REXFORD'S POV Lucy is sleeping in her room. Chris walks in and wants to talk to me. "Hey man" he says and I nod in response. "I think it's time to talk" Chris says and I wait for him to talk."About Lucy" he pauses. "You have changed a lot since you've met her. You've become this man no one's ever seen, she is doing things to you and you have to put an end to it" I let him finish. "It's putting you and her in danger. You used to fuck new girls every week and now all you think about is her. You can't let a girl come before the Mafia. It has always been the Mafia before love and now you are doing the opposite."I rub my forehead in frustration."All she does is being good to people why can't you all be just like her" i say knowing this all is bad for her. My life is nothing I would want to give her. "You make very bad decisions because of her, Rexford and now you put her and yourself in danger" Chris says and I know it's true. I am dangerous to everyone near me. I would never hurt he

"Wake up! Lucy wake up" a manly voice says touching my shoulder.Opening my eyes I look up at Rexford. "What the hell are you doing in my house?" I yelled, backing away from him. "We need to leave now, they are looking for you," he says, taking my arm and lifting me up.His touch was so soft against my skin. His beautiful face was staring at me. "Do you trust me" he says and I hesitate when I say "y...yes""Come with me then"I woke up in a sweat. Feeling so extremely hot I get in the shower. I stand under the cold water thinking about why he keeps invading my dreams. It's not fair. For him to move on and me still weeks later dreaming about him. What is wrong with me? I have to do something to forget him.and sit down. Alice comes in and takes a place beside me. "Hey, how are you feeling?" she says and I take a deep breath."I don't know," I say, playing with my hands."You know you can tell me anything," she smiles."You know the boy I married" I start. "Rexford ?" she says."Yes, him

When we step out of the car I help Alice to the door as Rexford walks behind. Alice steps inside her apartment. "Well thank you for the ride" I say. He gives me a smile then it fades away quickly. "Rexford I...I don't think this will ever work, I never liked you and you hated me, it's best if we never talk again" I say then before he can answer I close the door.It's hard knowing we won't speak again. And I lied. I liked him a lot but with time I will forget him. I already know that when father finds out Rexford kicked me out he's going to want to kill me. I'm scared but also angry that Rexford sent me home to my hell of a father.I take my shoes off and walk into the living room. Alice is on the red couch and I fall beside her. We are both so tired and drunk. It was a really bad idea to party so late when we have work tomorrow. "How are you feeling?" I asked her. She mumbles something I can not hear. Then after a while she says "I hope that man lives unhappily, you deserve som

Rexford sleeps beside me. His perfectly shaped face is sleeping peacefully as I think about the things he said. It makes me so sad to know that he's been holding it all to himself.He wasn't born evil. Nobody is. But I guess when everyone is telling you one thing you start to believe it. And Rexford believed that he was nothing more than a brutal, cruel killer. To me he is much more. And he will never have to feel alone as long as I'm here."Morning, '' he says, still sleepy. I give him a smile then get up from bed. "Good morning, slept good?" I ask. He answered with a sleepy nod. "Wow I've never seen you this tired before '' I say. I get up from bed "Oh wait, did we" he looks at the bed then back at me. "Rexford nooo behave" I say crossing my arms. "I don't know what got into me last night, I can't remember much but I want you to forget the conversation we had." He says."It's fine I'm here for you..." I get interrupted by him. "No I don't want to talk about it, just forget it" he s

Well nothing more happened last night. I finished and Rexford was very happy to help me out. God he gives me butterflies.Rexford booked our trip and it will be so much fun. We packed a bag each and left soon. We will be gone for two days.I text my mother about our plans and she says to be careful. I grab my bag and head downstairs. Rexford is already waiting outside. When I step out he opens the car door for me then he gets in the driver seat. He seems a little tense but hides it. After all, it's not a normal trip. He's got a lot of work and will probably have to have a good plan to get what he wants. I usually ask about his work. He does what needs to be done, I am more than happy to help but he likes to do it himself."I'm happy I could come with you" I say looking out the window as he drives. "Well I thought I needed you if I lose control." He mumbles. I smile. I like that he can calm down when he is with me. He never loses his temper when he's with me.``Okay so I didn't know
