Shades Of Mafia

That was close

Sophia Mendoza
I've been waiting for Lorenzo's reply for like an hour. I fell asleep in the process. I didn't even realize I fell asleep and I'm really in shock because I wasn't sleepy. I've just been so tired these days because of that Antonio. Bitch ass. Maybe I should tell Lorenzo all about it. But then again Antonio said he'd hurt me if I did. I pull out the note he left me and read it again.

I break into tears and feel dirty again. I leave my bed to go take shower. I start rubbing my strawberry shampoo in my hair with my eyes closed, trying to think of something nice, a destruction.

I think of a nice place, roses leading to a nice outdoor shower. I run to it and find Lorenzo standing there naked, wearing nothing but a smile. I run into his arms but before he could embrace me, I hear a gunshot. I get so scared and realize it came from downstairs. I lean against the wall and slide down slowly. I put my head between my knees and cover my ears breathing heavily, having a mini panic attack.

After it's completely silent which is like approximately thirty minutes, I leave the shower and wrap myself in a towel. Maybe I should go check what happened downstairs. I reach for my phone and realize the note is gone. I left it right here, on my bed.

I can smell Lorenzo scent in my room, he was here. Could he have taken it? Maybe it's all in my imagination. But I'm sure I can get his scent in here. I think I really like him and I'm obsessed. I can't be obsessed with such an arrogant guy even though he has some sweet in him.

No. He's so bipolar.

But I find it a little cute though. Wait. What the fuck is going on with me. I need to get dressed. I stop to look in the mirror and see my bruises. It looks like they're healing but they're still very noticeable. The cream Elizabeth gave me burns my face. I have sensitive skin and so I don't use it anymore.

I get into a nice silk dress knowing I'm not leaving my room anytime soon. I check my phone and there's still no reply from Lorenzo. Maybe he hasn't seen it. I don't know but I feel hurt that it's taking him this long to reply. Is this how he felt when I didn't reply until the next day? I doubt it though, he probably doesn't have any emotions. Who am I kidding. He's a beast. This all makes sense now. He probably came in here to take the note and see how his guard did on his 'assignment', ugh what an ass.

My phone beaps twice and I think that's a reply from him. I unlock my phone with a wide grin, I hate that he has that effect on me.

'Forget it, plans cancelled, LJ'

What the fuck is that about. I toss my phone on my bed as my smile completely fades. What. Hell no. I'm becoming too soft. How does he do that to me. He's going to hear me out. I've been a good girl these past few days. Giving all the respect he deserves. More like demands. I hate him. This is how he's paying me back. He is such a bitch. I decide to text him back.

'Bitch move, ass wipe'

I probably wouldn't have said that but my anger was using me and I don't regret it one bit. I get into bed and try to find an interesting series on the tv but I'm not in luck. In the process, someone knocks on my door gently and I'm guessing it's Elizabeth. I wonder what she wants, she doesn't bring my supper in until like 7PM but right now, she's like an hour early.

I don't respond hoping they'll walk away but I hear the sound of someone unlocking my door using a key. I sit up a little surprised as to what time my door got locked.

The door opens slowly and Lorenzo walks in. It's probably the text. Oh shit. He gently closes the door behind him without taking his eyes off me. I then realize I took of my make up and my dress is exposing my bruises. I open my eyes wide and run to the bathroom without a second thought. "Hey!" He yells out trying to stop me.
