We piled into the black SUV.

The inside was super fancy and comfy.

I sat on Enzo's lap in the back seat. Stefano was sitting to the left of us. And Alessio sat next to him. They had their own driver that must have been sitting in the car this whole time. Dante and the two bodyguards sat in the third row.

No one sat in the passenger's seat.

They told the driver where the dorm was and he started driving.

"Why can't someone sit in the front seat?" I asked, confused. I didn't need to sit on Enzo's lap then- not that I was complaining. His body was so warm against me. I felt like I was on fire in the best way.

"It is dangerous. It is easier to target," Dante explained.

I guess that made sense. They definitely had many enemies, which made me nervous.

I heard a muffled whining sound and looked at Stefano, raising an eyebrow at him. "Is that- you know what, never mind. I'd rather just not know," I decided quickly.

"What? It's just Rob, he's tied up in the trunk. No big deal," Stefano said matter of factly. I just left the conversation at that.

Enzo had his huge arms wrapped around me securely, like a seat belt. I leaned into his chest and felt comforted by him.

He rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Is this okay, Bella?" Enzo made sure. His breath tickled my neck.

"Yes," I whispered, feeling out of breath all of a sudden.

"I don't want you to be uncomfortable," he said from behind me.

"You're not. You're very comfy actually," I giggled.

"Tell me if you change your mind, okay?"

I nodded and leaned closer to him and closed my eyes.

"You can go to sleep, Lilly. We'll wake you up when we get to your dorm," Dante leaned forward from behind us and whispered.

I nodded and turned my face towards Enzo's shoulder, but I couldn't turn my neck all the way.

Stefano bent down and picked up my feet. He put my calves on his lap so that I was sitting sideways on Enzo's lap. My feet were on Alessio's lap. Alessio held them before I could move them.

I didn't want to put my shoes on him, they were dirty. I tried to pull them from his lap but he tapped my ankles.

"It's okay, Lilly. Just get comfortable," Alessio said sweetly.

"Thanks," I said.

I cozied up in Enzo's chest. He wrapped his arm around my back and his other around my thighs.

"Are you more comfortable now Bella?" Enzo whispered into my hair.

"So comfortable," I murmured.

I closed my eyes and breathed in Enzo's intoxicating cologne. He smelt so manly. He nestled into my hair. His hand stroked up and down my back soothingly, lulling me into sleep.

...

"Lilly, dear," I heard a soft voice in my ear.

I squirmed. "Shhh, 5 more minutes" I complained.

"Bella, you have to wake up, I don't know what dorm is your-"

I slapped the voice talking.

"Shut up, oh my gosh," I grumbled, still half asleep

The car filled with loud laughter. I jumped up, out of my sleepy state. I looked around confused. Alessio and Stefano's faces were bright red with laughter. Enzo's chest was shaking with laughter too.

"You are much stronger than you look, babe," Alessio laughed out.

I turned to Enzo, who was holding his cheek with an amused look on my face. I gasped. Oh shit.

"Enzo I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. Oh my god. Enzo I-"

"Relax, Lilly. It's okay. Come on, I will walk you to your dorm. I would have just carried you but I don't know which one is yours."

"Room 207, now carry me pleaseeee," I begged, but it was more of a groggy mumble, still too tired to get up.

"Of course, Bella," Enzo swiftly lifted me up bridal style.

"Are you gonna tuck her in too, brother?" Dante teased.

"Yes, if she'd like me too," he said smoothly.

"I actually wouldn't mind that," I laughed.

He cocked an eyebrow at me with a playful smirk.

I giggled.

Enzo picked me up and carried me out of the car, through the dorms to my room. He opened the door and placed me down on my bed gently.

"Enzo, you are so sweet," I mumbled.

"Maybe. Just for you, though," he whispered back to me, though he sounded like he was talking to himself.

"I'll come by the restaurant and see you tomorrow to check on you," Enzo sat on the side of my bed.

"I can't wait," I murmured against my pillow.

He chuckled softly and swept my hair out of my face. I didn't want him to leave.

I grabbed his hand and leaned my cheek into it. His thumb rubbed my temple, and I hummed at the feeling. He made me feel so cared for, in such a short time.

"Close your eyes, Lilly. I'll wait till you fall asleep to leave. Okay?"

I nodded, too tired to form words anymore. I fell asleep quickly with his large warm hand on my cheek.

...

My alarm went off, blaring in my ear. I woke to the smell of Enzo's cologne on my pillow. I inhaled deeply and rolled out of bed. I hated mornings. I hated waking up early. Next to my phone, there was a pink sticky note taken from my desk.

I read it smiling.

"Good morning Bella.

I can't wait to see you today.

One of my men will be outside to drive you to work.

My brothers wanted me to tell you to

have a great day at work! -Your Enzo "

I reread the note a few times. Your Enzo. My Enzo. He said he was mine? I shook the thoughts swarming my head. I was reading too much into it. But, I was happy I didn't have to take the train today.

I needed to stop overthinking, and get dressed for work. I had to leave in half an hour. I went to the dorm showers and washed up.

Then, I went back to my room and put on my work uniform. It was a black polo shirt with a black skirt. I threw on my fleece tights underneath since it was pretty cold. I'd take them off when I got there since it got hot in the restaurant quickly.

I quickly packed a duffle bag for the movie night we planned.

I always liked to pack in advance.

I didn't know what he meant by comfy clothes so I put one of my pajama sets in the bag with a pair of slippers. Then I put a pair of sweat pants and a sweatshirt in the bag too in case he didn't mean pajamas.

Today wasn't a super long shift thankfully. I was beyond excited for the movie night. Couldn't wait, actually. I was just excited to have new friends. When I got outside, I spotted the driver right away. He looked scary, and he was standing in front of a big black SUV like we rode in yesterday. When he spotted me he nodded and opened the back door. I nodded back and got it.

That was definitely unsafe. This man could have been a murderer and the real driver could have been three cars down still waiting for me. But, he had the same look at Enzo's men. I quickly texted Enzo, feeling a little nervous all of a sudden.

Lilly: Good morning, Enzo! I just got in the back seat of a black SUV. If your driver is not a tall bald guy with a bird tattoo on his neck in a gray suit, I will probably die in the next hour or so. Please let me know, my mind is starting to spiral with the anxiety of being kidnapped!

His reply came in instantly.

Enzo: Don't worry Lilly. His name is Gino, and yes he is my driver. He is very quiet, but he should have introduced himself first. Although, we should have a talk about the fact that you got into the car without asking any questions first. Do you have a death wish Bella?

I sighed in relief and typed back.

Lilly: Hehe! Okay. Thanks for the reassurance. Sorry- I'm not used to this fancy driver stuff...

Enzo: Don't worry. You will get used to it, trust me.

Lilly: I don't know about that, sir.

Enzo: Have a good day at work Bella. I'll see you later. Also, my brothers asked for your number. Am I allowed to give it to them? I'd rather not if I'm being honest. I like to have all your attention to myself. I don't think I'm willing to share you with them ;)

Lilly: HAHA! You can give it to them. Except for Dante. He might try to send me dick pics...jk lol.

Enzo: Okay I will. But if he does I'll gut him. ;)

I laughed out loud at his joke, which might have been a serious threat. I wasn't truly sure.
