Its been a few weeks since I kissed angelica, things have been pretty stressful.

Angel started her online classes so shes home 24/7, I was uneasy about leaving her here alone so I decided to work as much as I could from home.

Her fever cleared up after about a weak, it was hard seeing her so week and vulnerable and not being able to comfort her the way I wanted.

Works been rough, had a few shipments come in that we had to deal with and 2 more attacks on our men's private estates with no new information as to why and what Giovanni's plans are.

I know Giovanni well. I know he wants angelica and I know that he wont stop until he gets his hands on her but I refuse to let that happen.

Mateo has been watching angel and I like a hawk, uneasy about us being alone, coming home from work early to make sure nothing is going on, constantly asking Ivan to watch over us when hes working.

Nothing more has happened between angel and i since that kiss, we talk and we hang out together but thats it, neither of us really know what comes next and the topic has been avoided like the plague.

I'm currently in the kitchen cooking dinner, enchiladas one of angelicas favourites when i hear her come in and sit on a bar stool, I dont turn around and she doesnt say anything probably thinking I dont know shes there, I smirk as I continue cooking waiting for her to speak but she doesnt.

I can feel her gaze on me for a solid 5 minutes before I turn around to face her, a big grin on my face as I watch her blush out of embarrassment ''you done staring? ''

Her face goes red and she looks down at her hands making me laugh ''i-i I'm sorry i was just watching you cook'' I lower the heat on the stove and lean against the kitchen counter looking at her ''how are you today bellissima?

School going okay? I haven't seen you much recently'' (beautiful) she looks up at me with a small smile and nods ''its going good, I'm sorry i have a big test coming up so I'm trying to study as much as I can for it''

I'm shocked at first, my body going rigid not realising whats happening but then i relax, easing into the kiss and placing my hand on her waist to stop her falling off the bar stool.

I feel her hand on my chest before it slowly moves down to my lap and i grab it quickly before it can touch my crotch ''angel.

..'' I say warningly trying to tell her not to do this

She breaks away from the kiss fast, her face a bright shade of red and her eyes filled with hurt ''i-i I'm sorry I didn't mean to I-'' the panic in her voice evident.

I stroke her face and place my other hand in hers resting on her lap ''hey, its okay.

Talk to me'' tears fall from her eyes and i wipe them away with her thumb ''i-i didn't mean to I'm sorry, I dont know why I did that'' shes embarrassed and it hurts me, I didn't push her away because i dont want her, i pushed her away because I need to be sure of what she wants

We sit on the couch eating and watching a movie.

I'm laying lengthways on the couch with angelica laying between my legs, my arms wrapped around her waist and my chin resting on her head.

i look down at angel every now and then to see her not touching her food, i thought at first it was too hot so i left it but by now it should be cool enough to eat.

I move my hand to her thigh and squeeze lightly ''eat sweetheart''

She looks down at her untouched plate and shakes her head softly, turning her attention back to the movie. I grab her fork and scoop a small amount onto it before bringing it to her lips but she doesnt open ''c'mon angel you need to eat'' she shakes her head again ''I'm not hungry''
