The banging at my door is what woke me.
It's not the 'anybody there' knock. No. It's the 'I know your in there, open the fucken door' knock.
I groan into my pillow and get up.
Who the hell is it?
I take a quick glance at the clock on the stove when I pass by it.
Seven am.
Groaning again, because it's too damn early.
Shit! The fucken neighbors are going to call the cops, if the person who his hitting the door doesn't shut the fuck.
I don't bother checking my peephole.
Well, shit. I should have checked it first. I think to myself once I open the door.
My whole body stiffens. My mouth drops open and I can already feel a headache coming, as I stare at the person standing there. "What the fuck do you want?" I ask. "And what the hell are you doing here?"
The sleepiness from a second ago is gone. Tanner, my ex boyfriend, steps into my apartment without permission. "please," I gesture around my apartment. "make yourself at home." I tell him dryly.
"Don't mind if I do." He says. He goes straight to the living room and sits down on my torn up red sofa, then puts his feet up on my coffee table.
"Do you want me to wipe your ass while your making yourself at home too?" I ask, rolling my eyes.
Tanner chuckles. "oh, how I missed you, Bree." I grit my teeth and cross my arms over my chest.
"I don't know why you're here, but I want you out. now!" Of course, yelling at him doesn't affect him. Fucken asshole. His eyes travel down my body slowly. And that's when I realize I'm only wearing a white, see through, shirt without a bra and with my black panties
Tanner sits there looking at me like he wants to rip my clothes off. He licks his lips, and I know full well what that tongue can do.
Oh, Jesus.
"I see that I still have an affect on you, sweet cakes." Tanner says, smirking. Snapping out of my dirty mind I glare at him.
"Sit. We have a lot to discuss." He says, patting the spot next to him.
"We" I say, lifting my eyebrows and pointing back and forth between us. "have nothing to discuss. You broke up with me six months ago. Why you're here, I don't give a shit. I just really want you out of my apartment and out of my life." I feel my hands and body shaking from anger.
How dare he just come back out of nowhere, pretty much demanding we talk?
Tanner stands and walks towards me. I have to look up at him. He's always been tall. Even as kids I would always have to look up.
"I'm..." He thins his lips. He only does that when something bad has happened. "I got myself into...something..." he trails off, avoiding my gaze. I frown and narrow my eyes at him. He closes his eyes. "I need your help. I know I've been an ass. And I deserve for you to treat me the way you are right now." He opens his eyes and looks at me. I can see the regret in them. Funny thing is: it's bullshit. I know all this is just an act to get me to help him.
He grabs my hands. His breathing becoming heavier by the second. "You're the only one I trust." I move away from him. "Please." He says. His eyes begging. His beautiful green eyes never once leaving me. "You know I wouldn't come here if it wasn't an emergency. I fucked up. I fucked up. I fucked up. I need you now more than ever Bree."
I furrow my eyebrows and chuckle mostly to myself. Because how many times did I tell him that I trusted him?
How many times did I tell him that I trusted him.
All lies.
All bullshit.
I touch my heart because that pain of thinking of the man that I love I can feel it all over me. I shake my head as to clear it.
None of that.
I look back at Tanner and take a moment to actually look at him. Those green eyes of him is what caught my attention the first time I met him. His heart is what got me to fall in love with him. Well I thought it was love. Tanner has dark circles under his eyes as if he hasn't slept in months. His once nice haircut is outgrown. What catches my attention the most is his weight loss. His face is slimmer.
I let out a slowly low breath. One hand going to my hip and the other brushing down my hair.
"Please say something. Anything." Tanners says getting me out of my thought.
"What did you do?" I ask cautiously, looking back up at him.
I hold my breath because I know what's coming out of his mouth the next second he speaks.
God, I hope he didn't do what I think he did.
"I, uh," he scratches the back of his head. "Borrowed money from, Adriano Russo. Again." I feel all the blood rush from my face.
You've got to be kidding me.
"You didn't."
"I did." He mumbles, frowning.
"Oh, god no." I move far away as I can from him, afraid. "The mafia" I whisper, backing away from him as far as I could.
I guess you can't avoid them.
Eventually they come back.
They always come back.
He always comes back.

But I hope all you end up liking this story : )
Grazie.
