"Then you have to tell me the truth from where you came from." He states.

"What else do you want to know, dumbass. I don't know anything else. I grew up in an orphanage and Amelia was my only family. Happy?" I ramble.

"Yeah well, I learnt that when you first came to the orphanage you were speaking Italian, explain that." He commands getting up from his bed to come closer to me.

"How am I meant to remember stuff from when I was five?" I ask accidentally dropping the plate between us. "I'm so sorry." I say bending down and quickly picking up the pieces.

"Stop, you'll cut yourself." He says following my actions. He was right, I pricked my finger.

"Damn it." I curse under my breath.

He grabs my finger and examines it. He helps me up and I follow him to his bathroom. He runs my finger under cold water and grabs some paper towels, turns off the tap and then dabs my finger gently.

"Is that okay?" He asks, getting a plaster from his bathroom cabinet and placing it on my finger.

"Y-yeah, thanks," I mumble pulling a strand of hair behind my ear.

Our eyes lock and a good 15 seconds becoming the longest seconds of my life. He really was a beautiful person. Too beautiful for me. I push myself against him as we share a short kiss before he quickly pushes away.

"Great you embarrassed me." I smile sarcastically walking away.

"I didn't do it to embarrass you. I don't feel comfortable kissing you if you won't admit you like me." He explains with a smirk plastered on his face.

I glare at him and proceed to leave the bathroom. "I don't like you, Mr Varallo. I despise you, at most." I lie.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." He says escorting me out of his room rudely. "Goodnight, Tesoro." He says kissing my cheek, gently. He shuts his door leaving me shocked.

"Asshole," I mumble marching away. His stupid manipulation isn't going to work on me, hell, I'm going to manipulate him.
