The next morning, as like my body knew what I had to do today, woke me up around 4am. As I rub my eyes a little and check the time, I find Vito sleeping peacefully next to me, the blanket only covering his below parts whilst his arm wrapped around my chest. Memories of the hot and heavy night that we shared last night soon fill my head where a deep red fills my face, it was definitely, a night to remember and one I knew would eventually, transpire at some point with Vito. Looking over at his face as he slept, I took all of his many features in as my finger delicately ran along his jawline, he was so incredibly good looking, one of the best men I have ever seen! It still blows my mind how he’d want to spend his time with someone such as me, I mean he could get any girl that he wanted without much effort, I will be honest, I did fear he was only after one thing from me, the thing we had done last night. I had to tell myself that if that does happen and I don’t see him again, it was ni

My mind races with the same thought over and over again, I had been with a man who these trained police officers are telling me is beyond dangerous, I have opened up to this man and have spent so much alone time with him where I didn’t even suspect for even a second that he was this horrible individual. I kept telling myself that someone that looks like Vito and is so kind and compassionate doesn’t exist or would be interested in me, why didn’t I trust my gut and back off?! But the even bigger question, what does a man such as him want with me?! I knew I shouldn’t have allowed myself to fall so quickly and deeply for a man I don’t even know! “Thank you for your time, Miss, here is my card, if you think of anything which will be of any help, don’t hesitate to call.” Owen smiles snapping me out of my thoughts handing me his card, where I soon put that same smile on my lips taking it from him. “I will.” I smile feeling as though I wanted to cry but also throw up at any second, I didn’t

After taking a deep breath in, I make my way towards Vito’s waiting car, with each step that I would take, the more nervous I became. Seeing that my hands were full of my things, Vito leans forward in the car and opens up the door from the inside, where I simply send him a little smile as a thank you climbing in. “Hello Pequeño, how was work?” He asks with a smile whilst I place my purse down at my feet along with the cake that Shane had gotten me which was half eaten. “What is all of this?” He asks with a smile when I didn’t answer his first question, once I was fully in the car and closed the door, I look at him out of the corner of my eye. “The big box is holding the half-eaten cake that Shane brought me as a welcome back gift, whilst this box holds the cupcake that I brought for you. I know you said you were with a client all day, so you probably hadn’t eaten.” I explain holding up the little brown box which had been balancing on the cake box, the one that Shane had to catch bef

The sounds of the bin opening and closing causes me to jump awake from my sleep, my breathing fast and heavy as I looked around my bedroom as like the attacker which touched my bin was going to jump through my bedroom door and start attacking me! Once my brain had drifted away from sleep and I was no longer in a dream state which always fears the worst, I turn to the side of me where the space Vito lay was empty and the clock showing me it was 3am, why would Vito be walking the house at this hour? Thinking he may be having some trouble getting to sleep, I throw the covers from my legs and wrap my thin throw blanket around my naked body, it was freezing, and I don’t know if I feel comfortable walking about the house in the nude. After securing the blanket around my body, I make my way over to my bedroom door which was open ajar and walk down the hall and out into the kitchen, where Vito was sat at the table drinking what appeared to be coffee, well that isn’t going to help him sleep!

Once the flat white that he had ordered was done, he takes it with a smile telling me some of his friends may join him and proceeds to walk over to the one table right at the front of the shop by the window. This not only meant that he had full view of the entire café but outside too, why were more of his friends joining him, were they also police officers coming here to watch me? Most of my questions were answered when the certain person I had been questioned over yesterday, walks through the door with a smile on his face, mostly looking over at me. Instant panic begins to spread throughout my body in that moment, I played it dumb yesterday and acted as though I didn’t know Vito. Could I be arrested for lying?! I knew I once again needed to play dumb and hope that Vito catches onto what I’m doing. “Good morning, sir, what can I get for you?” I ask with a smile saying what I do to all the regular customers, Vito catches onto me seeming to act as though I didn’t know him where he sen
