"You can't do this" I stepped backwards shaking my head in disbelief at him "we both know what I am capable of Tesoro" he said as he was taking slow but long strides towards me "I don't want this...you can just kidnap me and Marry me while I was unc...
It's been quite a busy week. Registering for college and then the admission process has all been so hectic.
This new place has been a drastic change in my life. I am more social now, all thanks to Mia, She is a socialite. I am still learning to be more social but being an introvert I prefer my circle to be as small as possible.
People here know me as Mia's cousin and I hate her for being so popular in her neighbourhood. "I want you ready by 6 o'clock", turning around I found Mia glaring at me. "What do....? She cuts off "We are going to meet the guys" my mind went straight to Vincenzo. This whole week has me so busy that I totally forgot about him and when the last meeting with him hit my mind all I feel is the desire to see him.
I know it very well that he is out of my league there is no match at all but I really felt like seeing him. It's weird but I guess I am not the first to feel this way about him.
"I will meet you down stairs, need to complete my assignment" without giving me a chance to say yes or no she went out of the room. Sighing I went to my wordrobe. Grabbing a pair of trousers and blouse I went straight to the shower.

(Katharina's outfit)
We were sitting in "la passione" and the vibe is soothing among the nicest bunch of people I have come to know few weeks ago. It has been half an hour since Mia and I reached at Vincenzo's restaurant but the owner is no where to be seen. What was I thinking huh!? He must be busy or hanging out with someone maybe.
"We have come to know that you have been talk of the neighborhood" Luca broke my chain of thoughts. "What?" I looked at Mia who was nibbling Luca's neck sitting on his lap. "Mia's ex approached you?" I snapped hard at Mia "argh.. yea kind of" I gave a half smile to Luca. I don't like people talking about me I know Luca is a nice guy and Mia loves him but still I don't like the fact that she told him about that idiot. The only thing I am hating about this neighborhood is the attention I am getting from random guys.
"Guess you are enjoying the popularity" Jason cocked his brow at me. "Who is enjoying the popularity?" A similiar steely voice made me jump in my seat. He is here in all his glory wearing that devilish smirk. My heart immediately raced at the sight of him. I am sure I would be looking like a Dumbo at the moment.
"Katharina has become quite popular in the neighborhood" Jason answered him. "Ohhh no no it's nothing like that, beside I don't like attention" I found myself talking too fast. Vincenzo sat down on the chair exact opposite to mine. "And why so? Everybody likes attention and as much as I know girls love attention". He was looking straight into my eyes and then his gaze slides down to my cleavage I choked on my breath even before saying anything suddenly feeling hot as if his eyes have some power radiating from them.
"She is not the usual type" Mia mocked speaking for the first time in an hour. I looked at her angrily already pissed for being a news reporter everywhere. "There is nothing like "me getting popular" it's just that I am new here so people have been friendly with me all thanks to Mia" I explained taking a deep breath at the end.
"So when are you shifting Vincenzo? Mia asked breaking our stare at each other. "By tomorrow evening" , "wow, I am so happy that you are shifting in our neighborhood, we can meet more often right?"
What? he is shifting in our neighborhood but how come? I don't think he would be comfortable here at all. "I will text the address to all of you, we will have a get-together at my new place" he said while turning his head towards me. He was constantly looking at me like a hawk. I felt uncomfortable after a few minutes and dropped my gaze from him while he was still staring at me. I felt some sort of tension between us.
Suddenly he gets up and walk towards me. He took a seat next to me looking straight into my eyes "I want to ask you something" keeping my nervousness aside I nodded my head in approval. "Did Mia's ex Dante blocked your way on the road?" I looked at him surprised . 'How do you know about this"? "You answer me when a question is asked, alright?' He mocked me that made me gulp and I just nod my head in response to his stern tone. "Good! Now, answer" few minutes ago he was looking so calm and right now all I can see is coldness in his eyes. This coldness is scary, but somehow I managed to speak up. "Y..yes, he b...blocked my way on the road.". "You were alone?" "Yes, I was going to college for admissions and he stopped me outside Mia's apartment."
He cursed lowly. "You will let me know if he is around you, I'll handle it". I couldn't understand why is he behave like this. "Ohh, no it's its just fine I am good you don't have to get into it, beside you must be having a lot of things way more important then this" I gave him a small smile positively. He leans forward in his chair, bringing his head a few inches away from mine looking into my eyes with a clenched jaw. "Keeping the dickheads away from you is the most important thing to me"
I couldn't respond, He shocked me. why he said that? I mean yes we know each other and things are good between us but I was surprised to hear that statement.
He leaned back in his chair never loosing his stare on me as if reading my face. " I can handle it myself" I tried being as stern as possible. "YOU ARE GONNA TELL ME IF HE COMES ANY NEAR YOU" he raises his voice and everybody's attention is on us right now "and let me make it clear for you to understand that this isn't an offer it is a command". I was taken back by his rudeness I could see veins on his head popping out, anger evident on his god like face. Gulping, I nod my head in approval. "I need words tesoro" he clenched his jaw tighter, I looked at mia who is currently as scared as I am. "I will let you know if Dante comes near me" I said looking at him in the eyes that are blazing with anger right now.
My throat felt heavy, I could burst out in tear anytime I couldn't handle his death glare on me. I felt so weak and Vincenzo made me feel like that.
