Irene's PoV:
"Whatever it is… I hate you soo much. But I don't want you to die. You deserve to live Bellamisa… this world needs you"
And with that he crashed over me, his face lying over my waist. I tried to move him, but his hands snaked over me so tightly that I couldn't even catch my breath.
I failed to move him and with his breath dancing around my belly button, I couldn't be at peace. Nothing is going good.
What is the matter with him? He repeated 'I hate you' like a million times but none of his actions aligned with his words.
He even understood I am wishing for death. Though he was beyond drunk, all his actions just made me feel wanted and it's the first time since Granny passed away someone wants me to be alive.
Somehow I felt a blush rising on my cheeks as I heard him snoring sleeping on my stomach. My mind has flashed images of his fingers trailing over my body as I trespassed into his room just wearing a towel.
I felt knots forming in my stomach and even the simple eye stare from him is making me feel like I am being valued.
What if we were not rivals? What if we are normal people, like Shelly or Ayda who doesn't have to live every second wearing a bulletproof vest or fearing a threat? What if we had been doing something petty and met somewhere.
I felt too silly dreaming all this, utterly stupid. Maybe that's what dreams are for, finding happiness in an alternate universe as reality is often gruesome.
Zach Accardo, the Mafia lord who was even able to scare my father is now snoring softly sleeping over me like a baby. Though he was quite heavy and held me strongly I could only smile, ear to ear.
My mind replayed what all has happened and somehow I felt good about all the things, why am I forming an emotional bond? That too with the person who hates my family?
Why am I feeling good here? I need to go back within days no matter what. So all I have is now, this night.
I wanted to stay awake but I couldn't. My eyelids felt immensely heavy and his snoring sounded like a lullaby and slowly I slipped into a deep slumber.
~~~~~~~~
Feeling severe ache all over my body, I open my eyes and the room was still dark. This man has not moved an inch and was in the same position as he was the last time I open my eyes.
What time it is? I could see nothing. This place doesn't even have wall clocks, had someone opened the curtains, at least by looking at the weather and climate I could have deduced what time it is.
I tried to push him away as my body is aching carrying his weight. Hearing the sound of the open door I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Morning Irene, didn't you wake up yet?" it's Marie's voice.
Ohh Noo… please go away Marie, it will be worse if you see us in this position. What if she thinks it in the wrong way? Please no..
I open one of my eyes to see what she was doing and I saw her drawing the curtains and the light orange sun rays peeked in.
"Wake u…" she couldn't complete her sentence.
She must have seen us, in this awkward position. Please God bail us out.
"Ohh God, what is this" I heard Marie bellow. I tried to look as if I am still asleep, but my heartbeat raced. Hopefully, she couldn't hear it.
"What is Zach doing here and why is he asleep in her bed hugging her?" Marie's was yelling loudly.
Please Marie just go away, it is soo embarrassing.
"Capo… Capo" I could hear her voice and soon I felt his body shaking and I understood that Marie is trying hard to wake him up.
"Capo.. please open your eyes" she moved him.
"Irene, wake up" now I can feel her pat over my shoulders.
No way am I going to face her, I am just going to act as if nothing happened.
I felt water sprinkled over my waist.
"Arghh.." I heard a growl from that rough voice and his face shifted from left to the right and in the process, his lips barely brushed against my belly button.
Ohh God.. I felt a trillion knots form beneath my stomach, somewhere and I don't even know what it is. I felt soo uncontrollable and his breath tickled me to the core.
"Capo.. you need to wake up. It's an emergency" I heard Marie speak.
"Emergency?" his voice was slow and I heard him yawning.
Slowly I felt his head moving away and all of a sudden I felt unbearable empty, I no longer felt the tickles as his hands pulled away from me, I missed his warmth and I am not liking it.
Though I tried to push him away so much, when he really distanced himself I am not liking it. What is wrong with me?
Why can't he just sleep back??
God Irene… what the hell is wrong with you?
"What are you doing in my room Marie?" his voice was harsh, I kept my eyes shut though I was insanely nervous.
I have no idea what had happened but within a few seconds, I heard a scream.
"What the Fuck…." He yelled soo loudly.
"What is she doing in my room Marie?" he asked.
"Actually it's the room given to her, you are in her room" I heard Marie answer him.
Now I desperately want to open my eyes and see the bulb bursting over his head, I felt it impossible to control my laughter.
I just wanted to see his expression and what followed is silence. I heard nothing except my racing heartbeat.
After what felt like an eternity, I heard him call, "Marie"
"Yes Capo?" does everyone have to respect him so much? Ain't she elder to him?
"This matter shouldn't reach any ear" he sounded as if he is giving a warning.
"I am assuring you Capo"
I felt the bed suddenly feel very light and I can sense him going away and I don't want that to happen.
