She looks exhausted. He watched her, how she lifted her forearm to wipe the traces of sweat on her forehead and swipe a stray strand of her brown hair to the side. Red tee shirt tucked loosely into her dark jeans, she looked frail. Thin, worn out. His heart ached; was this the kind of life losing her job with the Rogers has subjected her to?Working late hours? Luca had never really been a frequent in this side of town, infact, it was his very first time here. It smelled of sauce, street food and crime. He was in a simple dark shirt and dark jeans this time around, hoping not to magnet any attention or troublemakers. He couldn't be seen here. Yet, he was here, for her, for her safety. Whatever it was Luke felt was going to threaten her safety tonight, he needed to be there to make sure it doesn't come remotely close to happening. All the hours that went by in which he spent daydreaming about her, he couldn't truly believe she was right here before his eyes, looking so weak. Could

The walk up the stairs was a very long and tiring one. Several times she had swayed or stumbled, and he would have to hold unto her to stop her from falling, muttering soothing words all along. His touch was oddly warm, it felt tingly too, like sparks against her skin. She tried her hardest to ignore it, although all she wanted to do was succumb into his embrace and let his warm scent engulf her. They arrived at the door to her small apartment, and with a deep sigh, a pause and a silent prayer, she lifted her hand, knocking on the door. Luca stood firmly behind her, he could see she was nervous. Ye stared around, at anywhere else but her. The dirty brown tiles that were broken and cracked in many spots in the long hallway of doors. The door swung open forcefully, and a short elderly woman peeked at them, eyes full of worry and surprise. "Hazel... Where have you been?" She gasped, her worried eyes scanning her frightfully.Hazel heaved, forcing a tight lipped smile."Sorry I am late G

Hazel shuffled around awkwardly as her grandmother led Luca's tall frame to a sofa in the living room. Their house was not a big one, yet it was small, comfortable and smelt of a floral air freshener Hazel made sure to hang sure in the corner. It was clean as always, and standing there knowing it couldn't compare even a fraction to the mansion he was used to, she was oddly not worried about what he thought of her small space. "You have a beautiful home, ma'am." Luca commended with a small smile. Hazel's grandson beamed. "Thank you, son." She turned sharply to Hazel... "Ah, Hazel, I had almost forgotten about you, please seat down. Are you hurting?"Hazel smiled weakly, shaking her head. "I think I am fine.""She might need some pain killers, and perhaps a cold compress." Luca stated. "That is true, Hazel. Seat down, now." Her grandma ordered, shooing her into a seat in the living room. Luca watched with an awkward smile, rubbing his chin lightly as her grandmother left them both

The walk to Lucas' car is silent. The cold night breeze washed over the both of them. Luca tucks his hands into his pocket, and Hazel rubs her arms with both hands, lowering her head and biting her lower lip nervously. They approach his car successfully, he inserts the key, unlocking the door before turning to her. He stares down at her for a moment, she is staring up at him too, her brows slightly furrowed, and he is happy seeing her anything but defiant this time. She looks... Worried? She bit her lower lip, he swallowed, watching her release the plump lip, his eyes lifted back to her eyes and a deep blush appeared upon her rosy cheeks. He smiled inwardly. She brushed strands of hair away from her hair, clearing her throat. "Thank you."He raised a brow, staring to the left and then back at her. "Thank you? For?"She gave him a look, rolling her eyes. "Thank you for saving me Mr. Rossi.""You can call me look Luca." He murmured. "That is not necessary Mr. Rossi." She shook her

She blinked at her, unable to believe the gist filling her ears.Hazel nodded her head softly, flipping the egg in the pan on the stove. Anna had come over this morning for breakfast, and her friend was spilling some irresistible tea already.Anna shook her head, her face housing a wide grin. "So you're telling me... Lucas Rossi was here in this house, and he saved you from an attack, rode you in his car, and even met your grandmother?" She walked over to Hazel, eyes it up like torches in some sort of second hand happiness and excitement over it all.Hazel scoffed, unable to understand why her friend seemed so excited about it all. She had asked this over and over again, and each time she affirmed, her friend would let out and excited squeal with she was unwilling to hear again. "For the fifth time, yes." She groaned out.Anna shook her head in disbelief once more

Luca stared up at Hazel. Her honey colored eyes held a great deal of surprise, but there was no trace of anger, so he felt his formerly tense nature dwindle slightly. He closed the magazine in his hands, placing it flat on the table. "What are you doing here?" Hazel questioned, brows still raised. She stared at him, his dark hair was slightly tousled and a certain kind of tiredness made his formerly bright blue eyes seem dull. She couldn't explain it, but there was a squeezing feeling in her chest as she continued to stare at him, almost like... Almost like she was happy to see him. She has found it difficult not to think of him ever since, but she had been determined to try, and now, he was seating right here before her, like she was in a trance, once again imagining meeting him.He cleared his throat lightly, turning his head away for a moment. "It's a restaurant." He shrugged.Her brows furrowed ad she glared at him. Hazel resisted a brewing urge to roll her eyes at this man. Th

When Anna was done curling, styling and packing her hair, she let Hazel look in the mirror. She had done a very light make up on her, only because she severally protested that it be so. And looking in the mirror, she did not regret that choice. "I look...""Stunning." Anna completed, smiling in satisfaction as she stared back at her in the mirror. Hazel smiled, a blush rising her cheeks. A small chuckle left her lips and she shook her head a little, as if she did not believe she could truly look this pretty. It almost looked like she wasn't just some common servant turned waitress in a restaurant.Anna placed her hand on her shoulders, rubbing them in reassurance. "You look stunning, Hazel."Hazel grinned, a blush tinting her formerly pale cheeks. "For once, I actually think I do."Anna threw her head back, blonde hair falling out of their messy bun as she laughed. "I am glad you do, now, let me get you into a pair of comfortable shoes."She walked over to an organizer full of sever

Hazel smiled weakly, lifting her fork. She stared at the food on the plate in front of her, it looked very delicious, she could even sense her mouth watering already, yet why did she feel a bit at a loss of appetite? "I work two shifts almost everyday, it's only natural I would be exhausted."She forced herself to dig into her plate, cautious to eat very carefully, cutting a piece of stick and sticking it into her mouth. "Why do you work two shifts?" Luca asked, his brows furrowed.Hazel shrugged, letting out a soft hum as she chewed her food carefully, savoring it's flavours. She almost smiled, she has never really eaten food this fancy before. "Because not everybody is privileged enough to be born wealthy in this lifetime Mr. Rossi."She almost sounded angry, bur she couldn't help it. She shook her head a little to remind herself to stay calm, Luca Rossi was not a direct cause of her problems.He nodded, he almost seemed sad, she did not like that look on his face. Like he pitied h
