She is Marked as the Only One by the Mafia

Episode 19

We arrived at the safe house and Dante and Saul got out of the van, leaving me alone with my Dr. I caressed her cheek and started to speak to her.

Alexander - Gorgeous.

She moves and begins to open her eyes, she looks at me.

Andrea - Alexander?

Alexander - My name sounds incredible coming from your lips, gorgeous.

I see how she blushes and tries to get away from my arms, but that's the last thing I want now.

Alexander - Relax gorgeous, are you okay?

Andrea - Yes, just tired from my shift, I haven't slept in almost 2 days.

Alexander - Gorgeous, I know it's your job, but you have to take time to rest. Come on, I'll take you to eat something first, then you can rest.

Andrea - Where are we?

Alexander - At my house.

I see that she is surprised.

Andrea - Like, your house? What am I doing here Alexander? I have to go.

Alexander - Relax, gorgeous, everything will be fine. I brought you here because I'm going to protect you, and I also want to talk to you about the pending issue.

Andrea - Pending issue?

Alexander - Marriage, I really want you to be my wife.

Andrea - But why me?

Alexander - Because from the first moment I saw you, you captivated me, your simplicity, humility, and seeing how dedicated you are to your profession, I felt here (I touch my heart) how it accelerated more and more for you. Believe me, even I am surprised, there has been no one who has managed to make me feel all this until you appeared. I want you in my life, you enchant me, gorgeous, and I am convinced that I want you to be my wife.

Andrea - Alexander, you don't know me enough, I have ghosts, traumas that you don't know, and I don't know you enough either.

I take her hand and place it on my chest, next to my heart.

Alexander - You feel it, gorgeous? (She nods) It's like this for you, trust me, beautiful, we can get to know each other, but I want to marry you.

Andrea - Alexander, my mother will always cause problems, I don't want to involve you in that. I was planning to leave the country and that's what I want to do. You have a life here, I plan to make my life far from this place.

I smile, Alexander - Gorgeous, I don't live in this country, it seems perfect to me that you want to get out of here, I'll take you with me, we'll go to Ireland, but first I would like to marry you.

Andrea - Ireland?

Alexander - That's right, gorgeous, I swear I'll protect you with my life, trust me.

Andrea - Let me think about it, please.

I hug her tightly.

Alexander - Don't think about it too much, gorgeous, now let's get you something to eat and then you can rest.

I get out of the van and take her hand to help her down, but I don't let go of her hand as we enter the house.

Alexander - Welcome, gorgeous, come.

I take her to the dining room and ask.

Alexander - Do you feel like anything in particular, beautiful?

Andrea - No, anything is fine.

Alexander - Good, could you serve, please?

We began to eat in silence, but it is a pleasant silence. I watch her out of the corner of my eye and I realize that she is watching me, and that makes me smile inwardly.

Andrea - Where is your brother?

Alexander - He must be in his room.

Andrea - Won't he eat with us?

Alexander - I like that expression "us", it sounds beautiful.

Andrea - Come on, Alexander, your brother has to eat too.

Alexander - Relax, beautiful, I'll call him now.

Dante - It's not necessary, I'm already here, brother, (he turns to my Dr.) delighted to share the table with my sister-in-law.

I see how she blushes and just nods her head and continues eating. I can't stop smiling.

Dante - And when's the wedding?

My precious Dr. chokes on the water she had just been drinking.

Alexander - Are you okay, gorgeous?

Andrea - Ye-yes, yes, I'm fine.

I see that she is looking at Dante.

Dante - Sister-in-law, my brother has told me what he feels for you, and what I told you at the hospital, that you had changed him, was true.

I see how my Dr. looks at me, and I can only nod.

Andrea - I understand, but we don't know each other, haven't you thought that I could be a serial killer or something?

Dante - Ha, ha, ha, come on, sister-in-law, with this ogre you have by your side, that doesn't scare him; on the contrary, I think he would join you to continue killing, ha, ha, ha! But seriously, when's the wedding?

Alexander - We are talking about it, brother.

Dante - Don't worry, sister-in-law, at home you have in-laws and a grandfather who, if this animal does anything to you, they will support you and help you give this ogre a good beating.

I see my Dr. smile and I like that, I want to see her always happy.

Andrea - Can I call my friends?

Alexander - Of course, beautiful, this is your house, if you want to see them you can ask them to come without a problem.

Andrea - Thank you, I will then, excuse me.

Dante - Go ahead, sister-in-law.

I see her get up from the table, take her cell phone, and make the call.

Andrea - Hi Dani.

Daniela - My friend! How are you? What happened? Were you able to leave?

Andrea - Relax, Dani, I'm fine, just tired, but because of the shift at the hospital.

Daniela - Where are you?

Andrea - That's why I'm calling you, I'd like to see you, could be?

Daniela - Of course, friend, send me the location and we'll go there, but are you sure you're okay?
