His Desiderio|✔️(editing)

Chapter 15

"What's this?" I asked.

"We're painting." He stated before taking my hand and pulling me into the shop.

Right away we were greeted by a lady in Spanish and by the look on Noah's face I knew he had no clue what she was talking about so I spoke for us. Of course some words were harder to translate since I am of Puerto Rican decent and that is mainly the Spanish I learned, but I was still able to tell her what we wanted.

She escorted us to a back room, which had another family inside. There were two little girls and a mom an dad. The mom and dad sat silently panting while the kids fought over who's painting was the best.

Noah and I took our seats and were give each a canvas, some paints, and paint brushes. Right away I knew what  was going to paint and I went to work. Noah sat thinking for a bit but eventually he began to paint too.

Every now and then he would try to glance at my work but I would cover it and he would pretend to pout. Once I was finished I sat up and examined my work proudly before looking over at Noah who was done as well.

"Show me yours first." He said.

"No, you show me yours." I said trying to cover mine.

He batted his eyelashes at me and sighed and I couldn't resist. I showed him the painting.

"It's beautiful. What does It represent?" He asked.

I had painted two babies with wings flying off to the golden gates of heaven. "My mother lost two babies. One before Armando and I and one after. I always wonder how different my life would be had they survived."

He frowned slightly before squeezing my thigh. 

"Okay now show me yours." I said eagerly.

He lifted his painting which was half of a women's face, her pale blue eyes matching perfectly with Noah's. Her wild red hair filed up most of the canvas and she was somewhat smiling.

"Is this your mother?" I asked, still looking at the painting.

"Yes." Was all he said before placing the painting down.

I knew he was upset so I took My paint brush before dipping it into some paint and painting his nose.

"No you did not." He gasped before doing the same with his brush.

We went back and forth like this and eventually we were both covered in paint. When the lady walked back into the room she began to yell at us and Noah and I looked at each other with a smile before we took off running. I couldn't help myself from laughing as we ran out of the shop and down the block covered in different colored paint.

"Where to next?" I asked Noah once we stopped running.

"Here." He said I turned my head to see a lake where people were canoeing.

"Again?" I smiled thinking back to our first date.

"Yes, come one." He said as he grabbed my arm and pulled me along.

Luckily the activity was free so we grabbed our paddles and got into a canoe.

We began to paddle but after a little wild my arms grew tired and I allowed for Noah to over. Once we reached the middle of the lake he sat the paddles on the boat and we just drifted.

I scooted closer to him and placed my head on his shoulder. "Thank you so much for this." I said.

He wrapped his arms around me "Thank you for allowing me to do this."

We grew quiet and sat in silence, eventually the sun began to set and other couples started to leave but we remained on the lake watching the sunset and enjoying each other's company.

Noah suddenly lifted me up and I knew what was coming next before he even thrown me into the water, which was icy cold now.

"I'm going t k-kill you Noah." I said once my head rose to the surface.

He laughed at me and offered me his hand but I pulled him into the lake instead.

"It's cold!" He whined and I laughed before swimming over to him and wrapping my legs around him.

The guy from the shore yelled at us and I sighed. "We can't swim in the lake so we have to go back."

We made our ways back to shore and a bright light was shined in our faces. "Hey, I know you two." A security guard said.

Noah grabbed my hand and pulled me and we took of running again. I turned and laughed at the security guard who gave up chasing us half way.

Noah pulled me into a dark ally where we caught our breathes. I looked up at him and the moonlight made his pale eyes sparkle. I pulled him towards me and devoured his lips.

His hands slid down and grabbed my butt tightly and I moaned into his mouth. Suddenly he pulled away and looked at me. "I have to tell you something Alexis."

Me first , I said as I bit my lip nervously. "You've came into my life and made it ten times better. For the first time in years you've made me actually feel something, you made me realize that there is more to life than just ruling a Mafia. You helped open my eyes to the world and for that I thank you. And... I love you Noah Petrov"

He froze. "What? What did you say?" He said nervously.

"I said I lo-" before I could finish he sentence  was suddenly grabbed and pinned against the wall. "What the hell?" I said as I felt handcuffs placed on me. 

Two men were holding me down and a third was speaking with Noah who's eyes were on me. The two guys turned me around and started to drag me towards a car.

"Noah what the hell is happening!" I yelled.

He stood there frozen and watched. The guys threw me into the car and shut the door leaving me to thrash around in the seat. The third guy got in and put a needle to my neck.

"No!" I yelled as he injected it in me.

My vision blurred but before everything with dark I could see Noah getting in the car beside me. I tried to say his name but it sounded like mumbled nonsense and soon everything became black.
