I wasn't hurt anymore. My dad and I may not always get along but in the end of the day he Is my father and the least I could do is respect him. Thats what my mom would've wanted me to do. I've disappointed her enough,I don't want to disappoint her anymore.
I heard a knock on my door and I looked at it and it was my dad he walked in and sat at the foot of my bed.
"Princess I'm sorry I called you those names. I've been really stressed out and I seemed to of taken the anger out on you.Please forgive me." He said
I took a deep breathe.
"I forgive you dad but I'm not saying i'll forget. What you said hurt" I said looking down at my phone avoiding eye contact.
"Ok thats fine but please pack you're bags for 3 days we are flying out to Italy. I have a huge shipment coming in and I need to make sure the men in Italy know what there doing. We are leaving in 3 hours ."
I just nodded and he got up and walked out. I've been to Italy once but I was still a baby and can't remember that. I can barely remember what I had for breakfast let alone something that happened when I was just a little baby.
The flight over was long and awkward. We flew in Emilio's private jet and that was amazing. I didn't have to hear the cry of a baby or people complaining. I just wished that my dad hadn't made things awkward. You see it wasn't just my dad and my brothers.Emilio's family was with us. Which meant the one and only Cole Moretti was there. My dad gave Cole these nasty looks.
If looks could kill Cole would be dead.
As we got off the jet I walked behind everyone. Hunter, Max, and my dad walked towards a black Cadillac. I was a much slower walker than them. I was tired I hadn't gotten any sleep and it was 9am here in which meant it was 3:00 Am back in New York.
"Hurry up sky. Grandma Cathalina walks faster then you and she's eighty" Max yelled from the car.
I just groaned and made a pouty face.
"Max it is not the time to be yelling I'm dead tired,I want food, and I just want to lay down right here."
"Oh yes if you lay down right there you'll probably get run over by a plane" He said.
I just stood there glaring at him. I felt someone pick me up and throw me over their shoulders like if I was a rag doll. I punched their back at first. I soon I realized who it was.
"I hate you Cole."
"Well at least I know now that someone is not a morning person." He said
The car wasn't that far, he gently placed me on the seat of the car and before I could say anything my dad interrupted whatever I was gonna say.
"Moretti stay away from my daughter. I didn't want you to meet her for a reason and I'm still pissed at your dad for making her be introduced so soon. There is a time and place for everything and it was still to soon." my dad said from the passenger side of the car.
Cole just snickered and walked away.
On the way over to wherever the hell we were going I fell asleep. I woke up to the abrupt sound of hunter yelling at me to get out of the car. When I got outside the car I looked up and saw a massive casino.
I trotted along pulling my small suitcase along. I looked like a 4 year old who was about to throw a temper tantrum.
"Dad why are we here I want to lay down in a bed and take a nap."
"This is where we are staying princess." my dad said
We were walking through the casino and it smelt like cigar. I plugged my nose with my hand as we passed all the gamblers. In the corner of my eye I saw these 2 massive guards who where outside a door. It had a velvet rope and it had a huge door but the windows were tinted black.
When we finally got to the room I took one of the beds and just laid there. I took another nap. when I woke up it was about noon. I rubbed my eyes. I thought I heard something and I just ignored it. I thought it was just my ears playing a trick on me but I heard it again. I ran over to the bedstead and grabbed my gun. I swung the door open and ran to the living room of the suite.
What I saw scarred me for life.
"Hunter. Really if you're gonna fuck someone do it when I'm not here or in a room." I said as I threw my hands over my eyes.
"Oh hey sky.... fuck.... dads out... max is somewhere... can you leave?" hunter managed to blurt out.
"Trust me I'm not staying for the show.I feel like I need to bleach my eyes. Well at least you're finally deflowered Hunty."
I went back to the bedroom changed quickly and threw on my makeup. I grabbed my phone and the ran out the doors not wanting to see hunter. I looked at the floor the whole time until I was at the door to get out of the room.
Cole and I were meeting down stairs.
I got off the elevator and I walked along the side passing that room or whatever with the guards.
"SKY" I heard someone yell
I turned around and there was Cole. There were a few girls surrounding him awning at him. Out of all the girls he was just staring at me. It felt like one of those cliche movie scenes where time stops. I walked over and just smirked.
"All right girls can you get off my man before I beat the shit out of you."
Eventually the girls left Cole alone
"Your man?" He said and gave me that damn devilish smirk.
"I was just trying to get those girls off you it was nothing Cole."
He just rolled his eyes.
"Don't get your panties in twist Moretti I could be exploring Milan by myself but I chose to spend time with you. Plus you're pretty cool to hang out with"
"Have you ever had real Italian food darling?" he asked as he opened his car door for me. I got in the car and buckled up. yes I buckle up I'm not gonna take that risk.
"I've had Olive Garden"
He started laughing as he drove off.
"Are you serious Sky. I'm taking you to Trattoria Del Nuovo Macello they have amazing food."
I just nodded and smiled
When we got to the restaurant it was nothing too extravagant, But I liked it.We sat there at the table and just talked. It was nice, It made me feel normal. Then reality set in and I knew I could never be normal. I can't go out anymore without being followed by guards. For once they weren't there. I didn't have to worry about them telling every little thing I do to my father.
I felt like I could tell Cole anything. I don't trust people easily and yet I trust him. This was all so new to me.
This feeling. I couldn't shake it off. Its been there for awhile now. I keep trying to brush it off but I can't seem to let the damn feeling go.
The way he kissed me.
The way he cares for me.
No Skylar stop it right here. It all seems to good to be true. He just wants to use you like every other guy you've met. Stay in the comfortable friend zone. You can't get your heartbroken if you never give anyone you're heart. Never tell someone you have feelings for them,they'll just end up hurting you.
I was interrupted from my thoughts when I felt Cole grab my hand from across the table.
"You were in a daze sky, anyways are you ready to go back?" He asked
I just stared into his eyes and nodded.
As we drove off he had his tattooed hand on my thigh and that didn't really bother me. I just stared out the window until he started talking.
"Theres still a day full of adventures sky. name a thing and we will do it. whatever you wanna do we can, even if its you dragging me along as you shop." he said
"Hmm I would like to go shopping but I'm pretty sure you would want to shoot yourself cause I can be at the shops all day."
He gripped my thigh even tighter. I pulled his hand off and glared at him.
"If thats what you want. Of course Id rather be doing other things with you that involve you and I. You can't resist for that long sweet-cheeks.You don't know what you're missing out on. I'll make you're world in just a night. You'll be breathless after I'm done with you." He said placing his hand back on my thigh .
