Once An Angel

::Being Sin::

     {°Unedited°} 
                 ::Davina's POV::

    I haven't so light and happy in so long. Sure, I've had happy moments, but this is longer than just a moment. Seeing my brother gave me a sense of clarity and knowing that everything will eventually be okay again. It also let me know how sincere Sin is when he says he's only doing this for my safety; if other wise he wouldn't let out of the house, let alone see my brother.
    He closes the door and releases a deep breath, looming directionally in front of us at the other parked car. I reach out, gently grasping his tattooed jaw and turning his head so he's looking at me. "Thank you," I say, kissing his cheek. He makes a swift movement to press his lips against mine.
    I don't want to fall for the man that kidnapped me, no matter what the reason, it's still kidnap. Not to mention him being a dangerous mafia leader. It doesn't matter how drop dead handsome he might be. But even though I don't want that to happen, I can't help it.
   He pulls back and gives me a small grin; it almost looks shy. "What is this?" I blurt out. I meant to only think that.
     "We're whatever you want us to be. Personally, I want us to more," he tells me. And I know what more means. Releasing a deep breath, my eyes meet his.
    "I want you," I say. He smiles. "But I also want a normal life after all of this. I know you can't have that."
    "And why can't I?" He asks. My brows raise in shock.
   "You're a mafia leader, Sin. I know you don't want to leave this life no matter how dangerous it is," I say. He bites down on his lip. They're still slightly swollen from our brief, harsh kiss.
    "You're right about that, but I'm always up for compromise," he says. I sigh, relaxing into my seat.
    "I also need to know more about you to know who I would be with," I say. His jaw clenches. I can't tell if me saying that angered him or put him on edge.
   "I'll... I'll tell you as much as I can," he says. I'm shocked by this, but take the opportunity.
    "Where did you grow up?" I ask.
    "A small town in Portugal," he says. "My father ran things over there as well as Mexico, so I guess you can say I grew up in moth Portugal and Mexico." I nod.
    "What was your childhood like?" I ask. He tenses, looking down at his inked hands.
    "It was just as you can imagine it was with a Mafia leader as a father. He was never around, if he was, he was drowned in work, so I couldn't talk to him. Our cooks and maids were the ones who really taught me important life lessons; my father taught me how to run everything.
  I try my best every day to be the best dad I can possibly be for Emmy. I want to be what my father wasn't. When he died and I took over, I made a promise I would be as present in her life as I possibly can. But that I would also keep as safe at the same time. I don't want her knowing about any of this until its absolutely necessary."
    He looks so deep in thought as he speaks. "You're a great father to her. She admires you just as she should; thinks you hung the mood. You're doing great justice to your promise." He smiles a little. "What about your mother?"
    "She passed away while giving birth to me. Part of me thinks that's why my father was never involved in my life much, he resented me for killing his wife."
    "You didn't kill her," I say in horror. "And if he did believe that, he had his own mind to fix." He leans in close and gives me a quick peck. "What's it like? Being Sin? What's your daily life like?"
    "Chaotic," he says with a chuckle; there is no humor around it though. "I run everything for my men and have to keep track of others as well in different areas around the world. It's stressful; even more so lately. I have to watch out for flying bullets everywhere for myself and Emmy. It's hard."
    This time it's me who gets closer to him, creasing his face with my small hand. "I like you, Sin." He laughs a little.
    "After all that?"
    "Especially after all that."
