His Mafia Princess - J.H

Chapter 14

Mirriella pov

"Right." I answered.

"Follow me." He said as he walked out of the room, I quickly walked over to the closet to get out a pair of socks. "Come on." He called out when he realised I wasn't behind him.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, calm your tits." I laughed as I quickly caught up to him.

He walked down the stairs and I followed him into a room I had yet to go in. All I knew was that this was the room he kept the dogs in when he left the house. He went over and sat on the sofa. I saw two lots of food sat in the table. I walked over and sat on the floor in front of my food. I took a fry and looked up to see Jaden looking at me weirdly.

"What?" I asked as I swallowed my food.

"Why are you sitting on the floor?" He asked as he took a sip of his drink.

"Force of habit I guess." I shrugged as I continued to eat. I could tell my actions and words confused him, but he didn't say anything.

At some point, Blaze had walked over to me and cuddled up into my lap. I laughed and stroked his head, but stop when Beaux had approached me. I decided to see if I could win her over with food. I got one of my chicken strips and took the spicy coating off of it. I then ripped it in half and put my finger on it, making sure it wasn't too hot. I then held it up to her mouth. She sniffed it and then took it from my hand. She chewed on it, and then licked my cheek. I laughed and wiped it off.

"Does this mean you like me now?" I asked her as I stroked under her chin. She yawned and then laid down in the bed, after picking Blaze up and taking him with her. I ate the other half of the chickens strip and continued to eat my food.

"I mean, at least she isn't trying to rip your head off now." Jaden shrugged as he finished his food.

"Well, there's that to it I guess." I agreed as I watched him pick up a controller.

I watched as he flicked through the many movies on Netflix, and settled for a horror, which didn't bother me. I just sat there eating, watching the film intently. That was until I felt my eyes get heavy, and I laid down on the floor, resting my head on my arm.

Jaden pov

I was confused when she said that sitting on the floor to eat was a force of habit, but didn't push it further because it wasn't my business. I was concerned though, that her body was still shivering, even forty minutes after her shower.

I watched as she interacted with Beaux. Considering that Beaux put massive indents into her calf yesterday, she still seems pretty fearless around her. She gave Beaux a piece of her chicken, to which she accepted. It seemed for a minute that maybe Beaux had warmed up to Mirriella, but when she walked away from her with Blaze, it seemed to have not been as much as I first thought.

She continued to eat her food slowly, while I put on a a movie. She seemed to put up no protest when I selected a horror movie, so I proceeded and pressed play. About thirty minutes into the movie, Boxer had jumped up from behind the couch and onto my lap, making me jump. I laughed and stroked his head a few times before returning back to the movie.

"Jesus fucking Christ. What the fuck are you watching?" Remi had said randomly, making me jump as I wasn't expecting her to be there.

"For fuck sake Remi." I said in a frightened voice as I tried to calm my heart rate. She started laughing as I paused the movie.

"Sorry, but I mean, what the fuck is going on up there?" She asked as she pointed to the screen. That's a fair question, the image shown is a man tied up with two knives stuck into his side while a woman is riding his thigh.

"A horror movie. I thought you were staying with Stefan." I said as I turned to her.

"Bro I literally fucking told you that I wasn't going tonight because he stayed behind at the building." She explained.

"Oh yeah." I noticed that Mirriella was being very quiet, so I looked over to see her asleep on the floor. Who the fuck falls asleep during a horror movie!?

"Why is she on the floor?" Remi asked when she noticed the girl asleep on the floor.

"When I brought her down to eat she sat on the floor, I asked why and she said it was a force of habit. I didn't want to question further and she showed no signs of moving up here so I just left her. I then put the movie on and she must have fallen asleep." I explained.

"Well then. See you later." She said as she walked over to the stairs.

"Yeah night." I said as I went to play the movie.

"Oh, and don't be an asshole. Carry her upstairs into her bed when you're ready to go up." She added before disappearing.

I rolled my eyes and just played the last twenty minutes of the movie that ended shit. I got up and went to the kitchen to feed the dogs, I brought their food over and put it in the bowls. Beaux tried to carry Blaze over, but I stopped her from doing that.

"Beaux, you need to let him walk." I said as I took the puppy out of her mouth and placed him onto the floor.

I was about to go upstairs when I remembered that Mirriella was still on the floor. I sighed and contemplated leaving her there, but didn't want the third degree from Remi if she found out.

I walked over to Mirriella's sleeping body. After putting her trash in the bin, noting that she didn't eat all her fries or her chicken, I went to pick her up. I picked her up and wrapped her legs around my waist. Her head rested on my shoulder and I held under her thighs.

I carried her upstairs, and took her into the room. The light was still on from painting earlier. I pulled back the covers and laid her on the bed. She immediately curled up into a ball and snuggled against the pillow. I chuckled lowly and put the covers back over her. I noticed she was still shivering so I tucked the covers closer to her. I then walked over to the switch and turned the lights off before leaving her room and walking to my own.
