My Love

XVIII

Alessio's pov.

For the entire night, i could barely sleep. I can't stop thinking about her. I could have stopped it but i didn't.

She would have been safe if i was with her and i should have hurt that man more than i did. He needed to feel more pain.

I didn't feel like going to work today but i know serena wouldn't stay home and i really want to see her.

I quickly got dressed in my usual suits and hopped in my car.

~•~•~•~•~•Skipping the drive•~•~•~•~•

I reach to work first as usual, so i head up to my office to get some work done.

A half an hour past and i was almost done with this paperwork. I could feel a presence in the area, so u quickly looked up and saw that serena had got into work and was staring at me. She blushed when she saw me looking back at her, and she quickly turned her head.

I got up from my desk and headed over to her's.

"You know, it's not nice to stare at someone like that"  i whispered in her ear.

"I know, i just couldn't help myself." She said turning around to look me in my eyes.

"I'm sorry, for what happened yesterday" i said, placing my hand on her cheek, stroking it lightly.

"I told you already, it's not your fault"

"But if i was with you that wouldn't have happen."

"Alessio, it isn't your fault, atleast it didn't happen to a helpless girl who couldn't defend herself."

I didn't know what to say after that, so i said nothing. I pulled a chair next to her and we began to talk about everything and anything.

We bately got any work done after that, so we both decided to stay a few hours later  to finish the little bit of paperwork we have left.

It was about 6 in the evening, when we decided to head out.

I offered her a ride home, hoping she would accept, and she graciously did.

~•~•~•~SKIPPING THE DRIVE~•~•~•~

"Would you like to come in?" She offered.

"It's late, but why not" i said and drove of to park my car. I quickly came back and entered her place. I took of my jacket and hung it in the rack.

"If you didn't have your own company what was your life goal?"  she asked him as we sat down on the sofa.

 "Well honestly.........I have never thought about it. I was raised to become who I am today."  i said with a small smile.

"What about you, where would you see yourself"

"Before all this, i actually wanted to become a nurse"

"So why didn't you?" I turned my head and my eyes caught on something. Pictures of Serena. 

I placed down my coffee and quickly picked them up before she could. All of these were of her from far distances, so I highly doubt she knew when they were taken. There were even a few when she was at the club the first time I met her.

"What are these?" I asked my voice turning hard.

"Ammm...those are candid" What. I looked at her with a straight face showing her that I 100% did not believe a word coming out of her mouth. I looked at her face and I could tell she did not want to talk about it now, so I kept my mouth shut, but I WILL find our sooner or later.

"I was better at business stuff, the nurse job didn't suit me" She said, totally changing the subject.

"Are you happy where you work?" I asked, looking and waiting for her reaction.

"Yes, except i have the worst boss, he's really mean and horrible at his job"  she said and waited for my reaction.

My face fell for a bit, thinking all of that was true, but seconds later i caught on with what she was saying and a smirk of my own appeared on my face.

"Oh really?"  I questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes"

"Well i have this one employee whose really stubborn, and barely does her work, she's my assistant but i can't fire her , she's too beautiful." I said , looking into her beautiful eyes.

I began to lean in and so did she. I was finally going to kiss her.

My phone rang that same time, interrupting us.

I cursed under my breath and reluctantly pulled away, walking to the corner of the room to answer it.

"Hello"

"Hello, sir we are just calling to remind you of client that wants to see you next week."

"I know this already, my assistant told me. Next time you call and interrupt me from something i will have your job"

"Yes sir" the person on the other line of the phone said, sounding terrified.

I quickly hung up the phone and walked back over to the sofa.

Their was tension in the room and we both could feel it. She turned on the tv in an attempt to relieve the tension and it did.

A few hours later i looked over to serena and her eyes were closing. I got up from the sofa and placed a kiss on her forehead, and wishing her goodnight, saying how sorry I was for yesterday once more. I placed a blanket that was on the  chair on her and quietly left her apartment.
