「𝑰𝑺𝑨𝑩𝑬𝑳𝑳𝑨」

𝑰 𝑾𝑶𝑲𝑬 𝑼𝑷 𝑾𝑰𝑻𝑯 𝑨 𝑺𝑴𝑰𝑳𝑬 𝑶𝑵 my face. I can't believe that the date with Nico was not a dream. It was real. Today is Saturday so I was going to pick Elsa up from the hospital. I got off the bed and grabbed my phone to see a text from Nico.

I immediately smiled and opened it.

Good morning beautiful.

Beautiful.

Ugh this man was too good to be true. I texted him a good morning back then went to get ready for the day.

After my morning routine I picked a cute outfit since I was taking Elsa at the amusement park and for lunch later.

I smiled at myself in the mirror satisfied with my causal outfit and walked downstairs. I grabbed my keys and just then I heard the door. I walked towards it and opened it seeing Nico.

He had one of his famous smiles on while holding a single red rose again just like last night. "Hey." He said. "Hey." I smiled and he wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me in a soft kiss.

I smiled through the kiss then pulled away. "This ones for you." He said handing me the rose. "Thank you so much." I grinned. "You're welcome." He smiled and I walked in the kitchen. I changed the water to the rose he brought me last night and put on the second rose as well.

I walked back in the living room where Justin was. "I didn't think you would come today. I'm going to pick Elsa up." I said. "Really? That's great. Let me drive you there." He shrugged. "Okay." I smiled and he took my hand as we walked out.

I locked the door to my apartment then walked towards the elevator still holding Nico's hand. He intertwined our fingers and I smiled softly.

When the elevator doors opened we walked out and he opened the car door for me. "Thank you." I said getting in putting on my seatbelt. Nico got in and did the same before driving off.

We talked a little until we arrived at the hospital. "You want me to drive you somewhere with Elsa?" he asked. "You're too nice you know that?" I smiled. "But no thank you. Me and Elsa are having a girls day." I said and he chuckled.

"Okay then. Have fun and text me when you get home." He said rubbing my cheek softly. "I will I promise." I smiled and kissed him softly. "Bye have fun at work." I said and he groaned causing me to laugh.

I waved at him one last time before getting out of the car. I walked in the hospital and went straight to Elsa's room. "Hello to the most beautiful girl I know." I said hugging her. "Hi Bels." She grinned and I smiled. "So are you ready?" I asked. "Yes I'm so ready." She smiled excited.

"Great." I said and we started walking out of the room. Cindy couldn't come and she decided to let me take Elsa out. She couldn't make it because her toddler was a little sick.

When we arrived at the amusement park I got Elsa at every ride she wanted. We had fun and ate a lot. We were now sitting on the grass eating once again.

"It's been so long since I had so much fun." Elsa suddenly said causing me to smile softly. "I'm glad you had fun. Tonight you're staying with me. We're having a girls movie night." I grinned.

"That sounds fun." She smiled and I nodded. "Are you happy?" I asked looking at her. She smiled and nodded. "I'm very happy. Thank you so much." She said hugging me. I smiled softly and hugged her back.

"I'm always here. You're like a little sister to me." I said and kissed her head.

When we arrived at my house Kayla sat on the couch searching for a movie while I made popcorn. I heard my phone and grabbed it answering once I saw it was Nico.

"Hey." I smiled. "Hey beautiful. What are you doing is everything alright?" He asked causing me to smile wider.

Beautiful. This man ugh!

"I'm good. I'm making popcorn while Elsa is looking for a movie we can watch." I said checking the popcorn.

"Popcorn and movie huh? Sounds great. We should do that sometime." He said. "We should. Anytime. What are you doing?" I asked taking the popcorn placing it on a bowl.

"Just working." He said and I hummed. "You should go rest. It's late." I said softly. "I will once I'm finished." He said and I chuckled softly.

He's as workaholic as I am. Maybe that's why we connected so fast.

"Bella come on I found a movie." Elsa called from the living room and I guess Nico heard her since he chuckled.

