I don't know Alessio in the slightest, David knows that I am referring to Fabian who continues to torture my head. Day by day I get over him more because he makes it clear to me that he is a graceless bastard who should pay for all the psychological damage he does to people. It's what it does to the last few girlfriends and I know it because they've looked to me trying to find comfort.
I can't speak if I haven't resolved my issues either.
When we get to the house I only ask Gin to give him the tour and I tell the brothers to give me a second so I can talk to Salvatore first, they agree and the escorts divide up.
I arrive at the library where I intuitively feel it will be, the door is ajar and I decide to enter without further ado, raiding the place. I close it and move forward confidently to face him, he is admiring the window with his arms crossed.
—Were you trying to escape with the help of your ex?
"No," I frown. I was very good, it was an incredible day.
-Really?
I nod, I stay centimeters away from him watching him admire the ribbon that is still on his ponytail.
—Did you let me kiss you?
"If your brothers inform you of everything in a second you should know that they didn't do it," I emphasize. Your distrust doesn't worry me. I didn't leave him and I... I really had a great time, he said things and that's it. They shouldn't affect me.
He turns a little so he can really face me, leaning his back against the window.
—Trixi is my student and she drew a drawing for your brothers, it was very nice. —I smile, not caring if he cares—. Fabian really wants to hurt me, for a moment I thought that you took away all my happiness in these four days and by agreeing to stay I still believe that you are going to take it away from me, but Fabian has a certain power in me that I don't like and I want to end it. that.
—I'm listening, you have my attention.
Well, that's new and somehow it makes me feel a thread to pull on to be able to make another move.
—I want to put an end to that, if I'm going to live here locked up without being able to do anything, I want to put an end to my enemy in the head and to my bad luck it's still him—his jaw tenses—. That's why I think I can learn from these things, I want to defend myself, I want to get something that represents me in this house.
—Do you have an idea yet?
—No, I think it would be a process to find me while I'm in this house doing nothing. That's why I could learn something from this and that, know exactly what Rinaldi did to reach this point with you, know how to defend myself not only with fists, but also with words if I ever encountered the enemy.
For a moment he remains silent, exhales, brings his fingers to his chin so he can hold it and analyze the situation. This time there is no double side in this decision, it is just me trying to get rid of all those opinions that I know do not represent me and that at the same time affect me because I cannot get them out of my head when I am not strong, stable and centered.
—You can go to work and continue as a teacher at that school, my brothers will sometimes rotate to be with you and the strongest Marino escort will be assigned to you.
-It's yours?
—Yes, the Marino force escort is only for the brothers, the most important ones, but that doesn't matter to me now —he puts his hands in his pockets—. It will be yours and we will have the entire perimeter in our favor. Which means that I'm going to have to talk to the director to get Fabian's sister's girl out, I'm not going to let her get close and that's all you'll have from me," he asserts. Control. That's me when it comes to danger and lives at risk, understand?
-No problem.
He tries to read me and is shocked by the truth, the absolute trust and the simple communication that I give him to reach an agreement.
—You and I will be settling in along with my brothers. If you want to learn about all this, it should be with me because I have everything that may interest you— I nod, certain of my decision. This means that you must make me trust because I am giving in to several things because that is what you are asking of me so that you don't think you are in a damn cage. Or maybe yes, it will just be different.
—You can trust if I can trust you.
—It's okay Emily, just as I give, I take away.
His eyes wait for a movement, I don't do it because I wait for him to do it himself. Inside me I want him to do something that is new, that determines the end and beginning of a new friendship or alliance between the two of us. His eyes fall on my lips, I smile for him and he looks away a few centimeters to my eyes.
I wait, and the impulsive Emily within me speaks for myself as I bring my deft fingers to my ponytail. I take out the ribbon that decorated my hair, I take his hand and at first he makes it hard until I pull hard. I turn the ribbon three times and leave the rest in my palm.
"You have rituals, I know because they talk about it when a new member of the mafia comes to you, although I don't know what they are like," I admit. This is... my rite of trust.
—Give me your ribbon?
