CARMINE POV
I looked at the way her eyes go wide,like she also realized it just now,It's not like I want to rushed thing but I'm really curious,she came to me herself that day after I ignore her for almost three week.a day before I planned go and say sorry after I make myself comfortable of what happened and convise the situation to my self.
I never thought she'd come to me,she didn't just came she stayed,sat on my lap and told me everything happened to her from the begginng to end how she got the trauma,and at the same day we ran in to the same predator who raped her though she doesn't know she was.And she refused to leave me I was moment away from death ,she stayed , like how a loyal wife stayed by husband,she even refused to leave me there alone when she herself traumatized.
this got me question why she did that.Is that some kind of gratefulness for rescuing her from her dads' house or pity because I'm obvious with my feelings?or is she really love me?
I observe her look in the face,she look scared and unsure of what to say,to assure her I took her hand in mine silently telling 'NO matter what I'll stay beside you' our eyes locked for few second before she looked down before she nodded softly with a soft crimson blush perking through her cheeks giving her the most adorable look I ever seen.
my heart swelld with love that I wanted to pull her in to my chest but my condition won't allow me to do it.I sigh softly kissing her palm insted of hugging her.
''You look like fresh tomato,right now''a small giggle break through the silent wall at that making me want to here that sound more often.she look beautiful,all flustered and giggly.
that's when the memory of the last day start flood in my mind like a wild fire.marco claimed that it was hi, who rapped her that day but when he try to shot her yesterday,she didn't recognized him.If she did I know she'd all traumatized and won't be able to handle.
I try to lean on to the headboard making her sit down next to me,I compose myself to ask the question but I'm not gonna tell her the truth that she doesnt know.It's enough she's traumatized thinking she almost got rapped, though it really did happened,,If she find out the truth it won't be easy to deal at all
''Do you recognized the man who shot that day?'' I asked carefully not to trigger any emotion in her head.
she thought for second before shaking her head still thinking,how can that happened she's only twenty one and that happened when she was fifteen, Can people forget someones' face after six years?that's bit wierd since that's the man who ruined he sanity,how is that even possible?
i wanted to pull further but I know if I do that I need more physical strength to deal with her so I dicide to shrugged it off.
''Nevermind''I saw the sceptical look she gave me but she didn't push further.
a asudden knock on the door make her jolted away from me,I cursed under my breath to anyone who disturb the sweet moment I tried to have with my future wife.
''Come in'' I command annoyingly still keeping my eyes on her,I saw she's smiling while looking down,that made my anger smoothen a bit before Finn barged in with shallowed expression that means trouble
''what is it''I asked still annoyingly,I just don't wanna deal with mafia right now.
he look between us and saw her still flushed face,then he gave me a knowing smirk.I got more annoyed at that
''What is it?''I asked in my mafia tone that I never used with Leila.
''From the battle only five of ours are survived,all of Marcos' men were dead even Marco,but....''he shifted a bit like he's about to say something really terrible
''Say that''he sigh before continuing ''Tina rescued before the battle started and no body know where she went''that's why then I didn't see her after the gun fire started,it's that bad,what is she gonna do without her Daddy anyway?
''We don't have to look for that bitch,just forget her,she can't do anything without her daddy''Finn nodded before excusing himself,after he left the room I turned to Leila again,silently inviting her closer to me.
she sat down next to me still eyes glue to the floor,I lifted her chin by one finger making her look in to my eyes,she look too pretty this closer,like a goddest that I want to keep to my self.
''soo.....I think it's time we should start talking about the marriage''her head snapped and look at me with wide eyes her mouth opening and clossing like a fish looking for air.