"I have to go. I'll call you tomorrow." I said. "Okay beautiful I'll talk to you tomorrow have fun." He said causing me to blush at the beautiful he said for the second time.

"Okay goodnight." I said. "Goodnight Issie." He said before I ended the call.

I smiled to myself and grabbed the bowl making my way towards Elsa. "It took you a while." Elsa said and I chuckled. "I'm sorry princess." I said taking a seat next to her.

The next morning I woke up from the doorbell. I groaned getting off the couch. I decided to let Elsa sleep in my room and I stayed in the living room.

I dragged my feet towards the door curious at who can be at the door at freaking nine on a Sunday. "This better be good." I muttered and opened the door seeing Nico holding a bouquet of flowers and two cups.

"Good morning." He smiled. "Good morning to you too." I said. "Can I come in or?" He raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah come on in." I smiled softly allowing him in the apartment.

I closed the door and looked at him. "These are for you. And I got you and Elsa tea. Hope she likes it." He said and handed me the flowers first causing me to pout. "That's so cute. Thank you." I said and he smiled coming closer.

I covered my mouth causing him to raise an eyebrow. "Am I a bad kisser?" He asked. "No.. I need to brush my teeth first." I whispered causing him to laugh softly. He leaned in kissing my cheek instead.

"I'll be right back." I said and placed the flowers in a vase before running upstairs.

I brushed my teeth and when I walked back in my bedroom Elsa wasn't there. "Oh.." I made my way downstairs and saw her in the kitchen with Nicola.

"Good morning Elsa." I said kissing her cheek. "Good morning Bels." She smiled. "So what do you guys want for breakfast?" I asked. "Hmm I'll go with pancakes." Elsa said. "I already had breakfast but damn pancakes do sound good right now." Nico said and I chuckled.

I started cooking while having small conversations with Nico and Elsa.

They were getting along pretty well. I mean I'm not surprised Nico knows how to get someone to talk. And he's quiet the charmer too.

When the breakfast was ready we all took our seats and started eating. "So what are your plans for today ladies?" He asked. "I don't know whatever Elsa decides." I shrugged. "We'll find something. You wanna join Nico?" She smiled and Nico looked at me then smiled and looked back at Elsa.

"Sure. If you girls don't mind. I would love to join." He smiled causing me to smile as well. "That's great. I'll go have a shower. Bels the pancakes were amazing. Thank you." Elsa said and kissed my cheek before walking off.

"She's damn right. Best pancakes I've ever had. Don't tell my mum." He whispered the last part causing me to laugh. "Why thank you." I said. Nico smiled and leaned in pecking my lips softly.

I smiled and raised an eyebrow. "Was that a kiss? I didn't quiet understand." I said and he smirked. He pulled me in for a kiss and I smiled wrapping my arms around his neck.

We pulled away and I smiled. "Better?" He asked. "Way better." I whispered causing him to chuckle.

After we were done with our breakfast Nico insisted on helping me with the dishes. "Okay I'll go get ready. I'll try to get ready quick." I chuckled. "Okay hurry." He said and I smiled and kissed his cheek before rushing upstairs.

I walked in my closet and grabbed a casual outfit and got dressed.

I smiled satisfied with my looks. I walked out of the closet and brushed my hair letting them fall down my shoulders. I didn't bother to do my make up since I didn't like make up much.

Elsa walked out of the bathroom all ready and I smiled. "You look so cute." She said. "Says the prettiest girl I've met." I said causing her to smile. "Well let's go Nico is waiting for us." I said. "Nico hmm." She smirked causing me to roll my eyes playfully.

"Don't spend so much time with Irina. You've started becoming like her." I said as I walked downstairs with Elsa following.

"We're ready." I said and Nico turned our way and smiled. "Looking good." He said. "Hmm. So where are we going?" I asked. "Can we go at the beach?" Elsa asked and I smiled and nodded. "Of course." I said and she smiled side hugging me.

We made our way out of the apartment and I locked the door. We took the elevator and seconds later the elevator doors opened again and we stepped out. Nico opened the car door for Elsa and me and I smiled thanking him before getting in the car.

He also got in and started driving.

