My Protector (complete)

6. Fight

Riley's POV:

There is something about him but I can't put my finger on it. When I look into his eyes I see sadness that's trying to be covered. I fall into his grey eyes so easily and that scares me. We are so different but then again we're not. We both have pain in our eyes and secrets to hide. Could we be good for each other though.

Anyway we walk to the gym and I challenge him to fight. We both walk onto the mat and stood in position. We both wait for the other to make a move while we circle each other like wolves. Suddenly he leaps forward and I quickly jump out the way then take him down.

I'm sat on his waist as I hold his hands above his head.
"Kinky. I like it." He said out of breath. I elbow his side and he wheezes.
"Really kinky eh?" I said with a wink. I swiftly got off of him and handed him my hand to pull him up.
"I think you should do some training." I said sweetly.
"I play lacrosse." He protested.
"My uncle plays lacrosse and he is sixty." I sarcastically replied.
"Shut up. Fine then, will you please train me?" He said like a child. I laugh at him before responding.
"Yes of course." I manage to get out between laughing.

Lorenzo drove us back to his and we both jumped in the shower. SEPARATELY.

When I get out of the shower I check my phone and see Francesco has messaged me.

Hey Riley, I heard Lorenzo came to training today! Thank you. Also would you be able to do a job for me this evening. It will require someone as well only for the view as I have said you are a couple...

Hi yeah that's fine what is the job?

A formal event then I need you to find a man call Luca Stone and take him to the 'den'

Yeah that's fine I will sort a dress and a 'date' out.

Thank you it begins at 7 pm

Grate. Who am I supposed to take. I throw on sweatpants and a tank top and head down stairs to eat because I'm starved.

"Pricipessa." Lorenzo said strolling down the stairs and heading towards me.
"Hermoso." I replied with a smile and in Spanish so he won't understand.
"I'm going to hope you said something nice." He said with a frown.
"What are you doing tonight?"
"I have a job to do for your dad but I'm kinda lost I need a date to a formal event and I don't have a dress." I said with a sigh as I put my sandwich down on the counter and began to eat.
"I'll be your date." He smiled.
"You don't have to I know you don't like mafia stuff." I said shyly while putting a piece of hair behind my ear. God what is he doing to me?
"Maybe I have had a changed of heart."
"And why's that?" I said while biting my sandwich then smiling sarcastically.
"Now that is something I can't tell you just yet." He said while standing up from his seat.

He reaches into his pocket and pulls out his keys and smiles at me.
"Let's go and get your dress." He said as he threw and the caught them.
"In this?" I motioned to my sweats.
"Yep." He replied happily.
"Now I'm not going to catch any boys at the mall." I said with fake disappointment. His smiles dropped and then brought back a laugh.

We walk into the mall and I was going to go to a little store that would be affordable but Lorenzo pulled me into a designer store.
I yank his arm causing him to turn to loom at me.
"I don't have the money for this store Enzo." I quietly said to him. The widest smile came onto his face.
"Okay." He replied and carried on walking to the changing rooms.

A beautiful older women with white hair came in and hung up about twenty dress.
"Go in, try them on." Lorenzo said with a wink as he sat on the couch.
I pulled the curtain and tried on the first dress.
It was gold glitter and skin tight.
"Nope." I said behind the curtain. And he just laughed.

I tried a few more on until I found one that I loved.

"Woah." Lorenzo said with his mouth wide open. I chuckled to myself.
"This is my vibe." I said while holding the dress and spinning.
"How am I going to match you when you wear this?" He smirked at me.
"Easily pretty boy." I winked.

I got changed and we left the mall after getting a few other things. When we got back to Lorenzo's place it was about 3:45pm so I decided to have a long bath to help me prepare for the job.

"Lucy is asking you to call..." Lorenzo said barging into the bathroom. I instantly sunk deeper into the bath and thank god for all the bubbles.
"What are you doing?" I said harshly.
"Dam." He said while scanning my body.
"Oi eyes up her testa di cazzo." (Dickhead) I said while using my fingers to point out my eyes.
"It's 4:45 by the way." He said with a wink while leaving the bathroom.
"Shit." I said to myself as I got out of the bath.
