First meet, First Kiss?

When we arrived at the mall, people immediately looked at us.  Others met me and took pictures.  Others wonder who I am.

"Let's split up first Cassidy, I'll just go to the parking lot for a while I forgot something,"  I said to Cassidy. 

As I was walking in the parking lot my phone rang.  Hiro is calling!  I answered the call but I heard no one speaking.  I was about to speak when someone suddenly blew a horn in front of me.

"BEEEEEEEEP!"

I take a bad look at the car and go in with the driver.  I hit it hard but he still wouldn't open it.  Fuck!  his courage not to open the window for me.

Because I was annoyed I took my 5 inch heels and hit his car window again.  This time he got out of the car.

"Look what you did miss. You broke my car window,"  his voice was full of disgust and he arched his brows.  I looked in the mirror and saw that it was broken.

"It's your fault. Are you planning to kill me? You're not looking where you're going. Also, it's not my fault if your car is fake and easily damaged!"  I shouted in front of him.  I can't control my annoyance.  I’m feeling he’s the most annoying person in the world other than Cassidy.

He immediately pulled a dagger out of his pocket and aimed it at my neck.  Oh sorry I'm used to being targeted by any knife.

"Aren't you afraid of this?"  after he said, he immediately touched my wrist and when he noticed the crest on it I immediately let go of my hand. I just arched my brow.

He can't see the tattoo crest on my wrist. Because this is a sign that I am an heir and he can't know because he might be one of our opponents.

I will not allow him to be the only one to focus the knife.  I immediately took the dagger from him in quick manner and motion.  He was surprised at what I did because it had already been reversed.  The dagger is pointed now on him.

I saw the smirk on his lips mixed with annoyance.

"Who are you?! You look familiar," I asked him angrily. I think differently about him. There seems to be something wrong with him.

"You wanna know me? I'm Trouble and Death."  then my hairs stood on end.  I don't know but I just left.  I heard him laugh out loud as I walked away.

But I saw in his tag that "Giovanni". His name is Giovanni.

"Celeste! Where have you been ?! I've been disgusted with your bodyguards one after another!"  Cassidy shouted annoyed so many looked in our direction.

Cassidy suddenly pulled me in and whispered something to me.

"Celeste I have an idea. Let's buy some clothes in the store then let's watch some movies. I mean let's act like we want to watch movies but all we have to do is go to the cinema to get dressed and we come out wearing different clothes so we don't  to be followed by bodyguards,"  With this idea of ​​Cassidy's I think we will be damned but since I also don't like bodyguards I immediately agreed with her decision.

After we bought the clothes we immediately took a ticket and told the bodyguards to just watch the movie.  When we entered we immediately changed our clothes and left.  We saw three bodyguards looking around.  So Cassidy and I immediately run away.

We went straight to a food stall because we hadn’t had dinner yet.  Cassidy and I just got along.  I can say that she is also resourceful.

After dinner we decided leave. It was also a bit dark around when we decided to go home.  But I felt as if something was wrong when at every crossroads there are mens looking at us.  This is the road that the car took earlier so we are comfortable that there will be no problem.  But our situation now seems to be closer to the more plausible part of Cassidy's planned reasoning.

I felt the trouble when a group led by a man with many piercings and tattoos walked up to meet us. Cassidy grabbed my arm and we stopped.  I looked the way back but three men were also approaching in our direction.  I turned my attention to the more dangerous group up front.  One of his body tattoos I recognized as we approached the distance and they stopped.

"Why are you in our territory?"  His voice was full of malice and danger.  Cassidy's grip tightened on me and hid behind me.  I felt tension but I didn’t show it.  If I reveal my fear that is matched by the feelings of my two companions, then we’re screwed up.  The truth is, we're dead.  It will just get worse if all of us will be eaten by our fears.

"We were just passing home. We didn't know anyone owned this place," I calmly reply.  I would have intended to apply sarcasm to what I said but I immediately realized that that would not help our situation today.  One of the members of that group spoke.  "Are you new here? You might want to play with us."  And it grinned at Cassidy. I glanced again at the tattoo on the neck of their acting leader.

"What game?"  My skepticism and fear could not even pierce my voice.  Cassidy looked around for our possible escape.  "You're beautiful. And I've never seen a woman as brave as you. It's a pity if we just break your arrogance. If you want, just give us your friend and you can leave," said Tattooed Man. Cassidy seemed to have lost blood on her face and she was obviously terrified of what might happen. I can also see the fear and annoyance in Cassidy’s eyes.

"What's your decision? We're starving," the man full of tattoos asked and looked at Cassidy.  I smiled at them.  When Cassidy saw my devilish smirk, her reactions seemed hopeless.

Cassidy still can't fight because she hasn't had any training yet. And me? all the hardships I went through. I trained for a year and now I can knock them out in just one snap. But it was difficult because they were too many and they still had weapons.

"Cold, heartless bitch. I really want you. You're free," replied the seemingly leader of the group.  But just as he was about to touch Cassidy, I violently shook his arm.  "I'm not a generous person either so you can't touch my sister,"  I lost my grin and looked at them with my devilish look.

The man frowned.  "Fuck! What do you want to happen?!"  he ask angrily. I glanced again at his tattoo on the neck and bravely met his gaze.  I pointed to the tattoo.  "Delcour Mafia crest. You were responsible for Apollo schivan's death,"  Everyone was shocked again.  Their seeming leader also recovered immediately.

