Rischio (BWWM)

24. Guiltily

Marching back to my room I ignored to looks Gray was sending me. I couldn't think at the moment and if I opened my mouth, I would create a language of cuss words. The gardeners only sent me a mere glance of attention and kept working.The maids bowed as I marched passed them, anger searing hot inside me, seeping through my pores. Even the ache in my feet didn't stop me, as I stomped back across the estate to me very own place. I was determined to get the feel of Mar off me once and for the time being.

"Shannon! Shannon please slow down! What did he say? What happen? What's wrong?" Grayson said desperately trying to keep up with me. At this point I was running. I could almost taste the saltiness I was throwing at Gray but I couldn't be sorry about it, not now. Mariano had me in such a fucked up mood I just wanted a hot shower and get sleep in my bed that felt like paradise.

Reaching my part of the estate I stopped running and pounced up the stairs and swing my door open gritting my teeth. Looking in to my new room, / apartment, whatever it's mine, her familiar face brought tears to my eyes own and I struggled to take my next breath. It's was the moment you get ready to give your life and someone saves you.

"Ella!?!" I cried out with great joy. Even with my lungs out of breath, they still managed to release a soft cry of their own. Rushing to her, I wrapped my arms around her and squeezed the life out of her.

"Oh how I have missed you big sister." She cried into my shoulder. Tears soaked my shoulder but I could care less, after the  nightmares and all those nights of no sleep she was finally right in front of me. Even with her irritating formal talk, I couldn't help but thank God for placing her where I am.

"Look at you. Oh God I missed you. Are you okay? No one has hurt you, have they? How are you here?" I questioned wiping streams of tears away from my eyes. Looking at her face again, I couldn't help but feel so much better that she was here now.

"I'm fine. In fact I have been in Italy for quite sometime. I have been trying to get that beast, Mariano, to get you over here for the longest. But his bitch ass gonna say you wasn't ready." She said popping a hand on her hip. Laughing I hugged her again and pulled her to my room. "And I was like 'ready for what?'"

"Shannon, for God sake, what the hell-" He paused standing in the door of my room, "Hello." He said setting his face in stone. Rolling my eyes, I stood up motioning for him to come in.

"Grayson this is my sister Ella and Ella this is my bodyguard Mr. Grayson Kelly." I said

"Why didn't I get a Ms. Ella Ivory." She said before giggling and sticking her hand out for Gray to shake it. Relaxing he shook it.

"Well it is a pleasure meeting you Ms. Ivory." He said before bowing his head lightly. Rolling my eyes I smiled walking back over to the bed and sat down as my sister followed me.

"I will tell you later what's been up but right I gotta talk to my sister." I tell Gray before he closes the door. With his head still peeked in, he smiled.

"Over Chinese?" He asked and I nodded excitedly. I love Chinese food. It is my soul. Laughing he closed the door.

"Are you and him like a thi-" I shook my head quickly cutting off her question like an obsessed ex.

"Nope he is just my bodyguard." I said causing her to bust out laughing.

"Well he can guard my body." She laughed even harder wiggling her eyebrows.

"Oh God no, what happened to my little sister." I pulled her head to my chest, crying out but laughter was still heavy in my voice.

"I don't know but I wanna talk." She said giggling slightly at me. Letting her go I sat up straight and waited.
