Snap! • Stefano Valentini x Reader

VIII

We finish the photoshoot in the evening, or atleast that's what I think since it's dark outside. But again, was it always dark out there?

I didn't say nor ask anything to Stefano about what I heard. I want to but I'm afraid to hear the answer.

I keep my mouth shut, not bothering to ask him anything about that for one, two, or maybe three weeks long.

I take my time to observe him, each and every hour I feel like I become more attached to him. I also noticed something. He seems rather... Lonely.

I sit on a chair in the balcony, staring at the world collapsing.

'How long has it been since that day?'

I sigh, remembering the me from a few weeks ago. It hasn't been that long but I changed a lot. Everything changed.

I rarely see Stefano this week but atleast I got a little cute girl to keep me company. She said her name is Lily. I often visit her in the basement, where Stefano lock her. She always seems so happy whenever I came.

Stefano asked me not to go to the basement though, so I have to do it in secret.

I snap out from my own thoughts when I feel someone caress my cheek softly.

"What are you doing out here? The weather's pretty chilly, you should get inside," said Stefano.

I do as he told.

'Since when I'm this obedient to him? What has came to me? Is it because I saw that side of him?'

A few days ago I saw Stefano staring at his own creation. Sadness filled his eyes. I couldn't help but approached him.

"Stefano?" I called out, his back facing me, "Is there something wrong?"

Slowly he turned around and before I knew it he hugged me. So tight as if I will disappear once he let go.

"Please... Don't leave me alone"

He whispered.

It took me off guard. I didn't knew what's going on but somehow... My heart ached to see him like that.

I'm not so sure of myself now.

Have I gone mad?
