Unraveling Secrets

Chapter 69

Nova

After a couple tense seconds I decided that it was probably best for me to get out of the bed. There is no way I would be able to go to sleep now anyway, plus I am just a little bit confused. I mean I am just a girl.

As I started lifting myself from the bed two arms wrapped around me pulling me back down. "Now where do you think you are going." Andres whispers into my ear.

"Umm I don't know. I am awake now so I should probably get up." I say sitting in a semi awkward position. 

"Nova." Andres says on the stricter side.

"Yes?" I question with an innocent smile.

"You know how I feel. I didn't tell you to lay with me because I was loopy from any medications. I am fully awake right now telling you nothing has changed."

"And what exactly is it that hasn't changed?"

"That I want you." He tells me without breaking eye contact. "That I want to be with you. I saw you that first night at that fight. I didn't know it was you, but I knew I wanted to know who that person was. And then when I met you? I had that same feeling, but I thought it was weird I was having that for two different people. But it isn't two different people, it is just you. I have seen you in action as every version of yourself, well unless your holding out on me and you got another secret identify up your sleeve... you don't, right? Not that that wouldn't be cool-"

I let out a laugh. "No, no I don't. But if I did do you really think I would come out and admit it?"

He smirks. "No, no you wouldn't." He says.

"Do you got any secrete ones I don't know about?"

"No. Nothing gets passed you." He says.

"That is true." I say with a smile on my face. Andres leans in and when his lips meet mine I let out a content sigh. I never thought I would feel to relaxed and at home over just a kiss, but this boy be doing something to my insides.

When I pull away I try to get up again and laugh when he whines and pulls me back.

"I thought we went over this." 

"A girl needs food. And this girl in particular really needs food." I tell him.

"Did you eat last night?" He asks.

I think for a moment and realized that lying would be a good way to start this rel- thing we have going on. "No." I say.

"Why?" He asks with pinched brows. 

"Cause I was worried." I mumble and I see a smirk take over his face.

"Sorry what was that?" He says with a hand on his ear. "I don't think I heard you."

"You are such an asshole." I say looking away.

"Okay okay. Well then lets get you food." He says and when I go to stand up this dude doesn't let me get up again.

"Andres. Let me up." I say.

"I said let's get you food. I technically am not allowed out of this bed yet. Soooo we are going to order room service." 

"Room service? Where are we? A hotel?" I scoff.

"We will make due." He says before reaching over to grab the call thingy. I never knew what those were called.

Soon enough a whole buffet looking thing is brought into the room. I was going to question it but then remembered everyone's name and how they are rich. 

"Oooo is that a wrap!" I exclaim. "Don't mind if I do." I say reaching over the other food. Andres laughs next to me looking at the options before settling on a small yogurt. 

We eat in silence and then 5 minutes later the door burst open and a laughing Elio and Jax comes walking into the room.

"Jax?" I question.

"Hey!" His Hey slowly dies down when he sees me in Andres's bed. I take it Elio didn't fill him in. His eyes widen and he turns towards Elio almost wondering if he is going to have to try to fight a mafia man, but when he sees Elio's semi relaxed expression his face turns confused.

"I really am gonna struggle to get used to that." Elio says. "No offense."

"What. The. Actual. Fuck did I miss." Jax says.

"Your welcome by the way. I wanted to tell him, but I figured I wouldn't snoop as low as you and be a total friend snatcher, so I waited so we could both tell him!" Elio says.

"Angelo!" I yell.

He gasps. "You haven't called me that in forever!"

"Yeah well desperate times call for desperate measures." I huff. I understand it was a joke, but everything is still fresh so it does sting a bit. But I understand he didn't mean it in any rude way.

"Can someone fill me in?" Jax says.

"Okay let me start. Toni woke up to see Andres and Nova sleeping all cuddled up lovey dovey. And then he woke the rest of us up!" Elio says. "Nova did you want this next part or did you want me to keep going?" He asks.

"You can take the wheel." I say. "You seem more excited about it then I do." 

"I need to sit down for this one." Jax says coming over and trying to ruffle my hair which I quickly stop, before sitting down in the chair I was sitting in last night.

"Just know that in the end none of this is my fault." I say before pointing to Andres. "It's his."

"You know what, I will take full credit for that." He says like he is proud.

"Now think of Toni's face when he walked out of the room."

"Okay I will admit that needs a lot of working, but I am still taking credit."

"You are so weird." I say.

"And yet you sit with me in the bed."

"You are holding me hostage! Every time I tried to get up you grabbed me." I say and Elio sends a glare to Andres. 

"If you really wanted to get up we both know you would." He says, and he really has a point there. I roll my eyes and turn towards Jax who is looking at me with a raised brow. "Shut up." I say to him.

"I didn't say anything!" Jax says.

"You don't have to, I know you."

"Can we get back to the story now." Elio says.

"Sure Elio, have your storytime." I say.

"Well when you say it like that I sound like a kid."

"I am not gonna comment on that." I say leaning back into Andres. His hand wraps around my waist and I listen to Elio tell Jax the current worst moment of my life, that I will hopefully laugh at someday. I feel Andres place a kiss on the top of my head and I let out a sigh. 

Maybe this will be good for me.
