Loves True Crime: A twisted Mafia Tale

Chapter 16 Alexander

Dr. O'mally walks in the room and I instruct him immediately to treat Alexis’s self inflicted wound. I move out of the way away and lean on the door frame, and he does as he’s told. Thinking about how I’m going to deal with the terms of this agreement. I can’t hold her, I can’t kiss her. Hell I can’t even f*****g talk to her. How the hell am I going to get her to like me if she’s so unavailable? I take a deep breath and walk out, making my way upstairs to my room. Unlocking the door, I go in and close the door behind me. So many emotions is running through my head right now I don’t know how to feel. Yes I got her to agree to stay here, to share my bed. And creepy as it sound to have s*x with me, but at what cost? As long as she’s here I can never speak to her directly, I can’t express my feelings to her. To get her to see I’m not a bad guy. What’s the point? I question my self. I fall back on my bed laying down looking at the ceiling for answers. Eventually I close my eyes and try to relax. Then I remember she hasn’t ate yet.

Quickly I get up and run to the intercom and press “5.” “Claire have lunch prepared for me and Alexis in thirty minutes. And let her know that she is expected to be there.” “Yes Sir” was all se replied back. I walk to the bathroom turning on the water, preparing to take a shower Ma’s words popped up in my head. “Kill her with kindness, show her what a sweet boy you can be.” That’s it! I don’t need words, my actions will make her fall in love with me. She won’t stand a chance against my charm. Of course it’s the perfect plan. “Alexis Roberts prepare to be swept off your feet.” I declare out loud as I get in the shower in a better mood.

Alexis

After the doctor stitches my wrist he tells me that he’s already given me pain killers so just take those if my pain come back. Soon after he packs his kit, cleans up the mess and leaves. He leaves me all alone in Alexander’s office. Not knowing what to do I just stand there looking lost. Then I remember I am free, well semi-free. I’m free to roam the mansion at least. I grab my copy of the agreement and head for the door. I still can’t believe I made a deal with the Devil. I hesitate for a minute not sure what waits for me on the other side. I’m not even sure if it’s unlocked or not, or if there’s another bodyguard waiting for me. Reaching for the knob I grab it and turn it, and to my surprise it’s open. I sigh in relief and walk out, closing it behind me. Not sure where I’m going I look around a pick a direction. As I walk the halls I notice how nice this place actually is. I wouldn’t mind living here under different circumstances that is. Admiring all the paintings and decorum I don’t see where I’m going and bump into someone.

I stumble back but he grabs my arm before I fall completely. I look up at him and a sense of relieve washes over me when I realize he’s not Alexander. “Careful piccola fuoco.” He says letting me go once I get my balance. To put some space between us I take a step back “uhm thank you, I’m Alexis.” I hold my hand out for him to shake it and he does. “Oh I know who you are piccola fuoco.” He confesses and I look at him confused, I have no idea what he’s calling me. “I don’t speak Italian, what does that mean?” I ask pulling my hand away from his grip. He chuckles at me “it means little fire. I heard about what you did to the guard and to Jacob. Let's not forget the almost great escape, the names only fitting.” I blush and look away causing him to laugh again. “Don’t be embarrassed fuoco, you should actually be proud. You almost got away from the mafia, I’m impressed you got balls girl.” He raves and I bite my bottom lip, forgetting it still has stitches and is sore. “Thanks but it wasn’t that impressive, I got caught.” I joke and we both laugh this time. He was about to say something but he was interrupted when Miss. Claire comes into the hallway. “Excuse me Mr. Santos but Mr. Parker is requesting Miss. Alexis for lunch.” She tells him but looks in my direction. “It’s fine Claire, I was just saying hi to our new guest.” He informs her walking away. He then stops and turns back around “name’s Giovanni Santos, but you can call me Gio piccola fuoco.” He turns back around and walks away.

Following Claire back up stairs to my new room, I roll my eyes mentally. She pulls out her keys and unlocks the door. “Shower and get ready, lunch will be ready in twenty minutes dear.” She walks out closing the door behind her. I walk over to the bed and see and outfit already picked and laid out for me. It’s a black pencil skirt and a purple floral spaghetti strap shirt with black heels. Great, he’s going to tell me what to wear too. I get annoyed at the thought. With no time to waste I go to the shower and adjust the temperate to my liking. I strip out of the clothes I’ve been wearing for the past five days wanting to burn them. I get in and the water hits my body, causing me to relax instantly. This shower is much needed I think to my self. Just letting the water wash over me I decide it’s time to wash up and get out. I am on a time limit after all. Looking around for soap I spot a bottle of Dove body wash. Man I miss my bathroom, it wasn’t as big or fancy like this one but all my body washes and lotions was there. I wonder if the Devil would be willing to let me get my stuff. Probably not I roll my eyes. I wash up and wash my hair, well the part that wasn’t bandaged. I rinse off and turn the water off before stepping out.

I grab two towel from the shelf, one for my hair and I wrap the other around my body. I walk back into the bedroom and look around for some lotion and deodorant. At the foot of the bed I see a suit case. The closer I get to it I notice it’s mine. The one my dad bought me years ago. I shed a tear thinking about him. Praying that’s he’s been doing okay with out me there. Opening the suitcase I find a couple of my belongings. Socks, panties, bras, some jeans and shirts. In the upper part of the suitcase is my lotions and sprays. I grab my favorite lotion and spray set and a b*a and panty set I lotion up and put on the b*a set. I walk over to the bed and put on the outfit laid outdoor me. I decide to unwrap all the bandages except the one on my wrist. Cleaning up my mess I grab all the clothes and towels and put them in the bin in the bathroom. Finding a comb in the suitcase I comb out my hair gently. I keep it down since my head still has the stitches in. Satisfied with my look I walk back to the bed and put on the heels on. Once they are on I stand up and take a deep breath, and walk towards the door. Closing my eyes too mentally prepare myself for this.”Okay Lexi, you can do this, be brave you are strong.” I open the door and walk out to the rest of my life.
