"Stay close to people who feel like sunlight"~ Unknown Knock! Knock!Light knocking on the door makes me wake up drowsily, I look around the empty bedroom, Salvatore left early this morning saying he had to help his brother track down the threat.Knock! Knock!I gaze at the door, "come in" I say groggily, I sit up, leaning my back against the headboard, my lower body feels soar, we were up half of the night making love.Last night after Senior Capo's confession Salvatore was distraught.I spent the night consoling him, he didn't cry, he was just confused about his emotions which was stressing him out, my heart is hurts knowing that I can't do anything to save him from this pain.I look at the maid who walks inside rolling in a cart full of delicious breakfast, I'm surprised to see Lucia following behind her.I cover my bare legs with the duvet, my upper body is covered with Salvatore's previously discarded shirt, I wore it because I was feeling cold."Buongiorno" (Good morning) Luci
"The only thing more dangerous than ignorance is arrogance"~ Albert Einstein "DAISY!" a hear a screaming voice penetrate through my buzzing head, a firm hand grabs my arm, my body comes out of the shock, I turn around to see a panicked Lucia holding onto me."Come!" She screams on top of all the chaos, only one guard is left with us, he grabs Lucia's hand as she does mine, he starts bolting towards the nearest exit, my heart drops as I realize we're on the third floor of the mall."Prenderemo le scale, state bassi" (We'll take the stairs, stay low) the guard yells descending down the stairs.Gun shots ring all around us, I duck down just in time as a bullet pierces the wall above me, the concrete wall explodes making dust fly around.I cough out loud but don't stop, "Ho bisogno di rinforzi! Siamo sotto attacco!" (I need back up! We're under attack!) The guard screams in his bluetooth.He finally stops at the last stair and gestures us to wait, I can hear my harsh breathing thumping
"And little by little, she found the courage for it all"~ JH HardA strong force hits my chest, "oomph" I whimper as I fall down on the ground, my left elbow hits hard on the floor."Che diavolo!?" (What the hell!?) the boss says annoyed, I lift up my face to see what just happened, the guard who was with us for our protection had pushed me away and taken the bullet to his chest."No!" I gasp in horror, he groans on the ground clutching his chest, I crawl towards him and hold onto him, thank god the bullet hit his right side."Sto bene signora, corri" (I'm fine madam, run) he grits his teeth in pain, tears fill my eyes as I look at his bloodied hand covering up his wound."Capo i Moretti sono qui" (Boss the Moretti's are here) a guard walks up to the boss and announces, "Finalmente!" (finally!) he says with a wicked laugh, he strides towards me clutching my hair in his bruising grip."Ahh" I dig my nails in his hand, he pulls my hair further, "stand up bitch, it's time to meet your
"The truth is, some people will never know you, and utterly hate you for who they think you are"~ Samantha King HolmesI yelp as the panicked boss pulls me towards him with his gun pointed to my temple, I look up at Salvatore in fear."Non imparano mai" (They never learn) he says shaking his head in fake disappointment, "Sto arrivando" (I'm coming) he throws his rifle away putting his hand up in a surrendering motion, he steps back, I glance towards the stairs then back at the second floor.I'm left stunned when I see him jumping from the second floor, I move towards him but the boss stops me, I watch in horror as Salvatore lands on his feet looking perfect.Did he actually do that? I'm too stunned, my eyes frantically scan his body, he shurgs his shoulder and looks at me "Sto bene tesoro" (I'm fine baby) he winks at me, my body relaxes.He makes his way towards us, he's wearing the a black uniform similar to the men on the second floor."Fermare! Un altro passo e te ne pentirai!" (S
"This is who we are, a product of war"~ Unknown "He just left without uttering a single words" I say sadly, resting my chin above my knees, I glance at Ray whose lying on the bed infront of me, she's staring at the ceiling deep in thought.She came to visit me in my room 2 hours ago, I ate up her brain by telling her everything from how Salvatore and I started dating in Russia to what just happened a few hours ago.She was kind enough to listen to my banter without complaining, she offered me her support everytime I broke down."I'm surprised how you have managed it all alone" she turns to her side, resting her head above her hand."I just want a normal life Ray, but I know being with Salvatore I can only dream of it" I sigh, pulling my legs closer to my body as a sense of comfort."I love him so much, I can't live without him, but I can't live like this either, everyday there's something big waiting for me, every morning I wake up and look myself in the mirror thinking what kind of
"They call us dreamers but they are the we're the one's who don't sleep"~ Unknown I clutch tightly on Salvatore's arm as he leads us to the dining area, I'm regretting each step we are taking towards our destination.It was my idea to eat breakfast with his family, Salvatore wasn't too fond of it but I persisted. Now, I'm the one who wants to head back into the safety of my room.A guard opens the door for us, the clinking of utensils stop, everyone on the table gazes at us, I bow down my head instantly.Of you keep on being submissive then they will never accept you as one of their own, my subconscious pokes me.I raise my head making eye contact with each member, I see the surprised look on Madam Guilia's face, my smile brightens as I find Lucia seated beside Capo Giovanni.She greets me by nodding her head, there is a bandage on her temple, apart from the traces of shadow under her eyes she seems better.Salvatore puts his hand on my spine guiding me towards the table "good morni
"I was compelled to love you, not because you are the fairest, but because you are the deepest, for a lover of a beauty is usually a fool"~ Mahmoud Darwish "Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask side eyeing Salvatore, I returned back to our room and sat by the window, minutes later he followed behind, he strided towards me stopping a few inches away.I glanced at him, my face all red because of anger, his eyes had amusement in them, he didn't utter a word and kept on staring until I couldn't take it anymore and pointed it out.I turn away my gaze back to the scenic view outside, I don't know why I'm radiating so much anger, I just couldn't hold it today.I sense him nearing me, he takes a seat beside me on the window seat, I don't pay attention, his stare burning my side.I huff annoyed, he chuckles, I gaze at him frowning "I can't believe I didn't know that this side of you existed all along, It's like I'm seeing a new Daisy" he says amused.I don't bother to respond "hey!" H
"There are friends, there is family, and then there are friends that become family"~ Unknown Yesterday was a beautiful day, Salvatore and I spent it together indulging in different activities, it brought us closer in a way.My love for him is increasing by 10 folds each day, I glance at him laying on his stomach beside me, I turn my body towards him and trace his spine with my pointer finger, his skin is so hard and rough compared to mine but I love it.I get close to him, my naked breast press against his left arm, I kiss his shoulder blade.I never thought I could love someone so much, I feel like the only reason why I'm living is now because of him, my each breath is for him.My man, I whisper to myself with a giddy smile.I glance at the heavy ring on my ring finger, I don't know when it happened but now I'm used to this ring, I don't remove it from my finger apart from when I take a shower.I'm his woman and he's mine. My heart swells at the thoughtI keep on tracing patterns o
