to capture a heart

regret

Vivian river

I spent the next 3 hours in my bed wondering what I did wrong. Did I react wrong? I mean what more can you say to such a story? Of course, he's probably overwhelmed by the storytelling. I wasn't mad I was upset because I missed him. His touch, his smart mouth and his gorgeous smile. I walked over to his office to see how he was doing. knock. no reply. knock.

"do you need something?" I jumped getting startled by Christian. "I was wondering where Enzo was, me and him left on a bad note" I looked at his confused face wondering what was wrong, he slightly squinted his eyes "You know.. he went back to his house because he said he didn't want to stay here, he'll only come for business" My heart fell. How could he leave me? "Okay, take me to his house" he chuckled "Let's go Vivi" I giggled as I ran downstairs to his car.

We drove an hour until we were greeted by an enormous house. Oh, this was a billionaire's home. It was matte black with a massive garage and a beautiful entrance. The entrance had a water fountain right in the middle causing an almost round-about for cars. He had a massive pool and a tennis court which I could slightly see from the angle I was at. There were plants all over the place. It was  Lorenzo Russo's home.

Before we could come in a guard approached our car "ID". Chris's jaw tensed in anger "fucking let me in, fuck your dumb ass ID shit". The guard refused to let us through so I gave my ID and Chris eventually gave his. "Dumb fucking procedure" I cringed at him knowing we have the same procedure.

The guard proceeded to ask us a couple of questions. "Name and age?" "Vivian River, 19" Chris scoffed "Christian River, 21", the guard nodded. "Reason for coming here so we can run it by Mr Russo before allowing entry".

I was about to speak until Chris hushed me smiling evilly. "Tell Mr Russo his damsel is in distress over his departure and needs urgent skin-to-skin to save her" The guard looked at Chris weirdly "Alright Mr River." The guard went to run it by Enzo. I slapped Chris's arm and scrunched my nose at his stupidness.

The gate finally opened and I went red knowing Enzo heard what bullshit came out of Chris's mouth. We were welcomed by a beautiful old lady who provided us with cold towels to wipe our heads. I used it on my arms as I had makeup on. Me and Chris walked to Enzo's office.

He was shirtless and wore some grey pants with his boxers waistband on show. His hair was wet so presumably, he just came out of the shower. Chris walked out leaving us alone. "Hey, Enzo" I walked towards him and sat near him on a little stool. "Enzo what did I do? I'm sorry if I reacted shitty to your story I was so shocked and had no clue what to say, I'm sorry if I overstepped your boundaries with that hug but I never meant it to disturb you this badly."

I was about to carry on when I felt his fingers hushing me and those same blue ravishing eyes were looking my way. His enchanting smile spread across his face. "It's me, Vivia, I can't handle love and that hug surprised me. I'm sorry I hurt you and walked off but I'm just not used to this.

You didn't react badly amore you reacted in the way most people didn't. This doesn't mean I don't love you I'll forever be yours. I didn't even know I could be loved but you love me like it's easier than breathing. It shocked me, Vivia. I don't know how to show my emotions to you but here I am. I'm sorry"

Tears started overflowing in my eyes "It's okay tesoro, I forgive you." he smiled at me "Can I get a hug but I won't walk away this time." I laughed wiping my tears and wrapping my arms around him. This felt right. The spark. The peace I felt. Like all my worries now didn't matter. The only people in this world were me and Lorenzo Russo.

This felt right. His touch on me felt right. I savoured it before he let go of me and got too overwhelmed. I lifted my head up to look at him and watched as the corner of his mouth lifted.

There is his beautiful smile. Such a pretty boy, yet such a dark past. How could anyone hit him. How could his own father get him raped?

It disgusted me even thinking about it. It hurt me knowing inside Enzo is a small boy who just wanted love from his parents. Even though he's this ruthless, murderous killer, he was still a little boy who wanted to be held in his mother's arms.

He wanted to be rocked as his mother cradled him. Although Mama was there for him, he didn't feel his own mother's love. A true mother's love differed from another mother who's attempting to love you.

I looked at his blue ocean eyes. They drowned with thoughts, blood, tears, sweat and sadness. Enzo was drowning in his own eyes yet he couldn't stop. He was too into this ruthless nonchalant behaviour that his brain taught him how to stop loving.

The thought of love killed him mentally and physically. He would feel almost weak and vulnerable.

Enzo looked at me as I broke the hug. As if he craved another hug. He wanted to stay in that position forever. "You have such beautiful eyes." I whispered against his lips.

He smiled at me, "You're so beautiful." I felt his cold breath inching closer to me. Our lips slowly meeting.

We were interrupted by Chris who walked in with popcorn in his hands. "Someone's at the door." He grumbled as Enzo groaned rolling his eyes.

"Go." I whispered. Enzo kissed my forehead and left.

How I would've regretted not doing this.
