The Mobster's Princess

Chapter 7 - Insomnia

"Thank you for the ride, Luka" I state while unfastening my seatbelt. He was looking at the house and familiarising himself with his surroundings.

"So you're that excited to get out?" He replies, while I grab my bag.

"No, I just don't wanna feed your ego anymore than it already has been by staying in here any longer" I replied.

"Right, ok. So when am I going to see you again Leila?"

"I don't know. Im too busy with life. Goodbye" I reply and reach for the door handle, opening the car door. He reaches over and slams it shut.

"You think you can just take off like that, when I'm trying to speak to you?" He replies. "I don't know where you got the impression of thinking I'm going to put up with attitude."

"Get over it" I reply and walk out. He winded down the window, watching me walk off, crossing the road.

"See you tomorrow night Leila. And fix your attitude by then" he yelled out the window. I laughed and put the finger up, while letting myself in the house and slamming the door shut behind me.

Luka:

I didn't want to let her out of the car, but I tried to control myself. I only get this protective over the mob, I don't know why Im inserting myself in this position where I feel so possessive over this girl. 

I keep digging myself a deeper hole, whenever Im with her or even just thinking about her. I don't have time to be putting up with girls, let alone one with severe attitude and anger issues. I have to take care of one of the biggest Italian Mafia's, as my role as boss. My blood was boiling, when she thought she could have it her way and make a quick exit like that. Im not used to people not following my orders and most definitely disobedience. 

She also has no idea about the type of work I do. For all I know, I don know if she can even handle business with the mafia. What the hell am I thinking about, I don't want a girl. I don't need a girl.

Leila:

I was getting a call from Giovanna.

"Lei, i'm sleeping at the bartenders house tonight. Im so sorry I disappeared, I couldn't get through when I tried calling you, but I had your location and just saw that you got home. Is everything okay?" She asks. I started laughing at the idea of her going to the guy's house.

"Im all good gorgeous, we have so much to catch up on when you come home" I reply.

We said our goodnight's to each to each other while hopping into bed.

Is it bad if I say that I can already feel myself starting to grow feelings for Luka? I laid in bed, not being able to get him off of my mind. Lei, how can you even think about this man, let alone say you're starting to like him? He is so toxic, controlling and egotistical.

 Yes, he did save me from the creep tonight who put his hands on me, and he did make sure I got home safe. But slamming the door when I'm trying to leave, demanding me of things and trying to control me, I don't know if I will ever be able to get around it. 

I'm done with toxic men with control issues, I just want to be free, have a say and feel validated within myself.

But why does he just have this effect on me? Why did God have to bless this man with everything any girl could want - standing at 6'3 tall, built like a statue, towering over me with his perfect Mediterranean complexion that glistens off of his skin. The way his eyes are so stone cold, and having no expression worn on his face. He just radiates power, without even having to say it. I cant see past his dead eyes. They don't even show an ounce of emotion. I cant read him for the life of me, which is killing me the more I think about, because I can read nearly everyone. I'm in trouble. I need to distance myself.
