Chapter 18: Cuteness Overload

He said let's get out of this town

Drive out of the city

Away from the crowds

I thought heaven can't help me now

Nothing lasts forever

But this is gonna take me down

He's so tall, and handsome as hell

He's so bad but he does it so well

I can see the end as it begins, my one condition is

Say you'll remember me

Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe

Red lips and rosy cheeks

Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams

Wildest dreams

Nicolas looks at Adriana's flustered face and she shot her back a deathly glare. "Mamma wouldn't be so happy when she found out my son is learning some words from us that-"

"Mommy, I always hear that from nonno." Nicolai butted in cutting off Adriana.

Nicolas shrugged his shoulder and he turned his attention back to his son. "It's another way to say or show your love." Nicolas responded a bit unsure and Nicolai seemed to be satisfied with his dad's answer. Nicolas never felt so stupid before until today.

"Really? That's the lamest answer I've ever heard." Adriana frowned at him, as she tried to tone down her voice.

"Do you have any?" Nicolai's comeback mimicking her tone, thrusting his eyebrow.

Nicolai made a face before he spoke. "Nonno must have love that car so much. He always say, fuck, fuck, f-"

"Yes, honey. But we'd rather say love." Adriana explained stopping her son from repeating the word. "They only used that as an expression. And- only for adults." Adriana continued on, trying to make a little sense to her curious son.

"It sounds cooler than love, mommy." He responded amusingly as he grinned and Nicolas chuckled lightly. Adriana glared at Nicolas, and Nicolas stifled his laughters. "It's catchy." Nicolai mumbled, then he yawned leaning back to his car seat. He looks out the window and fell in silence again.

Adriana face Nicolas again. She can't agreed to his terms. She needs to make her terms too.

"I need to work too Nicolas, I can't just stay home." Adriana began and Nicolas shot her a cold look. "If you don't want me to be your secretary, then I'll have to find another job." She continued on ignoring his warning stare.

Nicolas' face disgruntled showing displeasure. "Don't test my patience moro mou."

Adriana started to hate him again. She's not his, and she's going to do what she wants.

"I will find a job and you can't do anything about it." Adriana grit her teeth.

"Don't put anyone's business into destruction moro, because I will if I had to, just to keep your ass locked in our house." Nicolas stared at her sapphire orbs with anger, scowling at her.  "I want to go home with my son, and you, waiting for me everyday." He stated, with his eyes softening at the last words.

"Oh God, you're so impossible!" Adriana cried out as she grit her teeth, clenching her hands in frustrations and anger. Her frowned deepened.

"Daddy, why mommy is so upset?" Nicolai asked and Nicolas stiffened.

"Mommy is not upset, honey." Adriana told her son, but his frown indicates that he's not believing her.

"Yes you are, mommy. You were looking to daddy with angry face." Nicolai remarked and Nicolas looks at his son and smiled.

"Mommy was just tired and she was begging daddy to cuddle her. Daddy can't cuddle mommy in the limo, people can see it." Nicolas grinned wickedly and Adriana's face flushed crimson as she looks at Nicolas incredulously.

Why does she have to talk to this pea-brain nuts?

Nicolai giggled and his eyes was shining with innocent happiness and amusement.

"Then cuddle her daddy." Nicolai innocently demanded Nicolas and he smiled and nodded. "It's okay mommy, daddy can cuddle you. I want to cuddle you, but I can't move." Nicolai said sweetly as he looked down on his seatbelt restraining him from getting off his car seat and Adriana's heart melted. How she love her son dearly.

"Oh, it's fine honey. Mommy is fine." Adriana smiled to Nicolai. "I love you honey," Adriana said sweetly and Nicolai smiled.

"I fuck you, mommy." He responded innocently, smiling sweetly. He shifted his gaze out of the limo window, guileless.

He just did not use that and replace love with fuck.

Nicolas burst into laughters while Adriana's face turned beet red and shock filled her albeit a part of her wanted to laugh, but this is serious. What if it was her mother? Or Nicolas' parents? Or someone else?

It's going to be a hell of embarrassment.

Oh God, I'm going to age ten years everyday.

"Really, you found that funny?" Adriana spat at Nicolas, but he just laughed. Nicolai turned his attention back to his father and joined him laughing, even if he doesn't have any idea what his father was laughing about.

