Little Bambina

Twenty-five

"Papá?"
I call out. Still no answer. I go to the kitchen where I'm sure I'll find Matilda.

"Matilda, viste a mi papá?!" (Matizada, have you seen my dad?!)
"Está en su oficina." (He's in his office.)

I turn fast and rushing to his office.
"Está ocupado!" (He's busy!) I hear Matilda yelling after me I stop and return to the kitchen.
"Esta con alguien?" (Is he with someone?) I ask curiously.

"Esta con hombres que tú no debes ver. And they shouldn't see you. Tú sabe que el negocio de su padre es peligroso. Y esos socios de su padre son peligrosos así que quédate en su cuatro o salgas de la casa ahora." She whispers harshly pulling me to the side.
(He's with men you shouldn't see. You know your father's business is dangerous. And those associates of your father are dangerous so stay in your room or leave the house.)

I gasp my heart rate increasing and mouth running dry. Did this man just bring dangerous people into our house without informing me or at least warning me. Imagine had I just went straight to his office to look for him without asking Matilda first.

I can only imagine the worst. I don't wanna be kidnapped or anything like that. I'm so scared right now.

"Me voy. Tengo miedo de estar aquí." I say to her before rushing to my room to pack my overnight bag. I'm not sleeping here tonight. I'll go hangout at my boyfriend's.

I mean he did say I'm safe with him and that no one knows his identity. I really hope that's true because I have nowhere else to go right now. Kells went on a cruise with her current situation. I don't know what to call her companions. I could just say that; her companions. Well then, Kells is on a cruise with her current companion.

I'm not one to judge but I just want her to be safe. I really do care deeply for her and I love her so much I just don't want anything to happen to her.

I quickly dial for an Uber cause your girl doesn't have a car. I do have a driver's lisence but I do not have a car. I have to talk to my papa about that. He needs to buy me a car it's about time. I mean it's long over due.

I called Luca to inform him that I'm coming over but I went straight to voicemail so I just sent a text I do have a copy of the house keys. Both for our house and his pent house. I have come to terms that he did buy me a house but I call it our house, it's on my name but he paid for it.

I didn't find Luca home so I decided to take a quick nap then wake up later to prepare lunch.

I hear movement around me and I wake up startled. I look around the room to find a woman. She has her back turned towards me and and is in a squatting position in the closet. My closet. I get out of bed and slowly approach her.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?"
She screams jumping up and facing me.
"I-I'm so sorry. I'm Sasha the housekeeper."
I tilt my head to the side squinting my eyes at her. She's at least five inches taller than me and she's stunning to say the least. Nice long legs and pretty face.

Housekeeper my ass.

"I don't have a housekeeper. I certainly didn't hire you. You were not here when I got home."

"Mr. De Santo hired me. I was probably grocery shopping when you came Mrs. De Santo." She says looking down.

"Oh no, it's Ramirez. Did he make you sign a non disclosure? Also what are you doing in my closet?"
