Loving Alessandro

quattro

𝐸

After breakfast I stare emptily at Alessandro bored.

Why he wanted to keep me in today annoys me.

I've been staring at him for about two minutes while he scrolls through he phone. I've memorized his curly brown hair that is tapered on the sides. His eyelashes that are far too long to be a on an imbecile. And the way his lip shrinks into his mouth when he furrows his brows.

"Yes?" He says not even looking up from his phone.

"What am I doing here? Besides being practically sold to a stranger." I still don't know how to process this whole ordeal.

"It was either you or beating your dad to a pulp. I would beat him but your bitchy ass brothers whined too much. I saw you at their home and you looked good enough. Plus my dad wants me settle down and shit." He waves off.

"So you choose me over beating my dad up?" I ask bewildered.

"Pretty much." He pops a grape in his mouth.

"Well this is great! I don't even get a say in this." I say sarcastically.

I sit back in my chair with an attitude like a two year old who got chocolate taken away. I cross my arms over my chest and look around the dinning room huffing and puffing loudly.

Big ceilings and black, and white decorations cover the walls with a sleek layout of the house.

"Why did you want me here? I could've gone to the mall with that nice lady, I mean if you're just going to sit there on your phone-"

"That. That is why your here. To learn the rules." He put his phone down. Looking straight into my eyes, he gives me the chills.

"No annoying questions. And don't ask why, I hate explaining myself." He looks at me squarely.

I roll my eyes in frustration.

"No rolling your eyes."

"Can I breathe?" Ask sarcastically.

He ignores me. "No going in the basement. Don't go escaping- it's useless."

"When can I get my phone?" I ask. I hate this. I hate feeling like a prisoner.

"When I earn your trust." He shrugs.

"Fine. So what I date you? What if we don't work out... huh?"

"I told your dad I'm keeping you for a year as punishment to him. I know your a daddy's girl." He winks. "So until then you're mine."

This is such bullshit. I slouch further in my seat.

All my life I've lived in the dark. I've lived by the rules and I hate it. I'm not playing by the rules anymore. I'm a full grown adult and if I want to live my life, I'm going to live my goddamn life. He won't tell me what to do. I'll let him think I'm following them until he finds out.

After breakfast Alessandro shows me around the house. It's bigger than my house by a landslide.

What if I get lost in the thing. I could hide from him though! I'll have to go around more and hopefully find rooms and hideouts.

"This is my office. Don't go in unless you've knocked and I've said you could come in."

Him and his stupid rules. I roll my eyes in my head.

I nod and put on a show that I'm paying attention. Yes, I can't wait to roam this house for the next twelve months. Since I'm being held against my will.

We walk up two flights of stairs to a door with wooden detailing on it.

"This is your room. My room is across the hall."

I smile at the thought of not having to sleep with his annoying ass.

He opens the door to "my" room.

A bed lays in the middle with a beautiful canopy. Bedside tables are next to the bed and a dresser is
far to the left.

"You can buy stuff to make it your own if you want." He leans against the door frame. His tall figure almost hitting the top.

I make my way to the bed and jump on it. My body hits the soft mattress and it feels like I'm laying on a cloud.

Happy with my room he leaves without saying goodbye and I close the door.

I go back to the bed and lay on my bed looking at the canopy.

"This is going to be a long year." I whisper out loud.

Unless I make it fun.
