La Rosa

Chapter 21: Holiday Chapter.

I've never slept so much in my whole life but as soon as I woke up. The whole house is crazy but I guess that's what happens in cartels but it being Christmas Eve doesn't help at all.

I see Demino and we lock eyes. He said he has a surprise for me later but since then he's been ignoring me. So maybe he's just busy.

Not like ignoring me, but secretive. But it doesn't bother me. He loves me. ME.

Maybe I should raise my standards. It's not like he actually said it.

I wish he did.

The only thing I'm scared of is he'll want to have sex and I just don't know if I'm ready for that.

What if I don't like it? What if it's like it was before? If it is and it hurts that bad then I think I'm never having sex again.

What if he leaves me because I don't want to right now?

It's Christmas I shouldn't be thinking like this.

Holiday spirit and all that bull shit.

I never liked Christmas as a kid. I never got to celebrate and god forbid I ever asked for gifts from Santa. I would always just get told I was bad this year and maybe next year. Every year it was the same thing.

I'm outside and it's even snowing a little. I loved the snow ever since I was little. I would always say the snow was a little gift from Santa. But of course now that I know he's not real and it's just Mother Nature. But still it feels special to me.

If only it could snow all the time. I think I would happy all the time. Or if it did snow all the time would it still be special since it's all the time.

I feel arms wrap around my waist and I stiffen up not realizing it's Demino but I lean back into him.

"I wish it snowed here like it does in Italy. It would make the experience a lot more enjoyable." I say and I feel his head on mine.

"Missing Italy already? Even after what they did to you?" He says almost shocked.

"Italy didn't do anything the people did." I say and he hms in response.

"I could build you a bomb and get rid of the whole amount of people there." He says jokingly, I hope at least.

"Eh, would hate to ruin the scenery." I say and turn to him so now my back is touching the balcony and my chest is touching his. "So was your surprise building me a pretend bomb?" I ask impatiently.

You would've thought I'm a patient person due to how my childhood was but I'm not. I hate waiting. On anything.

"No something better." He says smiling and grabbing my hand. We walk back inside and towards the front door.

"Something better than a bomb this must be pretty big." I say and get stares from the people we pass. Maybe I shouldn't joke in-front of people who think we aren't joking.

We walk outside and he guides me to the car. "A SUV, nice I never claimed you to get a woman a car for Christmas." I say he rolls his eyes.

"Get in the car La Rosa." I get in the front seat and I notice we don't have a driver today and Demino is actually driving.

Is this the surprise? Kidding. Mostly.

I yawn and look at the time and see it's 9. I knew I shouldn't of fixed my sleep schedule.

"You can sleep we won't be there for a while." He says and hands me a blanket he somehow found in the back. I just nod and instantly fall asleep. The blanket was like heaven.

When I wake up Demino puts a blindfold on my face so I can't see the "surprise".

We come to a stop and I hear Demino get out and open my door. "If this is your way of killing me, can you make it quick?" I say while he helps me out the car.

I tighten my jacket around my body for more warmth.

"Okay take it off now." He says stopping my body and when I take it off my mouth drops.

It's like a Christmas threw up on everything. There's lights, snowflakes, reindeer, music.

"It's..." I say trying to come up with a word to describe it. "Beautiful." I finally say and smile.

Apparently he wanted to take me here to look at stuff but in his language that basically means he's gonna buy anything I show any slight attention to.

I think I like Christmas. But only because I spent it with him.
