The Mafias Princess

Eight

" Who says you'll ever get to have me? I'm not yours and I never will be." I say and watch as his jaw clenches.

My eyes widen as I see him look at me darkly and I quickly turn around and walk out deeper into the garden where there wasn't anyone. The party was packed so there was no way he'd be able to find me quickly.

Sighing I walk towards a fountain with fish and lily pads covering it, the fireflies lighting up the water as they fly by.

Why did I say that to him?

Trying to not think of what I had just done I move my focus on the scenery. I had never seen this many fireflies in one place and my eyes move back and forth trying to take in the view all at once.

I find a firefly flying past me and I quickly try grabbing it, wanting to hold one like I used to do when I was younger. I miss and run all around the fountain, determined to catch one.

" Got you!" I laugh when I finally get the small firefly but freeze when I feel a large presence in front of me. My stomach drops when I look up to see Connor, a gasp leaving my mouth when I feel his hand on my lower waist, pushing me close to his body and bringing his face down right in front of my own, our lips only inches apart.

" W..what are you-"

" Do you want me to show all those people who you belong to the easy way or the hard way?" He says deeply, a dark look in his eyes as he looks down at my lips then back to my eyes.

I feel my heart start to beat insanely fast at his close presence, the smell of his expensive cologne intoxicating me, almost like he was trying to lure me into his lips.

I guess that's just how guys like him are. They're good looking and all of a sudden think they can have any girl they want.

An idea suddenly pops into my head when I decide that neither of the options he gave me would be good.

I slowly open my hand still holding the firefly and watch as it flys up and lands on the tip of his nose, a small laugh leaving my mouth as I watch his eyebrows scrunch together in confusion.

The smile suddenly leaves my face when Connor kills the firefly, it's body floating down to the grass, limp.

" What's wrong with you?!" I say, quickly moving down to pick up its dead body, the light from the firefly was gone now.

" It's just a bug, there's plenty of them." Connor mumbles, watching me closely as I hold its dead body in my hand.

" Still, it did nothing wrong." I say, my eyes watering as I look down at the poor fireflies dead body in my hand while standing up.

" Are you seriously crying over that little shit?" Connor says, looking down at my hand where the firefly laid and back up to my face.

" You're the little shit not the firefly." I mutter, meaning to have said that in my head. I suddenly drop the firefly while I stand there in shock.

" What?" Connor says looking down at me, a piece of his hair fallen over his forehead.

Connors phone starts ringing and I let out a breath of relief. He gives me one more look before turning around and taking the call.

I take the chance to get away from him before I do anymore stupid things and quickly walk back into the party, the music blasting throughout the garden as hundreds of people walk around socializing and dancing.

I ignore Anastasia who was nearly charging towards me and walk up to Allison so she could take me back to my room. She had told me earlier to let her know anytime I needed to go back so she could make sure I got to my room safely.

" Allison, can we go now?" I ask and she looks up at me in relief.

" Yes miss, let's get out of this place." She sighs and I lock arms with her as we walk back into the estate.

" How did it go with Mr. Agosti? Especially after that kiss." Allison says, looking at me with a glint of mischief in her eyes.

I feel my cheeks heat up at the mention of the kiss, clearing my throat before answering her. " I ran away from him." I say, a small smile playing on my lips.

" You ran away from him? Why?" She says, shocked at my answer.

" It's a long story." I sigh, relieved when I see the doors to the bedroom. I just wanted to get out of this dress and shower.

" Well, have a goodnight Miss, call for me if you need anything!" Allison says and I thank her before walking into the bedroom.
