Stolen And Shattered Dreams

chapter11

My neck hurt as I shifted and my eyes started opening slowly .
I slowly started to open my eyes wider and then I saw Antonio sitting at the edge of my bed but he was busy looking at something on his laptop.
I sat up and silence and tension hovered .
Across the bed I could see in the mirror my reflection .
My eyes puffy and red from sleep and crying .
He closed his laptop and set it aside and the faced me .
"Enjoy your nap?"
I picked at my eyes and the then yawned .
"So ,you're probably wondering why I'm in your room ,but don't worry I won't be long . You decided to walk out on our conversation I just came back to finish it since I didn't appreciate the way you left abruptly "

My silence represented the shame I felt .

The room filled with tension and then he headed to my side of the bed and I panicked ,my body crawled deeper into the covers .
"I think ...Antonio please just leave me alone ."

But that didn't stop him .
He sat on my side and the bed shifted with his weight .
"I don't think that's going be happen ,but Scarlet this isn't a choice ,I don't have time for choices so you are gonna have deal with the situation right now ."
His hand brushed the side of my cheek smoothly and leaned into his touch subconsciously .
"We have to leave in two days ,its important to me that I have your cooperation because if not...", he continued.

" I don't want this ,please",I begged .

But instead was on his feet and he was heading to the door and the stooped and said ,"Goodnight ,Scarlet "

I shrunk into bed and sobbed as my body felt pain that didn't bruise ,as my brain was traumatized by my own self ,as the reality I lived in turned against me and the shadows caught up .
I fell into a sobbing sleep.

Knock knock

"Go away !", I murmured in my sleep as the knock on the door grew louder ,but I didn't stop .
" Leave me alone !",I said louder ,I eyes still shut .

The door opened and the covers were slowly being pulled off my body and cold crept onto my body like snake.
I opened my eyes and I sat up immediately.
"Sorry ", I said yawning .
Antonio looked at me with a lazy smile with a black shirt and jeans ,his hair was messier then usual .
" I was gonna wake up ",I continue to mumble .

He raises his index finger to his lips and says ," shh "

I do as instructed and words seize to leave me mouth .

He sits on the bed beside me and looks into my eyes ,he leans in and brushes his hand on my cheek ,his smile growing wider and genuine before his lips touch me .

I wake and shoot up straight gasping for breath ...a dream .
I look at the wall clock and its 11:45am
.

Damn

I look around and make my way to bathroom and do my hygiene and get into  a grey shirt and black vest and flops.

I head for the door and it opens before I do .

"Going somewhere?",Stefano says to me .

I shake me head ,lying .

" Its okay ,Anton wanted to see you "

I nod following him .

He leaves me at the door and I entre ,Antonio is on the phone with a gun on his desk ,his face expressionless and then my heart beats a bit quicker as I stand by the door .

"24 hours no later or else ", he says hanging up .

" Sit ",he says without even glancing at me .
I do as told .
