as soon as my eyes fluttered open I noticed mattia's jaw was clenched and his hand was now gripping his gun
"STOP!" I shout at him "don't you fucking dare take that out!" I said as my eyes were directly on him but his eyes stayed on William "they have top security now, you really do not want to do this right now"
"mattia!" I called him but he still wouldn't look at me
before I knew it Mattia quickly grabbed my wrist and yanked me away
"Yo?!" I hear William shout
"Woah tia" I said as he dragged me around the club "stop!" I furrowed my eyebrows at the fact he wasn't listening to me
no words came out of him, he didn't even turn to look at me, he just kept walking as I failed at getting his hand off me, causing me to soon give up until realizing where he was headed
To the male bathroom
"Mattia no!" I pull back harder causing him to turn around and finally look at me "let me go!" I tried yanking my hand back but it only made him grip harder before yanking me inside the bathroom
I quickly shut my eyes tightly and put my free hand over my eyes
I am not trying to see anything that will leave me traumatized
"Everyone get the fuck out !" I heard Mattia shout following with stomps of everyone running out
I put my hand down and open my eyes noticing Mattia putting his gun away before yanking me with him to lock the bathroom door
"What the fuck is wrong with you!" I said
"What the fuck is wrong with me !? What the fuck is wrong with you!!" He shouted gripping my wrist even harder
"OW!" I quickly grab my hand in pain causing Mattia to finally let me go
As he removed his hand a bright red color was shown on my skin due to how hard he was squeezing my wrist
"Fuck" Mattia says, this time with a lower tone "I'm sorry I didn't—"
Before he can even finish his sentence I swing my hand, smacking him hard in the face leaving a sting feeling on the palm of my hand and leaving my hand marked on his cheek
"No!" I furrowed my eyebrows "you don't fucking get to show up out of no where and act like this Mattia!" I shove him "fuck you!"
he paused in shock, he didn't say anything, causing me to go silent too
we both just stared at each other for a minute before he finally spoke up
"is it bad I'm kinda getting turned on right now?" he smirked
"Mattia!" My eyes widen
"What??" He shrugged his shoulders
"You can't say stuff like that, especially not in this type of situation" I say "what the fuck Mattia" I smack the side of his arm
"well I'm sorry for being honest here, would you rather me say that or randomly see me get a bonner??"
"Mattia!" I couldn't help but laugh
"Okay I'll stop" he smiled
My laugh quickly faded away and my mood changed when my eyes land on his smile, I've missed that smiled
I quickly look away
I sat down not caring how unsanitary it is to sit on the male's bathroom floor "I need answers" I say
"And so do I" he said sitting down next to me "who the fuck was that back there?"
"don't change the subject" I said "this is about you, not me"
"I'm not telling you nothing until you tell me who that was" Mattia said causing me to roll my eyes
"William" I said
"Who the fuck is William" he said while making a disgusted face
"Mattia who are we talking about ?" I roll my eyes once again "that's his name"
"I asked who he was not what was his name was" he said
"I don't know" I answered
"You don't know?" He furrowed his eyebrows
"No I don't" I said
"How do you not know ?!"
"Because I just met him!" I said stressing out "all I know is that his name is William"
"And you were letting him touch you like that ??" He said
"why do you care? Honestly Mattia, you disappeared on me and now all of a sudden I can't let random men touch me?" I pause "okay that doesn't sound right but you get my point" I said "I'm single and I'm allowed to do what I want to do"
"I know and im sorry about that, I guess I just expected us to stay where we left off"
"after ghoasting me?" I furrowed my eyebrows "stay where we left off?" I laugh "last time I seen you my head was cracked open, I woke up in a hospital lost and confused then never heard from you again and you want to pick up where we left off??"
"You have to understand i had to" he said "I know it's fucked up and im sorry, I really am, but it was for the best" he explained "I've caused enough trouble, I couldn't bear to see you anymore knowing that you got seriously injured because of me"
I stayed silent for a second "it wasn't your fault though, it was Warren who hurt me, not you" I said "you weren't there for me when I needed you the most"
"Don't" he sighed "if I never came into your life—if I never got involved with you, that would've never happened and don't even try and deny it" he looked away "I was there when you needed me, who do you think got you to the hospital?"
