Chapter Fourteen

Adrianno woke up with Angela in his arms. She was sleeping soundly, her arms straight by her side. She was facing him and so Adrianno took in every detail of her pretty face. He brushed her hair off of her face gently, as to not wake up her. He looked at her and realised her shirt had ridden up, exposing her stomach, his hand was on her bare back and he felt like he could burn a hole through it with his hands, so quickly removed it and pulled her shirt down. Why the hell did he pull her into bed last night?

He needed to get up for work. He was probably late already. He could tell by the way he didn't feel as tired as usual, which meant he had gotten more sleep. He got up out of bed quietly, which caused her to stir a little and turn over onto her back, but not wakeup. Adrianno left her in the room alone to take a shower in his bathroom.

He was trying to collect all the memories of last night and as to why she was in bed with him this morning as the warm water fell down his body. He remembered pulling her down and holding her and couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed. Never once had a woman stayed in his bed with him, they both hadn't even done anything and she had slept there the whole night. Adrianno panicked slightly at the thought and wondered, what the hell was he doing? Taking her and keeping her here until he knew he could trust her was one thing, but going out for dinner, hugging and sharing the night in bed with each other as another.

And just then, Adamo's words had echoed in his thoughts.I'd keep my eye on that pretty little thing if I were you Adrianno, we wouldn't want anything happening to Angela now would we? It was clear to Adrianno that this had gone too far, he would send Angela home tomorrow, and keep an eye on her for a few days when she returned back to where she belonged, just in case Adamo's men had followed her. She was getting too tied up in his business without even doing anything; it wasn't safe for her to be here or anywhere near Adrianno, right now or ever. He'd tell her tonight, so she could pack up whatever she had and go tomorrow morning.

Adrianno wondered if she would be safe here in the apartment on her own until tonight when he returned. He would need to get one or two more guards even just for today while he was out, he had decided, stepping out of the shower now. He wrapped a towel around himself and left the bathroom to find something to wear.

Angela had been rubbing the sleep from her eyes and done a double take of Adrianno, wearing nothing but a towel. His chest was bare of clothing but full of tattoos. She had seen him like this before, only once, but still couldn't help but stare a little longer. Once she realised she had been checking him out, her face began to redden and she pushed the covers back.

"Morning Angela." He said, not even batting an eye. He walked over to the wardrobe near her side of the bed and turned his back to her. What was she supposed to say? God this is so awkward, she thought. She must have fallen asleep last night before she could get free of Adrianno. She really had planned on going to sleep in her own bed last night.

"Er, morning." She mumbled awkwardly as she got up and began to gingerly walk towards the door.

"C'mon Angela, there's no need to be shy now." He said with his back to her and finally turned around. She froze mid-step and looked over at him.

"I-I'm not." She lied.

"It's not like we fucked or anything." He stated bluntly, holding up two suits and examining them. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

"Um, okay." She said before leaving and cursing herself for being so well, stupid she thought. She was surprised by his directness but said nothing about it when he came out into the kitchen and grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl.

"Don't make dinner tonight." He said nonchalantly as she poured herself some coffee.

"Why not?" she asked, still avoiding eye contact with him.
