KIIARA
❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉
It's been 3 days since Nile knocked on my door. He stayed with me this weekend and worked from home.

I believe he completed most of the work when I was gone because when I come home, he gives me his undivided attention and cooks dinner with me.

It's currently 8 am on a Sunday, and while I kept a sleeping distance between Nile, he crawled into my bed at 2am ( with my permission) and splayed his huge arm on my stomach, nuzzling into me and slept.

I was stuck. Frozen.
How could he sleep so peacefully? I was shitting my pants at this feeling of him behind me, throwing me back to the times he would sleep with me at the mafia base.

I woke up to his body super close to me, his hand now underneath the pillow. His shirt was also nonexistent, his body very apparent as he was sleeping on his stomach, the hard ridges of his back muscles on full display for me. His hair fell a little above his eyebrow and displayed his soft features peeking through his arm.

I lay there watching him, analyzing him and how truly handsome he is.

His features were tan, brown, and sun kissed, the best of best Italian features were with him.

I reach over to skim my fingers across his hair, his soft breathing calming me.

He's so handsome.

After being a total stalker and admiring him, I move to get up and start my morning.

Right before I leave the bed I feel Nile's hand snake around to the front of my waist.
Lazily, he pulls me back.

"Where do you think you're going?"

I feel my cheeks go warm even though my back is faced to him. His hand on my stomach gave me butterflies.

"To the bathroom."

Instead of pulling me down to the bed, Nile inches closer till his head is touching my back.

"Not without me."

"You wanna go to the bathroom with me?", I ask.

"Are you gonna go shower?"

"Yes."

"Then yes."

I roll my eyes and turn over to face him.

"You're not showering with me."

His eyes were still closed and relaxed. "Why?"

"Because..I- I don't know. Just, no."

His eyes open and land on me. "Fine. But I'm still coming with you."

Rolling my eyes I get out of bed and quickly close the door on him and use the bathroom before he knocks.

I wash my hands and rinse water on my face, suddenly feeling self conscious.

"Kiiara", I hear from the other side.

I was too scared to open it.

"Kiiara."

Willing my fingers to move I open the door, his sleepy eyes hitting me.
