to capture a heart

mine

Vivian river

I stared at Lorenzo for a while until I parted my mouth to speak yet no words came out. Speechless. "It's okay if you don't have an answer Vivia" I blinked at him a couple of times until I finally made my decision "I want you to be mine." I gulped waiting for his answer. One leg shaking up and down anticipating what his answer will be. "Then I'm yours Vivia." he smiled at me. With that same pretty smile.

"But Dad and Chris will kill you" he scoffed "You're 19 they can't control who you date you're not a baby" I hummed in response putting my head on his shoulder. I felt him flinch a tiny bit noticing how he was never given love, he wasn't used to this.

I took his hand and we walked back home in complete silence. I could tell he was adjusting to me loving him. He didn't believe anyone could love him because of his parents. I was going to prove him wrong, so wrong.

We arrived home holding hands to see Chris right outside staring at us enraged. "Why the fuck are you both holding hands?" I gulped going backwards and letting Enzo speak "I can't hold hands with my girl Chris?" Christian stared at Enzo for a while until he nodded "Hurt my sister ill fucking chop your head off and send it to your uncle" Enzo chuckled "If anything she'll hurt me"

Chris looked at me for a while before smiling and walking to fi. Enzo took me up to my room and was starting to walk out "No, stay" he looked at me surprised. "Okay," he sat down next to me on my bed staring at me. "You know instead of staring we could talk like normal people" I giggled. He didn't stop staring. His deep blue majestic eyes that I drowned in every time he looked at me.

I suggested we watch a movie. I put on my favourite movie, Moana. He found it childish but he still watched the movie. We tucked up in bed with popcorn and watched. I caught him staring at me a couple of times "Enzo watch the movie not me" he laughed "You're a better view" I turned to him squeezing his cheek and forcing his head towards the TV. Didn't work he's too strong. I sighed loudly as we decided to talk throughout the movie instead.

"Enzo I need to know more about you, tell me what's your favourite colour?" without any thought he quickly replied "black." interesting. "What's yours?" I thought for a while "Sage green"

"What's your favourite food?" again without any thought he replied "Any Chinese food" I laughed "Mine's a-" he interrupted me "A burger." I looked at him lost for words, why did he know that? Surely I didn't tell everyone. "You cried to your brother at school one day that Adri ate your burger" he chuckled at my stupidity. I didn't cry I did pull Adri's hair though.

A couple minutes later Chris walked in with a bag filled with food, "Enzo your food is here." He placed the bag beside Enzo. I started to get all giddy as I smelt chicken. ouhhhh I'm excited!

He emptied out the bag and I saw a massive burger alongside chips, coke and cucumbers. cucumbers huh..?

He ordered himself some chinese alongside a bunch of sides. "Thank you Enzo I really appreciate this!" I opened the burger and placed my chips near it. I started to eat realising Enzo was gazing at me.

I went red in embarrassment and set my food down. He smirked at picked a chip up and fed me, "Don't stop eating because I'm looking at you." I scrunched my nose

"I hate when people stare at me when I eat, I feel like a right fatty." He chuckled at that and shook his head. We both turned back to the movie saying out food.

"She's so dumb just fucking sail." Enzo yelled at Moana which caused me to giggle at his sudden enthusiasm. I gazed at him as he watched the movie with a tensed face and body.

I layed a finger on him causing him to slightly jump and stare at me. His body tensed even more at my touch. I started to trace my finger up and down his bicep and I watched how his focus averted from me to my finger.

His body started to relax a little. He started to glance at me every now and then. I could literally feel his body relax. He was always so tensed up, I don't understand why.

I smiled at him and he just stared back. I turned my head back to the film but I felt his burning stare on my face. My heart started thumping, scared for Enzo to react. Possibly in a bad way.

"Enzo are you okay?" I whispered.

Lorenzo Russo

"Enzo are you okay?" Vivia whispered. My heart fell to my knees. I've never been asked if I was okay. Not one person has ever asked whether I was okay.

And no I wasn't fucking okay. I hated this shit. So so so fucking badly. I stared at her with my same unphased face. She looked down at my lips then back at me multiple times trying to start me off.

My jaw tensed. I wasn't okay. I wanted to say no but I couldn't. I don't show emotions like I'm some fucking female. I'm no bitch and even if I tell this girl I'm not what would she do?

She would react as everyone else does. She'd pity me and baby me. no she fucking won't. She has a pure heart Lorenzo, she's too sweet. She's your sunshine you've been searching for your whole life. Tell her.

I glared at her. She was expecting a reply from me. My heart started to thump loudly, gaining speed. I rolled my tounge in my mouth and cleared my throat.

"Wanna know about my past Vivia?" She gulped knowing it was going to get dark real fast. She nodded slowly as we both got comfortable.
