Deceptive Love

~ Nineteen ~

Mia POV:

Once Nico drove me home we split ways. God why did I kiss him and I'm not going to forget about his half apology. I tried to drain my thoughts out as I listened to music through my headphones my phone tucked into my blush pink sleep shorts. I was wearing a black sports bra. My hair propped in a messy bun. I decided to stop listening to music but to instead reread one of my favourite books. I'm in the mood. I was reading A Court Of Silver Flames by Sarah J Maas when my door flung wide opened. I instantly dropped my book onto the bed, took out my headphones and stood up. I saw Nico standing there, still in his casual outfit. He looked mad. 

What did I do now?

He walked over to me and said calmly, "Miss Monroe I'm going to ask you this one time what were you doing in my Father's office." 

"Nothing."

"Bugiardo."

Did he just call me a liar? Well I guess I am- No stand your ground Mia...

"Mia I saw the footage."

What am I supposed to say. He saw the footage...Oh well stuff it...

"I was curious."

Nico looked away and back to me and asked, "you were curious?"

I nodded and said, "I found my profile and found it funny so I took a picture of it and I was curious because I wanted to know who put all of our lives at risk and I was told to go find out who did it by myself."

Ok maybe I tweaked the story. But how will he know.

Nico whispered in my ear, "why are you still lying to me." Crap he knows. It's like I'm an open book.

I looked at him and said, "you have flippin trust issues I'm not."

Nico walked away from me and said, "fine."

"Fine."

Nico walked to the door flung it opened and said, "I'm telling my father."

No I needed more answers I can't live.

I ran up to Nico and stood in the way between him and the door saying, "please..I'll do anything." Thats stupid of me to say that, 'I'll do anything' saying that to a mafia boss is the definition of dangerous. Crap.

Nico then walked towards me. I moved closer to the hallway door my back hitting it. I looked at him in the eyes he was in control and that scared me the most. Nico's jaw flexed and he said, " Miss Monroe never give a man that much control."

I know.. I flipping know. 

I just looked at him hating him even more. I know it is stupid I don't know what I'm in for...but I need to stay here, first of all for my best friends wedding and second of all for the answers. Marcello knows something I don't.

Nico looked at me like he was either going to shout at me or he was going to kiss me. Nico said, "you're coming with me to the Convocation Ball Saturday night, you will be on my arm the entire night and will not complain."

Tonights Thursday, I have nothing, no dress.

"And If I don't."

Nico smirked and said, "you can say bye to Italy." It can't be that bad. It will only be for a few hours. God but it's Nico he will make the night like torture. I just wanted to slap that smirk of his stupid but handsome face. 

Just agree Mia and you'll stay. I said, "Tell me you won't tell anyone."

"85% sure I won't tell anyone."

"I don't have a dress."

Nico stood up straight adjusting his sleeves and said,"I already have a dress for you."

"100% or no deal."

"95% if you keep on my good radar."

My heart sank in defeat. Crap. I said,"fine deal, I'll attend the ball with you but you can't do anything but dance with me and talk to me."

Nico looked at me as he says, "amore I was never planning on doing anything other than torturing you, I mean who even said that we are going to dance or talk-"

I furrowed my eyebrows and said, "I thought-"

Nico started walking down the hallway and said, "Cathalina said that she's up to doing your hair and makeup and getting you ready."

I already have your dress... Cathalina said that she's up to doing your hair and makeup and get you ready.

OMG. Oh he's going to get Flippin put down.

I shouted from the other end of the hall,"you're blackmailing me you always wanted me to go to the ball, but you knew I would say no. God you stronza!"

Nico turned around walking backwards as held his chest like I just stuck an arrow in it as he said sarcastically, "yes because I need you so bad."

He turned around and walked down the hallway.
