_Micini’s POV_Speechless, I raised my fingers to touch my lips, it felt moist under my touch. Adam stood up forcefully, the chair he was sitting on scrapping loudly against the tiles as it pushed back.Saint had a cold look on his face as he looked at Adam, his face not giving out what he was thinking. Without any word, Adam picks up his stuff and walks out of the Ice cream shop, my eyes following his every move. The door banged so loudly it was a miracle it didn't break. Why did he leave? And without buying any ice cream. Confusion etched on my face as I watched him walk away. “Do you like the ice cream?" Saint asks me, anf I turned my attention to him.He had an unreadable expression on his face, sending warning bells to my head. Slowly and carefully, I nod my head.“Use your words." He orders, sending thrills down my spine. “I did." I stuttered. I have no idea what he was thinking right now and it scared me more than anything.Is he angry about Adam? “I left you for just
_Santino's POV_I take a drag from the cigarette I held between my fingers, letting the smoke out from my nose.“Saint, everything is ready." Rico, my second in command, says from the door and I raise my eyes to look at him.Rico hasn't been here for too long, but he was trustworthy enough for me to make him my second. We had a job to do that night, supplying ammo and coke to another mafia family.“Is it complete?" I ask, dropping the cigarette stick on the ashtray.I wonder what Micini's doing, I haven't seen her since Natalie dragged her out.When I realized I was staring off into space and thinking about that little girl, I shook my head trying to shake it off. “Saint? You good man?” Rico asks, seeming concerned. It was unlike me to be distracted on a night like this."I’m fine." I muttered, picking up the jacket that lay on my table. Pushing my chairs back, I stand up and walk towards him, indicating for him to lead.We were headed to the Bianchi warehouse to drop their goods a
_Micini’s POV_I try to steady my shaky hands as I reached for the first aid kit, my thoughts running at a million miles per hour.He got shot. Nico got shot this night. How did he get shot? Where did he go?Natalie's words earlier come to mind and I realize I truly don't know Saint. Grabbing the first aid kit, I walk back to him, ignoring his dark gaze on me.“Take off your shirt.” I mumble, my eyes on the blood patch on his shoulder."Baby, if you wanted to see me naked all you had to do was to ask.” He chuckles and my cheeks turn red in embarrassment."I didn't mean it that way. I need to clean the wound.” I say just to clarify and he chuckles once more. Saint tries to raise his wounded hands but groans instead, his face filled with pain.“Don't take it off. I would do it my self." I say stopping him, tears threatening to fall from my eyes as I stared at him sadly.He was in so much pain but was trying to hide it. “Why are you crying? Silly girl." Saint scolds me and I sniffle.
_MICINI’S POV_Slowly, I opened my eyes, the sun rays coming in from the window lighting the room up.White walls stare back at me and I blink in confusion, trying to remember where I was.Memories from last night floods my head in waves making me smile foolishly.I slept in Saint's room last room, he didn't want me to leave and I didn't have any complaints.Speaking of Saint, where is he?I turn to the other side of the bed to find it empty.He left already?The bathroom door opens and Saint walks out with his hair wet and a towel tied around his waist.“Good morning." I greet with a light smile and he grunts in response, reaching for the hair dryer.“Let me dry your hair.” I suggest, pulling myself up from his bed, his eyes goes to my thigh and I blush, remembering I was just wearing his shirt that stopped mid thigh.I expect him to refuse or ignore me but he doesn't, instead he plugs in the dryer and sits in front of me, handing it to me.Slowly I reach for his hair, running my han
I held unto Natalie's sweater hem as we walked to class, keeping my head down to avoid the stares from people. “Keep your head up. Putting your head down would make them think they can prey on you. Walk with confidence even though you don't feel confident." Natalie tells me and I look up to find her smiling ar me.“Besides, ignore what anyone says. Saint made such a huge scene yesterday so people would talk and look for a while." She pauses in front of a class room and she waits for me to collect myself.Taking a deep breath, I nod at her to tell her I was ready.She pushes the door open and the initially loud classroom turns quiet, everyone staring at the both of us.No. They were specifically staring at me.Natalie grabs my sweaty palms and pulls me with her, walking inside the classroom.Feeling anxious, I keep my eyes on my feet not wanting to look at anyone.The murmurs starts around us and I can feel their eyes on me.“Keep your head up." Natalie whispers immediately.Doing exa
_Micini’s POV_The professor was ripped away from me, his arms around me were replaced by familiar ones, Natalie holding me closer to her.“You're okay now. You're okay." She tries to soothe me as she whispers reassuring words into my ears.I looked at the person that pulled the professor away from me, finding a completely unfamiliar face staring at me.His brown eyes held sympathy and pity as he held down the professor, clearly feeling sorry for me.How was I so stupid? Trusting someone I just met. My stomach churned and before I knew it I had doubled over, emptying my entire stomach contents at my feet. “Are you okay?" The brown eyed guy asked concerned, reaching for me.I instantly backed away to avoid his touch, staring at him with distrust and unhidden disgust.“Don't touch me." I spat, still staring at his outstretched hands.“Micini are you okay?" Natalia asks, her voice laced with concern as she wipes my mouth with her cloth."I'm fine. I'm fine.” I gasped for breath as I tr
_Saint’s POV_“What happened to her?" I ask Natalie the moment the door is slammed shut, clenching and unclenching my fist to control my anger."She-we-I" Natalie stuttered, clearly unable to form a coherent sentence. Her eyes darts around in fear as she looked for something to focus on.She knew how I can be when I'm angry.“What happened was that-" She starts saying then goes ahead to narrate all that had happened earlier today. My anger level increasing with each passing minute.“So you tell me that you took her to your school and you were once again unable to take care of her?" I exploded, my fist slamming against the wall behind her head.Natalie flinched and closed her eyes, trembling in fear.“Who was it?” I growled angrily, doing everything in my power not to let my anger explode.I didn't forget that Micini was in her room, and she shouldn't see me this way.“Maxwell." Natalie answered, her lips quivering.“Maxwell? DaVinci’s errand boy?” I cocked my head asking her and she n
I stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection, a different person staring back at me.Is this really me?I stared back at the vibrant green eyes feeling both happy and nervous.The dress was a red number — the seductive shade of wine — with a high thigh slits. The back rides low having a crisscross. The sleeveless exquisite dress dips low, forming a V that gorgeously leaves enough cleavage — the whisper of feminity of the woman adorning the dress. It accentuated the curves I didn't know I had, not in a crude way but still looking hot.Matching heels and jewelries adorned me completing my look.I couldn't deny that I thought I look good. And the joy it brought to my heart that after years I could finally look at my reflection and feel pretty. But I was worried about what others would say. Would Saint call me a whore just like Daniel does? Would he think I'm pretty or would he give look at me with the kind of eyes Daniel did. Filled with disgust and lust at the same time. Sh
