His Touch

Can't Leave

Ella Pov

I'm literally waiting in the kitchen for about half an hour, I thought females are the one who is late. I decided to put on a pencil jeans, a grey fluffy fur jacket and my fluffy bedroom slippers. He did say put on something cozy.

"You look extra cozy."
I jumped by his deep voice, coming from behind me.

"You startled me! Your the one who said wear something cozy."

He was wearing a long sleeved vcut T-shirt and a demin jeans. I didn't wanna admit but he looked good.

He chuckled, "So I did. Now let's get going sorry for having you waiting. Had some unfinished business to attend to."

We walked out into the cold majestic night onto the garden's pathway. The moon was out and it's light lit up quarter of the garden.

We strolled without saying a word to each other only glances now and then until we stopped at a small pond.  I couldn't see anything because the moon light wasn't on this part and there won't any lights on in the garden.

As I was about to tell him about it, he spoke, "Close your eyes for one minute. Please Ella. "

Guess he said please because he knew I won't trust him enough to close my eyes when I'm surrounded by complete darkness with him.

I mean who wouldn't be scared to close their eyes in a position like this.
But I did as told.  I heard a little movement then he held my hand and walked me forward.

"Open." He told me.

I opened my eyes and was simply amazed by the lights all around the pond and in the tree near it. It made me smile a little.
Underneath the tree there was a picnic setup.

"You didn't have to." I turned to look at him. I stared at it all in amazement.

"But I wanted too. Feels good to see you smile." He smirked at me whiles taking back my hand and carrying me to the picnic he set up.

There were pasta and mini cupcakes and fruits. I was really excited my cheeks went from ear to ear but I didn't want him to see so I looked away.

"You need to stop doing that, I really love your smile and you can't keep hiding it from me." He held my face in his hand.

"Look, I know you don't expect me to be normal? All of this is overwhelming and I-I just can't. " I started to sob a little.

Honestly why the hell I'm here? I wasn't asking any questions because he's been busy but I should be asking, this is my life and I don't know what the hell he's doing  with it.

I wiped the tiny spec of tear from my cheek and took a deep breath then spoke.
"This is nice but why am I here who am I hiding from and what the hell do you do?"

"Now is not the time let's just enjoy the night. "He gestured his hand towards the picnic.

I was too concern now to eat.
"No I want yo know. Now. " I said.

He looked at me as if he was scrambling for words, "You may not want to hear this but I'm a mafia boss. I started my own mafia from scratch meaning I'm not the boss of any country yet.
I'm in charge of five cities
In the U.S and I'm soon to be in charge of Mexico and so on. It's a process."

I wasn't expecting that, honestly I don't know what I was expecting. Is he for real right now?

"What the hell. Uh-um is that why you um-I-um almost got killed?" I  didn't know how to patch the words together.

"Yes, there's a lot of people want my position and I've manage to make a lot of unknown enemies. You can't leave my sight because your not safe."

My eyes started to water again, "Why were you living in a damn appartment and looking for a roomate!?" I started to shout my face was got heated because I was boiling with rage.
When I'm angry or hurt I cry and I was both so the tears was endless.

He sighed, "That entire appartment is mines I was trying to fill it with tenants then leave, you weren't suppose to be my roomate. The guy living there I had just put him out before you came because of an issue we had. When I saw you at the door I was mesmerized by you and just went with the flow."

I didn't have words any more it was a little hard to process. Am I still dreaming? Could I still be in a coma and this is all part of the  delusion or whatever.

"This is crazy, so-so I can't leave? My life is now with you? I'm just stuck here in this prison!? " I shouted.
I couldn't calm myself.

He looked at me with pity.

"Don't look at it that way please. Everything will be fine. I promise. Your gonna enjoy it here."

"Enjoy! Pfft. When this is over can I leave? That's all I want to know. " I wiped my tears.

He answered, " No Ella, you can't. You already know what I am and to keep both of us safe you can't be just roaming the streets living a normal life."

"What the hell do you mean? So I can never leave that's what your saying?" I was about to scream.

"No Ella. The house is big enough for us to live together and never see each other. If you wish I can make you move to the west wing. I don't want that because seeing your beautiful face brings me joy. "

I didn't know how to answer.  I backed away from him, turned around and walked speedily back to the house. 

I heard him shouting my name but I kept walking.

When I reached my room I slammed the door and dropped myself on the bed.

How this could be happening to me?
I lay in bed and curled up till my eyes couldn't open anymore.

Until a loud bang on the door flew me off the bed.
