Deceptive Love

~ Thirty Five ~

My hand lays against his soft chest as his chest heaves up and down. Nico looks so handsome and peaceful. I can't believe what happened yesterday. A small smile couldn't help but form on my face. I circled my fingers on his tan bare chest. I finally get to have a good look at some of his tattoos. One tattoo was printed above his chest. In tiny writing but not too tiny. I circled my fingertips  following the letters as it said,"l'onere è potere (Honour is power)." Nico's low voice jumped my heart as he said in a sleepy morning voice, "honour is power, my mum told me that when I was 7."

I rested my face on his chest as I looked at him. Nico played with the ends of my hair. I asked, "your mum seems like a wise person."

Nico held my stare and a glint of pain flashed through his eyes. "She was, she would've gotten along with you. She would've loved you."

I smiled. Nobody in this world should go through that pain at such a young age. I lifted myself as I sat up my hand supporting the sheet at my bare chest. I winced. Oh god the pain. Nico smiled I asked, "what?"

Nico sat up and leaned closer to me. The sun hitting his beautiful features making his dark hazel eyes turned into this lovely light hazel colour, filled with emotions any emotions. A smile tugged on the corner of my lips as Nico lifted his hand to cup my cheek I leaned into his warmth. Nico's low sleepy voice made me slightly shiver in it's gentleness, "Miss Monroe, cosa mi stai facendo? (what are you doing to me?)"

I smiled and whispered, "I don't know Mr Santino, you're gonna have to figure that out..."

Before I knew it Nico leaned in and kissed me softly. I wrapped my free hand and played with. his hair. Nico cupped my cheek tighter. Nico slowly pulled away and said, "I'll make breakfast."

"Why don't we stay in bed the whole day."

Nico smiled and said, "I want to take you somewhere..."

Nico got out of bed and...wow...just wow... it's just that his ass is better than Chris Evans ass. I really didn't lie when I said to him last night that he had a nice ass. Nico slipped on some black Calvin Klein boxers and a pair of trackies. I should probably stop staring. I got up and wrapped the bed sheet around me as I walked into the bathroom.

I took a shower and got dressed into an emerald floral green dress and placed my hair into a messy low bun Throughout that whole time I couldn't stop smiling it's like I was addicted to it. I applied my normal makeup and did the other necessities needed before heading downstairs to see a working Nicholas in the kitchen. Nico was now wearing black pants with a white dress shirt that was unbuttoned at the top. 

Omgoshh he was making waffles and he had blueberries and strawberries. Omgoshh I'm in... No too soon I mean I'm in love with his food but I like Nico. Oh god what am I saying. 

"Wow now I see Nicholas Santino the mafia boss in a new light."

Nico met my eyes scanned my body and smiled and said, "and I met a new Mia Monroe last night in bed, just returning the favour."

I let out a small laugh as I walked to the kitchen island and grabbed a plate of food saying, "thankyou." I sat on the stool opposite Nico and asked, "so are you going to tell me where we are going?"

"Nope, it's a surprise."

I raised my eyebrows, "okie dokie then."

Nico let out a low laugh as he repeated to himself under his breath, "okie dokie..."

I cut some of the waffles and ate them and  he amazed me once again, these have to be the best waffles I've tasted. "Omgoshh this is amazing, you and Bryce should do a cook off. I bet you would win because these are so good."
