Chapter 14



Since yesterday I have been thinking about that weird guy. I didn’t even have much time to worry about Luciano’s absence as all I was worried about is why the man just seemed so familiar and yet strange. I was supposed to at least know how far or fast my enrolment was going but I didn’t.

Walking into the kitchen to get something to eat, I found Luciano standing by the sink. He was holding a plate of almost finished cereal and immediately he saw me, he dropped the plate in the sink and walked toward me.

“A neighbor thought you were a one-night stand yesterday,” Luciano said.

Such insult.

Well, I didn’t say anything. I just walked past to prepare what to eat. I made sure our bodies didn’t touch at all.

“You let the stranger see what belongs to me?” Luciano said.

Silence.

There was no point having anything to say to him. Obviously, he is crazy. I can’t make him still feel like he has an effect on me when he doesn’t.

Okay, frankly! He has. I don’t see why my stepbrother would only want to do dirty things with me.

Well, I want to be that girl but not his girl.

“The old man didn’t have his glasses then so he didn’t get to see the ass of the lady that wanted to kill me yesterday and didn’t bother to apologize."

I scoffed. I rather eat mud than apologies to him. That asshole ripped me off every good thing in my life! Aren’t I supposed to maybe be at school now? Checking one thing or the other?

Fuck! I am not even sure of what I want in my life anymore.

It wasn’t as if I wanted to catch him staring, I just felt disappointed as I turned back but didn’t find him in the kitchen. For crying out loud, I just saw people being murdered days ago and the last thing I want is to keep enmity with the man that saved my life.

Microwaving the leftover pizza I found in the fridge, I didn’t even care about who ate left it. What I knew was that my stepbrother hated pizza. I just grabbed my piece and walked to the parlor. There, I found Luciano staring blankly at nothing!

“You and I would be going to see the school and the rest shit tomorrow” he informed me without looking at me.

Pssssf! Such a drama queen.

I had thought he didn’t see me. The way he kept that straight face made me wonder if he was still thinking that I really wanted to kill him yesterday.

Luciano’s gaze locked with mine for a while before a small smile spread across his face. I didn’t realize I was smiling too until his gaze moved to my chest and he frowned.

“I will make sure to get you all covered up tomorrow, I can't have more of these old men see you.”

The heck!

He had been saying old men as if he was the one who spoke to the young man yesterday. I remember his name was Massimo and no matter how much I feel like I should tell Luciano about him, I just felt he doesn't deserve to hear my voice.

"There were no old men," I said before I could stop myself.

Luciano stayed at me in amusement. It was like he didn't expect I would say something or I had been too silent for long that he forgot what I sound like.