Adriana watch her son and Nicolas laughing like a twins and her heart  swelled with pride. She had forgotten what her son just said to her and just relish the sight before her eyes.

Nicolas saw how Adriana looked at them both and he felt the same. He pulled her to his side with his hand drape around her and Adriana didn't protest. He pressed his lips on one side of her forehead and Adriana leaned her body against his side.

Shortly, the limo pulled in front of the hotel and Nicolai couldn't wait to get off.

"Daddy, this place is so huge and beautiful." Nicolai commented as he wriggled in his seat, while Nicolas helped him unbuckling his seatbelt.

"This will be yours when you grow up." Nicolas exclaimed proudly to his son.

"Really daddy? This is going to be mine?" Nicolai repeated with his eyes widening in surprised and excitement.

"Yes, son." Nicolas chuckled and ruffled his son's hair before scooping him out of his seat and placing him back on his feet. He quickly scurries to the entrance door and the guard swiftly opened it for him.

Nicolas snake his hand around Adriana's waist and followed their son.

Adriana felt overwhelmingly happy when Nicolas hold her possessively. As they walked into the grandeur lobby, all eyes were glued to us. Envy, curious, and happy faces shooting at us.

Nicolai was talking to one of the receptionist and Nicolas was smiling, which stunned most of the stuffs since they heard that Nicolas Petropoulis never smiled. He always wears his signature brooding look.

"Daddy said, this will be mine when I grow up." Nicolai told one of the staffs and the young receptionist smiled widely, with her eyes staring at him with  adoration. Who wasn't?

"And you're going to be a very good owner, just like your dad." The young lady said and Nicolai bobbed his head in agreement and he giggled happily.

He's so handsome and bubbly. Just his sight could melt any heart and swoons at him even at his very young age.

Adriana remembered whenever they go shopping or anywhere. They always gets compliments on how gorgeous, handsome little guy he is. And every time, Adriana's heart blossomed and swelled with delight and happiness. Indeed, she's lucky to have a son like him.

Finally, when Nicolai was tired running around and talking to the guest and the staff in the lobby, he came back to their direction and Nicolas picks him up.

Nicolas kisses his chubby cheek and hold him tight, but with gentleness.

"Daddy, can we live here? This place is awesome." Nicolas told his dad as he trace his fingers on the neckline of his shirt.

"We can son, but daddy, you and mommy has to fly to Greece where nonna and nonno Lachesis are. They are already back in Greece, since nonna has an emergency call." Nicolas explained and Nicolai was intently listening.

"Where is that, daddy? Is it far?" Nicolai asked and Adriana smiled. Nicolai was always curious.

Adriana and Nicolas stepped into the empty elevator and she punch the top floor.

"It is son, that's why we will fly tonight. You will be flying with daddy's private plane and it's going to be your plane too when you grow up." Nicolas exclaimed proudly and Nicolai's eyes bulged. He looks extremely surprised with his face etched enthusiasm as he curled his hands around Nicolas' neck.

"Yes." Nicolas smiled.

"Can we go now daddy?" Nicolai asked impatiently as he wriggled on Nicolas' arms.

"Not yet, son. Daddy has to make a lot of phone calls, let the pilot know we are leaving tonight." Nicolas explained and Nicolai pouted looking unhappy.

"Put me down, daddy." Nicolai demanded after and Nicolas obliged without a word. As soon as Nicolai was on his feet, he walks to the buttons and starting punching it. He was entertained with the sound it made.

Nicolas stood to Adriana's side and snake his hand around her waist pulling her closer as they both watch Nicolai enticed by the buttons.

"Can I still work with you then?" Adriana asked, hoping he's mood melted now.

"Not until I tore the office down and replaced the wall with metal or wood. Or maybe I would asked someone to put a glare into the transparent glass." Nicolas explained.

"How sure are you that I'm going to have sex ... " Adriana realized her last word and shot Nicolai a glance, and he was still engrossed with the buttons, relief filled her. She averted her eyes back to Nicolas as she continued on. "...with you inside your office?"

"Believe me moro mou, we will." Nicolas replied with overlapping confidence.

"Wow, surely your nose is in the air." She retorted tersely in a sarcastic way.

