Sweet Bastard

Chapter 8

(Vanessa's outfit above)

The light blinds me for a second, I blink and let my eyes readjust to the brightness. "Finally your awake." I look to my right to find Seth in some sweatpants and a white T-shirt which is kinda unlike him. He mostly wears dress clothes and fancy stuff. 

"What happened?" I stretch my back and bones before I look around the room. It's pretty dark furniture but the light are bright. "You fainted."

All my memories come flooding back. He told me he was in a Mafia. I squint my eyes and stare at him. "Is it too bright in here?" I nod my head and watch him dim the lights. "You never explained the full story of why you need a wife, you said for an important company or whatever from your father," I say. He lets out a long and heavy breath and comes closer to me. The closer he gets I take scoot back, I was almost about to fall off the bed. He sits down and looks at me for a long moment. "My father doesn't think I'm ready. He says I need a stable relationship and to be married to that person in order to be don."

I scratch the back of my neck and then stare back into his eyes. "Does stuff like that happened often?" I bite my lower lip and chew on it. "Sometimes. But those guys were probably working with James," he sighs.
Does he mean James as in the one I saw in the woods.

"Your crazy! You fucking shoved a gun in my hands," I hiss at him. "You took your shot and made it so what's the problem?" He can't possibly be serious. How am I supposed to live with the fact that I might have killed someone. "I killed a man," I say through closed teeth. "You May be able to live with that on your conscience but I can't," I say now tears start to come out of my eyes.

"I took a life. Oh my god," I say now waterfalls start pouring out of my eyes. Seth smiles and starts to laugh. He laughed like a child and then looks back at me and then he continues to laugh at me. "What's so funny?," I ask in between sniffles. "Nothing it's just your cute when you cry." I scrunch my nose up and give him a new look of disgust. "I'm sorry, come here," He pats to the spot in-front of him.

I hesitate for a while before I then reluctantly crawl over there. "You didn't do anything wrong, I put you into this and you can't escape from me so I'm sorry for that. But like you said you don't have any other lives left so I gave you one last shot. But this last shot is dangerous and it comes with a lot of prices, are you willing to pay them for your final life?"

I nod and wipe away my tears. He grabs my hand and pulls me towards him, he wraps his arms around me and gives me a hug. I awkwardly wrap my arms around him and hug him back. He rests his head in the crook of my neck.

After about 30 seconds he pulls away and stares me in the eyes. "Aiden and Brandon will be here today," he says then hops off the bed and walks towards the door. He moves so fast that I almost fell off the bed.

"Wait! What!!!" I say turning around. I lose my balance and then find myself face planted with the floor. "Damn you floor." I get up and rub my face. I noticed my clothes were not the same that I passed out in. I was wearing some shorts and a white T-shirt of his. I lick my lips and leave the room to look for Seth. He was standing looking inside the fridge.

"Seth! They can't come here. It's too dangerous around you." He closes the fridge with a drink in hand and then walks past me. "You can call them and tell him that but, if they were here it's safer for both of them."

I scrunch my nose and stare at him in confusion "How?! Please explain," I say dramatically. "It's easier to keep an eye on them if they where here."  I don't understand this man. This crazy, sexy, delusional dude.

"Trust me on this one."

I wattle over to him and sit down on the couch beside him. "How do if I know if I can trust you?" He looks over at me and looks into my eyes. "Go on a date with me tonight," he says huskily. "What makes you think I would go on a date with you?," I ask challengingly. "I didn't give you a choice."

He gets up and walks towards his office door. "Be ready by 6:30." He inters his office and leaves me. My lip twitches at the thought of what just happened. "I'm going on a date with Seth Cancino," I say disappointed with my head in my hands. "Oh my god, I have a date!" I hop up off my butt. "And I don't have anything to wear," I whine.

"If your done talking to yourself, go look in my closet. Last week I bought some things for you, I forgot to give them to you, also dress nicely." He says with his head peeping out of the door. My face heats up and he smirks at me. "Ok then, thanks!" I say and rush upstairs like my ass is on fire. I hear him laugh to himself and I continue to to walk up to his room.

I open the door that I think is the closet door and I'm right. There's bags filled with clothes everywhere. All different types of brands, from the most expensive like Gucci, Prada, and Chanel; to forever21, urban outfitters, and Victoria's Secret. There were also some shoe boxes. It took me like 20 minutes until I found a cute outfit.

It's a velvet kind of red dress with black knee high boots. It's cute, to an extent. I walk into the bathroom and play with my hair. It goes down longer than my shoulders almost boob length. I look so... old. My hair is making me look like I'm a million times older. I open every possible drawer I can.

A box labeled Magnum; large size condoms stuck out like a sore thumb. I ignored it and shoved it up the back I continued to look in the drawers until I came across scissors. "I'm a crazy bitch," I say before I cut my hair off.

"I'm one crazy mother fucker," I sing to myself as more hair falls.

Someone, help me.
