The Handsome Helper

Chapter 21

A/N: I changed Donny's "Maa"'s name to Sarah from Christina so people don't get confused

"I'm Michelangelo" I was enveloped in a hug; he smelled of mint and before I could observe anything else he stepped away to attack Donny again.

His face looked so familiar but his expression when he saw me was soft and welcoming, not full of shock or full of hesitation or even recognition.

It calmed me down slightly that he didn't recognise me or he was pretending not to recognise me.

But as Donny got his revenge in the form of throwing his brother on to the floor and sitting on him all my worries faded. Even if Micky did say something, everyone knew what I was right?

"Kelly's gonna kill you" Micky shouted as Donny got off of him.

Both brothers were getting a good scolding from Sarah.

"Why do you boys still fight like children? Huh?" Sarah was angry but not too angry. They hadn't broken anything so the only crime they were guilty of was fighting in front of a guest. That guest being me.

I hadn't noticed how heavy Sarah's Italian accent was. Only now when her voice took on the sound of a disappointed mother did I hear the clear Italian. In my head I egged her on in hopes that she swore in Italian so I could at least know a word of the beautiful language. But as soon as she was done telling them off Donny apologised and hugged his mum.

She was right; he was a Momma's boy.

Micky didn't apologise, instead he turned to me and winked.

Micky was tall and slim, lacking all attractiveness Donny carried. He was good looking but not as good looking as his elder. His hair was dark brown, off black, like the rest of his family's. It was styled up atop his head. His eyebrows looked like slugs and I wanted to tweeze them, so bad. His hoodie was too big for him and the way his jeans hung suggested the same thing, obviously he didn't get his sense of fashion from Donny either.

"Kelly's gonna be here in a sec, I'm gonna change" Micky said before leaving. Kelly must be someone special since he was changing from what looked to be a fresh outfit.

I looked at Donny who'd been nursing the gash on his leg with the aid of his mum. He gave me a small smile and called me to him. He was sitting on a dining chair and wincing while his mum cleaned the wound. He grabbed for my hand and released all the pain into me by digging his nails into my flesh.

I waited for the pain.

It didn't come.

I looked at my hand amazed, I could almost see Donny's nails digging so deep into my flesh yet I felt nothing, as if it'd gone numb.

Looking at Donatello I could see he was in a lot of pain, but even when in pain he was smiling at me.

After 20 minutes Donny was patched up and walking again. I was setting the big dining table.

"Hey there" it was a confident friendly voice that greeted me. I looked up to find a short blonde pixie like girl. She had bright blue eyes and a flower crown on to match her blue dress.

Before I could respond or start a conversation with her Donny engulfed her into a surprise hug from behind. He gave me a thanking wink and proceeded to tell her about her jerk of a fiancé stabbing him.

It all made sense pretty quickly after that, this pixie like girl was Kelly, Michelangelo's fiancé. And even if I didn't know she was his fiancé, she light up whenever he was mentioned.

"Did you need stitches?" She asks up to Donny who now has her in a headlock

"No but I needed emotional stitches" he gave her a few nuggies that made her blonde locks frizz and fall out of place. He released her and she fixed her hair turning to me

"I'm kelly, you must be this idiot's +1" she extended out her hand and I took it. I smiled at her and how she so easily dissed Donny. Donny walked over to me pulling a funny face in Kelly's direction as she couldn't see him

"Yeah, he's kinda crazy about me" I explained, sending a wink to Donny "I'm Eliza" I told her

"Short for Elizabeth right?" She asked

"No, it's just Eliza" both Donny and I said at the same time. Kelly turned to look at Donny and then back to me mouthing the word 'wow'. Donny's tone was harsh and annoyed. Was he annoyed that she thought I was called Elizabeth?

I took his hand in mine anyway and gave it a little squeeze; Donny pressed his lips to my cheek and to Kelly's amusement I turned bright red; at this point in my life I knew Donny's effect on me so i didn't need a mirror to see what colour his lips had turned me

"Marry her, she's adorable!" Kelly shouted. I could tell by how Kelly talked she was an easy person to get along with, she talked in a way that even when she says something embarrassing about you you couldn't get mad at her because you can tell it's only in her nature to be good and honest

"Later" Donny said pressing another kiss to my temple. Kelly beamed at me but I couldn't move.

Did Donny just say 'later'? As in he's going to marry ME later? Am I the one for Donny? Given, he's the one and beyond for me but is this what that love feels like? Am I supposed to enjoy his kisses this much? Am I supposed to get giddy at the possibility of a wedding? Does he known I'm a prostitute? Is everyone forgetting that fact?

And most importantly, can I kiss Donny whenever I want?

I was finally snapped out of my crazy Q&A by Donny tailing kisses on the side of my face. They were soft and little but had enough power to make me melt into him; his arms were still wrapped around me, cradling me.

I turned around and gave him a small smile and met his lips with mine.

As i reached on my tip toes to deepen the kiss I felt Donny's hand come to rest on my bum. A rough squeeze made me laugh and pull away.

Donny wasn't having it, his hand snaked around the back of my neck and pulled me towards his lips again. I happily obliged until someone cleared their throat.

Our kiss was long, longer than usual and it felt different, it was like we were both sure. It's hard to describe but it's the first kiss we've shared knowing that there is a future for us.

I know kelly was joking but Donny's tone was far from it. Donny doesn't talk about the future in a positive way ever. So at the mention of a positive life event? You know it's the truth.

Donny loved me, Donny wanted to marry me. These two things I'm 100% positive of. Another three things I'm positive of?

I loved Donny with every atom in my body, I would say yes a million times over and, I'm pretty sure prostitutes addicted to heroin aren't allowed to marry rich policemen.
