Antonio De Rossi

As I saw her on the bus, my whole world stopped, she seemed so hurt, because I had ignored her for 2 weeks.

I just didn't want Elijah to feel disappointed in me if he figured out I'm seeing his little sister. Elijah is like a little brother to me, and I don't want to betray his trust.

When I was 18, this precious angel was born. It's wrong, but it just feels so right for me.

Honestly I don't care about our age gap, she's everything I see in a woman. The talks we had was a way to comfort me.

It comforted me, to be in her arms and talk about life. I found out she still sleeps with a teddy bear her mother gave her.

She said it's name was Liam. Smiling at the thought of her the doorbell rings. "Elijah" I pull him in for a hug.

"Antonio" He greets me.

"Come in" I walk away from the door so he can get in.

We went to the living room, as he started ranting about his girlfriend being on her period. They're adorable together. I wish she saw me the same way.

"You left your cigarette pack in the guest room" He handed them to me. "I was wondering where they were" I awkwardly chuckled to myself.

Missing the feeling of disappearing in the smoke I pull out a cigarette and light it. Blowing the smoke out of my mouth Elijah watches every move.

"Want one?" I chuckle.

"No Selena would kill me, I thought she was smoking, she'd kill me if she found out" He shrugged.

Laughing at what he said, sadness found its way to me. "You know what just hand me one" He took out his hand.

Giving him one he lights it and he coughs. "First time?" I ask. He nods still coughing.

Getting a bottle of water from my mini freezer I hand him it. He thanks me and continues to smoke.

"Do you always smoke, or is it rarely" He raised an eyebrow.

"No, I only smoke when I'm stressed about work or something else. The last time I smoke was about 7 months ago." I gave him a weak smile.

"What's bothering you" He put a hand on my shoulder. "There's this girl" I frowned.

"Can't have her?" He tried to sound understanding. "I guess that's how you can say it is" I quietly laugh.

"I'm not planning on giving up on her, I'm going to fight for her" I tugged a smile. "That's the Antonio I know" He pat my shoulder.

We continued to speak about work. "You want to come over for dinner tomorrow?" He suggested.

To see her yes. Other than that I'm not feeling social.

"Of course" I smirked.

Next day came by and I took a relaxing shower. Work today was tough, killed around 16 men today.
