"What are you?" I ask as I take a step closer to her. She doesn't seem threatened by my question or movement because she is still standing in the same position.

Then she turns to face me...

Before I can stop myself, my left hand traces the side of her face. And I can notice her shift away from me.

"Don't hide from me Safiya, please. This doesn't change anything -"

"This changes everything." She cuts me off. "...do you see how that works?" She asks, her voice already threatening to break down in tears.

And as I contemplate on how to say my next words, she disappears and appears behind the tree I'm resting on. Her breathing makes me shift in my spot as I find her again.

"I'm sure there's a way. I'll find a way, I promise." I say between breaths.

"Don't promise anything you can't fulfill... I don't expect you to help me."

"But I want to. I - I have to, Safiya."

She looks up at me after my words are out, like she is trying to read me. Maybe she reads minds, too.
....
"...You don't even know me." She begins again and then adds, "And yes, I do read minds." She says, and then looks away to the lake again.

"I'm not afraid of you, Safiya. And I do care. Don't you see what you are doing to me?" I say as I rake a hand through my hair, taking quick steps away from her. 

"I am in love with you..."

****

Against her wish, and in order to remain on Earth, Safa has to marry Ashton, the man her parents choose for her, before she turns twenty-two. Backing out would mean saying goodbye to her best friend, Anna, forever. Safa believes all hope is lost until she meets Ian.

Ian Trace is cocky, arrogant, and brilliant, on the outside. But there is more to what Safa sees in him. And she knows it. 

What happens when Safa's mystical world collides with Ian's human world? Will it change what is destined to happen?

She liked the compliments, the Italian flare. It ropes many women, but the way she looked at me with her big almond eyes had my mind racing and my body in overdrive. She was not immune to my charm, even in her current situation. Her hair was in a slick bun. I was sad not to be able to see the curls adorne her face. And yet she stared at me again, watching me like a dog. Curious gazes. It was fun to tease, and the response I got back over affirmed my teasing. She seemed more relaxed with me. She looked away from me. She stared out the window watching the street ride by. It was silent for a while as I texted my subordinates basic commands. Nothing conspicuous. "Alessio, where are you taking me," her voice piped up. Seems like it took her a while to muster up the courage. I loved her sweet voice when it spoke me me and when she said my name... It was such a turn-on. She wasn't supposed to really ask questions. I don't like lots of questions. I thought about the best way to respond but opted not to say anything at all. She was as stubborn as always, forgetful too. She scanned around me before huffing to herself and looking back out the window. -- Started 06/08/2023- 8/14/2023 Highest Rankings: #7 Arranged [4/26/24] #26 Older #1 Bwwm #13 Man #1 Mafia #1 lovetragedy #6 lovestory #5 Blackwomen
