Chapter 51: Italy

Playlist for this Chapter: One Last Time by Ariana Grande.

* * *

We saw so many interesting and beautiful places, each one more beautiful than the last. Since were in Rome, we went to the Colosseum first and I was awed by its beauty and architecture.

I looked around like a kid at Christmas while Nico chuckled at my excitement. We even went to the Roman forum and I took pictures with Nico's phone since he had turned mine off after the whole 'fiasco' back home.

After going to a few more places, we settled down on a bench in a park and looked at the kids playing.

Some people eyed us wearily and stayed away from Nico, making a path for us to walk wherever we went. 

Maybe because of the security detail with us that glared at every passerby.

"Looks like the famous mafia king has returned." I nudged him and he smirked, showing his pearly white teeth.

"Where'd you hear that?" He asked me and I shrugged.

"Heard some street vendors talking about it." I said and he nodded, slipping his hand through mine as we walked back to the car after walking in the streets and the markets.

"How did you like everything today?" He asked me placing a hand on my thigh as we drove.

"I had a lot of fun and everything was so beautiful and pretty and so amazing. Thank you so much." I kissed his cheek and he shot me a lovely smile.

"How about dinner somewhere?" He asked me and I shook my head.

"Why don't we head home for now? We'll make something by ourselves." I told him and he smiled.

"Home?" He asked me and I smiled softly, placing my hand in his.

"Yeah, home."

The way home rolled of my lips so easily felt amazing. I could get used to this.

"Mmhm, let's go." He spoke, his lips skimming over my cheek as he led me to the car and we drove home. I saw Adriana and Stuart waking outside, hand in hand and she beamed when she saw me, pulling me in for a hug.

"Perché sei ancora qui?" (Why are you still here?) Nico asked them bluntly and I smacked his shoulder at the rudeness.

"Sii gentile, Nico." (Be nice, Nico.) I told him and he glared at me playfully while the couple chuckled at us.

"There was a problem at our place, so we're staying for one more night if that's okay." Stuart said and Nico grimaced.

"It's no problem." I smiled at them and Nico frowned.

"No." Nico said and I squeezed his arm.

"Yes."

"No. It's my house." Nico said and I stepped on his shoe discreetly but he squeezed my ass in return, making me yelp.

"Well, I'm here now." I said and he narrowed his eyes at me.

"Doesn't make it yours." He said and I smirked.

"Sure it does, sweetheart, you said it yourself, what's yours is mine. Come on, Adriana." I pecked his lips with a smug smile and tugged at her hand, both of us going in.

I could feel Nico's burning gaze on my back as we went in giggling. I looked back at him and saw him watching me intently as I winked at him before following Adriana.

"So, I'm going shopping tomorrow and you're coming with." Adriana told me as I plopped on the couch in her room.

"Why?" I asked her and she smirked.

"We're going clubbing tomorrow." She said and my eyes widened.

"Does Nico know?" I asked her and she shrugged.

"That's where you come in. You have to convince him. Tell him to come with, the guys will be there too." She said.

"Okay, I'll try, but I can't make any promises." I said with a pointed look and she squealed.

"Oh, I know you won't have a problem convincing him. That's why I asked you, he won't refuse." She said confidently.

"That's putting a lot of faith in me." I told her as I got up from the couch.

"Trust me, sweetheart, you have him wrapped around your pretty little fingers." She said and I smiled.

"I'll see what I can do. Ciao." I told her and left her room, heading towards Nico's. He was working on his laptop when I went in as I sat beside him.

"What are you doing?" I asked him, leaning my head on his shoulder.

"Work." He said and I traced my fingers on his knee and thigh.

"What are you doing?" He asked me amused and I smiled innocently at him.

"Nothing, just enjoying myself." I said and he smirked while typing something.

"Having fun without me?" He asked me but sucked in a sharp breath when my hand trailed further up his thigh.

"Looks like you're having fun too." I said and trailed small kisses up his sharp jaw. He closed the lid of his laptop and made me straddle him.

"What do you want?" He asked me and I grinned.

"A night out with my boyfriend." I said, tracing my finger down his jaw, his neck and then his chest. He held my hand suddenly and I looked at him.

"Where do you want to go?" He asked me, breathless.

Looks like its working.

"Hm..." I pretended I was thinking before smiling wide.

"The best club here. And can I invite a few friends?" I asked him when he eyed me suspiciously before smirking a bit.

"Adriana sent you, didn't she?" He asked me.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I said and bit my lip to hide the smile from spreading. His gaze darkened and he brought his mouth on mine, kissing me as if there was no tomorrow.

My hands found their way into his hair and I tugged at them, making him growl lowly. His tongue swirled in my mouth as his hands went up my shirt and cupped my breasts, gently squeezing them. I gasped when he bit my lip and pulled away panting, resting our forehead together.

"I've wanted to do that for a while now." He whispered and I smiled.

"So is that a yes to tomorrow?" I asked him and he nodded slowly and looked at me.

"And can I go shopping with Adriana too?" I asked him and he frowned.

"I'll come with but on one condition." He said breathing heavily.

"What?" I asked him through heavy lidded eyes.

"You let me kiss you like that again and fool around a bit and I'll take you anywhere you want tomorrow, deal?" He said, his thumb tracing my lips and I grinned.

"Deal." And with that he kissed me furiously once more and lifted me up, throwing me onto the bed.

He threw off my clothes and took off his shirt, kissing my skin and burying his face between my legs.

And what happened after that you ask? Honestly, even I don't remember, it's all moaning in ecstasy and blurry visions from then onward.

I think I'm liking these deals.