A small tear rolled down my cheek but I quickly wiped it away before he could see it
"I'm sorry I disappeared on you like that" he moved my hair out the way
"My dad knows about you" I blurt out
He paused
"You told him?" He asked
"No, of course not" I answered "he's just got suspicious, well he doesn't know for sure because he doesn't have much evidence but he's onto you, kairi, and Alejandro" I look at him "he's been a lot to deal with, he's been my ass because he swears I know where you were this whole time, when I really did had no idea"
"I'm sorry" he kisses my forehead
I stand up "so that's it? That's all you came to do? Apologize like it's going to suddenly fix all my problems and make everything right again? Because I hope you know that's not what's going to happen from just an apology" I said
"I know Isabella, I just want to make sure you still get an apology, I get it won't fix things but—"
Mattias sentence was a interrupted by loud knocks coming from the other side of the door
"Yo you in there bella!?" jess shouted
"Who's that?" Mattia stood up as he whispered
"It's fine, it's my co worker" I whisper back reassuring him "yea I'm in here" I shouted
"You good?" She said
I walk towards the door and unlock it, only opening the door a little bit in where you can only see me but not Mattia "Yea I'm fine, did you need me?"
"Erika was asking for you, had me looking everywhere for you" she said
"Oh shit" I answered forgetting I had to get back to work "uh yea tell her ill get back to work right now"
"okay...um you sure your okay?" She asked once again
"Yea I'm fine" I gave her a soft smile "promise"
"Okay, I'll see you at the bar then" she smiled back at me
"mhm" i hummed before closing the door back again
I turned to Mattia "I have to get back to work" I let him know "it was nice catching up...or whatever this was" I let a low sigh out "bye—"
"I didn't come here just to apologize" he blurt out "I came here for something else, I-I just don't know how to say it, it's a crazy idea"
"I don't want to sound mean but I really have to get going, my boss does not play around and I already spent to much time playing dumb on the clock, I do not want to lose this job, I can't—"
"I'm leaving" he interrupts me "me, kairi, and ale are all leaving, the country to be specific"
"What?" I pause
"I-I well was wondering I-if you-u wanted to come with us? I know it's crazy which is why I kinda dragged in telling you but I really do want you to come with" Mattia said
"I-I don't know what to say" I answered
"I know it's a lot and i don't want to put more pressure but we're leaving in a couple of hours"
"What??" I choked
"It's just a quick yes or no" he said "I'll be fine with whatever you chose"
"Mattia you have to put in consideration that my whole life is here, my house, my job....my dad, you know I'm all my dad has" I softly said as I seen his eyes water up
"I get it" he rubbed his eyes "well I'll let you get back to work, um either way I have to finish up some things for the trip"
I take a deep breath as he walks up closer to me, his hands wrapped around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck, he kisses my forehead
"I wish you the best" he said
"Likewise" I said before pulling away and with that I walked away and got back to work
***
I spent the whole shift thinking about Mattia, wondering where he was off to, if he'd left already, how life would be if I left with him, how my dad would take it if I randomly disappeared
finally my shift was done and all I wanted to do and needed to do was go home and get some rest
I took off my uniform and changed back to my regular clothes
as i was leaving the club I noticed a black truck following me, I quickly picked up my pace but as I was about to cross the street, the truck stoped right in front of me
The window rolled down and I seen Mattia
"Fuck Mattia" I let out a relief "fucking scared me" I touch my beating heart
"Sorry" he said
"I thought you left already?" I said
"no, I couldn't, not without you" he said
"Mattia-"
"I know I know but just please hear me out" he plead "I get it, it's crazy to leave your life behind like that but do you really have much to lose? if you leave with me I guarantee you a home, a job, a happier life because we both know your miserable here, and I promise you that if you ever get home sick, I'll bring you right back or if you miss your dad I won't stop you from calling him or checking up on him, but you need to put yourself first here, I know it's giving you a lot of pressure being the only one your dad has but your an adult now and your allowed to have your own separate life, I'm sure he'll be happy as long as he knows your happy and doing okay" he explained "so what do you want? do you want to come with me?"
I stood there, quiet
He had a point, but I have a point too
"But you disappeared on me tia" I finally spoke
"Like i said, I had to, If I didn't then their could've been a lot of bad people after you, just like Warren" he said "but I promise you things would be safer for both of us if we leave" he continued "people will try their hardest to get you to get to me, knowing now that your my weakness and I can't let that happen"
"Okay" I said "I want to leave with you" i finally gave in making Mattia have a big smile on his face "but you have to explain some things"
"Of course, what do you want to know ?"
"Where we going?" I asked And with that the window behind rolled down revealing a happy kairi
"Paris babyyyy!" Kairi answered
"Holly fuck" I said "seriously?"
"Yup" Alejandro who was in the drivers seat answered
"And how are we getting there?"
"Private jet babyyy!" kairi said
"Can you stop with the whole 'babyyy' stuff" Mattia groaned at kairi making me laugh "it got annoying real quick"
"We've been doing a lot of hustling during the time we disappeared" Alejandro said "which is how we own a whole jet now" he smirked
"So should I pack or?" I said
"You don't have to" Mattia said "I could buy you a whole new wardrobe over there" he smiled
"Okay then" I smiled back "new wardrobe it is"
"come on then, we have a plane to catch"
The end
