The night we met

Chapter 42

It has been three days and Matteo is cold towards me.

I've tried to talk to him about it but he just avoids me in every way he possible knows. He didn't even slept on the same bed with me, he always went to the guest room instead of telling me to leave. He left early and came back very late that I rarely see him now.

I overthought what I had done and yes it was kind of a stupid decision to make and do at one in the morning. I don't need to explain how regretful I'm and my parents. I've repeated that a lot even to myself, its just that I don't know what other explanation I could come with.

But yes, it was stupid I know that but we need to fix this. Matteo is taking it very seriously but I don't blame him, they could have captured me and then sell or abuse me and the thought that I was close to it makes me feel how naive I was.

I'm sitting in the living room as I touch my ring twirling it around. It almost midnight when the door opens and Matteo comes in almost falling.

He begins laughing on his own as he closes the door.

"Woah, he...hey do you want to..to oh shit I forgot what I was going to say," he says laughing.

I walked towards him and I cover my nose as I feel a strong smell of liquor. He has been drinking, so it means he's drunk.

"Do you want to...to hear a joke?."

I shook my head. This was the first time I've seen him drunk, and it got me surprised.

"I'll tell you then. This is your captain speaking, AND THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SHOUTING," he yelled but I couldn't resist at the bad joke.

"Come on joke teller, let's go to bed," I said pulling him by the arm. I thought he was going to resist but he followed.

"The captain doesn't want to sleep. WEO WEO IS EVERYONE HEARING, THE CAPTAIN DOESN'T WA...."

I covered his mouth to stop him from yelling but he started licking my hand so I took it away.

"Ew."

"Ew you!," he said taking his tongue out. Gosh he was really acting like a child right now, yep this powerful and handsome man.

"You're acting like a kid," I said pulling him again.

"We're all kids. We are just kids with responsibilities but that still want to have fun and don't want to go to sleep early. Just like...like...like you're making me to."

We finally got into the room and he sat down on the edge of the bed as he pretended to have to ducks.

"Quack quack."

I rolled my eyes as I looked for his pijamas on his cabinets.

I went toward him but he grabbed my hand and he stared at my ring.

"We're going to get married! Woo," he yelled smiling.

"Not right now."

"Why not? You know I love you...you...youuuu."

"I know," I said as I unbuttoned his shirt. I pulled his t-shirt over his head as he continued to talk.
