I wake up from deep sleep.
The sunlight peeking through the closed curtains. Hearing purring by my ear I lift my arm up to pet the fuzzy cat by my head.
All the sudden I sneeze, jolting my body awake.
"Dang, I'm awake now." I slip out of bed and head to the bathroom to shower.
Turning the water to a hot temperature, I get in and let the water soak in and help my body wake up more. •••
Wrapping the towel around my body, I open the door letting the cool air of my room hot my warm body.
I feel another presence in the room, turning around to see Giovanni sitting on the chair by my bookshelf. Staring straight at me.
"W-what are you doing in here?" I hold the towel close to my body, not letting it slip. I was so close to dropping it and changing.
"I came here to talk, but I found something better to do." He says standing up and walking towards me. I clutch the towel for dear life.
He stalls over to me slowly and my breathing picks up. My small frame cowering under his tall built one.
"What are you doing." I muttered out as he finally came in reaching distance of me.
The quiet breathing of us both being the only noise that can be heard. He reaches a hand up and traces the seam of the towel that is the only piece of cloth covering me.I don't want him judging my scars.
His fingers than move down my arms. Goosebumps tickling my skin as the soft sensation. "Are you nervous?" His deep voice inquired.
I've never felt like this. Like I could melt into the touch of another's hand, or feel that at any moment I'd feel something I've never felt.
I nod my head slowly , scared that if I speak it will come out as pathetic or weak.
"Give me your words." He insisted, tucking a curl behind my ear. "Yes" my voice quiet and soft.
"Good."
He hooked his finger underneath the towel and my skin, pulling ever so slightly.
The towel dropped and I stood with my eyes shut, breath ragged. I kept the shut because I didn't want to see the look of disgust on his face. I was disgusting.
It very silent in the room so I open my eyes, to see nobody. He gone. We're they that bad? That he had to up and leave.
I feel tears threaten to come up but I just pick up the towel and shut my door.
I storm into my closet and tears prickle my skin. Of course he would leave. I would too.
I began to feel mad at myself for even letting him do that when I know what his reaction would be. Fuck, how could I be so foolish?
I grab a baggy sweatshirt and sweatpants. Throwing them on and laughing in my bed covering up with the blanket to my chin.
I grab my laptop, turning on a love story called 'Through My Window'. Ares is such a babe. If only love like that exists. But of course nobody actually gets that. It's the reason people make movies like these. To let people see the real true love that nobody can have, because it's not real.
2 hours later.
A knock sounds from the door and opens revealing Massima. She dressed and a black mid-thigh dress that is tight to her skin, with a black trench coat. I see that she has on knee high boots on making the outfit 10x better.
I stare at her in my ugly ass outfit. Giving her a 'I don't give a fuck' look.
"Shit. What happened to you?" She says walking over to me and sitting on my bed beside me. "I'm just tired." I replied petting Nala on my stomach.
"I was going to call you but then realized I don't have your number." She spoke and kicked her boots off, swinging her feet on the bed and resting her back against the headboard.
I reach over to my bedside and grab the phone from my bedside.
I open my combat game and show her my number.
"Why so gloomy today." She types in my number and gives back my phone, calling it to make sure it works. Once it rings I put my phone away.
"No reason. Very tired from last night." I leave out the part of her brother just hours before leaving me embarrassed and horrible.
She hmms I'm response. "Why don't we go somewhere today?"
"I don't have any money, and I can't leave without asking Giovanni." I sit up on the bed and stretch my legs out. Feeling the tiredness of laying in bed for 2 hours finally hit me.
"He'll say yes to me. Don't worry."
She leaves the room and I take the time to go find an outfit for this little outing.
Going with a black full body suit, white sweater and converse.
It was basic but I'd rather be comfy than have a stupid thong up my ass all day. Not thank you. I don't even know how people do it.
I walk downstairs, assuming that Giovanni is ok with me going I walk around the house to find Massima.
"Please, let her go. You can't expect her to like you if your going to be a controlling asshole!" I hear from down the hall. Getting curious I make my way over to find massima yelling at Giovanni.
"Here she is." She says and comes up to my side, wrapping her arm around my shoulder.
I analyze his features. He looks very stressed right now. With tensed shoulders, scrunched eyebrows.
"I don't need extra stress right now Mass." he grumbles flipping through the papers that take up half the space on his desk.
"Please." She walls over to him and grabs his shoulder. I watch in awe at the sibling behavior.
"Only for a little bit." He finally says while pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Yay!!! Thank you." She runs up to my and grabs my hand. "Wait. Athena come here first." He commands and Massima stops her little excitement. "I'll wait by the door." She says and walks out.
Here I stand in front of the infamous Giovanni Morelli.
"Come here." Is all he says and my feet make their way over to the side of his desk.
He opens the drawer on the side of his desk and pulls out a black card.
"I-I can't accept this. That is unnecessary." I reject his offer and he looks like he's tired of my shit.
"Listen here, tesoro. Your going to take this card, and buy whatever the fuck you want. I don't care how much you spend." He grabs my arm and pulls me closer to him. By now I was standing in between his separated legs.
"What are you going to do if I don't take it?" I taunt. Sudden boldness coming out of nowhere.
He seemed shocked to by the way his hooded eyes slightly widened. "Getting bold now are we?" He stands up and grabs the back of my thighs hoisting me up to sit on his desk.
"Be a good girl and try to be quiet, capito?" He whispers in my neck.
