I was startled awake when I felt a hand trail down from my shoulder and stopped at my waist. The warmth of the hand could be felt even with my warm blanket on.

I stirred in my sleep and shrugged the hand away from me mumbling weird things. But then I felt it tracing my face and pushing my hair back and I slapped the hand away with a groan.

Who dare disturb my sleep?

"Stop you pervert!" I mumbled and heard a deep chuckle and my eyes shot open. I panicked, and grabbed the hand suddenly and twisted it, pushing the stranger down on the bed with all of my weight and sat on top of him.

I first saw his pained expression and then focused on the face when my vision cleared.

"Nico!" I gasped and let go of his hand quickly but didn't get off of him, straddling him.

"What was that?" He asked me, frowning.

"I thought you were a pervert you idiot!" I said and a grin broke out on his face.

"You thought I was a pervert?" He said and I could hint the sarcasm in his voice when I rolled my eyes.

"It's not my fault you were touching me." I crossed my arms over my chest and he chuckled, suddenly flipping me over so he was on top of me, looking at me intensely.

"I'm going to kiss you now." He whispered, looking into my eyes.

"Oh, hell no." I said and flipped him over again so I was back on top, taking hold of his arms so he wouldn't be able to move.

"Why not?" He said.

"You can't threaten me one moment and then kiss me the next." I said narrowing my eyes at him and he scoffed.

"Yes I can." He said with a glare.

"No."

"Yes."

"Why?" I asked him.

"Because you're mine, amore mio." (My love) He said and I smirked.

"And it's my body, Il mio bellissimo ragazzo." (My handsome boyfriend.) I said and he smirked.

"Bel fidanzato?" (Handsome boyfriend?) He asked me and I grinned Just then my door shot open and my friends jumped into the room in a fighting stance.

"What happened? We heard trouble?!" Cole raised his fist towards us, his eyes widening when he saw us. My eyes widened in shock as I registered what was happening and Nico chuckled.

"She's a wild thing, this one." He said and I looked at him horrified, getting off from on top of him quickly and scrambling off the bed. He also stood up, fixing his shirt as if what happened didn't just happen.

"She practically raped me." Nico gestured towards me and I looked at him horrified.

"No I did not,  I thought you were a pervert!" I defended myself and looked at everyone in front of me.

But they all just stared at us with wide eyes while Cole and Dan snickered and when Ava slapped their arms, they stopped immediately.

My head snapped to Nico who stood with his hands in his pockets, calmly observing everyone and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Questo è grazie a te!" (This is because of you!) I told him and he narrowed his eyes at me.

"Colpa mia? Sei stato tu quello che mi ha saltato! Sono innocente!" (My fault? You were the one who jumped me! I'm innocent!) He said in disbelief and I scoffed.
