Chapter 9

No...No....this is not happening, what should I do, How did he find me......

I was panicking, I tried to control myself but I couldn't.

I didn't pick up the call, I just switched off my phone.

Vanessa calm your nerves he can't find you, cool down, I said to myself.

I closed my eyes and took deep breaths, 15 min later, I was feeling okay.

I opened my eyes and relaxed a bit, I glanced at Enzo he was still unbothered.

Looking at him calmed down a bit.

I have this feeling about him that I could not explain its like

His attitude, dominant behavior and that unbearable intimidation whatever it is, drawers me to him. By looking at him you can say he is a kind of a person who can make people kill themselves by just looking at them.

His features are sharp, dark, and mysterious. While I was thinking about him I glanced at his hands which are gripping the steering wheel. His knuckle turned into white and I noticed there were so many tattoos on them. How come I didn't notice them before,

His nerves were popping up and

Tattoos on his fingers speak of trouble, on his left hand's little finger, has a skull and thick arrow with star lines inside and at the corner " blame "was written in beautiful curving writing.

On the other finger, there was a big thick scissor and at the left corner of the finger, there was "hate "written in block letters.

The middle one has feature dripping black dots below it was eye-catching and beautiful, at the left corner of the finger "love" was written in cursive writing

On the other there was nothing on it, it was empty without a single tattoo

On his thumb, there was a cross symbol that was long, thick, and highlighted.

On his right hand, there was a single letter on each finger that spells " fear " it was written beautifully and at the tip of the fingers, there was water drop, king crown, Music, dollar symbols they were beautiful to look at.

And on his right wrist, there was a tattoo started with a single bent feather as I looked up it disappeared in his shirt sleeves.

My curiosity for it has raised a bit I want to see what's under that sleeve.

Then suddenly the car stopped, I looked at my surroundings and noticed we were at "Angelo"

It's an Italian restaurant and very expensive.

I have never been there before only heard that it's very expensive and only rich people come here.

He opened his seat belt and stepped out and I started to open my seatbelt.

Enzo opened my door and offered his hand, I looked at him and he has a stoic face I sighed,

I took his hand and we walked towards the entrance he put his hand on my back and guided me.

He gave keys to a man there and told him to park it,

We walked inside and half of the staff walked us and greeted us.

I can see the fear in their eyes for Enzo, they guided us towards a separate cabin.

when I entered inside and I was mesmerized by it. There was a table and chairs which were very neatly kept and a beautiful painting on the wall was beautiful I can't take my eyes off it.

It has a man hugging his women possessively and a woman was resting her head on his chest it was very beautiful.

"Your older please " came a waitress ogling at Enzo moving her chest up Abit it was disgusting to look at.

Enzo behaved like it was Normal for him, she ignored me completely.

I had never eaten Italian in my life, I was waiting for Enzo to order as he heard me he ordered something I didn't even understand.

I was staring at him wanting to start a conversation but I don't know what to talk With little courage,

"Enzo?"

He looked at me,

"Is everything alright? "

He tilted his head sideways and asked

"Why do you ask? "

"You look upset," I said in low voice.

"Because I'm"

"Can I ask why?"

"I don't want you to talk Niall "

That was blunt

I was a bit shocked.

"Can I ask why?"

"No"

Its kinda rude

"Ok," I said, I don't want him to be angry, it scares the hell out of me.

He was surprised by my answer,

But quickly covered it.

A waitress came inside and started serving us

We silently ate our dinner.

I opened my purse there was cash and was enough for my meal.

A waitress came inside with a bill, I quickly opened my purse to pay,

"Close it,"

I looked at Enzo

"I'll pay," he said with authority in his voice.

"No.no I'll pay,"

"Vanessa, I said I'll pay "

"Enzo, I said I'll pay "

"No, I'll pay "

"No, I 'll pay "

He looked at me and smirked at me

"Do you want me to kiss you, here "

I blushed hard, lowered my gaze, And didn't say anything.

After paying the bill we reached his car.

He opened the car door, I climbed in.

He climbed in and started the engine, He was smiling all this while.

I was annoyed by his smile,

"Stop smiling, Enzo "

I said in an angry tone.

"What's funny?"

"What's funny? "

"You face, it was red like tomato"

He started laughing louder.

"You should not say those things outside," I said shyly

"If it makes you like that I will say a lot more things than that "

My face must be a darker shade of red by now.

He stopped the car I looked at him confused.

He gestured me to look at something with his thick eyebrows.

When I saw it, it was my house.

I turned at him, smiled

"Thank you for dropping me, Enzo, Good night"

"Good night Venessa " he smiled at me

I got out and walked towards my home, I turned around and waved at him.

He waved back.

I opened my main door and entered my house,

locked it again.

I smiled at the events that happened today with Enzo.

I was exhausted, so I took a shower and changed into my Mickey mouse oversized t-shirt and my night shorts.

Feeling exhausted I climbed into my bed and started to sleep.

I was about sleep peacefully but I heard a knock on the door.

I groaned and slowly got up and walked to my door.

I opened it and rubbed my eyes to see clearly who was there.

Smirking at me, he said

"Hello Nessa,"

how did he find me?

Somebody, please save me, please.
