There was another knock at the as I was about to leave the restroom, I know I stayed longer than I should, but why is he panicking, nothing will happen to me, well for now at least. if only he knew I am a different person with him. He is making me a wide cat, " lily are you ok, in there", there's no assassin in the bathroom, why is he worried, if I stay in here too much he might break the door down, I walked out of the restroom with a towel around my chest, as I let my hair fall on my shoulder. I glared at him, he has become so different, he looks bothered than usual, I could see sweat beads on his head, and his fingers knotted tightly " sorry, just that I thought I would never see you again " he said, leaving me shocked. We just met today, is he ok? " Uhm, sorry, just nervous, get a grip of yourself Lucian, uhm bye, get dressed" he said before leaving the room, now I am convinced he's a psycho Mafia, everything has gone south, in 24 hours, I guess that's the best thing to say, I n

The moment I have been waiting for, "yes " I replied, still holding my breath, can't believe I am married to a mafia, I knew he was holding his breath. It a challenge for both of us, " Lily, if we can't make this work we would never see each other again" he said, Finally, let out the air he has been holding for a long time. Thank you Lucian, for accepting me. He pulled me in for a long and passionate kiss . I am married to a mafia, he unhooked the necklace on his neck, looks like a ring was used as a pendant. He removed the ring then raised my right hand up. He inserted the ring on my finger. I looked majestic, there was a word engraved on it. My love . I was swept by emotion. " It belongs to my mother it was the last piece of her,I could keep to remember her I want you to have it because I know it's safe with you, looking at you I finally accepted that I haven't gotten over my pain and my past but please I don't want to stain your future lily I wa

Wow who would have thought that's the only way to turn on the heart bulb was through emotions. I looked at the magnificent light of the bulbs. It actually cheered my heart looking at the lighting emitting from it , I felt light headed, my mystery crush really knows how to cheer me up.. I stared at the lamp for hours, as I poured out my feelings. I hope Lucian feels better. It would be hard to forget him. I picked up the lamp as I made a wish, " I wish you could hear me Lucy, I miss you alot" I said before dropping the lamp. I needed space,I walked out of my room leaving the heart lamb beside me, I looked at my hand and I felt warm. The word engraved on it really warms my heart to know that he also sacrificed something very special to him. I caressed the ring with my thumb as I looked at different people walking and talking happily, I needed to call Kate, it was indeed a short notice, but I had no control. I need to be far from home," hi Kate how are you doing.... I a

"Lucian? What are you doing here?"He looks as handsome as ever, I actually thought I would never see him again, " I am sorry for scaring you", he said as he pulled me in for a hug, I missed him so much, I miss the feeling I get when I am with him. I hugged him back," I am also sorry for trying to break your head with a lamp", he giggled like a four year old, " I missed you alot, I couldn't bear another day without seeing you " he said before pulling me in for a kiss. I missed the taste of his lips so much, I leaned forward, and held his shoulders for support, since he was taller than I am, he deepened his kiss,and my mind was blown. He lifted me up, effortlessly, and I sat on his arms, like a father carrying his daughter, " Lily, are you ok?" He asked without breaking the kiss, I felt loved, as a warm feeling crawled into my skin, he placed me on the bed, like a feather. He laid beside me, into her to catch his breath, " I am sorry for leaving you the da

I was approached by two men, when I was two blocks away from the lecture hall, " hola, shorty" one of the guys said, they look Mexican, who are they calling shorty, I ain't short. Another set of guys approached me from behind, they looked mischievous, I tried stepping back, I should run, I need to get out of here before I get raped or robbed, worse kidnapped. The streets were unusually lonely, and I couldn't cry for help, " wh-at do you want?", I asked, as I stepped back, I hope I get robbed rather than being beaten. " Oh shorty- shorty, we want you, señora, you be looking fine!!"One of the guys said, as he licked his lips seductively, I had no money with me to bribe them, and I was thirty minutes late to lectures. " Please let me go" I said even knowing fully well that it's of no use, I was panicking, fear crept into my soul, and I was almost creepled because my legs were affected as well, " sure shorty, you can leave" the guy from the back said. I
