Mixed Feelings (book 1) - Chapter 15：His Ignorance

Walking towards my car, I couldn’t take those words out of my head. Why did he say that, who was he referring to?

When I reached the parking lot, I forgot that my car was at the office.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and about to call beth, but there was an incoming call from an unknown number.

I answered it, “Hello.”

“I’m waiting, come fast” he hangs up without even listening to me.

It was Enzo; I can recognize his husky voice.

I looked around to see where he was, then I saw a black Lamborghini waiting silently at the corner.

I walked there, opened the door and climbed in.

I looked at Enzo; he was looking at someone else. I looked at the direction he was looking at and saw Aron and Remond talking to each other, he started the car and took us to his mansion.

Suddenly I remembered everything beth said about Enzo.

What she said about him scared the hell out of me.

But when I spend time with Enzo, I don’t feel like that. I’m not scared of him anymore; he saved me from that monster and didn’t even ask me about him. He gave me my space, I don’t think he’s dangerous, He was kind to me.

I smiled at that thought.

Maybe he wasn’t kind towards anyone, but he was kind towards me, I liked it.

We reached inside his mansion, he parked his car in his garage and we walked inside.

“Vennesa there is no work at the office today, so you can stay at home and do your homework,” he said, typing something on his phone.

Maybe I’m overthinking, he just helped me and maybe he doesn’t feel the way I feel for him.

I sighed and said, “okay, then I will go back to my house.”

“No, your house is not safe to stay here. I’ll call my driver and tell him to bring your things; You stay here and No Answer required. ”

He said and went to his office without even glancing at me.

I went to the room where I stayed yesterday and took a shower, wore my clothes.

I was feeling hungry so, I went into the kitchen and prepared a pancake with coffee.

After a few minutes, while I was eating Enzo’s driver came to me.

“Miss fosters, do you need anything from your house,”

I thought for a second and remembered that novel which I decided to read today.

“What’s your name, sir”

“Paul Davis ma’am”

“Paul, you can call me Venessa”

He nodded, I smiled at him.

“Ok, I want to take some things from my house I’ll come too”

“Uh… Venessa Mr. Francisco said not to take you there even if you ask”

How did he know that I would ask him to take me there?

“Then I’ll call you and tell what to bring ok,”

He said ok and walked towards the car.

After a few minutes, he called me, I told him to bring my books, my clothes, and some other things.

He brought them to me; I carried them and put them in my room.

I took that book from the box and sat down on the bed. I opened the book and started reading it.

It took 3 hours to complete that book, it was a beautiful love story I loved it.

When I closed it, A letter slipped from it. I opened it; it was the same letter which was kept inside the gift that day.

I brushed my fingers over the letters L.F.

I quickly recognized them.

” L.f….. Lorenzo Francesco,” I said out to myself.

I smiled.” he sent this to me,” I said turning the book.

I took the book with me and ran towards his office, but I couldn’t find it.

It was fucking difficult to find; this mansion is like a maze.

Suddenly I bumped into someone.

“Sorry ma’am” she was a lady maybe in her 40s.

“It okay, can you tell me where’s Enzo’s office?” I asked impatiently.

“Downstairs at the right corner,”

I ran downstairs and knocked on the door.

“Come in”

I stepped inside smiling like a kid, I slowly walked towards his desk.

His office was modern and beautiful. It was huge there was a couch and a sofa, a big bookshelf and a desk.

He wasn’t looking at me; his head was buried in his laptop.

“Enzo” I called out.

“What do you want?” He asked harshly.

My smile quickly dropped and a frown made its way.

I lowered my gaze.

“Did you…send this to me?” I asked in a low tone.

He looked at the book in my hands for a minute and looked at me.

“Yes, I sent them to every woman I like don’t flatter yourself.”

I was hurt by his words, tears were rolling in my eyes. I slowly turned towards the door.

” Venessa ” he called me out; I turned towards him.

He stood up from his chair and walked towards me.

Tears were flowing through my eyes.

“Venessa, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to say that” he tried to touch my face.

I stepped back and looked at him with tears in my eyes; I shook my head and ran towards my room.

After a few minutes, Enzo knocked on the door

“Venessa,”

I didn’t answer, I just sat there like a statue.

This is all my fault. I thought he liked me, but he doesn’t, how am I this stupid to think he likes me.

Suddenly Enzo burst into my room, he was very angry and scary.

He walked towards my bed and sat down at the edge near me; we stared at each other as if it was a silent argument until tears arose in my eyes and found myself crying like a baby.

“Why” I hiccuped, tears were rolling down from my cheek.

He didn’t say anything; he just stared at me.

“Why did you ignore me?” I asked hiccuping.

“Because I love you, I don’t want to drag you into my world.”

I was happy to hear it because I think I love him too. From the day when I saw him, I couldn’t forget him; He was in my mind all the time.

He leaned on a little closer; our foreheads were touching. We were breathing hard, He pulled my face and our lips met causing my body to flush with heat.

His lips were soft tastes like cherries and midnights under turning galaxies, I closed my eyes and all I could feel was him. He cupped my cheek and pulled me on his lap. It was slow and soft.

His hands moved below my ears, his thumb caressing my cheek as our breaths mingled.

My hands were around his neck, pulling him closer until there was no space left between us.

I could feel his heart beating rapidly against my chest; he pressed his tongue to the seam of my lips and, at my grant of access, delved inside my mouth.

He moved his hand from my chick to the back of my head, adding more pressure and deepening the kiss.

As we parted, I saw his eyes sparkle and lips curve up into a smile and I couldn’t help but smile back.

“I love you,” he said, kissing my forehead. He stood up and left my room leaving me breathless.
