"I-I am sorry. I didn't mean…." I stuttered my spoon falling from my hands as they shake in fear.Why was he reacting this way? It's just a name isn't it? If he doesn't like it he should say he doesn't like it. Why is he-"You should learn to mind your business." He snapped at me. His reaction a complete opposite of how he was yesterday, I see him gradually putting back the walls he let down earlier." I'm so-" I reach out to him but he pulls his arm away before I could touch him, still glaring at me."What's that delicious thing I smell… Oh." Natalie walks into the kitchen, stopping when she sees us both. Santino glances at her, but he doesn't do more than that. "I feel the tension here and I'm about to back away slowly… " She trailed off as she starts backing away, retracing her steps when she came here.I give her a pleading look and she sighs, walking over to us. "You're scaring her. Stop it." She tells him as she sits beside me, putting her arm around me."Is she a child? Huh Na
A knock on my door causes me to look up, making me finally move from the curled postion I've been in for the past few hours.I wonder who it is, I'm not expecting anyone to come see me. Maybe they came to finally throw me out of the house, they all seemed really angry then. I kept staring at the door expecting the person to come in because the door wasn't locked.When the person knocks a second time, I am forced to voice out a ‘come in’, my eyes still on the door waiting to see who was at my door.Slowly the door opens, and Saint walks into the room slowly, his shoes clicking against the tiled floor. He sweeps the room with his eyes and his lips form a frown when he doesn't see me.“Micini?" He calls out, his voice sounding cold and yet my name coming from his lips sends some sort of heatwave down my body.Come to think of it, I don't think he has ever said my name.“I'm down here." I say, barely audible. I don't think he heard me. I'm about to clear my throat and talk a bit louder
_Santino’s POV_I leave her room just as Luca turns a corner, about to go down the staircase. .“Luca." I call his name and he stops, turning to look at me with a knowing smirk on his face and I fight the urge to wipe the look off his face with my fists. “I just knew you would chase after me." He says smugly, leaning against the wall with his arm folded across his chest.Luca is my younger brother with a seven years difference between us. He's not just my younger brother, he's practically my son because I raised him.After the death of our mother he started hating me and we drifted apart.He's only doing this to piss me off and I know it, he probably took an interest in Micini just because he thinks I'm interested in her. Not that he's wrong.“This is about Minny,isn't it?”He asks and my fists fold by my sides, hating the nickname he calls her. I see how you look at her.” He says and my eyes snaps to him, waiting for what he would say next.“I see the way your eyes follow her every
_Micini’s POV_I stood still in shock as he claimed my lips with his, my eyes widened like saucers.What is happening… .I clamp my lips shut when his tongue pokes at me, asking for entrance into my mouth, when I don't grant him access he bites down on my lips harshly causing me to cry out in pain, which he used as an opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth.I could feel the hard muscles under his shirt as he presses his body against mine, my hands still hanging above my head. Our kiss intensifies when I finally give in to him, kissing him back.He holds my wrist together with one hand, using the other to hold me tightly against him, like he wanted our bodies to fuse and become one. After a few moments of kissing, he starts peppering my neck with kisses earning a moan from me.I am surprised by the sound that comes out from my lips.“You. Are. Mine." He says in-between kisses before his teeth clamped down on my neck. “Ow." I screamed out in pain pushing him away with a glare.
The next day came by fast without me seeing Santino, which made me wonder if he was avoiding me. He had stormed out of my room yesterday and I don't think I was ready to face him again after the kiss we shared.“Minny.” Natalie whined in my ears, snapping me out of my thoughts, I turned to meet her eyes, immediately looking away when I meet her puppy dog eyes.I can't give in to her. Earlier, Natalie had dressed me up for school while ignoring all protests made by me. Really no surprise there, but at times I wished she listened to me.“I really don't want to, please." I plead with her, hoping she hears the desperation in my voice and lets me be. We were currently standing in the living room where she was trying to convince me to come with her.“It won't be that bad, promise. " She whined like a child once again while clutching my arm tightly.I tried to pull my arm out of her grasp hoping she would see how desperate I was and let go. All my years with Daniel and I never went to a
_Santino’s POV_"Saint?” I hear her ask in a vulnerable tone, her voice barely audible, causing a swirl of emotions in me. She stared up at me with large eyes, looking confused like she didn't expect to see me here, because she obviously didn't.I didn't miss the tears in her eyes, barely few seconds away from breaking free and staining her beautiful face.She would look so beautiful when she cried.I turn my attention to the boy that almost made her cry and he takes a step back, fear clearly written on his face.I am the only one that can make her cry and I would kill whosoever brings a tear to her face.“Saint." She whimpers, grabbing my shirt with her tiny hands as a tear slides down her cheek, instantly sparking my anger.“Saint, wha-what are you doing here?” He stutters in fear, looking between Micini and I.Since he knows who I am, his family should be doing a business with mine, making it even easier to destroy him.“Where's Natalie, love?” I ask her softly as I controlled my
_Micini’s POV_I stayed quietly between Santino's leg, my head resting on his chest as I stared out of the window.Santino placed his palm on my thigh and I stilled, holding my breath as I waited for what he would do next. I tried to control my fear and fast beating heart, reminding myself that Santino was not Daniel and he wouldn't hurt me. After a few minutes and his palms remained still, not going above where he kept it, I finally let out a breath.An Ice cream shop came to sight and I watched it as we passed by, instantly craving for ice cream.I wish we could go get some. I let out a sigh as we zoomed passed buildindsy, going farther away from the ice cream shop. “Turn the car around." Santino orders, surprising me and the driver who obeys without saying anything.We stopped at the ice cream shop and the driver helped me out of the car, holding my hand for a few seconds longer.Santino snatched my hand away from him, a frown forming on his face as he stared at his driver disple
_Micini’s POV_Speechless, I raised my fingers to touch my lips, it felt moist under my touch. Adam stood up forcefully, the chair he was sitting on scrapping loudly against the tiles as it pushed back.Saint had a cold look on his face as he looked at Adam, his face not giving out what he was thinking. Without any word, Adam picks up his stuff and walks out of the Ice cream shop, my eyes following his every move. The door banged so loudly it was a miracle it didn't break. Why did he leave? And without buying any ice cream. Confusion etched on my face as I watched him walk away. “Do you like the ice cream?" Saint asks me, anf I turned my attention to him.He had an unreadable expression on his face, sending warning bells to my head. Slowly and carefully, I nod my head.“Use your words." He orders, sending thrills down my spine. “I did." I stuttered. I have no idea what he was thinking right now and it scared me more than anything.Is he angry about Adam? “I left you for just
