beating down on my skin and hair making me feel refreshed and clean. I grabbed my starwberry scented shampoo and began washing my hair. As I washed my hair, my mind drifted to Sin. I can't believe I kissed his cheek like that! I mean he did kiss me back on the forehead, but what if he thinks I'm a werido now. I'm pretty sure Sin only likes me as a friend, I bet there are way prettier girls he could date, richer girls he could date. Plus he's going to be a mafia boss, wouldn't I just be a burden to him. I washed the soap out of my hair and then grabbed my coconut shower gel. I admit I do have a crush on Sin, but I know I don't have a shot with him. If he asked me, I wouldn't turn him down, but since I know that will never happen I don't think on it. I finished my shower and headed to my new closet to pick out some loungewear before dinner. I decided on some grey sweatpants, a grey tank and a grey cardigan with some plush white fluffy slippers that Jenna bought me. I decided to air dry my hair so currently I had a beach waved style.
