Tales Of The Heart

It's always the same routine every day, but the thing is I'm getting ready for bed and something just feels off.

Something has felt off all day and I don't know what. Since I could not put my finger on it, I just brush it off as nothing and finish putting on my nightclothes which consisted of black leggings and a light grey tank top.

Since it was only 8:32 P.M. I decided I was going to get my phone out so that I could read a book on Wattpad. Before I start reading I turn my alarm on and get up and then turn my light off so that when I am done reading I can just go to bed.

I got back into bed and decided to read a book about this girl being sold to the most dangerous Mafia leader in the country because her parents wanted money so they could buy more alcohol and maybe even a bigger house, along with get out of debt. I had finally decided to go to bed around 11:47 P.M. If I'm being honest I just tossed and turned for a while because I could not sleep.

I should be used to it by now because I have been having sleeping problems a lot lately but I guess even if I have to deal with it all the time it does not make me used to it. Finally, at around 1:10 A.M. I started dozing off but even over my little brother's music, I had heard the floor make a sound telling me that someone was either up or upstairs.

I decided to just brush it off thinking that my little brother was up and had gone downstairs. Oh boy, how wrong I was. While I was looking at my door out of nowhere I had seen a male figure walk into my room which made me sit up and start to grab my phone.

The male had started to walk around my bed and toward the edge where I was, but it had only made me push myself into the corner out of fear. Not the fear of my death or what he might do to me but of the fear that I may leave this world without saying goodbye to my friends and my babies which are my animals that are like my kids.

I love my baby's so very much. The male had sat on the edge of my bed and had reached his hand out towards me. "Don't touch me !" I had raised my voice a little. " I'm not gonna hurt you amore.... so what's your name and don't even think about lying to me" (Love). His voice was harsh but also gentle. "My name is Lisa, what's yours?" He looked at me and took a deep breath.

As if he needed to prepare himself for my reaction. "Amore, my name is Luke Kingston" (Love). Just the sound of his name can send a shiver through my body. Imagine what his actions can do. His voice was so powerful even if he was whispering you could hear the authority in it.

To be honest Luke is hot and I have not even seen him that much since it is dark in my room. "How old are you and why are you here and what you do want with me?" I was a little confident with my three-in-one question but that is a good thing, can't have a stranger think I'm weak if I stutter.

"Well, amore if you must know I'm 19 and I'm here for reasons I will explain in the near future as well as what I want with you" (Love). He was so strong and confident with his answer it made me a little scared to trust him.

Also, the fact that I don't know him is why I should not trust him either. I think I'm just not gonna trust him for a little bit longer, he needs to be able to prove to me that I can trust him. Luke slowly reached his hand towards me to touch me but I backed up even more into the corner and said "Don't touch me!" I knew that if he touched me, my mind would not be clear. "Amore I'm not gonna hurt you, please just let me touch you. You have no reason to be scared of me."

I felt in my heart that what he said was true but I could not relinquish my clear mind for a foggy one that for sure would not be able to think clearly. We just ended up sitting there for a while listening to each other's breathing and eventually time had gone by and I had grown tired and was dozing off in the corner. I guess Luke had thought that I was out of it because he had tried to touch me again but before he could touch me I had whispered "Please don't ".

After that was said I heard his breathing increase. He looked like he was angry, but I don't understand why. His next words were all it took for me to know why. They were also kind of a surprise to me because not only did he say " I'm allowed to touch what is mine I have tried to be fucking patience with you but you are driving me fucking crazy.

You are mine and only mine no one can have you but me" But he had yelled it. Before anything else could be said. There were footsteps on the stairs which had caused him to grab me and put me behind him for my protection and pull his gun out. Before I saw who it was I had already known it was my mom's boyfriend.

When he walked into my doorway he not only saw Luke with his gun but he also saw Luke standing in front of me protectively ready to protect me from anything dangerous. My mom's boyfriend looked like he was getting angrier by the minute. Luke had reached behind himself and had held his hand out for mine.

I knew I was going to go with him willingly or unwillingly so just to make my life easier I had to put some faith in him and put my hand in his. As I did so I had felt him relax, probably knowing I was willingly doing it. Luke had tried to push past Charlie my mom's boyfriend but in the end, Charlie had pushed Luke back and said "Don't fucking move.

The only way you are leaving is without her and with handcuffs on." When Charlie pushed Luke I stumbled back a few steps but Luke had tightened his hold on my hand and made sure I was still standing. As Luke tightened his hold on my hand he said, "merda" (shit).

It seemed to make Luke mad with the fact that I could have fallen and gotten hurt. Which in seconds just made Luke angrier. When Charlie had told Luke that he could not leave with me scared me a little but it seemed to not have fazed Luke at all because all he did was chuckle as he knew otherwise.

There was a loud bang, a gunshot and along with that a this telling me that a body has just got the floor, it was not just anybody it was Charlie's. Not even two minutes ago I did not want Luke to touch me but now all I crave is his touch like it's the air I need to breathe.

In this situation, any other person would have still been in a dark place but not me because to me it was all of my darkness fading away into the light. All my darkness is fading away because I now know I have someone that loves me and that I know would do anything for me whether it be murder for my protection or simply buy me some chocolate to make me happy.
