Into oblivion

Touch

📚

As we near the cars it just doesn't feel right to leave without him, I can't.

Bringing the knife that was strapped to my thigh I twirl it around a few times as we inch closer and closer to the cars. When I'm close enough, I puncture it without making anyone even blink. The only issue now is that no one seems to be noticing the car that's visibly tilting to one side.

Donte moves to the side for me to step into the car, my body is half way in but the sound of Nicholas's voice reaching me pulled my body right out on it's own.

"Your tire is lose"

Before we were both in a dimly lit room so it was hard to see just how beautiful he was, but as he walks towards us my jaw must be all the way to the centre of the universe by now. I knew from day one he could pull of a suit, it was as if they were solely made just for him but fuck me ...... his curls are more defined, the black suit hugs his muscles perfectly showing of every curve and edge of his arms and torso. A silver ring hugs on one of his fingers making the whole look stand out even more, it's hard to breath let alone stand.

"I'll take her while you get that fixed, Max you're with us" when he's finally in front of me he stretches out a hand. I look over to Donte whose trying his best not to explode, he simply nods and I waste no more time in taking his hand.

"Which idiot forgot to check THE TIRES!" Donte yells through the massive garage.

He on the other hand holds me softly, resting his other hand on my lower back. A man opens the door for us and I step in first taking a seat, Nicholas follows after and the doors are shut in seconds.

"Have I mentioned how much I adore you?" he smiles facing me.

"Yes but do carry on"

"Thank you"

"Whatever for?"

He moves my dress out of the way letting the knife show on display. He taps it looking up at me, I don't know how he saw me do it because I myself didn't even get to blink before I punctured it.

He sits back as the car begins to move putting a hand on my thigh rubbing circles around my skin. It's been a while since he's done that but there's no way I'm stopping it, there's so much meaning in a touch, especially when the person you're with feels like the missing half of you. It's a feeling you never want to lose, it's a feeling that lingers onto your skin even when they leave.

2 hours later ;

"Mia" I slowly begin to open my eyes. I'm leaning against someone "hey, we're here" it's Nicholas, I was sleeping on him.

"Shit I'm sorry I didn't mean to fall asleep on you"

"You didn't, I pulled you into me"

I sit still, blinking at him.

"It didn't look comfy over there so I thought I'd fix that" he sends me a warm smile, the doors open and the night sky greets us with a cold breeze. As I step out I feel a jacket on me, when I spin to see who it is Nicholas just holds my hand and begins to walk inside the large building. It says something but I don't understand it.

"It say "family" " he says as he walks on but how the fuck did he know I was confused- either way the name is sweet.

"There's many Italian restaurants here, but this one has been standing here for decades, long before my own family was born"

"You've been here before?"

"Yes, long time ago"

I don't ask anymore question when I see there's a lot more behind that sentence of his, so I change the subject.

"Aren't you gonna be cold?" I ask as I pull his blazer closer around me.

"You'll take it off when we step inside, you'll see"

Start song now 🎧 ^^^

As we walk in, soft gentle music plays in the background and Nicholas was right. It's warm as hell in here, I take off the jacket he gave me and he takes it back smiling a "I told you so" smile which I only roll my eyes to.

"Ah il mio ospite preferito"
(Ah my favorite guest)

A man walks over greeting Nicholas with a hug. To my surprise Nicholas actually hugs the man back.

"molto tempo non vedo il mio amico"
(long time no see my friend)
the older man says. He has to be in his late 80s with his white beard and hair, it's hard to tell exactly though because with the way he's standing and talking it looks like he may even be in his 50s.

"lo so, è stato un paio di anni impegnativi mi dispiace" 
(I know, it's been a busy few years I'm sorry)
Nicholas replies, his language rolling of his tongue like soft cold butter, it's satisfying in a way where it drapes it's own blanket over your skin, pulling you in to listen to it forever. And I would. I would listen to him speak all sorts of words and phrases until I too would learn the language by just the time spent in admiration. The man smiles to whatever Nicholas just said until his eyes land to me. His smile gets even bigger as he begins walking over completely forgetting about Nicholas all together. It makes me chuckle a little.

"And who might this beauty be" His accent is thick but also so clear.

"Aldo meet Mia, Mia meet Aldo, a family friend"

"Mia is such a pretty name it suits you very much cara" (Dear)

I smile, taking in his soft features like I've known him for longer than the truth "Thank you, and it's very nice to meet you"

"Oh no the pleasure is all mine, Bane never brings any girls with him, you cara are the first I've ever seen here with him" he holds my hand in his and already I can tell he's a genuine person "come I'll show you to your tables, this way yes. I suspect this is a business meeting and not you surprising me with her" he walks us over the large space still holding my hand in his but Nicholas doesn't look in the least pissed off which calms me. Circular tables flood the large space with chairs surrounding them. It's all dark rich wood with hints of black making it look so elegant it's honestly breath taking, the only light sources are from the candles that are placed in every corner and table here.

"Allow me" he pulls out a chair for me and I smile as Nicholas rolls his eyes at him. I take my seat just as Nicholas does too.

"I'll be right back with the menu's"

I give him a smile as he runs off and I focus back on the man across from me.

"Trust me, if it was anyone else touching you I would've been feeding them their own hands" the light from the candles make his skin basically glisten. It's hard not to check him out especially when his white button top isn't exactly buttoned all the way exposing his skin a little "where are those pretty eyes wondering of to huh"

"You look handsome, I can't help it if my eyes wonder off from time to time"

He chuckles showing of his pearly white teeth, that image will forever live in my mind, I don't ever want to forget it.

"And you, well you always look beautiful Amore" he leans into the table setting his hand out for me. I meet him half way putting my hand in his, it's just as soft as all the other times. He holds me gently tracing his fingers against my palm staring into me.

There's so much to say but the words aren't coming out.
