Alyssa Daniels thought she wasn't going to survive the night she decided to go for a late night swim. Alone, so she thought, went out for a swim in a nearby lake. As she swam, she heard gun fire close by in the woods. She looked closer as a figure w...
I woke up and slightly sat up when Matteo gently pulled me back into him closer. I laid my head back down and he put his arm over my waist while I was still shocked that he was being so nice when he treated everyone else like shit. I looked at his tattoos while he settled back to sleep and eventually ended up tracing them.
"What are you doing?" I slightly jumped and looked back at him to see his hair a mess and his sleepy eyes looking back at me. He rolled over and got out of bed and headed to his bathroom. Soon, he walked back out with his toothbrush in hand and sat on the edge of his bed.
"I'm taking you out to go shopping today, so go get ready" He gave me a small smile before standing back up and walking into his bathroom again. I walked into my room and put on a black mini skirt and and light pink sweater with black boots. I started curling my hair in my room while listening to music and noticed Matteo standing in the doorway.
"How long have you been there?"
"Just a few minutes" I watched as his eyes flashed across my body before looking back at his cellphone. I finished and laced up my boots before heading over to Matteo. We headed outside to his car and I quickly and eagerly hopped into the passenger seat.
"Can we get snow cones later?" I watched as he quietly laughed and agreed after we pulled out of the driveway. I rolled down the window and breathed in the air that I missed so dearly. We got lunch and then made our way to the mall and the other stores Matteo wanted to go to. I was repeatedly looking at Victoria's Secret while we were walking around the mall and unfortunately he noticed.
"You keep looking at that store, do you want to go?" I looked between him and the store opening and shook my head. He grasped my wrist and lightly pulled me inside. Handing me his credit card, he nodded his head in approval before pulling his phone out and joining a call from someone. I looked around the store and picked out some perfume, bras, panties, and a couple of lace lingerie teddies.
"I'm going to try these on" Matteo looked down and bite his lip before nodding. He stood outside my stall and waited while still in his phone call. He carried all of the shopping bags for me and took me to a store full of expensive dresses.
"I'm going to pick out your dress"
"For what?" I followed him around as he called over the employees.
"We're going to a ball on our trip"
"Wait, like in princess movies?"
"Yes" I wanted to squeal but there was a lot of people surrounding us. He gave the employees instructions on what type of dress to look for me. Each employee was to find ten dresses each for me to try on and I knew we were going to be here forever. All of the dresses were black, they were beautiful but not me, and eventually I got tired. I pulled Matteo into the dressing room and asked to pick out my own dress.
"Please?"
"I have to approve of it, but yes" I squealed and ran out into the massive store. I looked around for over thirty minutes searching for the perfect dress. I stopped and stared at a beautiful red dress while the employee following me checked for my size. She met me in the dressing room and I walked out in front of Matteo. I watched as his eyes went from the floor, to the bottom, to the top of my dress, and then to my face. He immediately stopped talking and hung up his call before standing up to walk over to me. He lifted his finger and motioned for me to do a spin and I did as told.

"Well? How do I look?" His hand was covering his mouth and he paused before answering.
"Perfect. This dress on you is absolutely breathtaking! How much is it?" He turned to the employee with his card in hand while another ushered me to the dressing room. I walked back out and watched as an employee handed Matteo my dress. I walked up to him and attempted to grab some bags to help him out. He declined and I rolled my eyes, but decided to just let him carry all of them.
"So how much was the dress?"
"Only $5,000" I stopped dead in my tracks completely taken aback by how causally he said that.
"Excuse me? Put it back, oh my god" I started to turn around, but was stopped by Matteo grabbing my wrist.
"This isn't even the tip of the iceberg, love" He slid his hand around my waist after two guys collected all the bags and led me back to his car.
"Snow cones?" I asked anticipating a yes and he nodded making me celebrate. We looked over the many many flavors and tried to decide on what to get. I decided to get sweet cherry and he got tiger's blood. We sat under the umbrella and I dug my spoon into my cup before holding it out for Matteo.
"What?" He looked confused and I furrowed my brows.
"Try it" He gave me a weird look but opened his mouth and tried it. He offered his to me, but I know I didn't like the flavor and declined.
"How do you not like it?"
"My sister likes it, I tried hers and it wasn't good..." I stabbed my spoon in the leftover slush while thinking about my sister. Sighing, I set my cup down and just watched as a couple unloaded their kids out of the car and walked them to the counter.
"Come on, I have one more gift for you at home" I followed him back to the car after throwing our cups in the trash. I followed him into my bedroom and noticed a brand new phone and computer laying on my bed.
"Are these mine?"
"Yeah, the only thing you can't say is my last name, our location, or what I do. Can you do that for me?"
"Yeah, I can"
"Your contacts are all in there for you" I thanked him and just laid on my bed while dialing my sister.
Matteo's POV~
I waited outside her room after cracking her door. I heard the phone ringing and it picked up on the first dial and I heard her pause. She called out her sister's name and then came a lot of crying. I smiled a small smile before heading towards my office to check up on how our business trip schedule was going. After a couple hours of working, I noticed the silence coming from Ally's room. I went to knock on the door, but it opened before I could open it. I looked down at Alyssa who was wearing a large shirt and slippers, her hair was tied up into a messy bun and I cleared my throat.
"I was just coming to check up on you. You alright?"
"Yeah, I was just going to get some water and a snack"
"Oh, alright. If you need anything just come in my office and ask, okay?" She nodded and we departed ways.
