His Girl

17 ~ Ospiti

Courtney's POV

I wake up with a start. That was the worst nightmare I've had in ages. You're safe here. What the fuck am I thinking, I'm not safe with the fucking Italian Mafia!

I try rolling over but I couldn't move. Why can't I move? What happened?

"I see you're awake." Someone says. "How's the pain?"

"Not bad." I mumble.

"Do you want something to eat?" I open my eyes to see Luca standing near the doorway. I slowly nod.

"But what if I've poisoned it?" He chuckles.

"Then I won't be here with you anymore." I mutter. Crap did I just say that out loud? Shit! What's he going to do with me?

He walks over to me and my heart starts to beat faster and faster. He gets down on the bed and lies uncomfortably too close.

"I think you should think before you speak again, don't you think, Courtney?" He whispers in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

I nod. I feel him reach up for something and I look up to see my hand handcuffed to the bed. That's why I couldn't move.

I get out of bed and my leg feels so much better. I also realise I have some brown, Nike shorts on and a blue short-sleeve top. What did they do to my leg? Why am I dressed? Wasn't I in my underwear before? Could I escape? What am I even doing Luca's house?

I follow Luca into the kitchen. He had a stack of pancakes on the bench a with jar of maple syrup.

"Enjoy." He said as he took one. Is he only going to eat one? How the hell am I suppose to eat all these?

I grab the maple syrup and cover one with it. He can seriously cook! These are the best pancakes I've ever had! I pick up a second and cover it maple syrup. These are so nice. I think he cook better than Mum. Tears slowly filled my eyes and ran down my face. I remembered the day I found Mum was dead like it yesterday. Memories filled my head. She stormed out of the house after having an argument with my dad. I shake my head. No, I can't remember this! After having my third pancake I couldn't eat anymore. Three pancakes was pretty good. I turn around to see the back of Luca walking towards the bathroom. This could be my chance to escape.

I slide off the barstool and head for the door. I get to the door and went to open it. How dumb are these people? I run out the door and down the path. I'm out of here! Where is the police station? I need to get away from here! And fast!

My thoughts were interrupted by someone pulling my hair. I try kicking whoever had me but their grip around my hair just tightened. I was being dragged back to Luca's house! Does Luca have me? Or Ashton? Spencer? Or their Boss? He drags back in the house and threw me across the floor.

"Keep your fucking females under control!" His gruff, unfamiliar voice made me shiver. I look up to see Luca shaking his head and walking towards me.

"I thought you learnt your lesson when you got shot?" He mutters and pulls out a pair of handcuffs. "Obviously you didn't." He attaches the handcuffs to my right wrist and pulls me over to the one of the closed doors. He unlocks the door and pulls me in. He attaches the handcuffs to a rail on the side of the room.

"You better behave yourself!" He snaps and walks out of the room leaving the door open. You're such an idiot Courtney! Why did you try to escape? Now he's going to hate you! He won't care about you anymore! But did he even care about me in the first place? Probably not. Is he going to kill me? What's he going to do?
