Bullied To Love novel Chapter 20

By the end of the week, I had spent the best time of my life, making amazing memories with Enzo. Every day we did something new. The next day after seeing all those beautiful fish, Enzo took me to this amazing waterfall and dared me to jump in it. Which I did, and it felt amazing. We went hiking, which was kind of scary but fun. It still feels like I am dreaming. I can't believe everything that has happened to me in just one week. I pray that if I am dreaming I never wake up. I am brought back from my thoughts when I hear Enzo calling me.

"Katherine. Katherine. KATHERINE," He says stepping in front of me

"Sorry what were you saying," I say coming back to the real world.

"I called your name three times. What were you thinking about?"

"Oh, its nothing."

"I know you too well to know it’s not ‘nothing.’" Enzo says clearly seeing through me.

"Fine, I thought what if I wake up and everything is a dream," I say, deciding to tell him my thoughts

"And why would you think like that."

"It's because this past week has been so amazing that I am starting to think it is all a dream," I say wrapping my arms around him.

"Really, then after this tell me if this feels like a dream or not"

"After wh…" before I can finish my sentence, he kisses me, bringing a big smile to my face.

"Now tell me if that felt like a dream or not," he says smiling while he holds my face in his hands

"No! I don't think I am dreaming" I say smiling back at him

"Alright then, let’s be on our way."

After 10 hours of being in the air, we finally arrive back at New York by nightfall. As soon as we land, Enzo gets a call from someone and he does not sound happy. Even though he is speaking Italian, I am still able to make out some words, though my Italian is not that good. I can make out the words ‘uccidere’ (kill) and ‘Sarò ci molto presto’ (I will be there very soon). It makes me a little worried, wondering why Enzo would say ‘kill’ in a sentence. I should trust Enzo. Maybe he was trying to scare the person, which I am pretty sure worked.

"Bella, do you mind if I drop by the hotel? There is some business I have to handle there." he says as soon as he gets off the phone.

"Sure, I will tell mama I won't be coming home soon," I say taking my phone out of my bag to call mama. But she beats me to it when my phone starts ringing and it shows mama as the caller.

"Hello, mama, I just arrived at the airport," I say walking a few feet away from Enzo. We are currently waiting outside for them to finish putting our bags in the car, so we can be on our way.

"Hi, sweetie, how was your flight? I am guessing it went well."

"It was fine mama; I was about to call you and tell you I might be coming home a bit late."

"Oh, that’s fine, just get home safe."

"I will, but mama, why did you say get home safe not come home safe. Are you not at home?"

“No, I am not. I am at my boyfriend’s place for the weekend."
