Aaron- (Yours Loving Bully Sequel) (Old Version)

Chapter-3 Habit

Narrator's p.o.v-

They reached at Aaron's bachelor pad. It was located on the East of 63rd street at the upper east side of New York. The apartment was luxurious to say the least. The floors from 47 to 52 were all belonged to Aaron. One floor was occupied by his workers. He has his own personal gym, gaming area/zone, customized theatre and a large swimming pool.

Nicola never got the point of big houses for a single men especially for bachelors. She get it, Single rich boys needs their privacy but his demands for privacy was on another level. It doesn't make any sense to her as she shares the same floor with him.

She insisted on shifting to another floor but he was persistent and never allowed her to relocate.

Nicola sighed heavily when she finally entered in her room. She pick out a pair of pikachu sweats from her walk-in closet and quickly showered and changed.

She made her way to the dinning area where Aaron was already seated looking freshen up in his black sweats.

Aaron's lips tilted upwards on seeing Nicola walking to her seat looking lost in her thoughts.

Aaron knew her undying love for anime and cartoons  When Nicola came out of a coma and got discharged from hospital almost two years ago from now he had her whole wardrobe selected from various famous brands which included all of her favorite cartoons/anime printed t-shirts, sweats, pants, hoodies and even socks.

Nicola as usual protested but he was no ears to her objections. Not only that, he also had her room colorized and redecorated according to her taste. His apartment in itself screamed masculinity in different neutral colors. From expensive furnitures to antique carpets nothing had a feminine touch to it before.

But since the day Nicola stepped through his doors he did a whole of 180° and gave different shades of colors to every corners of his apartment. It still was very much neutral but not as dominating as it was before.

Aaron nodded his head to Mrs. Peterson who was patiently standing near by the table to serve them dinner.

It was the time of the day which Aaron enjoyed the most. To have a dinner with Nicola almost every night alone. Aaron couldn't miss it for the world. He used this as an opportunity to strike a conversation with Nicola.

He knew Nicola would be having no distractions at this hour and would  give him replies sincerely.

Every weekend he cooked themselves all three meals of the day. Nicola couldn't deny the fact that Aaron was one of the best cook much better than herself. She really enjoys his handmade biryani, chicken noodles, kimbap/gimbap and tiramisu.

Aaron has at least 6 servants and maids who lives in their assigned floors but Aaron never allowed anyone other than Mr. and Mrs. Peterson to fix their meals. At first she was way uncomfortable on asking him to make her breakfast, lunch or dinner whenever Mr. and Mrs. Peterson weren't home or on holidays. He himself would fixed them meals.

It took a lot of persuasion from Aaron to finally have Nicola openly asked him about making her favorite foods. Since she was banned doing any house chores she has no choice left but to ask him.

Eventually, Aaron makes it a habit and a custom to make food for them on weekends and when his cooks aren't home.

"Chlow, tomorrow is your appointment to see your doctor." Aaron reminded her. She looked up to meet his eyes while chewing her last bite.

"Yeah, i remember." Nicola nodded.

Nicola twist her left shoulder and wince slightly. Ever since she came out of coma Nichola's health hasn't been the same. Constant body pain and lack of rest had became her headache. She tried not to show it but the pain sometimes became too much to handle for her.

"Relax, keep breathing." Aaron was already behind her seat and began massaging her from her shoulders to her spine. She immediately stiffened under his touch.

"Aaron, No please. It's alright." Nicola lifted her hands and tried to stop him.

Aaron's once moving hands froze on her shoulders to keep her still.

"Don't worry, Chlow, I don't mind." Aaron again started doing his magic on her stiff muscles.

But i do. Thought Nicola

"I will call Mrs. Peterson. Please don't bother yourself." Nicola tried again.

Aaron's nostrils flared at her disapproval.

"I am sure Mrs. Peterson is busy doing her chores. I believe you shouldn't bother her since it's already night time. Plus, i am free and would love to help my friend as i assume she would do the same to me. Am i right, Chlow?" He yet again pulled his 'friends' card on her.

"Wouldn't you, Chlow?" He pressed further.

"Yeah." She agreed after awhile relaxing her muscles. She let out a defeated sigh.

"You do know i am always here for you, Chlow? I always thought we are way past that formalities bridge but looks like you don't even considered me as your friend. I don't know why but it actually wounds me." A cruel smirk featured on his lips when she suddenly grabbed his hands and gave a squeeze as if to assure him.

Nicola turned her neck around and look up to meet his heated gaze. His face was emotionless and nothing displayed on his facial features.

"You're my friend, Aaron. I am sorry if i made you feel sad or lonely. It's just that i..i uh..-" Nicola gaze and hands faltered in middle. She was having a hard time to console Aaron. She even herself wasn't sure if she actually wanted to feed Aaron those petty lines which she wanted to desperately sign just to make him feel better.

"No, Chlow. I know you love me as your friend. I just wanted to help you.!" Aaron said while rubbing circles on the sides of her forehead.

"Hmm." Nicola hummed almost immediately.
