ELENA’S POV

Our talk was cut short when Sam appeared infront of us feeling very awkward indeed. He still had a plaster above his nose bridge but I was glad to see it wasnt broken.

“Hey Elena, you gave Mary-Ann quite a scare when you didnt show up  but I told her that you are staying at a friend’s place.

“Umm, thanks.” This meeting certainly felt very weird, and Luis’ presence certainly made it even more awkward.

Luis, can I talk to you please?” I spoke as I walked a little towards his car. He ended his staring contest with Sam, more of him threatening Sam with his eyes while Sam just stared at him confused.

“Can you wait for me in the car please” I pleaded with him. I knew he would say no, but I had to try.

He was seriously contemplating it but finally he agreed and silently walked towards the car, and as he opened the door I walked back to Sam.

“Hey Sam! I’m really sorry about what Luis did, it was really embarassing and a childish behaviour. Are you ok?” I felt like a bitch saying this, especially sice I had left him and went with Luis but then that is life.

“Am ok Elena. was just shocked when I saw him coming to us, you never told me you had a boyfriend.”

“He is not my boyfriend.” I sighed sadly. “We are probably just close friends.”

“Its totally fine with me Elena, you are a grown woman and I cant make any decisions.”

“I wish someone else also knew that.” I spoke under my breath.

“What is that? I didnt get you well.” Shit!

“It was nothing, do you want to show me around The place?” I spoke in a hurry to get away from Luis’ piercing gaze that i could feel.

We walked in through the gate and Sam gave me a tour of his mechanic shop. It was actually a very big and well organized place and not those shabby mechanic shops where they would steal all kinds of spares from your car and then charge you ridiculous bills.

He even showed me his vintage car collection that had been started by his father and i could see how his eyes lit up whenever he explained to me how his dad or him had aquired it from someone for a bargain price.
Very soon it was time to go evident by the way Luis was fuming as he walked towards me.

“Elena, we have to go. I have an Important meeting and I need you with me.” Luis spoke as soon as he was by my side. He was still glaring at Sam.
Jeez! He was still so childish.

“Hey Luis, we didnt get off to a good start, so am sorry if I stepped over the line last time.”

“Its good you know that, Elena is mine and I dont like sharing what is mine.” And as he spoke he pulled me by the waist towards him and i couldnt help leaning in.

Sam saw this and he just shook his head as he dropped his towel to escort us outside.

“So, do you work on all kinds of cars here?” I was shocked at hearing Luis take a sudden interest in Sam’s work and I could tell Sam was too by the way his mouth was hanging open.

“Yah, we do everything. We just started a new paint job shop and it only deals with grafittis on cars and things of that sort.”

“Nice, i might send someone here some time.”

“Oh, that would be nice.”  I Could tell From the way Sam’s face lit up that he was so happy that Luis paid interest in what he did.
God bless his soul, he couldnt hold a grudge against anyone and deep down i had a feeling that these two would become good friends at some point.

Once we were back on the road, it was back to the silence.

“So how did you and Russo meet?” I asked trying to break the silence.

“We met in the army.” Came his short reply.

Wow, Luis went to the army, but when? He looked like a mama’s boy to me and I couldnt see how his mom had allowed him to go.

“When did you go and why?” I was so shocked at the same time excited to find out more about this mysterious man who hid everything behind those angry eyes.

“When I finished highschool my dad had already planned everything for me so that I inherit the business, and I didnt like that. him going aroud and deciding everyone’s life made me sick.
So I signed up for the army and they accepted me. I went up to recruit training school and after becoming a private, i signed up for Iraq.”

Just him mentioning the fact that he went to war in Irag made my blood run cold.

“Why did you so that for?” I found myself suddenly scolding him. “What if something had happened to you there?” I was in despair.

“Chill, ok?” He spoke with a slight chuckle. “I am here now, right?”

He did make sense, but still didnt make sense at the same time.
I just huffed and crossed my arms over my chest and looked out the window.

When we got to his office, he asked me to stay while he sent off some delegates away, very rude of him as usual.
I tried to just sit still in the couch like Luis had asked but that was always a difficult task and those who knew me could testify.

I went up to his desk and sat on his big comfy chair. I started moving round and round on his big chair and it was real fun until I hit my knee on his desk.

I sobered up and stared at Luis’ computer, and smiled when my ideas kicked in. Let me see if he watches porn.
Before I could even click the mouse, the screen lit up and I saw a screen saver of him and a beautiful girl in a bikini. Behind them was a the beach, probably some exotic carribean Island.

But what caught my attention even more was the text at the bottom,
“Hey, you around?
Missed you like hell.
On my way!”

Was this another of Luis’ flings? Seriously how many women had this man involved himself with?
And how stupid where they not to notice his player ways?
At this thought I remembered myself and quickly shut up. They probably couldnt help it, just like me.

When she walked in, to say I was shocked would be an understatement. She had a lean figure and she looked a little bit on the muscular side. She was wearing a pair of adidas track suits and had a hat on. She looked nothing like the other women I had seen Luis with.

“Who are you and why are you checking me out?” Yap! She was definitely one of them, and of course she hated my guts.

