"What do you say, bellissima?"
"Stop calling me that, Arius."
"Over my dead body, wife."

"Move in with me."
.
"That is so nice of you. I just can't believe you'd let me in your house and not feel burdened by my presence. It's I-" I am cut off mid sentence by Arius.
"Hey-hey-hey, don't start now. You will never be a burden to me, Lucy. Do you understand that?" He asks, his tone leaving no room for arguments.
I nod.
"Words, blessima."
"Yes. I understand." I whisper. If he kept this up, I might actually start believing it.
"Perfect. Now, you will move in today only since we are practically engaged, ring, and all. I will send my men to pick your luggage and stuff up from your friend's house, if that's okay with you?" He brushes his fingers lightly with mine.
The touch sending shivers down my spine. I don't concentrate, I can't concentrate when he is looking at me like that, with so much hope and care. I know it's supposed to be fake But God does it feel so real.
"Blessima? Are you alright?" Arius asks, pulling me out of trance.
"Yes. I- I am okay with what you said." I mutter even though I have no idea of what he said.
His hands are now on my wrist. His calloused skin feels so good against mine. I dont make any attempt to pull away.
"Come here," he says, standing up all of a sudden.
I do as he says.
He motions his fingers towards me "closer," he says.
I shiver, goosebumps starting to raise. I come closer until I am engulfed in his scent. I breathe in his scent.
He opens his arms and looks at me expectedly. I stare blankly at him. I am too lost, too confused. Does he want me to hug him?
"Never hugged a guy before?"
"I- you want me to hug you?" I ask and curse myself under my breath for asking such a silly question. Obviously, he wants me to hug him.
I want that, too. I needed a hug so bad anyway.
So,I come closer and wrap my arms around his neck, his hands resting on my waist as I close my eyes and lean towards his chest.
Oh god, this feels so good. It is so healing. I never knew a hug could feel like this. I am at a loss of words.
"You are so warm, Lucy." He breathes into my hair.
I just nod and inhale.
Damn. I think I have found my favorite feeling ever. It's hugging him, definitely. Oh my.
A choked cough breaks us out of his warmth. "Oh no, keep going, guys. I am just a figment of your imagination. I don't actually exist." A guy dressed in black says as he walks towards Arius.
