The sun seeped into the room, lighting up every part. I didn't sleep all night, I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss last night. Christiano still lay fast asleep next to me, his back still facing me.I don't understand.... I wish there was some sort of.... subtitles that would come and help me out because I had no clue what was going on. Christiano hadn't just kissed me...he'd done it twice and both times had been full of emotion... It made me feel something, deep down inside of me. But he never wanted to talk about it... I know it is weird to talk about a kiss you just shared but it would really help me out here. What was he thinking? Was this his way of showing that he liked me? or am I other thinking this and this is just what he does? But I knew one thing... I couldn't be here when he woke up. I pulled the covers back, checking that I didn't wake him up. I tiptoed over to the dresser and grabbed my floral yoga pants, my black sports bra and the matching black top. I grabbed my

Christiano~~~~~~~~I was sat in my office, Angelo sat across from me, a glass of scotch in his hand. "How is the deal going with the Americans?" I asked, picking up the smoking cigarette off the ash tray. "they want the full shipment by-" he was cut off as Carly entered the room, a disorientated look on her face."Sorry to interrupt" an awkward smile tugged at her lips."take a seat Carly" I pointed to the other seat next to Angelo. She sat down awkwardly, pushing her blonde hair behind her shoulders. In all of the years I had never seen Carly so awkward, she was always so joyful... but right now she looked as though she had seen a ghost. "What can I help you with?" I stubbed the cigarette out, before leaning forward on the desk."well.... Urm... me and the girls.... well we... ya know..." I knew she was lying to me. When Carly lied her nose twitched slightly and her eyes open fully."no i dont know..." Angelo replied for me, taking a sip of his drink."ok great..." she chirped.

It had been a week... a week since Sam took me. I had hoped Christiano would have come and taken me away by now... But now I'd lost all hope, I didn't care anymore, there wasn't any point of living anymore. Sam would bring me food, but I wouldn't touch it and I hadn't eaten in days. I spent every hour in the corner of the room, my knees pulled closely to my chest. "You've got to eat V." Sam pushed the tray closer towards me, but I kicked it back with my foot. "Please?" he pushed it back, crouching down next to me. Again I kicked it away, this time knocking over the glass of water in the process. "I don't want to eat. you can't force me to eat." "I need you alive for this all to work!" he grabbed the bread roll of the tray holding it up to my mouth "you mean nothing to me dead.""Tough. I'm sorry I'm not cooperating with your stupid little plans" His eyes seared into me, before his hand roughly grabbed my jaw. "есть женщина" "Sam your hurting me!" he squeezed my cheeks harshly, fo

Eventually I found the dressing area, considering it was the first day the room was a mess... Carly sat perched on a stool, covering her eye lids in strong silver glitter. Her face lit up as she saw me, ushering me over quickly. "you slept with him?" she screeched. "shhhh" I hushed "noone can know... and besides... it wasn't that kind of sleeping... we literally slept...""he never let's anyone sleep in his room... a girl tried to do it once and he got his men to carry the bed out and he slept on the couch." we both laughed. "You've broken the big bad wolf" "he's not that bad...he's actually really sweet" I didn't even believe myself... ---That night the club was packed. Every seat was taken and men crowded around the stages, hands full of dollars. Christiano's new office has a large one way window overlooking the club. I sat on a chair with his phone next to me. 'the phones going to busy he said... needs answering he said' not one call. I quite liked it up here... I could see t

My room was my safe space. I locked the heavy door behind me, before sliding down it. Why was I so upset? I didn't actually like him did I? "Vanessa open the door" Carly said, knocking lightly "let me in, we can talk about it" "I...im not ready to.. I just... need to be alone... can we talk in the morning?" "okay" she said in protest. "I'm right next door if you need me" --When I woke up the next morning I had a plan. Screw him. I was going back to work whether he liked it or not. "are you sure about this? he's gonna be pretty mad.." Carly asked as we walked into the wardrobe ladies room. "yep. he doesn't own me..." I trailed off "well he does but I was hired to dance... so that's what I'll do.." "Vanessa I didn't expect to see you again... Boss said you were done..." Isobel appeared from behind the wracks of clothing. She was an ex dancer turned seamstress, and boy was she good at it. "well I changed my mind. I'm back in. I want something new. Green maybe" I spoke, my eyes la
