His Girl

59 ~ Riuniti

Courtney's POV

Hurt.

Upset.

Angry.

Devastation.

But mostly angry. How could he do this to me?

All my emotions quickly turned to angry and hatred. I storm past Ben and head over to him. I slap his face before he could say anything.

"Well I suppose I deserved that," he mumbles pulling me into a hug. "I've missed you so much Courtney."

"I've missed you too. So, so much," I mumble into his shirt. I pull back and look into his dark green eyes. "But I still strongly dislike. You can't just leave me in the dark like that. You disappeared for I don't even know how long. I seriously thought you were dead. You just got wiped off the face of the earth."

"I'm so sorry sorella minore. So, so, so sorry. I just had to die for a couple of years and then I just moved on. You would of been in to much danger if I came back into your life." He runs his hand through his black hair and sighs. "I'm just so sorry." How does he know Italian? And how would he know I understand Italian? (Translation: younger sister)

"It's ok Lucas. It's seriously ok. You're back now and that's all I could ask for. Especially on Boxing Day. It's been a pretty good Christmas." Apart from nearly being shot and then killing him, it was fine.

"Well I'm glad you enjoyed your Christmas present," Ben whispers in my ear, making me shiver.

"Oh Ben don't creep up on me again. You nearly gave me a heart attack."

"Sorry la bella addormentata." (Translation: sleeping beauty)

"How do you know about that nickname?" I ask, gently punching his arm.

"I know everything Courtney," he says giving me a wink. He winked at me? What? What is going on?

Lucas clears his throat and I look back over at him. "Can you guys finish your flirt sessions or get a room?"

"Oi! I have a 'boyfriend' so I can't go 'flirting' wi-"

"WHAT?"

Before I could react, Lucas snatches my arm and pulls me out of the room and back into the main room. He pulls me past all the crowds of people and outside. Well this is going to go well.

"You've got a what?" He finally says.

"I haven't really got a boyfriend. Come on Lucas I was just joking. Can't you take a joke anymore?"

"Who?"

"No one. I was j-"

"Who?"

"I was sayi-"

"WHO!?"

"God Lucas can you just calm your farm? I was just joking. I was even thinking about anyone in particular at the time. I was joking. You know jokes. People laugh at them." God, where has my annoying, idiot, hilarious brother gone? He would be normally laughing his head off at this. Oh God. Where has Lucas gone?

"I'm sorry Courtney but these people are dangerous. I just don't want you having any connections with them."

"Well it's a bit late for that, isn't it? I've already had a shitload of connections with them. I can't help if I'm developing feelings for one of them." His eyes grow wide and I realised I said too much. Before he could reply I storm off.
