LA MIA MELODIA

CHAPTER 19

Niccolo drives me to the bakery, then gets out and opens my door for me. Ohh chilvary isnt dead hehe. I get out and thank him. He looks at me for a minute. Should I hug him? Kiss on the cheek?

Before i can think any farther, he leans in and kisses my head. I blush.

"Ill pick you up piccolo, what time do you get off?" he asks me.

"You dont have to though" i tell him.

"Im picking you up, what time?" he asks again and i huff.

"Im done at 4" i tell him and he nods, kissing my head once more before asking me to go in. I do.

I start with my baking with a weird giddy feeling in my chest.

~

Im done with work, its almost 4 and im just switching shoes and putting up my hair. I walk outside to take in the breeze while i wait.

Lunch was fun with Alaia i told her about my whole situation, and all she had to say was "we're going to be sisters in law". I swear she is loco. I see Mario walking up and i smile at him.

"Ciao Ariaa" he sings and i laugh.

"hi Mario, youre in a good mood" i say.

"Sì, i actually wanted to-" he is cut off by a loud car honking. I look to see its Niccolo.

"oh, sorry Mario, i have to go, ill hang around tomorrow so we can talk?" i ask him and he nods. I go to the car and get inside. "hi" i say to the big man. lol.

"hi" he says in a tone like hi isnt normal. "Who was that?" he asked me.

"Oh thats Mario, he's also a pastry chef, he has the second shift, starts after mine" i tell him. He nods. "Why did you want to pick me up?" i ask him. Ive been curious all day if there was a reason.

"No reason, i was uh, free and didn't want you to walk." he says. I aww. "Dont do that" he says and i giggle.

"Can i play music?" i ask and he nods. The rest of the time we listen to my playlist till we reach my apartment. "do you wanna come up?" I ask him as my hand is on the handle.

"No, i have work, you take care" he says. I smile and nod and mumble a bye.

Im catching feelings i can tell. I just hope he is too.

I change out of my dress and start on dinner. Im hungry.

NICCOLO'S POV

Around 8 i get home and walk straight to dinner. I sit down after greeting everyone.

"Nick, how come you weren't home last night?" i hear Alaia say in a teasing tone. I look up quickly to see a smirk on her face. Man, it hasn't even been 24 hours how does she know already?

"I was at my penthouse in the city Laia, why" i ask coolly. She grins and starts giggling.

"I was doing so goodd" she whines. "Noo".

"Doing what?" Papa asks her. I swear to god if she spills-

"Aria was with Nick last night" she grins suggestively. I roll my eyes hearing sounds of surprise.

"Oh! I love her, finally a girl he likes thats not a tramp!" mama squeals to zia. Oh god.

"It wasn't like that, she was unwell, i took her to my place because hers was farther away and she looked tired" thats bullshit i could've taken her to hers.

"Okay son, just be careful sì, she's a nice girl" papa says. I roll my eyes and shove some steak into my mouth.

Im in my office, in the house, working when my phone rings.

"Giovanni?" i ask.

"capo, i russi hanno invaso Kyle corp. sono nell'edificio, il signor David Kyle chiede aiuto immediato, suo padre è nell'edificio." He says.
(boss, the russians have invaded Kyle corp. they are in the building, Mr. David Kyle is asking for immediate help, his father is in the building.)

"che cazzo?" I spit. Fucking Russians. "va bene, manda le tue truppe che voleranno dentro" i say to him. Fuck.
(ok ill fly out soon)

I walk into Aless's office and tell him awesome fucking news.
