Vince

chapter 2

I prepared dinner as two strong arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me against a hard torso. „There she is", a soft kiss placed on my neck, „my beautiful.." another one on my cheek „...beautiful fiancé" a last kiss in the corner of my mouth.

His presence sent chills down my spine, as Nick spinned me around and tucked me into his arms. I buried my face in his chest, letting out an exhausted sight.

It was incredible how just his being was calming me down and took weight and stress off my shoulders. „How was your day babe?", he asked while giving me a final forehead kiss. „Exhausting; Uni is stressing me out, we ran out of milk and the grocery store was already closed but I need it for d-"

Nick looked trough his phone and interrupted me: „Amaya you are studying what? Wedding planning?" „Business Management actually"
„Yea whatever, you should quit anyway if it's stressing you out. You don't have to study I can take care of us."

„Nick we talked about this multiple times..I want to be independent." He put his phone down, so harsh I could hear his display crack, before stepping closer to me, wrapping his arm around my waist again. Rough this time.

„Babe you don't have to be independent okay?", a soft kiss on my neck; „You have me, let me take care of it.", now a kiss on my collarbone.. „I'll go and take a shower, are we eating on the terrace today?", the question appeared faded as he already walked out the kitchen.

I did not border to reply since he couldn't hear me anyways. I just continued cutting the vegetables as I thought back..

I opened the door and there he was. Smiling at me like I was the first thing he saw in color; „wow you look beautiful!" „thank you" a shy smile on my part. I felt seen, for the first time ever a boy gave me the feeling to actually see me, hear me..pay attention to me.

I sat in the back of the library, looking trough my notes and preparing for my upcoming exam, as another muffled moan broke my concentration. „Ugh can't he just-", I let out a sight but interrupted myself by getting up and moving towards one of the bookshelf's behind me.

„You can't be serious!". I could see his dark eyes rolling back, as he leaned back and wiped a hand above his mouth. „Jealous Maya?", a smirk took place in his face.

Vince Santo or how I liked to call him; Mister know-all, kneeled on the floor, between the legs of some college girl and currently looked up at me with lazy eyes.

He was by far the most annoying man walking on this planet, he was deeply conceited, petty and convinced he could do everything, when he surely couldn't even walk straight, if he hadn't sold his soul to the devil.

„Not even in your wildest dreams Vince. You know that some people in this library want to study more than the female anatomy?!" He replied with a small laugh; „It's not on me that you need to study to keep up with me in Wilson's Course."

„Keep up? You are good princess but I am better." His smile dropped as well as his hand from her leg. He gave her an annoyed glance and told her to leave us alone. Which she did what the fuck? She adjusted her skirt and walked away like he hadn't been mad disrespectful.

He stood up and immediately towered over me. Why did he have to be 6'5 feet?! Having the upper hand in our discussions was hard, when I was roughly 12 inches shorter. „Princess? Really?" his cold eyes, the unreadable impression in his face, his vibrating dark voice-his presence made me feel so uneasy.. I decided to turn around instead of replying.

As I returned to our table Melissa smiled at me and asked: „Destroyed his day?" „Unfortunately not enough", I replied trying to concentrate again.

The exam honestly stressed me out, since a big part of my mayor was depending on it. I'd been studying for six to nine hours every day for weeks and felt like I hadn't even time to breathe. I just wanted to go home to Nick, lay in his arms and take some time to relax.
