Lelia's POV:
I had classes till 3 pm and this one was only my first. The rest of the classes went by quickly. Now we had something like a lunch break.
I was waking down to the bench under the tree I usually eat or study and I sit down. Today I am eating some Cesar salad.
As I eat I see a familiar face-Michael.
"Long time no see,Lia!",he acts like nothing happened!I simply ignored him and continued to eat my salad.
"Did you like the roses I sent you?",he asked. God damn it! Can't you understand a sign you moron? I was clearly irritated.
"Sure", I answered trying not to be so rude,"Do need anything,Michael?"
As I asked he smiled stupidly and started talking again
"Don't be like that,babe!". As he said that he came closer and sat next to me. I tried to get away from him but he got a hold of my waist. He squeezed it tightly.
"You are hurting me!", I whined quietly because I didn't want to cause a scene in front of everyone. He squeezed me harder.
"Next time think before leaving me!",he said that and smashed his lips on mine. It was a forced kiss ,of course. I was trying to push him away but he just didn't let me go.
At this moment someone came and pulled him away.
"GET AWAY FROM HER ,YOU BASTARD!",Dante said. Thank god he came in the right moment. He pushed Michael to the floor and said
"Don't even think of touching what's mine ever again !". Michael got up and quickly ran away. I got up and hugged Dante. I was scarred. I really got scared. He planted a kiss on my hair and whispered
"It's okay,babygirl."

We stayed like that for a couple of minutes and then he broke the silence.
"Can you take you somewhere?",he asked. I looked at him and laughed.
"I have two more classes",I said.
"Please?",he gave me the puppy eyes. I laughed.
"Okay okay",I gave in,"but before that can I take a shower and change my clothes? I feel dirty.",I asked. He nodded and said 
"Of course baby" and gave me a kiss on the forehead.

I went to my dorm room and took a quick shower. This was my second date with Dante. I am so excited!!
I got out of the shower and looked for some clothes. I decided to wear a lilac summer dress which I never wore because Michael hated it.

I looked at myself once again before going out. In front of the campus I saw Dante's car. He was in front of it and smoking. The smell of cologne and cigarette smoke blended in the air. I scrunched my nose- I hated cigarettes.
"You don't like it?",he asked and I nodded. He looked me up and down. Then he put the death pole on the floor before putting it out with his shoe.
He put his hands in his pockets and shrugged.
"Shall we go?", he asked. I smiled like a little child on Christmas and nodded. All of a sudden I got really excited. I felt butterflies in my stomach. I felt like I was about to fly.
He opened the passenger seat for me to get it. I sat it the car and go comfortable. Seconds later he opened the door and got it.
"Sembri una dea mia margherita"(you look like a goddess my daisy), he said I think in Italian. I have always found attractive men who can speak other languages. I had to learn Italian. It's such a beautiful language. And I really need to know what he says. But he wasn't the only one who knew other languages. I know French.
"J'espere que tu as dit quelque chose de gentil"(I hope you said something nice) ,I said to him in French. But it didn't surprise him. He just chuckled and said.
"On dirait que je ne suis pas le seul à connaître d'autres langues ma marguerite"(it looks like I am not the only one who knows other languages my daisy) ,he replied leaving me speechless. This man! How many languages did he know?

After 2 hours and half of us talking we finally arrived. He brought me to a little lake. Oh it was so beautiful.
"It beautiful!",I exclaimed. He came behind me and hugged me.
"Anything for you,my daisy",he whispered in my ear. I turned around and looked at him. I quickly noticed that there was a blanket and a picnic basket. I once again smiled like a little kid and asked him happily
"Taking me on a picnic?"
He just chuckled and said
"What can I say? I can spoil my daisy."

We put the blanket on the ground,we sat down and started eating. He brought some sandwiches,fruits and drinks. I really needed that. I sat between his legs and put my head on his chest.

We were taking for all kinds of stuff. He is actually a quite talkative person. Even though he seems scary and emotionless he is a very nice person. He told me about his childhood which wasn't from the good ones. His parents were never there for him. The only thing his father cared about was the family business and his mother only cared about his little sister who then was a beauty queen pageant. He was a trouble child he admitted it.
"I hated my parents. The only thing they cared about was my sister. Not that I complain tho. If they cared for me as much as they did for her I should have been married and living a crappy life. For example my sister turns 17 years old and she is already engaged to another mafia leader who is 24. How pathetic!",he said. Did he not believe in marriage? Or in love?
"Hey Dante..can I ask you something?", I asked.
"Of course,babygirl",he said.
"Do you believe in marriage? In love more precisely?", I asked him. He looked at me and stroked my hair.
"No babygirl",he answered.
"But why?",I asked him starting to sound annoying. He sighed and said
"I guess I never learned how to love. And now I don't know if anyone is going to love a heartless person like me."
As he said that it made me think about it. He is a good person. I like Dante. I looked up to him and pecked his lips.
"I can teach you,Dante. I want to teach you how to love",I whispered really quietly. He kissed me. This time the kiss wasn't dominant or something. It was a gentle and soft kiss. And then he just stopped. I laid on top of him,laying my head on his sting chest. He played with my hair.
"Babygirl,why don't we talk about you?",he asked and I laughed and started talking about my past. I had a normal childhood,I had friends and played. When I started school my parents forbid me to go out and play. The only thing I could do was study and help my mother with the housework. I thought this was normal until high school when they started calling me a loser,nerd,a loner,teacher's pet...I was kind of picked on but I didn't really care. I was a great student and I liked that reputation. And then I talked about my love life,my crushes and my ex.
"Dante,do you bring your girls here often", I said while stroking his chest.
" No,babygirl. In fact you are the first one to ever come here. This is my favourite place. I come here to relax every now and then. It calms me down.",he said and kissed my hair. I smiled to myself. As much as he is a heartless and emotionless person deep inside he really can love. He is just scarred of not being loved back. But I will teach him to love. It might be the last thing I would do but I will.
