#Skylar P. O. V
The drive back home was filled with silence and all I did was look outside and watch the rain fall endlessly I think this weather is copying my mood because that’s all I want to do at the moment cry
I could feel Adriens gaze on me the whole way but I didn’t bother turning around I just kept my gaze locked on the rain.
We finally arrive back home and I notice how it seems there is more security than before …. I got out the car still quite, me and Adrian both enter the house and the moment I step into the main living room , someone wrapped their hands around Me
“C-Can’t bre-ath”I choke out and the arms release me
“Omg I’m so sorry sky I was so worried about you, how are you feeling”Jen asks me looking at me worriedly
I gave her a weak smile “I’ve been better”my voice is a little cracky and I can tell I’m gonna have a cold.
“I’m going to take a hot bath and sleep “I mumble as I walk out of the living room giving everyone a weak smile . it was really late now and all I want to do is sleep.
I open my room door and grab some clothes in my closet before going into the bathroom
I turn the shower on getting in and letting the hot water warm my cold body
Water mixes with my Tears as I silently cry
This has always been my life at first I was the nerd always hidding in an attempt to get away from the pain. The pain of my mother sometimes blaming me for ruining her life that’s why she sold me anyways,, the pain of knowing she never really loved me, pain of my best friends turning their backs on me. back then I was always scared always so scared
Then I ran away like the coward I am and I got stronger I worked so hard so I could show them all I wasn’t the old me so I could show them I wasn’t scared anymore but in reality I was
Then I was sold and the fear started to collapse the walls I’ve built for so long and I allowed them to. With the people that kidnapped me and the man that bought me I found the courage to be myself and when I was kidnapped again I found the strength to escape, yh I found it in myself to escape all because of one reason all because I wanted to see him.
Adrian
The mafia leader that bought me , he actually makes me feel safe in his arms I feel like I belong there …. I know I belong in his arms, And there I’ll stay
By the time I got out of the shower the water had turned cold I pulled on my short shorts and an oversized T-Shirt.
I climb into bed and got under the covers ,, it’s still raining heavily.
Have you ever had an idea felt like it was really good and then when you’re about to do it you’re like ‘Why the hell did I think this was a good idea’
Well if yes then that’s me at this moment I’m standing outside of Adrians door and way too chicken to knock I mean I can see the lights beaming through the door openings meaning he’s still awake but I can’t knock.
How did I get here well I was sleeping peacefully when it started to thunder and since I was a kid I’ve always been scared of thunder and I couldn’t sleep so I thought I’d ask Adrian if I could sleep with him and now that I’m outside his door I feel like its a bad idea.
‘Just do it you idiot ‘ my subconscious mind yells at Me
I take a deep breath and move my hand to knock but before my hand can make contact with the door it swings open
And my eyes shamelessly look at the hot devil in front of me
My eyes trail up his pyjamas that are hanging a little too long showing his V line I notice a small tattoo on his abdomen its a lion with a crown on its head in the crown it says ‘re della mafia’ in it I keep going up his well toned abs and biceps that are just begging Me to touch them I look up his face my face reddens when I notice the smirk on his face
I’m so Busted
“What is it chica” His voice is shockingly soft I look up at him in confusion ‘Why is he being so nice’
It takes me a while to find my voice but I finally do “Sorry to disturb you I’ll just leave “I try to turn around but he stops me by holding my arm I look up at him in confusionContent © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Tell me”He orders but not in a harsh way..
“Well um I’m scared of the thunder so I just wanted to know if I could sleep in your room”I confidently blurted out and now that I’m saying it outloud I realise how stupid I sound I probably look like a little kid
I look up at Adrian and expected him to laugh at me but he doesn’t .. his eyes soften as he wink at me
He pulls me into his room and I stumble a little …
I entered in his room its really big with a giant king size bed in the middle there is a sitting place around, a fire place, two double doors, Two flat screen Tv’s all in different areas around the room
“Go to sleep chica “Adrians warm breath hits my back sending slight shivers down my back I walk over the bed and climb on it.
The lights went off and my heart starts to beat rapidly the bed dipts to the other side and I’m pulled into a hard chest
Adrian’s warm breath on my neck and his warmth arms trailed my waist like a lullaby,, the thundering outside doesn’t even do a thing to me now as sleep hits me hard
“Good night my Queen”I couldnt really make out what he said but I think it was something nice and sweet
A small smile came on my lips as sleep took over and I slept peacefully in his warm arms….
