First time posting on here please leave comments. lemme kno what u think thanks guys.
Intro...
"You have one choice here and one chance! Choose wisely." He said with an eerie and scary voice.
I was broken everything told me to walk away but if I did I would rip away a piece of my heart and the danger was worth saving that part of me......
Chapter One : The Accidental Meeting
I was sitting in the dusty old library of the small town in Italy I was staying. It was quaint. I had a huge argument with my ex-boyfriend/used to be fiance over his choice to cheat on me and decided a change of scenery was a good thing. Luckily I had a huge savings due to some unfortunate circumstances but still I had savings. I always thought he was the one. He had been there through the death of my parents and I loved him.
Since I arrived in Italy I felt more at home like someone wanted me here. I was really into reading one of my favorite vampire books standing between the old wooden book cases when he startled me by clearing his throat.
" So you like vampires?" He asked with a voice so smooth with his Italian accent it caught me off guard my back slamming into the book shelf behind me.
"Uh, I ..um ....I like to read stories about them...I guess.... You .....you shouldn't sneak up on people like that you could give em a heart attack." I said shakily I looked the stranger up and down and my eyes liked what they saw.
He was tall and tanned with dark hair green eyes and dimples his smile had me melting.
"Quello è il minimo delle vostre preoccupazioni il mio dolce."
"What do you mean by that sir?"
"Ah... I see you speak Italian um well I mean to say that if you involve yourself with me as I am what you called a stranger you don't know what..... uh I could do but I can assure you heart attack is least likely your fate. " He winked and gestured for me to follow him.
"Why? I don't know you...and ...well I don't know that I want to and you said called you a stranger I never called you a stranger I...."
"I figured you were uh thinking it most people do you know."
"I have family that will look for me if I go missing so you better not be trying to lure me to some dark corner to kill me."
"Hmmm...Tempting but no.... by the way may I have your name?" He continued walking toward the back of the library stopping in front of a door that said employees only in English and Italian.
"Um I dunno how your reading skills are but that says...."
" I know what it says I am owner and keeper of this library and behind this door is my own collection of books that mean something to me. My name is Angelo Christiano but you may call me Angel. What may I call you?"
"Oh um Il mio nome è Jenai." I said with a slight blush. I saw something flash in his eyes. He turned to the door putting a key in.
" I see that is what you say um beautiful. Follow me Jenai."
I knew I shouldn't but something in his voice was luring and tugged me after him.
"Wow ." I said in awe I could not have imagined a room like what was before me could reside in such a dusty facility..
Chapter Two Begging
I sat in my hotel room looking off the balcony into the distant busy Italian city falling into a daze remembering his luring green eyes he had given me his number and asked me to visit again said it would be his pleasure to see me once again and an honor to escort me to dinner. I wondered if all Italian men were so proper and well spoken or if it was just him.
My phone rang and I answered it was Tyleya my best friend she was going to be meeting me in Japan in about a two weeks and we were finalizing our plans,when my other line beeped it was Ryan my ex fiance/boyfriend what ever .
" Yes. what do you want?"
" Nai baby please look I know you took this trip to distance yourself from me but I love you. I need you. Please Nai please baby give me a chance to make it up to you let me come to Italy and-"
"Ry let me stop you right there. Look I am not mad any more I really don't hate you...I love you too -"
"But right? There is a but.... in your conclusion of the conversation you are only ending things with us because you are scared that you might really love me Nai ok I know that I hurt you that girl meant nothing to me ok it was a mistake I was drunk. You are everything to me I am coming there and you can't turn me a way I am going to fight for us I know that we should be together everything in my heart says so I am begging I will get on my knees. "
Silence lingered as I thought on my next response.
"You cut me off before I could finish I was gonna say I love you too and I miss you and even though it is gonna take some hard work and dedication I am willing to give you one last chance come here to Italy and do your best. Good night Ry , I need to catch some sleep love."
"Night Nai love you."
I closed my eyes I knew Ryan would be there in a couple of days and that was all I had to get to know my handsome mysterious "stranger "as Angel had put it. I wondered what it would be like to give this man what I saw in his eyes he wanted.Whenever our eyes locked it was like I could feel his thoughts and I saw lust.
Ryan was the one I loved but this man posed an opportunity a chance to learn who I really was and what I really wanted in life a change. This man that had a strange draw with me.
Chapter Three The Dream
I was in a Victorian gown that was red with a black lace overlay and a corseted top. He was in an old fashioned tuxedo his eyes peered through me he licked his lips walking slowly toward me.
"May I? He asked seductively.
I looked around shyly saw there was no one to catch us it looked to be his library it was luxurious like the one I had seen in the back of the library he owned. There were books of all sizes and genres. Before I could catch my breath at it's beauty his quick movements distracted me and I was in his arms it was a warm electric grip that made me gasp.
