Matteo gave me the space I needed after he left my room. So, instead of being gloomy in my room for the night like I had originally planned, I gave my little sister a text.
1 got a bit anxious waiting for her reply because if she was asleep or if she was busy, I had no other choices. Matteo couldn't easily be lied to, and I wasn't going to take any risks.
The text was short and simple, 'Are you free tonight? Let's meet up for a drink' and she responded back asking for the location. So, in a short amount of time, I was taking a shower and getting ready in different clothes.
I did my makeup, but it wasn't too much, I just wanted to look as if I was out on a girls' night.
When I went downstairs, I found Matteo was already in the car waiting for me. So, I didn't bother wasting anymore time and decided it was time to go.
I put the location inside his car, so the screen was rerouting. The only reason I did that was to avoid talking to him even though I knew he had a lot of things to say.
Apparently, I
I saw the takeout on the kitchen counter, and I had assumed he didn't eat any of them yet. The whole hour I was getting ready, he was probably already waiting in the car.
I didn't say a word and neither did he. He was driving quietly, eyes focusing on the road as one of his hands was gripping on the steering wheel and the other on his thigh. If I hadn't treated him the way I did in my room, that hand was probably on my thigh instead. My eyebrows furrowed as I saw bruises and a few cuts on his knuckles.
And I instantly knew, he was dealing with something. More accurately, someone.
I couldn't miss the cut across his temple, too. It wasn't too deep or anything and it was a short cut, but it was visible enough -it looked new, just like the cuts and bruises on his knuckles.
It felt miserably awkward in the car. He didn't bother to turn on the music either as he drove, as if he was the only one in the
car.
I wanted this kind of treatment, and he was giving it to me. But why was I feeling upset about it?
When we arrived, he stopped in front of the car as he took a few seconds to look around. He was probably checking the surroundings and my hand was already reaching out to the door, but he hadn't unlocked it.
"Can you unlock the door?" I asked, grabbing my handbag as I turned to the door without looking at him.
"I need to talk to you first," he replied abruptly, his body facing me.
"We can talk at home."
"Please, Alena? Let me talk to you."
"Fine, what is it?" I leaned back on the seat and my eyes met his instantly. Those brown ones were red and highlighted by his dark circles-he was exhausted from work, and it was clear. The hollows of his cheeks were prominent, too. He looked like he had lost a few weights because he hadn't been eating properly.
He grabbed my hands, caressing the back of them.
"I really want to know why you're acting like this. Did I do something wrong?"

"Why do you think yourdid something wrong?"
"Because you're acting like this towards me. I must've done something."

We hadn't broken the eye contact and I couldn't simply look away, either. He was holding the eye contact with genuine concern. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and jaw was clenched, he wanted to solve this, but he didn't want to push me. "Matteo...
"If you're not in the mood for something, just let me know. If it's something about work, you can always tell me if you want to. If you don't feel great because of your migraine, I can give you a massage to make you feel better. If you're feeling emotional, let me know why. I can't read your mind, baby. I can't know what you're thinking unless you tell me."
He sounded desperate. I was growing weak.
"I just don't feel like talking to you or anyone at this moment."
"But you're meeting your sister, Alena."
"Because she's the only one I want to talk to now,"
"You're pushing me away, Alena. I don't know why."
I'm not. I'm
I'm just asking you to give me some time!" I pulled my hands away, sighing. "Can you at least respect that, Matteo? I'll talk to you whenever I'm ready. So, please unlock the door. My sister is waiting for me inside," Matteo leaned back before unlocking the doors, causing me to immediately step out.

to the nightclub. The driver couldn't stop staring at us through the rearview mirror, but it felt like a shot of confidence rather than causing us to feel uncomfortable. He didn't say a word to us, and I appreciated that. We arrived at the nightclub and as soon as we got inside, loud music was banging in the walls. I was seeing people dancing, drinking, and kissing-they were having the time of their lives. The smell of sex was too clear to deny. "When was
