Betrayed Love

Chapter six

 Sarah pov.

  It was 8 in the morning, I went to the washroom to take a long and warm shower to calm myself down after another night full of nightmares.

 I changed in a pair of jeans, boots and an oversized hoodie and put my long hair into a messy bun.

  I walked into the kitchen to have some breakfast but I realised that I have left just one bottle of water in the fridge, I sighed in frustration but because today is my day off from cake shop I decided to go to the mall to buy new supplies.

  It was still early in the morning and was a bit sunny today and I enjoyed walking there. After walking some time I started having a strange feeling that someone is watching me, but I decided to ignore this feeling and soon I reached the grocery store.

  I tried to buy just the essentials items because my wallet cannot allow me to pay for anything else and my heart aches looking at Ben&Jerry vanilla ice cream but.... I just took another bottle of milk smiling slightly, hoping one day I will be able to buy everything I want... but more than that I hope to be free.... 

 Even though I was lost in my thoughts the feeling that someone was looking at me and following me started to become more and more intense. 

 When I was about to leave, I felt someone pushing me and I feel on the floor, everything was so fast that I didn't had time to react, trying to figure out what was happening I raised my head to look around and saw that my bag and my purchases had all been snatched and in that moment I just felt lost, empty ,numb...

  I was fed up, fed up with this life and I started crying like a lost child thinking what am I going to do now, the little money that I had was in my bag. Now I'm out of money and without food and supplies I can't take it anymore." Why me? Why does this happen to me? " I was wondering alone in tears when suddenly I heard his voice, the man who was stuck deep in my mind since the first time I saw him.

"Sarah! Come here, love! what happened? Why are you crying?" Enzo approached me and gently pulled my chin up, urging me to look at him but I was too embarrassed.

 "Tell my what happened, maybe I can help.." his expression was soft but in the same time was serious and displayed nothing but sincerity. 

 Although he was bossy, I was happy not to be alone, I was glad that he was here...I felt that I could trust him... when our eyes met I saw no malicious intentions in his eyes, what I saw was entirely unknown to me but was enough to set my skin on fire.

  He was curious about me, maybe as much as I was curious about him. He is a really attractive man, I can't deny it.

 His blue glowing eyes were filled with secrets, darkness and pain that I wish to remedy or solve and I am clueless on how I should deal with this feeling because I can't trust or be involved with someone like him. NOT AGAIN! But I decided to tell him what happened.

 "Someone stole my bag and my shopping, and I don't know what to do." I told him everything feeling a few tears running down my cheeks.

 "Did you see who did it?" he asked me gently, wiping my tears with his thumb.

 "No... everything happened so fast..." I mumbled starting to cry again.

 "Hey... don't cry, we can solve this. Look at me! You are way too beautiful to waste time crying, piccola. Especially when I'm around."

 I looked at him trying to figure out what he meant by that and I saw him with a credit card pointed in my direction " N-no..no..what are you doing? I can't take it, I..I can't be in debt to anyone else!"

 He pulled me closer to him, grabbed my hand and placed the card in it then whispered in my ear " Go there and buy everything you need!" in a demanding tone.

 My body shivered when he touched me and standing  that close to him made me breathless. I was overwhelmed by the fact that someone besides Mary wanted to help me, someone else cares about me .

 My body wanted to stay here forever but my brain was giving emergency alerts to get away. I was feeling bad about using his money when I hardly know him.

 But I had no other choice and I would pay him back as soon as I could.

 " Thank you, I"ll be right back!" I hesitated to take the card and with a heavy smile I went back inside the shop.

 I bought again everything what I need it feeling a little more relaxed but at the same time guilty, very guilty because this time I took the ben&jerry's ice cream with me.
