I was completely speechless as he pulled me into his chest and tears began to flow down. He completely strayed from the point and turned to part of me I didn't speak of for a while. He knew me inside out. I snuggled against his warm chest inhaling his familiar perfume.
"I missed you." he whispered in my ear.
"I missed you so much too." I leaned up and kissed his jaw before snuggling back into his arms
"We'll think of something." he comforted me "I promise."
After my emotional while in Alessandro's closet I left him and went downtown to cool off and think a little. It was night now and the mansion was too closed up for everything. I needed space and the park had tons of it. Everything was too much in such a short space of time; losing my best friend, a break up and a possibility of losing a brother.
I was so deep in my thought while I strolled through it that I wasn't looking where I was going until bumped into a muscular back and looked up. The figure turned around and I came face to face with a familiar and sexy face. Those piercing green emeralds and angular jaw which gave him the look of a Greek god!
"Neveah?" he asked confused "What are you doing out here without security this hour?"
"D-D-Damanico?" I stammered "You're alive?"
We stared at each other intensely. The atmosphere was mixed with shock and confusion.
"What the hell are you doing here?" he asked me fiercely looking around
"What?" I asked confused "Just taking a stroll. Why?"
"Don't you know the Swedish are hunting around now for any part of your twin's mafia and you could be killed?" he hissed fiercely at me
I looked at him blankly and he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the thick trees. I wanted question him but I was way too confused to talk. He pulled my until I spotted a black Porsche 918 Spyder parked and waiting.
"Get in." he said to me and I did as I was told.
Soon we were on the main road heading for the cliffs at the edge of a forest. I was quiet as he parked and turned off the engine and turned to me furiously.
"What made you leave without security?' he almost yelled "You know the rules Neveah!"
"What give you the right to yell at me you kidnapper!" I yelled back "Where's Royalty and how did you escape?"
"That's not important!" he lowered his voice
"Yes it is!" I felt tears flowing down "Where's my best friend?!"
"She's safe in my house." he answered me "That's all I'll say."
That's good but I need more information.
"Don't ask anything more about her." he read my mind "She's safe and fine and if you're good I might let you see her."
I folded my arms furious as I stared out at the cliff in front of me. I knew if I said anything more I might lose the chance of seeing her and bringing her back home away from him.
"Why did you bring me here?" I asked after a few moment of deafening silence
I hated to admit it but I loved his thick voice. It made me feel aroused and hot for some reason.
"I don't want you in the middle of a war zone." he looked at me
"War zone?" I turned to him "I was taking a freaking stroll in a public park. What war zone?"
I was really throwing a bitch fit now and somehow he seemed amused by that. He smirked at me and I felt shocks hit my core as his chuckled filled the silence of the car. I shifted my legs a little trying to ignore the tingling feeling.
"You're really mouthy Neveah." he reached beneath the seat
Oh shit! A gun!
"You want one?" he handed me a soda "It's still cold and there's Doritos under your seat if you're hungry."
"Grazie." I took the soda from him and reached under my seat for the big packets of Doritos "Aren't you on Cardinal's side? How come you are nice and won't kill me when you know I could tell my brothers about you?"
He looks so perfect!
"No. I'm loyal to Xavier since he helped me out a shit ton of trouble." he stared out at the dark horizon "I owe him. Why are you out so late?"
"Oh." I said softly looking down "I needed to clear my mind so I snuck out without permission."
"Why?' he asked gently "Is something wrong at the mansion bambina?"
Could I trust him too? He kidnapped your best friend twice! But he's keeping her safe! Alright tell him.
I poured out the whole story while he listened in silence. He became a little tense though.
"So Jennifer is making her move?" he said to himself softly "I didn't think she would be so stupid to believe my Uncle."
"Uncle?" I was confused and knitted my brow
"Yes Cardinal is my Uncle and Lucario's father." he replied "My mother is Cardinal's sister."
I looked at him blackly.
That would explain why he and Lucario had that slight resemblance!
I turned away from him and popped open the packet of Doritos and took out a few. I munched on it quietly while looking out the window.
"Why'd you take her?" I asked not turning to look at him
"To help her get away from your twin." he answered flatly taking the packet from me
"Hey!" I argued "That's mine!"
"Who bought it?!" he grinned at me
I pouted at him and folded my arms at him.
"Meanie." I grumbled under my breath
"What the heck?" he laughed "Are you three again?"
I laughed with him.
