Coming Back To You

~Nine~

Nicolo's POV

When I woke up, 6:30am, I asked the boys to come over today so we could play games, but Zach backed out for some reason and said he would be back later. I found that weird because he's never backed out of a game day with the boys before.

When they all arrived, we started playing games in my living room. And after 10 games of playing, I got a call from Zach.

"Hey man, what's up?" I asked

"Well, the reason I backed out on playing games is because I got some more info on Bella. I figured out she's started working at a cafe just down the street from her house."

"And why would you try to get more info on her?"

"So my mans can get her! You need to get her before Jake does at least"

"So do you want me to go to the cafe or something?"

"Yeah, I'll meet you there" He said and ended the call

After he ended the call, I told the boys I needed to leave, but they could keep playing and if they got hungry, they could have any snacks they wanted. Not that they need my permission to do that. They already do it.

It wasn't a very long walk to get to the cafe, so I got there in 7 minutes, and I saw Zach on his phone while some girls were flirting with him. There was a brunette and a blonde, though the blonde was rather familiar.

I walk up to them and when I see the blonde, my jaw clenched and my eyes hardened. Tatiana.

"Nico! I'm so glad you're here!" She said in her annoyingly high pitched voice and trash smelling perfume. And when she tried to link her arm through mine, I immediately pushed her away with one shove. She went flying to the ground and started crying fake tears. I just rolled my eyes. I didn't even push her that hard.

"Nico! Why would you do that?! I thought we were okay after last time!" She said still crying those fake tears. I swear she could be an actress at how fake she is.

"We were never 'okay' Tatiana, there was never an 'we' and there never will be. Now get off the ground and stop being a baby." I said, obviously annoyed.

"Why would you say that to me, Nico?" She said, sniffling

"Because I can." I said with no emotion in my voice

Just then, I turned to Zach and the brunette completely ignoring Tatiana.

He was completely ignoring her by being on his phone while she tried to get his attention.

"Finally you're done." Zach said, pushing himself off the pole that he was leaning against.

"Zaach, where are you going? Maybe I could come too?" The brunette asked, batting her eyelashes and talking in a high pitched voice that could make your ears bleed if you listened to it too much. Annoying like Tatiana. I thought and rolled my eyes internally.

"Yeah Nico, where are you going? I bet I would make better company than your friend." Tatiana said, butting in

"No. You can't come, Cecelia. You can't come either, Tatiana." Zach said, answering for both of us in an obviously annoyed voice.

"But whyyy?" They asked in unison. Disgusting. They're perfect for each other.

Just then, Zach came over to me and whispered in my ear.

"How about I take them to my house to keep them busy while you and your girl can have some time together?" Zach suggested

"Yeah, but how will you get Tatiana if she won't let me out of her sight?"

"Watch and learn my dear friend." He said while smirking

"Hey girls, why don't you come over to my house for some drinks and a movie?" The girls both squealed in excitement until Tatiana came up to me

"Aren't you coming with us, Nico?" She asked, batting her eyelashes and pouting her lips, but you wouldn't know that since she looked like she was constipated.

"Don't. Call. Me. Nico" I said through gritted teeth and an extremely low voice

"But why not baby? I know you like it." She said, trying to look cute. Key word 'trying'.

It was taking everything in me not to grab her by her hair and send her back to where she came from, which certainly wasn't heaven.

"You have 3 seconds to get away from me before I rip your extensions out." I said, getting angrier by the minute

"Three..." She didn't move, "two..." I sent her the nastiest glare that made her back up a little but still had her arms around my right arm, "one..."

But before I could do anything that she deserved, Zach pulled her away from my body to prevent her from getting hurt, which I don't understand since none of my friends like her at all, but he knows me too well. Once I get mad, you have exactly 5 seconds to run as fast as you can away from me.

"Why don't you forget about him, he has some business to take care of." Zach tried to convince Tatiana.

"Fine." Finally, some peace and quiet. I can finally go and see my girl without interruptions.

As they were walking towards Zach's house, I made my way in the opposite directions towards my angel.

Once I got there, the bells jingled around and then I heard her angelic voice.

"Welcome!" She said from behind the door behind the counter.

"Sorry, I'll be right with you." She said, opening the door

"What can I get yo–" She cut herself off. When she saw me, she sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Nick." She said with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Bella." I returned with a smirk

"What can I get for you today?"

"Well, I will get the mocha volcano cake." I said glancing up at the board above the counter.

"Okay, that'll be 7.49 lira, it'll be out shortly." She said, typing on the screen in front of her.

I paid, left and went to a table in the corner and just stared at her, admiring her beauty. Her brown wavy hair in a ponytail, her long hair reaching the high part of the back. Her nice, plump lips that were a lovely shade of pink.

She caught my staring and stared back for a few minutes and looked away and went to the back of the cafe.

After a few minutes, she came out with my order in hand and walked over to me.

"Here's your order." She said while she set the plate on the table. And that's when I noticed the bruise of her left wrist. I felt a wave of anger wash through me at the thought of someone touching her, let alone giving her a bruise. As she was leaving, I grabbed her wrist gently.

"What's this?" I asked genuinely concerned about it. Whoever thought that putting a bruise on my girl was strongly mistaken.

"Why do you care? You bullied me for 3 years straight." She said, and I felt a pang of hurt stab at my heart after hearing it.

"But to answer your question, some blonde girl that works here grabbed my wrist when I tried to walk past her. I don't know why, so don't ask me." She said as I let go of her wrist.

Another wave of anger washed over me but this one was much stronger than the last one because now I know who did it. I didn't even know that fake pick me worked, considering she brags about how 'rich' her daddy is.

I mumbled 'Tatiana' under my breath and I'm sure she heard since her face formed into one of confusion and disgust.
