//Your safety is always on my mind//
(Picture is of Francesco Aka Frankie)
It was no lie that Frankie was one of the biggest flirts Alison had ever met. His constant use of pick up lines were painfull yet hilarious. The sixteen year old was cheeky so and so but made Alison smile and forgot about the man after her.
Alison and Frankie had soon become good friends and when Harold and Lorenzo came back they found the two on the sofa sleeping and a movie still playing. The main guard Alizo said nothing happened and no one came near the house which made Harold relieved. After the report everyone left and Harold brought Alison to bed before spending the night watching her; too make sure she was safe through the night.

It was now the 20th of December and Alison was back in her dorm packing to go to her aunt's house. She had already gotten all her presents sorted apart from one. Harold's. She didn't know what to give him since he had everything he wanted.
She had finished zipping up her suitcase and had already given all her friends their presents since she wouldn't see them this until 2015.
It was very early in the morning. Around 7am. The ride the airport would take some time.
Harold watched as Alison nearly put the things in her suitcase. Ever since he found out that Ettore was after Alison he hadn't had a wink of sleep. He couldn't bring himself to. He watched as she gracefully moved. In only a jumper and leggings she still looked like a Goddess to him.
Alison zipped up the bag and signed.
"Done?" Harold asked. She smiled before nodding. Harold stood up before picking up the heavy suitcase with ease. They both walked out of the room before Alison locked it with her key and then they both walked down to the car park before Harold put her suitcase in the boot while she get into the car.
Was Harold happy about Alison going 945.2 miles to California on her own without any guards? No. Did he want her to go? No. Did Alison give in when they argued? No. Was Harold going to let this go? No. Was he scared about what would happen to Alison when he wasn't around? Fuck yes.
But Alison was a stubborn person when she wanted to be and put up a pretty damn good fight when they argued. And in the end Harold gave into her annoyed and angry face was somehow very cute and very sexy to him and he found himself giving in. Something he had never done before and hoped not to do it again.
They were soon driving through Seattle and Alison found herself asking why Harold was in a suit at this time in the morning. He chuckled before telling her:
"I have a meeting that I must attend to"
"What's it about?"
"Someone's made a new sex drug in Russia, but the problem is that the drugs burn the inside's of a person. And they keep taking girls to test them. Apparently more than 1000 girls have died"
"Jesus, what are you going to do?" Alison said in shock.
"Well we know this person clearly has a lot of people on their side as the drug are still being tested and more girls are dying. The thing is that speaking on the phone could be dangerous, phone could hear us; so it's better to talk face to face"
Their conversation ended there. Alison couldn't help be feel sorry for the poor girls who had to go through that pain and she hope that whoever behind this would be stopped.
Alison had noticed that there was a black BMW that had been following them for over 10 minutes. The windows were tinted so she couldn't see the person were from the side mirror. She was getting worried and now she knew about Ettore she started to think the worse.
"Harry?" She said looking to her boyfriend.
"Sì Bella?" He asked looking at her her a moments before focusing back on the road.
"There's black BMW that's been following us" Alison said. Harold couldn't help but smile at her. He was surprised she noticed.
"I know Bella. I trying to lose him" Harold said sending her a reassuring smile before placing his large hands on her thigh. Harold drove around for a while trying to get rid of the BMW but he couldn't; it frustrated him.
He quickly parked in an empty parking space and saw that the car had stopped in the middle of the road. It was following them. The car finally realised that it had been caught so it started to drive away. Alison pulled out her phone and took a photo of the car. Harold gave Alison a questioning look. Alison showed him the photo.
"I though you might want to know the license plate" Alison said with a smile. Harold grinned at his girlfriend.
"Si bellezza. Il tuo assolutamente incredibile. La mia bella, la fidanzata stupefacente {You beauty. Your absolutely amazing. My beautiful, amazing girlfriend}" Harold said grinning before leaning forward and kissing Alison.
Alison could tell he said something good and kissed him back. They pulled away before getting back on the road.

Harold pulled up in front of the airport and turned off the engine. They both took off their steat belts. He turned to Alison and took her hand in his.
"Bella I'm not sure about this" Harold said voicing his thoughts. Alison turned to him and frowned.
"What do you mean?" Alison asked starting to think the worst.
"I don't want to leave you here. What if Errote knows where you are? What if he's planning to get to you while I'm not around?....I can't let that happen... I can't lose you Tesoro. Even the thought of it just..." Harold let out a sign. Alison looked at Harold with sad eyes but also with happiness.
"...Even the thought kills me....... I haven't known you for a very long time and I know it is incredibly foolish for me to say this.... But I can't live without you. I need you in my life. And what I feel for you? Cazzo I can't even begin to explain to you how I feel. I don't know how to. I absolutely adore you. And what if me leaving you here will be the cause of me losing you".
Harold let go of Alison and held the wheel with one hand and rubbed his temple with the other.
Alison's heart was beating faster. She couldn't help but smile at his words. No one had ever said anything like that to her. No one. And too hear how much she ment to him made all her worries about not being good enough for him were out of the window. She felt like everything would be alright because she knew how Harold wanted here. No matter what Alison could die and she would die happy. Hearing Harold talk like this made Alison forget he was part of the Mafia and would become the boss. But either way she had such strong feelings for him that she knew would never go away and she would never feel this was about someone else. Only with Harold.
She moved herself and straddles his lap. She picked he head up and kissed him; showing him what she felt for him. Harolds hands moved her her waist and the kiss stayed the same. It was a bit like there first kiss.
Unrushed
Gentle
Raw
Soft
Careful
And beautiful.
There lips moved together as if there were dancing a slow dance together. It was enough to bring them to their knees.
They slowly pulled away smiling at each other.
"Harry I want you to know that you mean more to me than you can ever imagine. And I understand where you coming from but have faith. We caught the person who was following us so that should make that stop for a while and I'm in a house full of people. I'm never going to be on my own. It will be ok" Alison said softly while caressing Harold's cheek.
"I don't want to lose you"
"And you won't".
Harold gave Alison one last kiss before they got out of the car.

Alison's plane was now ready to board to fly to California. Harold didn't want Alison to get on the plane but he knew Alison had set her mind on this trip. But Harold felt better since he managed to convince Alison to fly in his private jet even though she thought there was no need.
"Are you sure you don't want the guards to go with you?" Harold asked.
"Yes I'm sure. I don't want my family to ask questions and me have to come up with some lie". Harold nodded, understanding what she was saying.
Harold pulled Alison in his arms and kissed her with everything he had. He pulled away moments later now wanting to get into the kiss to much because he knew he would not let her go.
"Call me as soon as you get off the plane and when you meet up with you mum and when you at the house" Harold said and Alison nodding. He smiled before kissing Alison temple.
The couple bid each other goodbye before Alison picked up her carry on bag and followed the guards into the jet.
