She's in love with Death

Chapter 12

Zara p.o.v

It’s been months now and me and Ziano have been getting closer and closer, I also didn’t tell him that I think someone if following me. It all started a few months ago when Ziano ask me to accompany him to a business event. I think Mr Black is following me because everything I think I saw him he will be gone like he was never there. I wanted to tell Ziano but I didn’t want him to worry for nothing and I also think it’s my mind playing tricks on me because off all the stress because the Prom is not far away and graduation also exam started soon so I just think it’s the stress. I saw Mr Black on several occasions, I can’t shake the feeling off that he is following me but why is that guess can’t have break my head maybe I should ust ask him but won’t that make him suspicions or something ow well lets just leave it might be nothing and just my imagination. Enough about my paranoia, I’m on my way to Ziano’s penthouse. My parents on some business trip and I didn’t feel like staying alone at home because paranoia so now I’m on my way to Ziano. I also had to dress nice  because apparently we are going out for dinner so if you may wonder what I have on: i have a red cocktail dress with black high heel, a bit of eyeliner, mascara, nude lip-gloss and eye shadow. I pull up at the hotel Ziano’s penthouse is located. I stop the car at the entrance of the hotel. I turn the engine off and text Ziano that I’m outside, he text back saying that his on his way. I waited a while then decided to get out. I got out of the car and went around to get my overnight bag. I open my back door when I feel hands around my waist as the voice that I recognize whisper ‘uhm it’s so lovely to see you moonpie’ as he kissing my neck, I turn around to face him. I put my arms around his waist as he put his one hand around my waist with his other hand on my head give me a possessive hug like he has not going to let me go ,he place a kiss on top of my head. He let me go and look me from head to toe as he said ‘wow my future look amazing’. I couldn’t help but blush at his compliment me, ‘well handsome you don’t look bad yourself’ I compliment him back. He opens the back door and took out my overnight bag, he snake his arm around my waist as he tells the one of the guys to park my car. We made our way up to his penthouse. We got into the elevator as we wait for the elevator door to open. He pull me close and kiss my cheek while saying ‘you look so beautiful’, I’m probably red like a tomato with all the compliments he gives me. The elevator door open and we made our way to his door as he unlock it and let me go inside first ‘what I gentlemen’ I murmured as he chuckle. I go down the hallway that leads inside, I saw an interesting painting of the grim reaper with a woman i look at him and ask’ who is that ‘. He look at me ‘its m mother’ he answered’ why would you let the artist paint your mom with the grim reaper’ I ask. ‘Well that question you have to ask my father’ he answered, I smile back at him ‘maybe I will one day’ I told him. I continue too look at the paintings as a big picture caught my eye, I got closer to have a better look. I look at the girl, she was smiling with a pack of gummy bears in her hand, she look so care free then realization caught me the girl is actually me. I look back at him to ask why he would have a picture of me in his house. He smirk at me as he say ‘well what I say, I couldn’t help but put my future on my wall for everyone to see also I put it on recently 3 days ago to be exactly’. I blush at his explanation as I respond ‘ well you can say thank you I like you enough to think is cute but you do know its hella creepy’ I say crossing my arms. ‘Well then what can I do the girl is to beautiful not to be admired every day and they can say I’m creepy but that’s my future that’ he answered as he walk close and leave a kiss on the side of my head. I walk further down the hallway with him behind me, we reach the end. The lights went on, I must say his penthouse looks magnificent; the living room with the oversize windows looks breath-taking as the city lights shine through the window. The couches was put around a flat scream television that was on a wall at the one side with an fire place on other side, kitchen across the room and dining area not far. ‘Oh My Goth this looks mind-blowing’ I murmured as, Ziano chuckle as he comes closer and whisper ‘isn’t it breath-taking moonpie’ as he kiss the side of my head. I nod my head at him, ‘well moonpie if you like this area you will like the other rooms, now let me give you a tour’ he respond. He takes my hand and led us up the stairs, he showed me the poolroom, bar area where he normally holds parties with close friends and families, game room, wine room, a small library, his room, the balcony that face the city, bathroom and last the guest-room where I will be sleeping for the night. I got in I couldn’t help but smile it was beautiful, the room has a walk-in closet and its own bathroom even if there is a bathroom across the hall. Ziano place the bag on the bed as he comes closer while putting his arms around my waist and whisper ‘do you like the room’. I smile and turn around ‘well Mr Death it’s beautiful’ I said while placing a kiss on his lips he return the kiss, It was soft, gentle and passionate. He pulls away ‘I would love to continue this but we have dinner reservation so Ms Quinn if you do me the honour’ he said flirtatious while giving his arm for me as I put my arm in his as I say ‘well Mr death the pleasure is all mine’ with red cheeks. We made our way out of door and down to the restaurant. We got inside the restaurant door as the receptionist Mr Death your table is this way, he lead us to a V.I.P table. The V.I.P section looks romantically done and couldn’t help but bush, Ziano took the seat out for me to sit and push it back he then took the seat opposite me. The waiter came with a bottle champion and pour us some when he was done Ziano dismiss him with a wave of his hand. We talk for a while, then he excuse himself to bathroom as I waited for him, a guy came and took the seat opposite me. The guy has long hair into a ponytail, brought shoulders, a bit muscular, handsome but not as handsome as Ziano, 6’8 tall, has an arrogant look on him, brown eyes, caramel complexion, sharp nose, light pink lips. ‘Sir Can I help you’ I ask him, ‘well yes your very pretty and that body of yours is very attractive’ he said sounding a bit drunk.  ‘sir if you don’t mind can you please go’ I said he reach in to touch me but before he could someone pull him out of the chair as he fall to the ground next moment I saw Ziano on the guy as he beat the guy. ‘Ziano stop’ I scream tears falling down my eyes, when he hear my tone he stop immediately; he then stood up as he made his way to me. ‘Don’t you ever try to touch my girl’ he scream at the guy furiously, he then hug me as he said ‘is okay your safe know come lets go up to the penthouse’. We then made our way to his penthouse as my stomach started to rumble, he just chuckle and said ‘well aren’t someone hungry, come let me feet you before you decide to eat me’ I giggle at his statement. ‘Can I have some gummy bears while I wait’ I ask him as me made our way to the kitchen and went and sit on the counter.
