I was listening to the radio station while cooking some breakfast. I'm in a good mood today. Don't know why but it's settling well with me. I sing the high notes of Beyoncé, I care.
[ Well I care, I know you don't care too much but I still care, la la, babyyy]
- Mayaaaa oh God!. Why you so loud?. - My godmother walked in the kitchen with a messy hair and pale face, she looks sick today.
I turned off the radio. - Tia why you look sick today?. You wasn't party with your friend last night you came early. - I muttered worried watching her sitting on the stool.
- Don't know I was throwing up, my stomach feels like I'm going to erupt again.- she said with disgust.
- Perhaps you're pregnant. - I said joking and patted her arm but then my smile dropped the moment I saw her panic face.
OH...Crap!. .-.
- Are you pregnant ?!.- I asked worried bout her response.
- Maya... I... He'... Oh God.- she buried her red face under her hands. I heard a sob.
Oh God!.
I hugged her. - Shhh it's okay we don't really know right?.- I grabbed her face to wipe her tears.- I'll buy the tests and we'll know, si?!. - I smiled so anxious and desperate to see her smile.
She just nodded her head not knowing what to say or do!.
The rest of the day we spent it in Downtown, New York visiting some friends of my godmother and talking about my job aspirations.
It's a bit difficult to settle in a new country where you don't really know where are you going to apply for a good job where you're qualified.
Obviously my godmother who (I don't understand why my mom picked her to be my godmother and so young like she looks like 15 years older than me) got an energy like a 7 years old kid.
Always excited about everything she sees.
Since i decided to help her with the pregnancy test, i told her i'd go to the pharmacy to get her a couple.
In my way entering I step onto someone's chest, fucks it!, it crunched my nose.
I stumbled back by this heavy man.
Oh dear Jesus!!
The second I glazed at this suit I knew this was gonna be the death of my innocent eyes.
However, no every man you see in suit and tie is good.
Beginning with prominent jaw, thick eyebrows and thin nose, was this stormy gaze. Grey eyes... Angry ones.
- I'm so so sorry I was fast in my pace.â Wait... why am I apologising for? he was the one at fault.
- You should be more concern about where your feet land, cucciola.
Jeez... His angry voice made me shiver and feel intimidated.
Tf? He's angry, man?
- Well, maybe if you pay attention this would not have occurred. It was your fault walking so fast, like the one who owns the entry.
I folded my arm arching my eyebrow and lips. He just furrowed his brows, maybe confused?
- I know you.- He looked at me. Like really eyeing me from head to toe, it was making me uncomfortable. A side grin appeared on his features. He put his hand on his jaw scratching it. - Delicious.- He barely whispered for himself.
*Jaw Drops*
- Excuse me? You are pervert I don't know you nor seen you before so you can continue your way and let me have mine. Thank you. - I smiled, waving my hair.
Who does this man thinks he is?, just because he is rich doesn't mean he can disrespect me like that. I got into the store already finding what I was looking for.
Mmm...I think I'm gonna grab two random tests. I was about two grab the second... Till he yanks my arm back.
Close to him, I can feel the heat irradiating from him, it makes me feel bothered and hot.
- Don't do that ever again. - he spoke sternly with angry eyes. I was confused and a little scared by his behaviour. - I am not a pervert, nor the king of Manhattan. I... I apologi...
He stopped talking eyeing the pregnancy test I've got on my hand. I don't know why I got nervous.
- I... its not mine. - I looked at the test not wanting to look at his eyes anymore, ashamed with myself already for being weak.
He stared at me blankly. - I don't care.- he started to turn to the exit and I don't know why I feel the need to have his attention.
- What were you apologising for? Besides you said you know me, from where?- I talked loudly. He turned side ways with annoyance on his face.
- Never mind, I don't even know why I'm talking to some teenage. It was a mistake.
I never felt so offended in my whole life from some strangers words.
- I AM 21, and may be you need someone to check on your memory. Ageing must be hard, now I got to go, have a nice day. - I took another another test as fast as I could and payed for my items ignoring the cashier looks between us. He was waiting for me, not so far to the exit. I get pass him like he wasn't there.
It took him a couple of seconds for him to get annoyed at my ignorance, and yanked my arm again, making me furious.
- Cazzo, I'm not old. - he hissed. - Not at all. - His nostrils were flaring. He's irritated.
He took a step dangerously close to me.
- If you were mine you would be well spanked on that fat ass from being too cocky. I won't repeat myself again, Don't ever do that again. - he was breathing hard so close to me.
The truth was, I was more scared and intimidated by his anger than the dirty feelings he's causing on my body with his tight grip on my arm. He suddenly noticed and released me.
I collected myself.
- What the hell?????. I'm not your sugar baby nor slave to treat me like that. Get away from me. - I started to walk fast to where my godmother was.
My heart was hammering so hard. I never looked back. I feel weak like a rush of adrenaline just subsided.
Who was him?. Why I was a little turned up by his touch when he was obviously harassing me?! Am I sick?.
I noticed Natalia, my godmother on a row paying, I waited for her, actually relieved with the little space to calm myself.
- Sooo you bought the tests? - Natalia asked me a little afraid and nervous at the same time. She was folding her bags.
- Yeah, do you need something more?.- I asked already feeling exhausted and hungry.
- No, but I wanted you to try these dresses, they would look good on you I bet.- she smiled not reaching her eyes. she was postponing to take the tests. I tried on the dresses to ease her anxiety. They looked good on me. I've got a model body God given. Grateful for that.
We paid for everything and decided to order some food at The Terrance. When we walked inside I noticed less people than the last time. I felt a little expose cause this restaurant is for high class people. Natalia can afford this. I don't know how, but whatever I'm hungry.