"Want to bet, moro mou?" Nicolas breathed was hot in Adriana's earlobe and she gasped inwardly. Her body reacted swiftly and she could feel herself throbbing down to her core. "Did you feel it? I could feel you, moro.. I could feel you are damp and I wanted my tongue to graze on your sweet tangy sleek core.." Nicolas breathed huskily and in a second he's in front of Adriana, head dipped in the crook of her neck, whispering erotic words.

Nicolas grinned.

He felt her shuddered as he uttered those erotic words. He knew it would work. If she can seduce him, hell he can.

When the elevator dinged, Adriana felt flustered. Embarrassment crawled in her gut as she shot her unaware son a worried look and relief flooded within her when she noticed that he was too busy playing with the buttons.

Nicolas let her go with satisfaction and followed his son lightheartedly, broad smile plastered in his face. He's happy that Adriana felt the same way and he will rectify all the wrong things he had done to her.

Nicolai stood in front of the door while waiting for his dad to unlock it. Nicolas punched the code and the door unlock.

As soon as the door open, Nicolai ran to the sofa with his damp swim suit.

"You need a shower and get change," Adriana remembered there's nothing for her and Nicolai to wear since all their clothes is in their apartment.

"There's clothes for you and Nicolai in my room. You should be good for tonight." Nicolas answered her thoughts and she nods.

"Let's have shower, honey while daddy is making some phone calls." Adriana called Nicolai, but he already settled himself on the sofa, busy flicking the remote control.

"You can continue that later, honey. It won't take long to take a shower." Adriana repeated, but Nicolai was too engrossed with his eyes glued on the television.

Nicolas pulled his phone out of his pocket as he walked to the sofa.

Adriana's temper flared up.

Why is Nicolas not helping her?

"Tell your son Nicolas to have a shower with me, or you two will going to spend the night together!" Adriana stated grimly with her voice rises an octave.

Nicolas quickly nudge his son on the elbow and cajoled him to follow Adriana's order, but Nicolai ignored it.

"NICOLAI XANDER DE LUCA!" Adriana's angry tone completely caught her son's attention.

"Yes, mom." Nicolai stood up with frowning face and headed to the master bedroom with a heavy heart.

"We need to change his last name." Nicolas stated as he stood up and followed them. Adriana comes to a halt and turned to face Nicolas.

"I don't think it will be necessary, besides we are not married or couple." Adriana injected and Nicolas stops on his track and scowled at her.

"We are couple now. Haven't I told you that you are mine?" Nicolas eyebrows pressed tightly forming a crease line indicating he's pissed. Again his dangerous side is starting to resurface.

"Is there anything that I could do to stop you?" Adriana mumbled in defeat and she turned on her heel, following her son, holding her temper at bay.

"Do you think he needs his own room tonight?" Nicolas followed her, ignoring her words, trying to drop the topic.

"And where is he going to sleep?" Adriana spat, without stopping as she trudge down the hall to the master bedroom.

"The room across our room," he grinned, as he shove his hands inside his pockets.

Adriana frowned and shook her head in disapproval as she stops and face him. "I'll sleep with him tonight across your room." She stated firmly as she tried to make a stern face.

"Don't you think it's time for Nicolai to have a sister or a brother?" Nicolas blurted out. He has been mulling it for a while since he found out he has a son. He wants another son and a daughter. Twins would be fun.

Adriana suddenly felt excited for some reason, but she didn't showed it to him her excitement.

"Not going to happen, Nicolas." Adriana responded grimacing and Nicolas face disgruntled in disappointment.

His high hopes suddenly plummeted to the ground.

"Mommy, are you coming?" Nicolai's voice resonated in Adriana's ears making her realized that her son was already waiting inside the master bedroom. She quickly headed to the room and saw Nicolai looking irritated with his clothes pooling beside him.

"Get in the shower, I'm right behind you." Adriana pulled the new pair of clothes for Nicolai from throng of garments laid on the bed and she saw the emerald green casual dress. She quickly fell in love with it and she decided to wear it tonight. A several pairs of undergarments caught her eyes and she couldn't believe how many clothes were there for just tonight.  She picks a pair of under garments and decided to follow Nicolai before he'll call her again.

She notices Nicolas standing beside the window wall with the phone close to his ears, talking animatedly on the phone.

"Mommy-" Nicolai called out.

"Coming .."

Adriana quickly walked inside the washroom and close the door. Hanging the clothes onto the hook, she undress herself, then joined her son in the shower.