"That skinny boy? That's right to him. How did you know that thing?"  The man asked.  "Let us go or I'll tell the police everything," I know it’s a gamble I’m doing but at these times. I see no other way for us to survive this situation.  I accept that everyone will die- even Cassidy. Don't let me be the reason.  And one more thing, even though she’s my half sister, Dad said I was her friend.  Tss!  Is this what I don't like about those friendly friends.

Their leader just laughed.  "Do you think the Delcour are afraid of the law?"  My miscalculation immediately registered with me and I knew we were no longer safe.  But I'm not in the habit of giving up that easily.  I grabbed Cassidy by the arm and pulled her running back.  I used the shock of the group to get away.  When we got close to the three gangsters blocking I immediately told my plan to Cassidy. "Just run! Don't stop! Get away from here or I'll kill you by myself!"  I kicked the first man near us with great force in the private part.

Just run.  Don't stop.  What kind of plan did I have in mind? 

"No, Celeste! I can't just leave you here!"  Cassidy said still continuing to cry.  I unleashed a hard punch on another man's jaw. "Damn! Just run!"  I shout at her.  I don’t know how long I can hold back these gangsters before they catch up especially and the others are already running in our direction.  Fortunately Cassidy immediately understood everything and she run away.

I didn't think that these mens are also strong and know how to fight.  I underestimate them too much.

"Trying to be a hero huh?!" Their leader said while laughing.

"Stupid! I'm not being brave! I've only been running for so long! Fuck!" I shouted at his close face.  He was obviously angry because Cassidy were able to escape.  I got a slap.  "You want to experience Schivan's fate? In that case, I won't prolong that any longer," He pulled out a gun and pointed it at my senses.  I closed my eyes and flashbacked all the events in my life.  I've never been a good girl.  Now, I wonder, did I really enjoy this life?

"Are you praying? That's right because you're at the end."  I heard the case of the gun.  Maybe this is where I'm supposed to end.  For sure, Cassidy will suffer in the way of interrogation by Dad, Mom, and Mrs. Cassandra.  Jet Black was right.  Man always think about his past before he dies, as if he were frantically searching for proof that he truly lived.  In my case, I don't know if I really lived.  And now, I'll die.  I was not even given a chance to inform.

Another gun I heard.  What? Am I that hard to kill and need two bullets to go into my head?  "Let her go or I'll blow your skull, Sky," said a voice I will never forget. Is he here? Did he save me? That voice that I knew belonged to the devil has become a miracle for me. I opened my eyes and there he was. With all his dark and dangerous look, full of power and he was standing behind the man full of tattoos while holding a gun pointed at it.

"Master Delcour!"  Exclaimed the so-called Sky and slowly lowered his gun. Gio immediately approached me and caught me by the waist when those holding my arm released me.  I saw Gio's anger register on his face when he noticed the blood on my lip.  "Fuck you, Sky! You hit her! I'll kill holding my girl!"  Gio shouted furiously and again aimed the gun at what he called Sky. It's really scary to get angry with the demon.  Even I can’t understand all of what makes him angry. Sky just nodded as if waiting for his end.

I was surprised when he suddenly called me "my girl". Like huh? my girl your face! but this is not the time for me to shout at him because he saved my life.

"Idiot! Put that down!" And I pulled his arm holding the gun.  Sky and the other gangsters looked at me.  What?!  Do I have a secret shocking code to say?  Gio lowered the gun.  "Let's go,"  And he helps me walk away.  I immediately picked up the shopping bag I had dropped earlier while messing around.  Sky blocked our way.

"She knows something about the Mafia. And about Schivan. We need to silence her. We need to present her to Ivan,"  Gio picked up the gun again and pointed it at Sky's face.  The man quietly walked away in front of us and we continued walking towards a black Lamborghini Murcielago.  Wow.  He seems to have a collection of dream cars.

He took me home and I thanked him.  I can't face him now because he saved my life.  But wait? How does he know those men?  Was he one of those who killed Apollo?  I wanted to ask him but he might point a gun at me so I'll just keep quiet.

"I know them, they are dad's staff here in the Philippines. It just so happens that another mafia and our family have a deal in that place where it's hidden. It's just your bad luck because you passed by that place. You owe me a lot Aya,"  Gio said with a wink.

How did he know my name?!

I wanted to hit him but maybe when I got out of this car I suddenly fell because he shot me.

"T-thank you Gio. Thank you for saving me,"  I stutter at the mention and I can't even look straight at him.

Oh God!  Why am I feeling this way?!  Why can't I be comfortable.  Why does something seem wrong?  The coldness of my hand and still nervous.  Wait!  You are not in love celeste, No !!!  It can't be okay!  I pinched my arm to return to trance.

"All right Gio, I'm in. Maybe Dad is so worried now,"  I was about to go down when he suddenly pulled my arm and kissed me on the lips. All of a sudden my hair stood on end.  I don’t know but I responded to his kisses.  I'm going crazy. You're driving me crazy Gio!

A few more minutes passed and I was the one who left on my own because I was also short of air.  As our lips parted I was so breathless that you thought you ran 100km without stopping.

I didn't wait for what he would say and I went down before he kissed me again.  I even heard him say "I missed you Aya" before he pulled over his car.

What are you thinking celeste!  why do I seem to know him?  the heartless and ignorant in the world is now becoming Soft?  Became Soft because of Gio?  no, it's wrong.  I will not persuade him.  Do I know if he's just fooling me or using it for his plan? Is this called Love at first sight?
