After reaching home from my daily shift at the cafe I decided to go hop into the warm shower and try to forget about that man Antonio Bianchi. I don't know why but for some reason I just cannot stop thinking about him, probably a warm shower will help me forget about him.

I slowly unlocked the door making sure to make no sound. I was hoping uncle Marcos would be asleep but my luck never seems to be on my side.
"Oi, you who*e! What were you doing out there this late huh?! Talk you bit*h! He slurred and smacked me hard across my face. "I-i- was working my shift at the café uncle Marcos, Mrs Woods had to go out for some urgent work so I offered to lock the café after my shift was over..t-that's why I got a bit late.. i-i- am sorry" I Stuttered. " Don't you lie to me you lying sl*t.. you think you can feed me with those lies huh?! He slurred. He then came closer and I started backing up till my back hit the wall, he grabbed my wrists tightly with one hand and grabbed a handful of my hair and pulled me upstairs..he shoved me into my room and slammed shut the door shut on his way down. I could hear ascending footsteps and then the sound of glass shattering. I knew what was happening. I couldn't help but cry, I don't know why does this needs to be happening with me. What have I ever done to deserve a life this bad? Why did my parents leave me with him? Why couldn't they take me away with them. I would've been happier there. I did not know that I was crying so badly until I started to breathe quickly gasping for air.

I reached near the window and looked out just to see a black Mercedes parked in front of my house. It was weird because no one in my neighborhood had such a luxurious car but that's not what shocked me..what caught my attention was the two stormy eyes that were looking right at me from the car.. I wiped my tears away to see properly who the man was but the flickering street light and the night sky did not help me at all. The man noticed me trying to get a better look and drove away. For some weird reason my heart was pounding again.

I decided to go get a warm shower. I stripped off my clothes and walked into the shower. The warm water hitting my skin instantly soothing my nerves. I closed my eyes to let the water fall on my face.
"you're mine tesoro..only mine", his words repeated on loop inside my head, his stormy eyes, the perfect lips, the way his jaw clenched in anger,the way he held me and whispered in my ear kept playing inside my head.. it seems even a hot shower won't help me forget him..I mentally face palmed myself and hopped out of the shower wrapping a towel around my body and then went and change into a comfy sweartshirt and payjamas. I lay on my bed, thinking about him just when my phone chimed. It was a message from Sallie, my best friend. "Hii cupcake, how're you?" The message read..I smiled reading the message..my best friend was a total lunatic with a heart of an angel. She was always there when I needed her. We shared everything so I told her all about what happened today. "Shut up!!! You met Antonio Bianchi?? I-I-mean the Mafia one right? THAT Greek God of a man helped you zip up your dress???!!! Shut up!! Omg Evelyn that's such a big thing girl!! Omg I don't know what to say,, I'm happy for you then again I'm worried because he's a Mafia afterall I mean you know you're my best frie-" "hey Sallie! Calm down girl.. it's nothing..i don't think there's anything to be worried about probably he was being a gentleman and just helping me out that's it" I chuckled.. "maybe..But I have a feeling that it's something more than just a gentleman gesture girl, anyways you get some sleep now..Bye..Good night..". With that I wrapped myself with the blanket and closed my eyes but whatever Sallie said kept playing inside my head. Was it really something more than a gentleman gesture? Or was it nothing ? ...I eventually feel asleep with those stormy eyes in my mind and thinking about that black Mercedes inside which I saw the same stormy eyes.. was that my imagination?? What was it ? Who was it?