Adriana adjusted the water temperature before turning the water head on. Nicolai was screaming when the water runs out from the shower head and Adriana giggled. Her son soon was giggling.

She helps him wash his hair even he was screaming of reluctance.

"I want to do it myself." He whined as he stared at me in annoyance.

"Yes, you will after mommy washes you thoroughly. You get your turn after." Adriana cajoled sweetly, but he shook his head in disagreement.

"Just give me erections mommy and I'll do it." He negotiated and Adriana burst into a fit of laughters.

"You mean direction, honey?" Adriana corrected as she tried to hold her laughters, but it was so impossible. Nicolai looks so serious and Adriana raise her hand in surrender.

After struggling of washing his body, finally she was satisfied she got to wash him.

Nicolai was so mad and Adriana ignored him. She knew his temper would be gone in few minutes, just like his dad.

Not long, they both emerged out of the washroom fully clothed and looking refreshed.

"Daddy it's your turn." Nicolai called out for Nicolas.

Nicolas just nod his head and ended the call.

Nicolas walked to where Nicolai's standing and picks him up and kiss his cheeks. Nicolai giggled as he wriggled off Nicolai's arms.

"You smelled good. Did mommy wash you?" Nicolas asked before placing him back on his feet.

"Yes!" he pouted and Nicolas forehead furrowed.

"You look upset?" Nicolas asked holding his grin as he watched his son's face with adoration.

"Because I don't want mommy to wash me. I can do it by myself." He whine petulantly and Nicolas laughed.

"When I was your age, nonna Melaina was still helping me wash my body." Nicolas squatted as he tried to comfort his upset son. His face was disoriented. Adriana just brushes off her son's tantrum and she stood watching the two talking.

"Really daddy? Amadeo said, he bath by himself because he is already a big boy." Nicolai commented wittingly and Nicolas tongue was lost.

"Well, don't you like it when mommy is helping you? Make it all quick and easy. You see? You get to watch now." Nicolas grinned and he nodded. His attention was drifted to watching television.

"Come on, daddy." Nicolai tugged Nicolas one hand heading to the living room.

Adriana just followed them.

As soon as they all sat on the sofa, and Nicolai found the show he wants to watch, Nicolas face Adriana.

He wanted to tell her about the new house he bought for them. He was so excited. He can't wait for them to see it, especially his son. Demetrio helped him find a big estate and it wasn't far from where they live.

"What time are we leaving?" Adriana asked before Nicolas could speak.

"Would you like to have a dinner first or have dinner in the plane?"

"Whichever, doesn't matter to me." Adriana responded in nonchalance. "You look so happy." She commented as she stared into Nicolas' eyes.

"Well, I bought an estate closer to where Yvonne and Demetrio lived." Nicolas started and Adriana stared at him bewildered.

"Why do we need an estate? There's only three of us, Nicolas. That's is very impractical." Adriana lectured, unimpressed. Nicolas face disgruntled with his forehead furrowing.

"For now, but in the coming years we will be having more babies." He declared pompously as he stared at her haughtily.

Such a fine confidence he got there.

Adriana rolled her eyes. "Not gonna happen, Nicolas." Adriana responded flatly and Nicolas just shrugged it off. Deep within her was raving-up with the thoughts that Nicolas was thinking about their future and it included her.

She had been dreaming of this day to come. Her and Nicolas and with their son Nicolai. How many nights did she imagine that Nicolas comes back and claimed them?

Instead, those were the nights where she falls asleep with her tears dried in her cheeks.

"Okay, back to the flight. We can leave anytime tonight." Nicolas announced and Adriana glance at her son who was sitting on the other side of Nicolas.

"We should eat first before we leave. Nicolai may not eat when we get to your plane. For sure he'll be distracted." Adriana said matter-of-factly.

"Alright. We need to leave then soon." Nicolas agreed.

Nicolas stood up, thinking to call the fancy restaurant he knew to book a reservation, when he noticed  a message from his friend Radford.

He quickly check it and he smiled.

We had the latest engagement ring that I would think would make your girl fall hard on you all the more. I attached a photo of the diamond ring and let me know how would you like it.

Radford.

Nicolas smiled. Time to changed his path.

Marry Adriana would be a closest way to rectify all the wrong things he did to her. For the heart breaks he had caused her. And to officially make Nicolai his legitimate son.
