What if I fall in love?

Knowing things around

it's been a month since I started going to school and I haven't seen my brother. I stayed in his house with full security wearing black suit with guns and cameras everywhere. I don't understand this set up but they say it's my safety, I feel like I'm more safe if they are not here. Dominic's mansion has the view of the Sicilian sea, the view of the ocean is always breath taking. I was not fond of the beach but I may change my mind soon.

I don't have friends yet so I stay in library for quiet sometime now my next class will be in two hours. I decided to grab for snacks in the cafeteria. everything's good until I bump into a wall, oh no it's not a wall but a human. who has chest that was hard as bricks. A frown never left my face when I look at him but I still apologize.

My frown turns to surprise when I had a full view of his face. He has deep hazel eyes, thick eyebrows, thin lips, a pointed nose, an exquisite jaw line. His feature is wow and he's a little tan. My brother is handsome but this man is overwhelming gorgeous. I must keep my panties tight before they fall for this man.

"Done staring?" he said with no emotion. I suddenly returns to myself, I don't know how long I was staring at him but it seems I overdo things in my mind for long.

"I'm sorry" I don't know why I apologize but that's what good girls do right? my ears are still red from embarrassment. Then he left without responding.

I lost my appetite and did not go to cafeteria anymore, girls are staring at me with accusing and disgust look but who cares. I don't know why they are giving me those looks and I don't give a damn.

on my way to my class, I met this bimbo looking girl finding her room she ask where B230 was and that's where exactly I'm going. She overdid her makeup with a very short skirt and a white top, I don't know why she chose those clothes this is school not some clubs. I judge people easily and that's my defense mechanism to not be in trouble to this f**k up society. I just simply wore a t shirt and a denim pants, not bad, I think for myself.

"we are going on the same room?" I just nodded to her and smile. "I'm Ellaine" she extend her hands to shake with me.

"I'm Dani" I somehow see sadness in her eyes and she try to hide with here fake thick eylashes and make up. She's sad and somehow I felt sympathy for her.

This class kinda boring it's about history, I already read those books so I got bored when the professor just want us to read it again and make some reflections on it.

"Are you going home?" Ellaine asked me after we go out of the room.

"Yah, I have things to do" I lied.

" I was thinking on inviting you to have coffee somewhere?" ohh she's taking the start up to be friends with me.

"I love to" I was happy inside because someone wants to catch up things with me. I also need to know how to be friends with others.

"Let's go, I know some good coffee shop in the corner" she offered me to ride in her car. The bodyguards are not aware where I went but let them wait, I will just call them after.

We talk a lot of things while sipping on my milked tea and we ordered cinnamon rolls. I'm kinda hungry because I didn't had a chance to go to cafeteria.

Ellaine is not the slut I thought she is, her dresscode is the way she's fighting her sadness from breaking up with her boyfriend. She catched him eating with a blonde girl in a restaurant and after that she broke up with him because the guy never cared about her feelings and did not run to catch and explain things to her.

It's getting when we went out the coffee shop. The coffee shop is just small in a bit hidden in a corner, when we went to her car, I opened my phone I turned it off at class because I don't like distractions.

there are 50 missed calls and hundreds of texts from my brother. I don't know but I got scared my brother will kill me, but I know he won't. I've never seen him angry because he is always away ever since my parents died. he always take care of me when we were children although a little overprotective, oh it's overbearing brother.

I called him despite my worries that he will be so angry. "Bro-"

"Where the f**k are you? Do you know how I worried I was when the guards can't find you?" that's scary voice of him makes the hair on my body stands.

"I...I was out with a friend-" I tried to explain but he cut me off.

I show an apologizing look to Ellaine because I need to go before my brother find me and drag me home, that will be embarrassing and he's a scary man, Ellaine might get afraid and won't be friend with me anymore.

Before I could move away from Ellaine's car, my angry looking brother is storming towards me and might eat me alive any moment.

"What did I told you? Don't leave the guards not knowing where you want to go!!" that's scary tone with concern in his eyes.

"I forgot brother" I show him my puppy eyes, and pouted my lips. I just need to be cute, that's his weakness from me.

Ellaine was standing behind me, I almost forgot. I need to apologize to her.

"I'm sorry that you see this" I told her and somehow I saw something in her face. Anger or sadness. She's looking at my brother.

"It's fine" she gave me an assuring smile.

I hugged my brothers hand and introduce to my new friend. He just nod and left, he told me to follow him...

" I need to go, hope to see you again" I smiled at her and left.

the anger from my brother's eyes is still in its peak. He never smile when I introduce Ellaine to him, he just gave her an up and down look and some sneer left his mouth.

Dominic never talk to me until we reached the house. He slammed the door of his room and didn't went out for dinner. He won't stay angry at me till morning and I need to make it happen by giving him coffee.

"Brother, can I come in?" I knock on his door until he say come in.

The room is filled with smoke, I did not stop coughing until he opened the curtains and the window.

"Don't ever get near to those type of girls" he gave me a warning look.

"Don't ever runaway from your guard if you don't want to leave Italy" I felt sadness in his tone. those two things he said to me, I believe in second one.

" You don't want me here in Italy?" I somehow emotional when I talked. my own brother doesn't want me

"it's not safe here" his words are stern and anytime I might be in Astoria any moment.

"I want to stay here with you, I don't have anyone back at home" he sighed after I say this.

He went to my side and hugged me. This is the first time he hugged me after 8 years since he left home.

"I just don't want you to be in trouble here"

"I will not because I know you are here brother" I gave him my sweetest smile and he return too. This is what I love in him, he never stay angry at me and always makes me feel happy.

It's been days since that gray eyed girl keeps haunting me in my sleep. those innocent smiles tells me to stay away from her because I know I don't deserve her.

If I will not fulfill my feeling I might lose my mind I need to get her and make her stay by my side whether by hook or crook.

I've been observing her until I found out that she is the only sister of my enemy in business, Dominic Collins, The Dragon Mafia, he's invincible and many think of him as king. He feared no one, and he doesn't have weakness until I saw his innocent looking sister Dani Collins.

I might take things slow to destroy the empire that Dominic built. I hold no grudge against him at the beginning but he pushed me when he tried to kill my father for the position in the circle. It drive my father to left the mafia I always wonder why the mafia lord did not fight against that young man instead he let him threaten us and move away. I don't accept defeat because I will take back that position from him and I will start with his sister.
