Sage's POV

I wasn't sure what to expect when I doordashed for the first time. I always loved listening to true crime podcasts, and watching gory thriller movies. "What if this person was gonna murder me?" I thought as I paced back and forth by the door waiting for my order to arrive. 

I got a notification that my order was arriving soon. His name popped up as Matteo Alexander. My heart dropped when I saw that name. I had just got my heart broken by a guy named Axel Alexander. I live in a small town named Maplewood located on the coast of Maine. It is the type of town where everybody knows everyone. 

I'm nervous that it might be Axel's older brother that was rumored to be coming back from Italy. I know what you may be thinking shouldn't I know his older brother. Funny story, I've never met him. He's been in Italy ever since me and Axel started dating. Axel mentioned his older brother had been sent away to Italy because of his ties to the family business. 

After Axel's dad passed his older brother was supposed to take over the company. The whole family was very secretive about what the business entailed. However I heard from the local town gossip that the family business was bad news.

As my mind was racing I heard a knock on my door. My heart froze and my stomach dropped. I was stuck in place, unable to move a muscle. What if it was him.. I finally worked up enough courage to open the door. 

There right at my front door stood a tall gorgeous man. I stood there for a minute paralyzed as I examined him, and slowly took in all of his beauty. His hair was a chestnut brown and very well maintained. Not one single hair was out of place. He has piercing green eyes that looked like they could cut glass. He had deep tan skin without a single flaw on it. I could see his tattoos peeking out from underneath his white button up shirt. To say that he was hot would be understatement. 

As he cleared his throat.. I finally snapped out of my daze and realized that I might have been staring for too long. I looked back up to see a sly grin on his face. "Here's your order Miss. Sage" he spoke with a smirk plastered on his face. It was almost like he knew exactly what I was thinking. 

"Thank you" I said with a hue of pink covering my cheeks. As I was glancing at him one last time I noticed something around his neck. It was an Italian Horn on a small gold chain. 

Immediately I knew who he was. Axel wore that exact chain everyday. He would never take it off. I quickly grabbed my order and slammed the door shut. Too afraid to continue the awkward interaction. Especially since I knew who I was staring at.
