Saved By Him

Chapter 20

I hold out my hand for her to take, but she just stares at it blankly with a confused expression as if not knowing what to do.

"Don't tell me being drunk has made you completely dumb. I mean I bet that's how you slipped, you probably forgot you had legs" I mutter rolling my eyes.

"You're funny. A proper funny giant" she giggles before placing her hand in mine.

Not a second later I release her hand, making her land back on the shower floor with a thud. She had barely got up but I could tell she was pissed.

"What the fuck" She whines looking up at me with anger.

I smirk, trying not to laugh.

"Why would you do that you nasty giant!"

"You said I was funny, so I was just proving your point" I say shrugging my shoulders.

Her burning gaze never left my face, making it even more amusing for me.

"sei carino quando sei arrabbiato" I grin. (You look cute when you're angry).

Her expression didn't even falter, but it's not like I was expecting it to considering she didn't understand Italian.

"Alright I'm serious now, give me your hand" I chuckle reaching out, but she just smacks it away.

"Fuck off" she snapped as she used one hand to tightly grip her towel and the other to get up.

My grin immediately changes into a frown when I notice the pained expression on her face.

"I said to give me you hand"

"Why so you can drop me again?"

"I won't do it again" I say looking down at her, as she stands up to her full height.

"First say sorry" She murmured.

"Fuck no" I argued.

"Fine". I watch as she steps around me, holding the wall of the bathroom to take small steps.

"Yeah have fun walking on that. I hope you enjoy the pain" I add, but she doesn't stop.

Another wince and I walk over to her, sweeping her legs off the floor.

"So fucking stubborn" I whisper under my breath ignoring the way her body felt flushed against mine,as I place her on the bed.

"No you're the mean one" she huffs.

I go into her bag, biting my lip when I see her bras and panties, a lacy red set in particular.

"I'm coldddd" she says sulking, completely oblivious to what I was staring at.

I quickly take out a different set, along with some sweatpants and a tank top before tossing it to her.

"Here get changed" I say keeping my back to her, as I closed my eyes.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't attracted to her. Hell I would be lying if I said I didn't find her attractive from the very first time I layed my eyes on her.

But now, with each day this desire was growing more and more. And I didn't like that one bit.

"Done" she innocently says and when I turn, around I see her laying under the covers, her bra still visible on the bed.

She notices my gaze on them, "They're uncomfortable to sleep in".

I nod taking it and placing it back into her bag, "I'll be back in one minute. Don't do anything stupid".

She nods and I turn around and leave, closing the door behind me before entering my room.

I quickly grab some ointment cream, bumping into Vincent on the way out.

"Hey man, want to go eat I know you haven't eaten yet. Lorenzo is waiting" he says before his gaze wonders to Isabella's room.

"Is she okay? I'll ask her too" but I quickly stop him remembering she didn't have a bra on, only a thin tank top. And god knows if her drunk ass is still under the covers.

"Wait. I'll check" I say, ignoring the small smile on his face when I said that.

As I open her door taking a small peak, I realise she had fallen asleep.

"She's asleep" I whisper.

"Oh, well come then let's go"

"I'm not really hungry, you guys go ahead"

"Are you sure, you haven't eaten?" He says but I nod.

"Okay man, I'll see you tomorrow morning" he says with a grin as he turns around.

"Stop grinning stronzo" but he just flips me the finger with a smile.

I enter her room again, lifting up the covers near her feet and placing the ointment on her ankle, before gently massaging it.

No I don't know why I was doing this. I guess I felt bad, deep down knowing that she deserves some care, especially after what she went through. And as much as I dislike her at times, she isn't entirely bad.

I take one last glance at her face, brushing a lock of her hair behind her ear, "Goodnight Bella".

Isabella Rose

I feel my eyes slowly open as a ray of light shines through the window.

But my peace quickly becomes ruined as I feel a painful sensation strike in my head.

Why the fuck is my head pounding so much?

Just then flashes of last night appear in my mind. From meeting with Josh, drinking and having fun, making his crush jealous to dancing.

Oh shit. Valentino.

I suddenly remember our eye contact when I was dancing with Josh, and then he threw me over his shoulder!

He brought me back here to my room but then what happened?

I massage my forehead when realisation takes over me.

Seriously Isabella. You just had to get drunk.

I cringe remembering when I called him daddy.

I sit up looking straight when I notice something in my peripheral vision.

All too quickly, I grab the knife from my bedside table and jump off the bed, straddling the figure and striking my knife across his arm.

Fuck!
