"You're leaving" Romano said throwing a gown on my body.
Sitting up properly, I furrowed my eyebrow at him. I'm leaving?
"I don't understand" Ever since that break in 2 days ago, he's been acting strange.
I heard they caught one of the guys but he's been in the T room. Romano said he needed to beg for death before he gives it to him.
I felt a sour feeling in my mouth when I remembered how he gripped my thighs spreading them apart. It was so terrifying.
"Can't think well knowing you're home alone with these incompetent fuckers. Not again" He stretched his hand out to me. I looked at it for a while before placing mine on it
"So... You're sending me packing?" Unsure, I asked
"Sending you packing?" He scoffed. "You're fucking leaving to work with me"
This man needed to learn how to communicate. But something else dawned on me. For some reason, when I heard those words I felt sad. I didn't feel happy to leave.
Maybe because I knew it was impossible and he might be playing a prank on me. That's a valid reason right?
"I don't have much time, Peach." He said calmly, pulling me to the front of the bathroom. "Do... Do you want help in there?"
Did he just stutter?
"I'm not going to break, Romano. I promise, I'm fine now" I knew he was worried about me even though he wouldn't admit it.
He doesn't say anything but just stares at my eyes. He leaned in, making me back up against the wall. "Don't ever lie to me about things like this"
I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. "How would you know if I'm lying"
"As long as it's you, Peach. I will always know" He said, his voice coming at lowly. "You have 15 minutes to get down or I'll have to drag you down myself"
I arched my brows at him, wondering how his demeanor switched from loving and caring to ice cold. This man really needs to be studied.
He always made it seem as though I was interacting with 2 different persons in the span of minutes. That was really scary.
"10 minutes now, Peach" I heard Romano yell from outside.
Oh shit!
°•°
"Wow, you work here?" I looked at the building in awe. My jaw literally dropped to the flow when he led me into the building.
"I own it" His voice was firm and authoritative. "Let's go to my office" He slipped his fingers into mine, Intertwining them together. The warmth of his palm on mine made shiver run down my spine. I felt something flutter my stomach as he tugged me into the elevator.
"You... You did this all by yourself" I asked, trying to get my mind away from the sparks I was feeling deep down my stomach
He pulled me in front of him, wrapping his arm around my waist, removing my hair from my shoulder before leaning his chin on my bare shoulder.
His breath fanned my neck, sending more chills down my spine. "Would you be surprised if I told you that I studied business management?"
Mafia men go to school?
The thought of him in a uniform cracked me up, making me smile.
"You don't believe me right?" He asked, chuckling darkly in my ear. His pointed nose tickled me as he glided it up and down my neck
Squirming, I tried to push him away. "I'm just wondering how you looked in uniform and all that. You mean, you took orders from someone else?"
"My teacher offered to fuck me. I was that charming"
Wait... What?
"When you were little?" I turned to face him, flashing him a sad smile.
"No, Peach. In college. If you don't believe me you can ask Ma.." His body stiffened, gently taking his hands off me and adjusting his standing position.
"Are you okay?" I asked, studying his current mood. He had withdrawn himself. Why?
"Come" was all he said, pulling me out of the elevator which just opened.
He was about to tell me to ask someone. Ma? His mother?
Why would he tell me to ask someone who wants me 6 feet under. Maybe he remembered and decided not to complete it.
Out of curiosity, I asked. "Who's Ma? Or is there a full name to that?"
His mother's name is Miriam so he would've said Mi. Why am I so worked up about this?
"Ma? I didn't say anything" He said, shutting the door behind us, after we entered his office. "You didn't come to play. So, quit talking and get to work" He said, walking to his shelf.
"Could've fooled me" I muttered lowly to myself. I really thought he just brought me out because he cared about me or something. I mean, that's how he made it sound.
So, he brought me here to work.
Very typical of him.
"Sort these files out and arrange them in their order. Try not to snoop into my business. The more you know too much about me, the more eyes i would have on you" He smirked, dropping a shot load of file on the center table.
"Why make me dress pretty if I was coming to work" I groaned, blowing off the dust from the paper. "Seems like you've been avoiding these files for a long while"
"I didn't trust anyone enough to handle this particular set of file" He said, handing me his handkerchief. "Are you sure you got this?" He arched his eyebrow at me
A tiny sneeze escaped my nose. I quickly took the handkerchief covering my face in embarrassment. That sounded embarrassing.
I wasn't too good with dust but I wasn't going to tell him that.
"Yeah" I said. "I'm just getting acclimatized to the new environment" I said, covering my face when another sneeze slipped out.
"Okay then" He shrugged walking up to his desk.
Where do I start from?
Picking up the first file, I began to clean the dust off it so I could see the tag given to it. I felt a shadow hovering over me, making me raise my head.
"What's that?"
"Nose mask. It'll prevent you from the dust" He said, tossing the nose mask on my body before leaving without wasting much time.
I smiled down at the nose mask, holding it in my hand before putting it on. A knock on the door, snapped me out of my work mode.
"Won't you get that?" I asked Romano but he didn't seem to hear me because he was still focused on his laptop. "I'll go get it then" I stood up, removing my nose mask.
"Where are you going?" I heard Romano asked. I didn't bother to answer as I pulled the door open.
"Are you his new slut?" The familiar lady asked, twirling her hand around her hair. "Never mind. Move out, it's my turn" She smirked, brushing my shoulder as she walked past me.
"Leave us alone, Jadelyn" Romano said, starling me. "Now!"
