HIS

Chapter 11

Olivia's POV

I woke up from a good night's rest even though I was sleeping on a couch, it was very comfortable. I woke up somewhere during the night and the tv was off with my head on Domenico's chest in the dark living room all warm and comfy. I was too tired to change positions and just closed my eyes, going off to dreamland again. Being cuddled up next to someone felt so good, as if it is the way it should've been all along.

He's such a nice guy and from what he told me about his ex-girlfriend I could understand why he became this negative about relationships with women. Even under that hard exterior he showed me, his true self. I would give her a good smack if I saw her, just because of how hurt he looked mentioning it.

I like him, I won't deny it and I've never been a coward about my feelings toward people, but I am just scared of all the first feelings I'm experiencing being in his presence. He is experienced with women and I don't have any experience with men and when it comes to relationships or friendships with men. I don't want my hopes and heart to be shattered because I was stupid falling for a man that could get any women he wanted. What if he is playing me?

I Woke up and saw him entering the room from a side hallway, probably the kitchen because it smelled divine. He informed me of my drooling and to say I was embarrassed, was an understatement. He doesn't seem to care but though.

I loved his hugs because I was deprived of it basically my whole life. I got one earlier when he pulled me up for breakfast. I never knew how much i missed affection. Maybe because I only got it from my mother when she was alive and that was fifteen years ago. I went upstairs and took a very quick shower and came down to eat breakfast. If this is how he will treat me for the rest of my days I would definitely consider being in his life a little longer. We finished our breakfast and headed to his office so I could catch up on schoolwork. I requested my work to be sent to me from my professors in order to stay ahead, I have to keep my good marks to retain my scholarship.

I am able to use my hand now and it feels so much better even though it is still felt a little tender. I still keep it in a removable hand cast though.
After working for some time, I agreed to go with him to his office. I gawked at his car it is such a beautiful thing. He gave it to me while we argued as we drove to the office. What he does not know is that I will not take it even though he demands that I should.
We reached the office, and my phone started to buzz. I told Domenico to go ahead as he was in a hurry and that I will catch up with him. He was a little hesitant but went ahead eventually.

Might as well get the call with a million questions over and done with "hi Mia" I said, as I answered Mia's call.

"Girl, where are you hiding? I called Monday because I didn't see you on campus and your boyfriend said that you are sleeping and that you guys were out of the country. Why weren't we informed of you having a man in your life?"

This girl loves to ramble "yeah, we took a quick trip to Canada to visit his friends and family that side, but we are back now but I'm resting at home and will be back on Monday. Your gift is in my apartment but I will also give that then because I'm staying with Domenico until Monday morning. How did the move go? I'm so sorry for missing out on that" I say, rambling back.

"No don't stress about the move, Paige and Jessica helped us move in and packed everything away so that is sorted now" she answered, making me roll my eyes at the mention of those two, but I decided to not question her about them.

She then continued with her rambling "also, before I forget to mention your boyfriend is gorgeous and you never told us that you had a boyfriend. Is there a reason?"

"I'm sorry about that it's just that we wanted to keep everything quiet. He is a very private person" I tell her.

"Hey Mia, I've got to go now, we'll chat later, ok?" I say, trying to end the call without having to discuss Domenico and I any further.
