Valencia
The cold unfeeling assassin
A shadow, a ghost... she kills and moves on
She never sticks around for the consequences
Until she meets Adonis
And he entices her. Lures her in to his chaotic life.
And she can't resist but stay.
Adonis D...

"This is sweet" I said, looking up at him over our puddings "Mines bitter" he mumbled "No. The date Adonis. You're sweet" I said "No one would ever describe me that way" he said simply, averting his eyes
"Then let me taste you, and we can confirm or deny" I said "Stop" he warned, eyes finding mine "Why?" I asked
"Because I said so" he said "No, why Adonis? Why do you shut me down? Hm?" I asked "Because we... you're not..." "Not what?" I asked
Not good enough? "You're not sticking around. You're taking the money and leaving. You're disappearing for weeks at a time, you don't respond to my calls, how could we..." he stopped himself
"How could we what?" I asked, lowering my spoon Be together? Is that what you're going to say Adonis? Say it.
Just say it.
"Nothing" he said I deflated Nothing
"You need to be more open Adonis" I said, simultaneously putting my walls back up "I am open" he said blankly I gave him a look "What do I need to be open about?" He said defensively
I shrugged "I don't really know much about you" I said "Do you need to?" He asked back "Yes. Tell me, something" I said He thought for a long while
"I don't have anything to tell. I was like you Valencia. I didn't really do childhood" he said Valencia. It sounds so fucking good in his mouth
"Never had any friends? Never went to school?" I asked He shifted "I stopped going to school around... ten. I was earning money doing runs, I didn't need school" he shrugged
"You ran drugs" I said, he nodded "Yeah, after my mother got charged for them, you'd think I'd stay away" he chuckled sadly "But I did what I had to. And then Enzo found me" he said
"He took you in" I said "He gave me a place to stay, a job. If I hadn't met him, I'd be god knows where, probably prison" he said "That's why you... feel so much for him" I thought aloud
"Yeah. Him and Athena. They were the parents I needed. My mother was in prison. My dad was nowhere to be seen" he said "I'm... I'm sorry, that's... sad" I tried to comfort him "It's life... look at you" he said
I guess he was right If life had worked out differently, where would I be?
"Do you think I'd be... better? If I wasn't taken by the organisation?" I asked slowly He said nothing "I think I'd be... better" I said, quietly "You're... you're perfect the way you are" he said
