Grab the little hoe

**…and being alone with Alessandro Blaze.**

"What are you doing?" repetead Alessandro Blaze.

“I should ask you. I live here and you are all accursed invaders” shouted the old lady.

Alessandro Blaze pushed The Karen back. She stammered, surprised at his strength.

“Do you live here?” asked Alessandro Blaze. “I'm a Blaze. I own this condo and winery.”

"I live her. What you gonna do?"

Alessandro Blaze took out his cell phone and made a call and took a photo of the woman. He then made a call.

"Yes, sir" said a female voice on the line.

"She don't here on the winery anymore. "

"Yes... sir."

Alessandro cut the call under The Karen protests.

"What?! You can't do this" stated The Karen. “I have lived here for years. This is my home!”

Alessandro Blaze waved her off but the woman began while crying. Those tears were so fake they could have been bottled and sold at Shein.

“But, sir… I was just trying to protect my home and…”

“Protect from whom? A teenage girl and a little boy? But what a great danger” sneered Alessandro Blaze.

Karen grumbled and grumbled but eventually left.

Alessandro Blaze turned to Sunny. She was still paralyzed and lying on the floor. She tried to get up but her leg hurt. She looked up to see Alessandro standing before her, holding out his hand. Just like he did when they first met. She was hiding thinking that she was going to be raped. But he was nice and patient with her. He always gives her a hand.

Sunny was still transfixed by his beauty. The vineyard seemed to further highlight Alessandro's stunning vision. He had wine-red hair that gleamed in the summer sun. His eyes were emerald green, which contrasted with his golden skin. There were no freckles or acne, his skin was flawless. He smiled revealing his white and perfect teeth.

“You are safe now,” assured Alessandro Blaze. His voice was velvety and gentle. Like the morning sun touching the skin.

Feeling her heart slip, Suny Hirsch took his hand.

Sunny was breathless for a moment, not knowing what to say. She took his hand and felt his touch firm and warm. He helped her carefully and supported her on his arm.

“You keep smiling,” Sunny Hirsch said.

“It's because I'm really, really happy that you're both okay,” Alessandro Blaze said.

“Then stop smiling,” said Otto Blaze.

“I'm… very… happy,” said Alessandro Blaze, unable to hide his laughter anymore. "So... happy..."

Otto Blaze and Sunny Hirsch exchanged a look.

"Stop laughing!" said Sunny Hirsch.

Alessandro Blaze could hardly stand up from laughing so hard.

“That woman is the size of a sea lion… You… You two fleeing in the toy car… You flipped… hHAHAHAH…” Alessandro Blaze continued to laugh non-stop. He was crying with laughter and looked in disbelief at his own tears.

Sunny Hirsch sighed.

"Goodbye, Otto."

"You two... falling... the sea lion HA.HA. HA."

"Goodbye, Sunshine Hirsch. I have to go home now."

"AND THE CAR... THE CAR... HAHAHAHA."

"You didn't get hurt, right?"

"THE BROOM HAHAHAHA SHE TRIED TO USE LIKE A DAMN GUN HAHAHA"

"I'll survive. See ya."

"Sure."

Sunny left Alessandro rolling on the floor laughing. She returned to the field and continued weeding. She didn't pause again or look at the counter again. She just wanted to finish her work soon and leave that place.

"What are you doing here, Miss Hirsch?" asked Alessandro Blaze now more calm.

“I'm…” Sunny Hirsch swallowed a petulant reply. “I am being punished for beating your brother. And maybe I have to be punished one more time.”

“I thought he hit you.”

“Oh, that too,” Sunny Hirsch replied vaguely.

“Are you coming to the ball?” asked Alessandro Blaze.

Sunny Hirsch took the wheelbarrow.

“I don't know what you're talking about, sir.”

“Can you look at me?” asked Alessandro Blaze.

No. You are a married man. *I also don't have enough saliva to drool over you*, thought Sunny Hirsch.

“I'm sorry, sir. But I'm busy.”

“Alright then. I'll help you then, Sunny.”

He decided it was too hot to wear the suit and took it off. He was left only with a white shirt. He looked stunning in the white shirt that molded his muscular body. His strong, shapely arms moved with grace and agility, revealing his bulging veins. His abs were so ripped, making Sunny wonder what it would be like to touch him.

"Are you serious?" said Sunny Hirsch.

Alessandro Blaze smiled, folded his suit and laid it on the fence, and said, "Call me your assistant today."

To Sunny Hirsch's shock, he did indeed pick up a hoe and set to work beside it in the blazing sun. He sweated and took deep breaths. Sweat made the T-shirt stick to his defined chest, broad and firm. His tanned skin glistened with sweat.

Sunny tried to concentrate on her work, but she couldn't take her eyes off him. He was so beautiful that it was like a dream.

"Are you alright?" Alessandro Blaze asked, noticing the young woman's distracted look.

“I'm happy,” Sunny Hirsch said. “With your help, the job was done quickly.”

Alessandro Blaze looked down at himself.

"I wanted to talk to you, but now I'm all sweaty and stinking."

Sunny Hirsch thought he smelled wonderful and intoxicating. She never thought a sweaty man could be so irresistible, but there she was like a dog looking at a piece of bacon.

“Where is your hotel?” asked Alessandro Blaze.

“I came straight here,” Sunny Hirsch said. “I was hoping to go back to Milan today.”

“But what about the ball?”

"I don't know..."

“The masquerade ball that the Wolf Group throws every year after Easter. It's a charity ball. All the maids will be there. Everyone actually” said Alessandro Blaze.

“So I was going to have to come anyway?” complained Sunny Hirsch.

“Why? You don't have a place to stay until tomorrow?”

Sunny Hirsch shook her head.

Alessandro Blaze put the hoe down.

“Don't tell anyone where we're going” he ordered.

Sunny Hirsch nodded and then realizes.

"Wait. Where are we going?”

"My secret place."
