"I don't know how you did it" He said with pain and frustration in his eyes "But you need to stop" I look at him and softly said "I don't know what you're talking abo-" He cuts me off by pinning me against the wall looking even more frustrated "You're making yourself important to me and you need to stop!" He yelled making me shut my mouth. I look at the pain, sadness and anger that was swirling in his eyes "Please don't make me stop" I whispered softly, leaning closer to him. He shuts his eyes tightly and whispers "God damn it" before pulling me and placing his lips on mine. Welcome to the story of Lauren and Alexander.

"Come here," I just ignored him like I always do and continued looking out my window. "Mila," I heard him call my name in his deep Italian accent and I almost obeyed to his commands but I had to stand my ground. "Mila stai iniziando a farmi incazzare." He said loudly but I couldn't understand what he was saying (Translation) "Mila you're starting to piss me off." "You act like I can understand you dickwad," I turn to him angrily. I don't know why I'm so angry. He really did nothing wrong but I knew I made a huge mistake so I quickly rushed over to him and said, "Luc I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me, but I really am sorry," He grabs me by the waist and pulls me in between his legs and says, "If you ever pull that shit again I will kill you. I will put several bullets into your skull," _-_-_ Mila Fanely gets fired from her job as a nanny.
