Chapter: 14

**Aria Delaney**

Teasing Dante is like second nature to me. Stepping out of the car, leaving him hanging, was too good an opportunity to resist. "You didn't kiss me!" he huffed, his frustration evident. With a smirk, I sauntered back into the car, enjoying the little game we played.

Dante slid into the driver's seat, his irritation barely concealed. I decided to push his buttons a bit more, kicking off my shoes and flopping back against the door, stretching my legs across his lap. "I'm tired," I announced, knowing full well the effect it would have on him.

As we cruised down the road, my back started to ache, and I couldn't help but wince. "Damn," I muttered, rubbing the sore spot. Dante shot me a concerned glance. "Are you in pain?" he asked, his annoyance momentarily forgotten.

I nodded, and without missing a beat, he made an impromptu stop at a nearby pharmacy. When he returned, he handed me a little packet with a playful smirk. Inside was a fluffy stuffed bear, and despite my attempts to maintain my cool, I couldn't help but let out an "Awww" as I hugged it tight.

"I love him," I declared, grinning up at Dante. His mock jealousy over a stuffed toy was too adorable not to laugh at.

But Dante wasn't done yet. He had also bought a pillow, and as I placed it behind my back, feeling instant relief, I couldn't help but be touched by his thoughtfulness.

As we continued our journey home, with Dante driving and me lounging comfortably in the passenger seat, I couldn't shake the feeling that maybe, just maybe, there was something more between us than just playful banter.

I got inside the house running out of the car and forgetting the pillows and pills. "Alex!!!" I called and ran in the hall. "Yeah?" He said looking at me. "Guess what?!" I screamed.

 "What?" He said bored. The 4 guys were asleep on the sofa and the T.V was ongoing. Dante got in the hall and he switched off the T.V. "Me and Dante started dating" I said and smiled. 

"Great" Alex said and rolled his eyes. I heard voice upstairs. "It's better if you don't go upstairs as you are curious, cause it killed me and I can't remove that image from my mind" He said. "What image?" I asked. Dante and Alex both glared at me.

 "OH, Luna came home?" I asked. "Yeah, it's been 3 hours straight going on upstairs" Nemesis said and got up. "FOR REAL?!" I yelled. "Yeah" Chris said rubbing his eyes. 

"Did you guys prepare anything for dinner?" I asked. All of them stared at me like I was stupid or something. "I would love to have you for dinner" Dante whispered and only I could hear him. "Fine, Let's order" I said and rolled my eyes. 

"Then, I would like to have 2 hours up there and I might be done by 4 hours lower" Dante said thinking. "HUH!?" I said shocked. The boys started laughing. I blushed immediately.

 He laughed as well. I ordered food from the restaurants and it got delivered. I guess Luna will be hungry as well. I walked up the stairs. I could hear them.

 "UGH! DAMN! STOP!" I heard Luna. I knocked slowly. 

"Luna? Alessandro?" I called. "Yeah? You came home?" Luna said behind the door. "Oh god" I heard her in pain. "Food is ready" I called. "WA-Iihgdt" She said as something got stuffed in her mouth. 

"She isn't hungry" Alessandro answered her. "Oh, Are you hungry?" I asked.

 "No- AH! Damn you girl! why the nails!" I heard Aless. I got downstairs and I was blushing. 

"That could be me and you Bella, But trust me... I won't let you go until you start begging me" Dante whispered. 

"You gotta be sad cause that's not gonna happen anytime soon" I said and smiled at him. "I'll make you beg me to give it to you mia amor" He whispered.
