The Other Side (A Bruno Mars Fan-Fic)

Chapter 5

Luciana's Perspective. 

I wake up not really knowing what's happened or where I am. I get up and look around the room. Oh gosh! I'm not in my house! This, cannot, be good. I get out of this strange, yet, very comfortable bed and look around the room. It's nice, modern and clean yet simple. I look in the mirror. 1, i'm not in one of my tee's and 2, im disgusting, my face dirty and in my body in pain, physically and psycologically. I just wanna know where I am. I decide to investigate my surroundings, I don't dare look out the window - sure sign of me being awake. So I just decide to walk around. I grab the unhooked lamp from the side as protection and make my way out of the room. There's a clock in the hallway. It's about 6 am. I walk around this house until I reach the lounge. I come from behind the sofa and walk around the lounge. I turn around to see Bruno asleep on the couch. Wait... Am I at his house?! No, I remember Danny hurting me. And then... I can't remember anything after that. I decide to make the most of this 'safe-house' and go and put the lamp back in the room. I walk into the bathroom and decide to take a shower. I do so and come out feeling as refreshed as I possibly could in this situation. I go back into the bedroom looking for my clothes. Nothing. Nothing of mine at all. I laughed to myself as I opened Bruno's wardrobe, there's a lot of clothes. I grab a plain, deep blue shirt and put it on. Borrowing some clean, female panties I found in a drawer, must be what one of his girlfriends left behind. There's also a spare bra or two. Okay, now it was getting strange, I took the one closest to my size, which was still a bit small so it made me look a lot bigger, but it wasn't too uncomfortable so it was bearable. Once, semi-changed I decided I would take advantage of my situation here. I walked to the kitchen, able to see Bruno still sleeping and made some breakfast. Yes, it was early, but I must have slept for hours and I was hungry. I opened the fridge and got what I needed, including some strawberries for topping. I made the batter from scratch and started cooking. I went through the cupboards and found some syrup things so I got them out as well. I probably made a dozen pancakes, so decided to save some for Bruno. Well okay, maybe he's the reason I made them in the first place but still. I set them out on the coffee table infront of him. I went back into the kitchen to clean everything up and I heard Bruno start to wake-up. I realised what he'd done for me and I needed to thank him in any and every way possible.

"Morning!"

"Uh... Hi Luciana! You alright?"

"Mmm, I've been better. Yet, I could've been a lot worse. Thank you"

"How could he do that to you?!"

"I. I think he saw us. He said I... He said I loved you, and said he'd punish me for it... BRUNO! You can NOT tell ANYONE! He said he'd come for you and that you'd be with... You'd end up with my family."

"Your family?"

"They're all dead Bruno."

"Hey, we'll sort this out okay!"

"Hmm."

"Is that my tee?"

"Yeah, sorry, there weren't any womens clothing apart from a couple of bra's and panties. So urmm, I might be in these for a bit."

"Haha, that's okay, I think they're what my sisters forgot to take home, they suit you!"

I smile slightly, why was I okay with him. I don't even know why I'm in his house...

"Did you make these?!"

"Yeah, I guess it's a little way to say thank you"

"MMMMM! These are amazing!"

"Glad you like 'em! Urm, Bruno?"

"Yeah?"

"How did I get here?"

"I found you the morning after he hurt you. That was yesturday."

"YESTURDAY?!"

"Yeah, you've been asleep for a whole day. So I decided to bring you here when I found you so that you were safe."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why help me? You're this big time star and I'm a nobody and you help me after two days of knowing me. Why?"

"You have a good heart. You were ripped of your innocence and I had to make sure that you were safe and not left in that... Position."

"You, Bruno, are the one with the good heart. You help a stranger, basically. You even, you came back and found me. Why did you come back?"

"When you didn't turn up to the presentation I knew something was wrong. I should never have left you"

I walk over and sit next to him.

"Hey, it's not your fault. At least Danny's gone now."

"Yeah. That kiss was good though."

"Haha, very funny!"

"I'm serious!"

"Hm... So Bruno, tell me how I can thank you! I need to do something for you today to show you how much I appreciate everything yo-"

I was cut off, mid-sentence. Bruno had slid in closer to me and kissed me again. This time it was better, it made me safe and that if I stayed with him I would be okay. He moved his hand to my waist and held me close. I naturally resumed my position with my hands beginning to feel his thick, curly afro. I never wanted to let go and I felt like my love for Danny had gone in an instant and Bruno had replaced him. It was strange. I fell for him almost straight away and I felt that as long as I was with him. No harm would come to me, and Danny would never bother me again. And although I felt like that, I knew it wouldn't last long. Danny would be back for me and Bruno and he wouldn't be happy if he knew Bruno had found me after what he had did to me. I knew this 'happy stage' wouldn't last forever.
