Broken Angel

Meeting her again

Massimo went to the charity event his mother had organized for orphan children. She had done those types of events for years now helping children in need. He understood that there was a way to ease her pain and agony for her lost daughter, so he tried to support her as much as he could. 

Anastasia really wasn't expecting his presence and it made her really happy. 

"My son, thank you for coming it means a lot to me. You have become my rock and my shelter."

Massimo smiled "Nothing I'll do is enough for you mother" - he said and he meant it.

Massimo's presence attracted more the interest of journalists, he was after all the man all girls and women of the country had a major crush on. 

He was speaking with two journalists when suddenly someone caught his attention. He turned his head again to make sure his eyes were not making tricks on him. 

Immediately he excused himself and walk to the gardens.

"Rose" - he called her name, but she did not react at all. So he called her again and then she turned around, her expression suddenly changed, she looked kind of scared and surprised.

Her p.o.v

"Rose" - I heard a man calling for the second time and I realized it may be me who he is talking to. I turned around and to my utter surprise, I saw Massimo Stark standing in front of me. He was so much taller than me, he exuded confidence, power, and dominance. His good build of muscle made him look like a beast almost, and his facial features were handsome and so masculine. His presence scared me, especially after realizing that I was alone with him in the gardens. All the others were at the party inside. 

"What are you doing here? Are you following me?" - he smirked at me

"What? No, I was helping as a volunteer at the kitchen, as I always do" - his assumption that I was following him made me angry.

"Well, the food was great I must admit. I usually don't like the food served at this kind of event, but today I finished it all" - he said and it sounded genuine 

"Hmmm. thank you" his presence was making me nervous. It wanted to just walk away and go home. "I have to go, good night"

"Rose, wait" - he said in a commanding tone that made me freeze. I once again turned around to face him.

"About what happened yesterday... I am sorry" - his words shocked me. He did not look like a person that would apologize to others and had a reputation of being arrogant and sometimes even cruel. 

"As long as it does not happen again, it's okay sir. You don't have to apologize to me" 

..........

Massimo pov

"About what happened yesterday... I am sorry"  - I heard myself saying and it shocked me. During my whole life, I have only apologized twice in my life, to my mother, and to John, after that horrible night that almost cost me my life. And here I was apologizing to this girl, I barely knew, what the f**k was happening with me?

She looked surprised as well, she was not expecting that from a man like me.

"As long as it does not happen again, it's okay sir. You don't have to apologize to me"  - she said and lowered her eyes. 

Damn, this little girl will be the end of me. She looks so innocent and f*****g beautiful, I have to have her. 

"Do you have plans for tomorrow Rose?'

She looked at me confused, I noticed that her eyes were aquamarine, I could have sworn she had green eyes. But neither less she was so beautiful and her eyes were her best feature, she looked like an angel.

"I know you quit your job at the restaurant, you did not have to do that. I'm assuming you don't have another job yet, so you are free tomorrow. I'll take you on our date at 7 pm sharp. Be ready, because I don't like to wait"

'Our.. our date? " she looked at me with wide eyes

"Yes, Rose. I like you a lot and I want to take you on a date. Tomorrow at 7 pm." - I said and I did not let her any time to answer back, walking away, inside the party/
