Bewitched His Soul

Enzo pulled her closer and she subconsciously leaned her head against his shoulders. He slowly tied up her hair and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

Hazel had never been this close to Enzo before and, even though she was leaning on him at the roller coaster she was too scared to think of anything other than when she would get down. 

His wooden musky perfume hit her nostrils wanting her to inhale more, the fabric of his coat was too smooth.

"Let's go," Enzo whispered in her ear.

"Hmm," Hazel rubbed her head once on his shoulder before stepping back.

"Oh no, dad is at home. I need to be at home before 10," Hazel panicked and jumped around.

"Hazel relax, I will make sure you will be home in half an hour," Enzo consoled her.

Hazel stuffed the printed photos in her purse and Enzo told the driver to drive fast. 

When they reached her home, Hazel turned towards him and smiled," Enzo thank you, I really enjoyed our time tonight. "

"Remember, you should always answer my calls and messages," Enzo reminded her. Nodding her head, Hazel bid him goodbye and went inside.

The next day she was in college when her phone beeped. It was a message from Enzo.

"Did you get caught yesterday?"Enzo typed.

"No, dad had taken mom out for dinner and luckily they came home after I did," Hazel answered.

To make up for his hectic schedule, Tristan and Ava were taking some alone time where they would go on dinner dates or lock themselves up for hours in their room.

"I checked last night and you have not posted any photos," Enzo typed.

"Of course, didn't I promise you!" Hazel typed with a lot of exclamation marks. She was in class yet she kept her phone under the desk and was typing without any care in the world.

"Oh, I never expected you to be so obedient," Enzo sent.

"Of course I am very obedient," Hazel typed with an angry face. Enzo chuckled while reading the message, everyone in the meeting looked shocked.

Lorenzo Santoris was disciplined and strict when he was at work, but today he has been on his phone since this morning. He did not stop texting after the meeting started, and now he was smiling and grinning as if he was a teenage boy texting his first crush.

Enzo could already imagine her expression,  her face frowning, lips tightly sealed and eyes narrowed, trying to look serious but failing miserably. 

"Sir, we need your input on the investment slide," One of the employees asked.

Enzo typed saying he would text her later, but he did not get any response back. He kept his phone aside and finished the meeting.

He left work at the same time Hazel's classes ended. He was waiting outside the gate when she walked towards him and sat inside the car.

"So how was your day?" Enzo asked but still she kept quiet.

"Are you hungry? Should we stop to get something?" Enzo asked but Hazel still chose not to answer.

"Hazel? What happened? Why are you not talking to me?" Enzo asked and this time Hazel turned towards the window pretending not to hear him.

Enzo got frustrated as he did not not know what her problem was. A few hours back, everything was alright and she texted him. He wrapped his arms around her shoulder and turned her towards him, yet she decided not to meet his eyes.

"Well, let's see who's going to win. We are not getting out of here until you say a word," Enzo snapped. Both of them stared at each other but Hazel was no match for his hard gaze, but within a few minutes she surrendered.

"You are so bad..,"Hazel started to hit his chest. Enzo just let her vent all her anger, and remained silent. After some time, she got tired. Her hands were feeling painful. Seriously, she wanted to know what type of diet and exercise he followed, as his chest was rock solid.

"Okay enough, your hands are turning red," Enzo took both her hands in his and blew air to cool them down.

"You always get me in trouble, now you should help me," Hazel accused.

"Tell me what exactly happened?" Enzo asked.

"I was texting during the class and the principal came to do his special rounds. I was so involved in texting that I did not even look up. Then when the professor called my name I was startled, the principal asked me to explain what was written on the blackboard and obviously, I had no clue. The principal started to lecture me not only because I was using my phone but also I was not listening in class. The professor gave me a punishment, I need to write three papers and submit it by this Friday," Hazel ranted.

"How is that my fault?" Enzo asked

" I was texting you because you told me to never ignore your messages or calls," Hazel pointed her finger towards him.

"There is one week left for submission, I need to pull an  all-nighter.  I cannot even attend my friend's party. You know Esther and I thought of twining , we even shopped for our new dress," Hazel explained.

Enzo chuckled and said, "The only time you listen to me would be in the wrong situation."

"Enzo stopped laughing. This is your mistake and now you should rectify it," Hazel stated.

"Oh and how is that?" Enzo raised his brow.

"Well, you can start by doing my assignments," Hazel suggested.

"Why do I feel you faked being angry and it has always been your plan to escape your responsibilities," Enzo smirked.

"Wow, now you are doubting me? Fine, for the next week I will not answer your calls and like a good student focus all my attention on my studies," Hazel scowled.

"Well, that will be bad," Enzo murmured. He was getting successful in making her open up to him and at any cost they cannot go back to square one. He had every intention of doing her assignment, he was teasing her to get a reaction.

"Very bad," Hazel acted serious. 

"Stop being so adorable," Enzo laughed and lightly pinched her cheeks.
