I stare in awe as I take in the beautiful house that I'm currently standing in. The living room is absolutely breathtaking.

how rich is this dude?

There are wooden glass stairs that twirl and lean up against a gigantic glass cellar that stored different wines and expensive-looking artifacts. Below the stairs is a beige circled sofa that wraps around a fireplace. Behind the circled couch is a large flat-screen TV that is mounted in front of another L-shaped couch.

I let my feet slide across the shiny wooden planks and giggle at how fast I went because of my socks.

I'm such a kid.

I continue sliding my feet across the wooden planks as I take in more of the house.

I gasp as I reach the kitchen. The floorings were covered with a plain white marbling that matched the countertops. There were built-in midnight black cabinets and a fridge that made it look like a complete wall.

I could make so many blueberry muffins in this kitchen.

Further into the kitchen led to the dining room that consisted of a long table with several chairs already pushed in.

I slide my legs back out of the kitchen and into the majestic living room to go sit near the fireplace.

I stared at the flames as they lit up my face.

so cozy

"I see you're enjoying yourself." An all too familiar deep voice calls from behind me.

I turn my head so fast - I swear I almost got whiplash.

I admire the beautiful man leaning against the archway as his arms are crossed on his chest and shooting me a slight smirk. His dark curls were slightly disheveled while his knuckles were slightly bruised.

"What happened to your hand?" I ask as my eyebrows creased together.

He unfolds his arms as he saunters over to me in long strides until he is standing right between me and the fireplace.

He leans over me as one hand is placed on the cushion beside me and his other hand is gripping my chin, tilting my head up to meet his beautiful black gray eyes.

His face leans in close to mine as his minty and hot breath fans against my lips. I part my lips slightly and bite my bottom lip. His eyes immediately darken to pitch black as he eyes my lips.

"." He grunts out and clenches his jaw.

I feel my face heat up from the nickname he had given me.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of that.

He uses his thumb to pull out my bottom lip before staring back into my eyes. He tilts his head to the side slightly, admiring every square inch of my face in fascination and awe.

"Bellisimo." He whispers against my lips as he tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear.

My eyes dart down to his lips.

kiss me-

i mean what? shut up lila

"LILS DONT KILL ME BUT I THINK I LOST YOUR DADD- oH" Damon's voice booms from behind us.

I let out a shriek and fall flush against the massive couch.

Holy shit.

Enzo lets out a cough as he fixes his suit before standing straighter and sending a terrifying glare towards Damon.

"Oh shit- I just cock blocked you guys. I am so sorry." Damon snorts as he shakes his head trying to get rid of his laughter.

"Get out." Enzo groans as he rubs his temples with the thumb and middle finger of his left hand.

"Okay papi." Damon says while popping the 'p' and strutting out the door, but not before shooting a wicked wink my way.

I sigh and shake my head at his mischievous ways.

I hate him.

"C'mon amore." Enzo softly states as he reaches out a hand to me.

I place my hand in his and ignore the sparks I feel from his touch.

He freaking smirks.

big dummy...

a HOT dummy

He can see right through me.

I roll my eyes and follow him up the stairs. I have to walk slower than usual because the spacings between each step are confusing me.

who even invented these kinds of steps? might as well just fall to my death.

I continue to follow Enzo to wherever he was taking me. He slowly rocks our intertwined fingers.

wheeeee

"This is my room." Enzo states as he unlocks the black matted door.

My eyes bulge out of their sockets to admire the aesthetics.

Can you guess what color? Black.

As I walked through the door I am met with his closet to my right with all of his suits, hoodies, pants, jeans, and shoes.

I might just have to steal a hoodie.

No, snap out of it Lila.

I poke my head through the door to my left and almost shat myself at the bathroom he has here.

This bathroom is literally the size of my room.

Rich people things.

I sigh at the beauty of this place. I can literally be imprisoned in here and I wouldn't give a damn.

I feel a pair of strong tatted arms wrap around my waist and turn me around.

"Who cleans this place?" I ask, suddenly curious to how this place is literally a mirror from how clean everything is.

