His Mafia Queen

Chapter 11

"What are you doing? I thought I told you to stay put" He gritted out, seething in anger.

"I was thirsty. I needed a drink" I explained feeling guilty.

I put my head down, tears threatening to come out of my eyes.

"What if something happened to you?" he growled at me.

"What could happen to me? I didn't drink and I'm surrounded by people. Not likely to being kidnapped now" I giggled, but his expression made me halt in my steps.

"I am sorry" I apologized, though I had no idea why I did.

"Just listen to what I say here on" he demanded and stepped closer to me as if he was protecting me from someone.

I stared at him. He was way too protective for someone whom I knew for a few hours. Yet, I loved the way he was. His protectiveness was too hot for me to handle. I didn't want to get my hopes up. I don't even know for sure if he is truly interested in me. Let's see where this takes me.

"What are you thinking?" He asked, studying my face.

"You" I replied honestly.

"Well, as much as I am happy to hear that your thoughts are filled about me. I do worry what are the thoughts you have? Is it something that I should worry about?" he asked with concern, yet in a playful tone.

"Maybe" I replied playfully, not looking at his face, silently giggling at thought of what his reaction might be.

"Now I am truly concerned," he said, tilting my chin up to face him.

"Tell me. What is it?" he asked softly making sure not to frighten me.

"I don't know. I feel this is too fast. I mean look at us. Behaving as if we've known each other for long, yet the truth is we hardly know each other. Honestly speaking, I feel comfortable and safe with you. It's exciting yet terrifying at the same moment. My feelings are all over" I ranted my thoughts out making him smile.

As I said, any girl would fall at his feet, just because of his gorgeous smile and I felt a twist in my heart thinking about him with other girls.

Oh, God! What the hell is wrong with me? Feeling jealous over a man whom I barely know... I should get my thought together.

I composed myself and asked him" Why are you smiling?" I pouted in frustration making his smile grow wider.

I just blinked at him like a clown, unable to take any more of his antics, I hit him with my arms hoping he would feel a bit. To my surprise his chest was so hard, my hands started paining a bit.

Now he was full-on laughing. At first, it was a sight to behold, but later on, the people around us started to gawk at him, stopping what they doing. I felt embarrassed and I tried getting his attention but he was busy laughing. So I walked closer to him, giving small smile and waving to the bystanders. As I neared him, I tugged at his sleeves actioning him to look towards the people. As soon as he saw them staring, his expression soon turned into a glare making everyone go back to what they were doing.

"Let's dance," He said pulling me to the dance floor.

He held me by my waist. Our close proximity has started to have an effect on. Might I say that I have started to feel something for this man, in whose arms I am right now? I don't have any experience with men. Yet, my first one seems to be the best so far. I have not seen a man, strikingly handsome as he is. With his manners, his concern for me just makes me admire him. I can't help but wonder what if I fall in love with him? 

"I really wish I could read what is going on in your mind" he muttered slowly in my ears, making me blush at my thoughts.

"Now you're really making me wonder, what made you blush?" he asked with a teasing grin.