We sat a bit uncomfortable waiting for our food, I know how she feels. That's why I don't what to share my encounter with that enigmatic man, she'll be more worried. I'm not looking forward to it.
- You can talk to me. You don't have to hide your words or feelings, it will make me useless here as a family and friend too. - I began, trying to sound amicable.
- I... I'm terrified. He isn't... We're over for good. What if...- she mumbled looking nervous.
- Let the "What If" for later cause first, you're worrying over something that you can't control or have any idea if that's positive. Stop postponing. It won't make your problems go away. And IF that kid exist, his father has to take care of it, doesn't matter if he likes it or not.
She sighed - You're right I'm old enough to have my panties well located.- it makes me smile at that comment.
- I'm going to take it now, here. - she said confident but I can tell she was terrified.
I held her hand. - I'm here for you. You know that.- I smiled.
- I will take it alone. You wait for the food, I don't want you to get me more anxious. - she chuckled standing.
-Fair enough girl. - I smiled feeling anxious already. And I wasn't the one probably preggo.
I was stretching my arms feeling more than exhausted mentally and psychically with the events occurred in less than 5 hours.
I sighed, massaging my neck...
I looked left.
Oh My God...
Oh Fuck!.
He's coming.
My eyes couldn't be more open right now. What the hell is he doing here?. Im literally watching him mouth opened how he takes a chair and sit there besides me like he was the one in the bathroom and came to tell me it's a negative. His flipping aura!. I don't know why I'm liking it.
- What the....- I started talking angrily low.
Oh my God!. He did not just put his hand on my mouth to shut me out, did he?
His hand feels cold like you recently wash it with a fragrance... Hugo boss?
Weak Maya.
- No cucciola. I wasn't following you. I eat here. You just happen to be here.- he grinned at me flexing his arms on the table.
- I don't trust you. You seem...- he interrupted me again.
- Dangerous?. Like I'm going to blackmail you, nor kidnap you?- he asked rhetorically. - Not cucciola, although you don't seem afraid of being around me.
I looked down feeling caught. I don't even know why I'm acting stupid in front of him. I looked at him, trying to read his eyes.
Then it hits me.
I gasped. - I... Know you.- I coughed. - I mean you came here before with some men. But your hair was well styled with gel and black suit, and tie. - I smiled remembering that moment. I didn't notice that i was smiling like a little girl till he opened his mouth to let a sassy comment out.
- Oh you remember me, si. Good enough to recall my attire cucciola. - he grinned a side cocky dimple showing off.
Weak af.
- Well I recall since I was talking with a man from your table. How is he by the way?. Poor guy I feel bad I step on his toe. - I sincerely speak, playing with the napkin.
He stared at me. Blankly. Mood change 360'.
I was about to speak again when Natalia came shyly to us, surprised that I was sitting with... Who?
- Hey, I didn't know you have friends in this country already.- she smiled politely at ... who again?.
- Ah, This is Natalia my godmother, yes way too young, and Nat, this is...- I looked at him wanting his help. He catches it naturally.
He takes her hand and smile, like an actual smile.
Sly man.
I bet it's his business smile. It doesn't reach his eyes. But good enough to charm. You almost got me.
- Draco. - he shakes his hand two times smiling. - Nice to meet you Natalia.
His accent. His name, Fucking Italian sauce!
My godmother started giggling forgetting the pregnancy test. Oh well, at least he's useful.
- Where did you two met?, Maya. - she asked taking a seat in front of me, besides him.
I see she is willing to dig in some gossips. Not knowing what to say I looked at Draco. He smiled, telling me promises with those eyes.
- Well Natalia, this beautiful girl, Maya, helped me the other day I met her here. - he so easily told her a story like he eats lies as breakfast. She just believes him.
I was grateful, not wanting to tell her how I really met him!.
While they were speaking I payed attention to his features, he is so charming when he wants to, but not with me. The food arrives interrupting my pathetic thoughts.
- Would you like to eat with us, Draco? - Natalia asks him already bitten by this snake.
- Oh, I would like to believe me. - I hold my breath, please no... He looked at me and then at his watch and something changes in his eyes.
- But I'm afraid I have to go. - I don't know why I'm feeling this way inside me. What if I don't see him again?
Maya, rich guys are only for display, they all bite, most of them are not worthy. Let it go!.
- Oh that's a shame. It's was a pleasure meeting you, Draco. - they bid each other goodbyes, not before asking me.
- Maya, you were about to give me your phone, si?. - He says smiling devilish.
Smooth!.
- Oh right I almost forgot. - I faked a smile and take his phone he purposely make me rose his hand to make me uncomfortable.
Smooth bastard!.
While I was writing my number I debated on putting a fake number. But he the looks gives me reading my eyes and warning me, and then continue to chat with my godmother.
Fuck!.
I passed him his phone.
- I must go now, enjoy the food, Natalia. - He bends over me to whisper on my ear.
- You'll squirt on my fingers for that one, cucciola.
*Chokes on Hugo Boss*
With that he kissed my cheek and leaves.
- Bye, Draco. - Natalia waves a smile.
My phone started ringing, displaying a number. Smart ass. - You got my number, thank you Natalia for your time.
She smiles waving at him till he turns to the exit. She turns to look at me.
- Speak. - she says.
I rolled my eyes.
- No. You speak, are you or not pregnant?.- I asked with all the seriousness.
- Ye...yes. - She uttered, eyes watering. - But please, at home, lets eat, alright?. - She said with a sad smile.
We started eating and minutes after my iPhone buzzes with a message.
«Your skin smells devine, cucciola.
I'm lost ...
on him.
Finished on May 30. I Hope you like this chapter, it was a bit hard trying to write the way they met.