“Maybe I should ask you, because Luis said he had no visitors.” I spoke raising an eyebrow

“Listen here you bitch, Luis has already had enough pain and cheating in his life, he doesnt need any more from you, plus you dont even mean anything to him. So please leave and never talk to him again.”

I wanted to argue with the girl standing infront of me but every time I stole a glance back to Luis’s computer told me she was very special to him. The smile on their faces spoke volumes and I didnt want to be in the way of Luis’ happiness.

“I am leaving now, not because you asked me to but just because I feel maybe Luis is actually happier with you.” I spoke as I passed her on my way out with my head held high.
Even though she had made Me feel dirty and like a whore, I wasnt going to let her see that.

When I walked out of the building, it was already getting cloudy and I heard a distant rumble probably meaning that it would rain soon.
Just my luck, and the fact that I didnt have a place to stay only made things worse.

I sat on a bench in the garden across the building and stared at it.
Then I realized that this was the same building where luis had brought me to see the lights of New york.
It was actually his builidng, or technically still belonged to his father. And he hadnt even wanted to tell me about it, Luis could be very modest at times when he wanted to.

In the corner of my eye, I saw a man walking out, actually running out with his coat being blown by the wind. He seemed to be looking all around, probably looking for someone.
I got closer to have a look at him, shit! It was Luis. And he looked properly panicked. I really wanted to go help him out but remembered the girl in his office.
I realized he was probably looking for me so I gathered myself and began to briskly walk in between the cafe shops outside hoping to disguise myself.

“Elennaaa!” shit! Luis had recognized me, curse those amazing skills they are taught in the army, how was I supposed to outrun him then?

I began to pick up the pace as I heard his footsteps getting closer, thank god for the simple shoes I was wearing.

Shit! He was getting even closer. “Elena stop, please wait.” I really wanted to stop and listen to him but everytime I considered it, the girl from his office came back to my mind.

Tears began to fall as I recalled everything I had gone through in the past three weeks. Abuse from Franco, Meeting and falling For Luis, getting my heart broken before I even discovered that I was in love with Luis, and now Luis chasing me while I ran from him.

Suddenly from nowhere I felt an all too familiar scent around me and I was carried up in the air and spun around in the opposite direction. I had probably stopped running at some point.
I closed my eyes afraid of what I would see in Luis’ eyes when if I were to open them.

He didnt even talk, he just held me there as I cried till I could cry no more.

“Why did you run away Elena?” He asked softly, as he deeply inhaled my scent.

“I dont know,” i lied.

“Hush baby, dont lie. Tell me what happened,” He spoke while grabbing my ass from behind and he squezed it lightly causing me to moan loudly.

“The girl whom you saved as your screen saver came and told me to get out of your life.” I spoke while breathing heavily since he was rubbing my ass up and down with his hands.

He immediately stopped once I told him the real reason why I had left.

"You say the girl is my screen saver on my computer?" I just nodded.

He moved away from me and started pacing around me to and fro till I thought he had gone mad.

“That was my sister Frida,” he spoke after a while. I just stood there gawking like a fool.

“I will go and fix her for sure. I said I dont want anyone meddling in my life.”

“Its ok Luis, it doesnt matter anymore. I realized I dont belong here and I intend to leave.” He looked heartbroken.

“You cant leave he spoke after a while, I wont let you.”

“Dont you feel this?” He spoke while grabbing my ass again and kissing my neck.
I involuntary leaned in which allowed him to continue his assault on my neck.
I couldnt stop moaning and for a while I just wanted us to be like this forever.
But Luis already said he couldnt be in a relationship, why should I continue sticking around?

“I dont want you to leave Elena, i dont want to go Insane because I let you go.
You have no idea of the things you do to me everytime my eyes fall on you.
I tried so hard to push you out of my life and now that you are in it, I cant bear the thought of waking up the next morning and realizing that you no longer exist in my life.”

I had began crying again, this time more than before and I couldnt stop myself. I fell into his arms when he came closer and we stayed that way for a while.
No one had ever made me feel this important and worthy, i couldnt even begin to repay him.

“Please dont go Elena, please give me a chance. I know I am messed up and very confusing to you but I dont know any other way.”

I was so confused and conflicted right now. I really wanted to give Luis a chance, but what would happen if things didnt work out?
What if I left him more broken than I found him?

But again, Luis was the only man who made me feel things that I thought only happened in movies.
He started a fire in me that was always burning even when he wasnt around me anymore.

“What about that trail of women you have left behind you?” I asked a little bit afraid of his answer.

“None of them have ever meant so much to me like you have Elena, and I’ll be damned if I were to give you up without a fight.”

And just with those simple words, my heart had made its own decision and I couldnt help smilling against his chest as soft rain drops began to fall around us.

Wooow!!!🙄🙄
I am out of words, this has to be my favourite chapter so far.
Who knew Luis was actually this deep? That he could actually feel?

Sorry for the late update but It was so hard coming up with romantic words for Luis since I know nothing about Romance.
But I feel like it was pretty okay and for the first time I am proud of MIB!
