Bullet in the Heart (Chapter 2)

I take the way Elena walks in front of me. She is a vision. Her hips sway with every step she makes.

An angel. Ain’t I lucky to have an angelic view?

The silence is very loud, though the only thing that matters to me is the view

First time seeing her and I’m falling already? though I don’t mind. She needs to be mine soon. That’s why I came to see her, right?

My thoughts are interrupted as she turns around.

Angel.

Her eyes are like leaves. Bright and stunning. Her hair falls down her shoulders like a waterfall, dark silky hair. The color of coal. Makes me want to think that perhaps having coal isn’t a bad gift for Christmas. As long as I get to see it everyday.

Then she speaks, that soft voice that could easily make me sleep.

“Well, will you like to start with the garden?,” she says.

“Whatever you like my lady, after all, you’re giving me the tour~” I respond with a hint of flirtiness.

Gosh, I can’t help it .

¨ Of course, why did I bother even asking ¨ she says annoyed, turning back around to give me the view I enjoy.

“Perhaps because you just want to hear my voice, Angel”

She turns back around, annoyed.

“That’s not funny”

“I wasn’t trying to be funny, Angel” I say with a smirk

she stays quiet for a second and then speaks, “Well, to let you know, because you seem stupid to not know, my name is Elena not-”

“ I like to give my ladies a nickname,gorgeous, I’m not good at listener, you known?~”

“Well,whatever I don’t have the patience to listen to you, be quiet and keep walking” she turns back around

“I’m not a good listener,remember? so I have the feeling I won’t be quiet” I say as quickly as she’s done with her sentence.

“Try your best, you don’t need to make a comment for …everything “ she says irritated

Oh my darling, you sure are funny.

“Noted, angel, I’ll zip my pretty mouth~”

We walk for a few more seconds until I can finally see the garden through the glass doors of the backyard.

I don’t waste a second before hurrying ahead of her and opening the glass doors

I offer her a small smirk though she gives me a glare.

“You welcome, angel”

“Thank you very much ,though, that was my job, guest”

“Gotta be the gentlemen for my pretty princess” I respond

“Seriously what is up with you and nicknames? How many nicknames can you even come up with? you know what? never mind, forget it, you probably have a whole list.”

I smirk, “Only for my angel~¨

As she goes outside, I follow behind. The garden is breathtaking, it takes every breath of your lungs out. The rows of flowers are gorgeous, very much. The garden is full of trees, with beehives on the branches. It smells very much like heaven. The grass is bright and soft.

Whoever takes care of this garden is for sure a professional.

Then she speaks.

“Well, there is not much to look at, so tell me when we can move on, Ezra”

I look at her back since she isn’t facing me exactly, “Of course, angel, I’m very much enjoying my view~”

She faces me fully with a smile, a forced smile.

“It’s truly beautiful isn’t it?”

“That isn’t the view I was talking about-”

she cuts off quickly, “You weren’t talking about the garden..? then what were you looki-”

she stares at me, closely, and I offer a smirk before signaling my eyes to her back. That is what made her realize.

“HOW DARE YOU LOOK AT MY BEHI-”

“Now,angel, don’t get mad at me, it was a pretty view, I have to give you that”

She looks me up and down with a very, very furious look

“You’re such a pain in my head, why the hell are you even here?!”

I say, “Our parents have business to talk about, angel ”I look back at the glass doors trying to catch a view of the living room where my father and her parents are talking.

“And you actually think they are talking about business?”

Clearly not, I’m not that glupyy, being stupid is surely not in my dictionary.

“Well clearly I’m not easy to get fooled, angel, so no, I don’t think they’re talking about business”

I see a hint of a smile in her lips.

God, now I’m staring at her lips?

“I’m very glad that I wasn’t the only one, Lorraine.”

My last name on her lips is addicting, I could get used to this.

I step closer, and closer until I’m right in front of her.

“Gorgeous, my name on your lips is flaring my desire”

The hint of pink spreading on her face flares my desire even more

“Sorry to break it to you but I won’t call you by your last name again, Ezra”

Oh my sweet little liar.

“Sure,angel, whatever you say~”

With that she leads the way back inside the house, and I, being a polite person, follow behind.

After Elena finishes the house tour I follow her back to the living room, where parents are waiting.

“Oh Elena just in time”, Mr. Rossi says

“Indeed they’re in time” My father says, and continues, “This was a gladly visit, come on, Ezra, we have to go, and I’ll come back so we can start planning, Beatrice and Mattia.”

“Oh yes, we can start planning another day” Mr. Rossi says while he and his wife led my father out the main doors.

The door closes, leaving me and Elena alone.

“Well, Angel, it was such an honor to finally meet you, thank you for the tour and…..the view”, I wink and keep my smirk on display.

“Of course you enjoyed the view, you piece of trash, well my pleasure was mine”

I can tell her words are anything but grateful, that makes my smirk wide.

“Oh angel I’m not a piece of tra-”

“LEAVE BEFORE I THROW A KNIFE AT YOUR PRETTY SMIRK”, she threatens.

Adorable, they sound very adorable

But I’m smart enough to not obey her words.

“Alright my angel, I’m leaving, don’t miss me to much, gorgeous”

With a final wink, I turn my back toward her and head to the door, closing the door once I’m outside.
