Bloody hands [UNEDITED]

chapter 8

I woke up feeling quiet fresh, the warm pillow is so comfy. Opening my eyes I realized it was not a pillow, it was Curtis, still in his arms, his wide awake soft brown eyes roaming all over my face. Our face were so close, I had the sudden urge to kiss him, who wouldn't like getting up everyday beside this man. I didn't kiss, of course. I jolted up remembering all the things happened last night. My pupils were kind of shaking. He sat up as well, the shirt he wore last night was gone somehow "lifeline" He called me, I was so used to this nickname of his that I didn't even argue anymore, I looked back at him. His eyes were trying to search for something, not found He huffed.

I was sitting at the edge of the bed, swinging my legs to get off the anxious silence. "Lifey" He back hugged me, now I'm sitting between his legs. I needed a hug, and his soft voice was so soothing at that time "I want you to listen to my explanation very carefully before saying or concluding anything ok?" He wanted to explain? His behavior last night? I just stayed silent, taking that as a yes he continued "this underground life is very dangerous, a small wrong step and death will be knocking at your door. Being the head of a mafia clan, I have a lot of enemies, a LOT. Everyone will try to kill me, you being my savior, they are just looking for a chance for you to make a wrong move, so please, I beg you, please, don't do anything without telling me, I don't beg to anyone love, but I'm to you. Also I know these blood sheds are not very pleasant, I'll try to keep you away from this as away as possible, but that also means there will be times you witness some cruel things. Don't run away from me, tell me, I'll stay with you to make those memories dissappear" his grip tightened on mine, it was so comfortable.

I nodded in a yes "I was too scared yesterday, I know you explained this to me before, but at that moment, I just , I don't know..." I trailed off, at first his touches were so irritating, but as days passed, it became so natural that if he wasn't around, my heart would crave for his touch.

"Okay, enough of that, go freshen up, let's eat some breakfast" He went to his bathroom , before that he unlocked the door of course. I went outside the room, just down the corridor I met with a very worried Lexi "are you OK?" One wouldn't say she was worried, there was almost no expression, but her voice gave it away. Opening my arms, I went for a small hug "yeah, sorry for making you worried" she denied my claim.

After freshening up, I wore lazy shorts and hoodie. Lexi was already sitting on the dining table before I reached, some time went and Curtis was there too. We were surved by the house keeping staffs. " I'm on a mission today" Lexi announced " you don't need my permission, just take what you need Lex" her nod was short, from what I learned, she loves small talk but is very affectionate, her other colleagues respect her. Now looking at Curtis, I can surely tell, I'm intrested in him, as in love interest, if you ask me why? I can't answer like how other describe. I just can't put my finger, why do I like him?. I just don't know.

I hope this small crush soon goes away. His world and my world are too different, I can't stay here forever, I have a life. Just have to wait for him to settle everything, and I'll be gone from here.

I hope that day comes soon. Atleast before me falling for him. Please, let me live normally.
