When I woke up in Elijah's bed again an I wanted to try and sneak out but I was also curious about Elijah's life and who Elijah is. There had to be a reason why he kidnapped me. I tiptoed out of his room not sure what I was looking for but then I saw a room across the hallway. The light was on in the room and I could tell there was a bit of movement. I quietly walked over to peek in and saw Elijah sitting at his desk writing on a notepad and typing on his computer."Good morning Delilah, come in," He said with his husky morning voice while somehow sensing I was there.
"Good Morning," I said shyly with a smile. I opened the door to walk in and sit in a chair in the corner of the room behind him.
Once I sat down I couldn't stop staring at him. He was wearing a white buttoned-up dress shirt that was clearly too tight for him, you could see every curve of his upper body muscles, I could feel the warmth start pool slightly between my legs. He stood up from his chair, pressed a button on his phone to start playing Can't help falling in love by Elvis Presley. He slowly walked over to me and held out his hand. "Dance with me," he said with a smirk. I was a little hesitant at first knowing that he's a killer but eventually gave in and took his hand to not let him know that I found out what he is.
We started slowly dancing in the middle of the room. Our bodies were swaying in sync with the music and eachother. His hands were on my hips, my arms were around his neck and our foreheads were touching. He softly hummed to the music as we danced for what felt like hours with our eyes closed. We both slowly opened our eyes at the same time to notice our lips were less than an inch away from each other. We both slowly started leaning in but were interrupted by the door swinging open.
"Sorry to interrupt but breakfast is ready and Elijah your father needs you downstairs, he looks angry," said one of the other men from the cafe that night. Elijah seemed a little annoyed that his friend interrupted us but then quickly introduced me to his friend Luca and said the other one that night at the cafe was Jake, he then told me to go wait in his room and that he will bring breakfast to me in a few minutes.
I was reading one of the books on Elijah's bookshelf while waiting for him to bring me food. The whole time I was waiting I yelled at myself in my head for leaning into almost kiss Elijah. I kept telling myself that he's a killer and that he probably doesn't care about me and just needs or wants something from me like the driver said yesterday. I was about to get out of bed to go downstairs cause Elijah was taking forever and just at that exact moment he walked in with a tray of food. I was almost in shock by the amount of food, I giggled and quickly started eating once he put the tray of food down on the bed.
"What" I questioned while a little offended by the look he was giving me.
"Nothing, just eat, we got a busy day today," he said almost giving me a smile that he tried hiding but failed. I didn't even question what we were going to do today and just started eating.
About an hour later I got out of the shower, brushed my teeth, and got ready to go wherever we were going today. All I knew is that we were going somewhere nice because Elijah told me to dress fancy. He gave me three different dresses and heels to choose from and I chose the black silk dress with black heels. On the way there I asked if I could quickly call Lea to tell her that I was okay. Elijah eventually agreed but was a little confused on why I would rather tell Lea and not my mom and dad. I didn't tell him much because I knew my dad wouldn't give a shit and my mum probably wouldn't even notice I was gone, she would be too busy with work. Lea was a little suspicious but eventually said okay and said she understood. Lea already knew what I was going through at home so she probably thought I needed a break from everything.
I gave my phone back to Elijah as we arrived at our destination. There were expensive cars parked outside the building so I assumed it was a type of party. I took Elijah's arm, for some reason feeling safer near him than anywhere else right now, as we walked in everyone stared at us. I remember the driver from the other day, I think his name was Marcel, said that Elijah was the king of the biggest mafia in the world. Elijah walked me over to a man and a beautiful lady. They both turned to us but only the women smiled, the man kept a straight face.
"Delilah these are my parents Rose and Salvatore Black." Elijah introduced me.
"It's so nice to meet you" Rose greeted me with a smile and hug.
"Why haven't you killed her, haven't you got what you wanted yet?" Salvatore asked with anger. I was a shocked. I guess the driver was right. Elijah did just want something from me and he didn't give a shit about me at all.
"I don't know what you're talking about father," Elijah said while giving his dad the death stare.
Elijah pulled me away from his parents to dance with me on the dance floor with everyone else.
"Don't listen to my father mi amour, he doesn't know what he's talking about" Elijah said. I just nodded not knowing what to say. While we were dancing the music all of a sudden stopped and was replaced with the noise of a fork hitting against a wine glass making a ringing noise. Everyone looked over to where the noise was coming from to see Salvatore standing on a ledge ready to announce something.
