Tempted by your Darkness

Twenty-Two

Y/n POV:

The past few days have been amazing. I've spent all of it with Mattia. From the second I woke up and he made me breakfast in bed to the second I fell asleep in his arms. The build a bear box sits on the cabinet below the tv until I decide I'm ready.

"What are you doing?" Mattia walked in with a smile.

"Thinking," I said as he rubbed his hair with the towel.

"What about? I fucking hope it's me," He smiled and put the towel in the basket and jumped onto the bed, landing on me.

"Of course it's you," I chuckled as he rolled off me and laid beside me. I put my head on his chest and he played with my hair.

"I sorted out your bodyguard. His name's Nico, I think you'll like him," He said quietly. I nodded. "I know you don't want one but it's important to me that you have one because I can't be here all the time. I have to work and I need to know that someone is protecting you," He sighed. I nodded. "Talk," He whispered.

"I would just rather be glued to your side," I whispered and looked up at him.

"You're so confusing," He whispered with a smile.

"How so?" I whispered.

"The box is still sealed," He shrugged, making my
head move in the process and chuckling as I got myself comfortable again.

"Well, you said to open it when I'm ready. I don't know yet," I whispered. "But how does that make me confusing?" I asked as I got up and sat on his stomach.

"Just does," He smiled as I held onto his hands. He suddenly lifted his arms above his head, my hands in his, pulling me and making me fall. He groaned as my forehead hit his. My eyes began to water from the shock of the pain as I slowly sat up. "If that went to plan, your lips should've landed on mine," He chuckled, embarrassed. "Oh no, don't cry," He pouted and sat up, moving me backwards onto his lap and hugged me tightly and softly kissed my forehead. "All better," He whispered after repeatedly kissing it. I wrapped my arms around him and melted into his chest. "I love you, y/n," He whispered and kissed the back of my neck before resting his head against me as a smile formed on my face.

"I have to work," He groaned as he dragged me. I was wrapped around his leg as he tried to leave me. "Nico, pull her off me," He snapped and my eyes filled with tears. He sighed as Nico failed. He bent down and pulled my arms off and pulled me up and hugged me. "I love you y/n," He whispered and squeezed me. "But I want you to spend the day pissing off Nico, I want to hear him complain about how annoying you are, okay?" He whispered. I smiled a bit and nodded. "I'll see you later, I love you, call me if there's an emergency, you have money and food and cars and dogs, you'll be fine," He said and cupped my face and then let go and went to walk off. I frowned. He got to the car before letting out a laugh and turned around and ran back, grabbing my face. "Forgot something," He whispered before kissing me. "I think I've got everything now," He smiled and walked off again. I couldn't help but smile as I walked into the house as the car drove off.

"No, y/n, that's not how to play Chess!" Nico snapped for the 10th time. "You can't take my king off the board," He sighed.

"But I want to play it so it's the first person to get all of the other people's things off the board," I giggled. He groaned again and I used my arm to wiped his out and smiled before standing up.