"We have maids and chefs here who usually take care of the house while I'm away." He responds with a kiss to my temple.

He just kissed my head-

I shall wither away happily now.

"You live in this big house alone?" I ask.

"No, I live with Damon and three other idiots." He responds with a roll of his eyes as he mentions the three 'idiots.'

"Who are they?" I ask curiously as I tilt my head back to look at him.

"You don't need to worry about them amore." He simply states.

Suddenly he lifts me off the floor as I yelp and quickly cling to him like the koala I am.

He walks us over to the bed before sitting down and having me straddle his hips.

I try to slide off his lap but his grip tightens.

"Enzo."

"Yes?"

"Let me go," I state with a glare.

"No. Ask your questions." He states as he draws patterns on my thighs.

I let out a sigh.

it's not like you mind

"What about your job? What do you exactly do?" I ask softly and play with his silver chained necklace.

"I do a few trades here and there and help out with the...barachi business." He strains as he hooks his pinky with my index finger.

I wonder why he's always so hesitant when I ask about his job. It's not like he's a warlord or something.

I mean not that I would mind.

Yea, cuz you need therapy biss.

"Would you like to shower?" Enzo asks as he lifts an eyebrow at me.

Now that I think about it, I should probably take a shower. My face feels all chappy from the mental breakdown I had earlier.

So I give Enzo a nod as he picks me up in his arms again before settling me in the bathroom.

He leaves the bathroom and comes back with a pair of hoodie, boxers, and sweatpants.

I smile and thank him before locking the door.

I strip out of my clothes before catching my reflection in the mirror.

I sigh as I ran my fingers across the scars on my collarbone, thighs, and shoulder blade. All the jagged and bumped skin that was left behind from ever slash. Every word.

he can't hurt you anymore.

How is anyone going to love me like this?

Maybe he was right, I'm . Everything about me is hideous. Of all places I had to end up, it was Enzo. Not saying he isn't great, he's wonderful. But he doesn't need a burden like me hanging on his shoulders.

I pry my eyes away from the mirror and walk over to the shower. I guess I'll skip out on taking a bath for today.

There were so many flipping switches to this shower.

Time to experiment.

☕︎︎

I finally dragged myself out of the shower after staying in the scalding hot water.

I don't know why but I literally love it when the water burns my skin.

You are so weird Lila.

I've put on the clothes that Enzo brought me, but I decided to leave out the sweatpants because, honestly, it was falling off anyway.

The hoodie already drowns me and reaches my knees so it will suffice.

I unlock the bathroom door and peek my head out to see that Enzo was laying in bed.

His head was propped up against the headboard with two pillows. One leg was bent while the other laid flat across the bed. He had a pair of glasses on as the top few buttons of his dress shirt were already unbutton, revealing his tanned and tatted chest. His disheveled curls were starting to hood his eyes.

Hot.

I take myself over to the bed as his eyes flicker up to meet mine.

His gray eyes suddenly become almost black as he scaled down my body and legs.

"Sorry, the sweatpants were too big." I sheepishly say as I take a seat on the edge of his bed.

He gives me a curt nod before closing his eyes and clenching then unclenching his jaw.

He opens his eyes again, "Get some sleep amore. I'll go shower then join you." He says as he gets up and walks to the bathroom.

I sigh as I make my way to the couch in front of the bed. Who knew a couch would be so comfortable?

I'm living ze life.

I lift the covers up that were already folded at the edge of the couch to my chin so that I was almost one with the sofa.

I begin to close my eyes and feel sleep slowly take over me as I listen to the water from the bathroom.

I'm already in this hot dummies room after meeting and talking to him for a few minutes today.

Talk about being an adult.

But I ain't leaving this beautiful home.

Just before I had fallen asleep I feel a pair of arms wrap around me and lift me up.

I open my eyes slightly, "What are you doing Enzo?" I yawn out.

"The couch was for me amore. You can sleep in my bed." He says softly as he gently lays my body on the plush mattress.

I let my body completely sink into the king-sized bed as Enzo covers me with the blanket.

I welcomed the warmth and snuggle closer to it.

"Goodnight , sleep well."
