Deceptive Love

~ Twenty Three ~

"So Mia are you going to tell me anything about yesterday night?"

I smiled as I started scrunching up my wet hair so it turned into my natural curly hair. I smiled and said, "nothing happened it was just a boring old ball."

"What do you mean boring old ball, you're lying to me."

I don't think I want to tell Cathalina about what happened I mean I feel like she'll just freak out and I don't know.

Cathalina stood up from the bed with a 'oh no you didn't look' and said," you're lying to me. Mia I can tell when something is happening."

Flip me...

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No."

"Yes."

And then my mouth just spoke without me thinking and I said as fast as possible, "I kissed your brother."

Cathalina's jaw dropped and she asked in confusion, "actually?"

I furrowed my eyebrows and nodded. She let out a sighed as she sat back on the bed and said, "I thought it was going to be something worse."

My heart halted as I placed the towel on my chair and asked, "so you're not mad?"

Cathalina laughed, "no I'm actually happy, I was kinda concerned that I've never seen you like anyone you know."

I sarcastically stated, "oh thanks."

Cathalina stood up and urgently said, "but if he breaks your heart or breaks whatever the hell you two are I will snap his neck with my own bare hands."

"Ok Cathalina hold up, it was nothing I promise the kiss, it was platonic."

"Uh-huh."

"It was."

Cathalina was about to say something as she threw a blue floral sweetheart Midi dress as she said, "get changed out of your robe and meet us downstairs, we're going to go taste some wines at the vineyard for the wedding."

I smiled and said, "actually!"

Cathalina nodded and said, "hurry..."

I put my curly hair in a half up half down. Doing minimal makeup and putting on minimal gold jewellery and the long floral dress. 

I started walking downstairs my wedge heels hitting the ground lightly. I walked downstairs and found the whole family here. Everyone in their usual attire. But I saw everyone but Nico. Amara looked at me and said, "you look beautiful."

"So do you Mrs Santino."

"Thankyou darling."

Amara was talking to me about my future and if I've ever thought about doing anything but nursing. All that stuff. Then Dominic stood next to me and asked if he could speak to me about something so I followed him into the kitchen. 

Dominic stood at the island pouring himself a water as he asked, "how have you been liking your stay?"

"I've been loving it." Dominic smiled his dark blue eyes settle down on me. 

Then Dominic said, "you're really pretty Mia."

I said so softly, "thankyou."

I looked down as my hands rested on the bench. Then I heard Dominic say, "When someone tells you you're pretty you keep your head up and you speak loud enough to confirm to the person that you know you are."