It's been a while since I felt like this. Since I felt happy. It was a scary feeling. But for once I decided to just live my life and stop overthinking about everything.

Nico turned the radio on and I looked at Elsa that was texting to her mother probably. "So Sundays you're off?" I asked Nico that chuckled. "Hmm. I give myself some time off work." He said. "That's good. Everyone needs a break once in a while." I said.

"Says the woman that is a crazy workaholic." He said causing me to gasp. "I'm sorry." I laughed softly. Nico glanced my way flashing me his famous smile before glancing back at the road.

He pulled over and he opened the car door for Elsa and me again. "Nico I know you're a gentleman but I can open the car door you don't have to always open doors for me." I said. "What if I want to open doors for you?" He asked.

I smiled softly and he took my hand in his our fingers intertwining immediately. We walked towards the beach and Elsa smiled walking closer as I took a seat on the sand with Nico.

"She's a really smart and cool kid." Nico said looking at Kayla then back at me. "She is. And she's strong too. I believe in her. She will fight and she will win." I smiled. "She will." Nico said squeezing my hand.

"You're so cute you know that?" He asked poking my nose causing me to giggle. "Am I?" I asked. "You are." He said softly pecking my lips. "You're unreal." He said softly tucking a piece of my hair behind my ear. "Ugh I wish it wasn't this cold so we could go for a swim." Elsa pouted when she came our way.

"That's okay Elsa. We'll bring you on summer. We'll go for a swim then." Nico smiled. "Promise?" She asked pointing at Nico. "I promise. If I don't keep my promise I will go for a swim when it starts snowing. Next winter." Nico said and I laughed softly.

"I'm being serious. But I'm a man that keeps his promises." He said and Elsa smiled. "We'll see." She said.

We took a few pictures then Elsa walked off video chatting with her mother.

"What's wrong?" Nico asked rubbing my hand with his thumb softly. "I just think sometimes Elsa is so innocent she doesn't deserve all this you know?" I said smiling softly. "Everything happens for a reason." Nico said and I nodded.

I turned and looked at the beach. The weaves hit aggressively on the rocks. The wind was taking my hair everywhere causing me to regret for not getting them trapped in a ponytail but too late.

"You're really beautiful you know that?" Nico said causing me to look at him and blush softly. "Oh shut up." I muttered and he chuckled. "Nope." He said. "I'm sorry love birds but I'm hungry." Elsa pouted and I chuckled.

"Let's go have lunch then. I know a great pizza place here." Nico said standing up brushing the sand away from his clothes. He then helped me up and I did the same before following him.

We walked for five minutes until we reached the place Nico was talking about. He opened the door for us and we walked in.

The place didn't have many people maybe it was too early?

We took our seats and the waiter walked our way. "Hey dude welcome back." The waiter said doing a handshake with Nico.

"Hey. Bring us two Margherita pizza and Elsa?" He said looking at Elsa. "I want a Hawaiian pizza." Elsa said and Nico made a weird face. "Naha no no way. There's no way we'll have that pineapple pizza on this table." He frowned and I gave him a look.

"But that's my favourite." Elsa pouted. "Nico she's a kid let her have what she wants." I said causing him to frown again and cross his arms like a child. I rolled my eyes playfully and after we ordered the waiter walked off and I was left with Nico and Elsa.

"Who eats pineapple pizza?" Nico asked again. "Nico oh my God." I groaned and Elsa laughed. "You're such a fanatic Italian. But I'm not. And I love pineapple pizza." She smirked causing Nico to scoff.

"Whatever." He mumbled. When our food came we started eating and I moaned. "This is the best pizza I've ever had." I said and Nico smiled. "Traditional Italian pizza. I knew you would like it." He smiled and I smiled back at him.

He gave a disapproval face at Elsa that was eating her pizza and I chuckled. "You should try it." Elsa said. "I rather die." Nico said. "Oh come on. It's not that bad. Come on please try some." Elsa said offering him a slice of her pizza but Nico made a face and shook his head.

"Never. And when I say never I mean it." He said pointing at Elsa. She pouted but let it go.

"Thank you for today Nico. I had fun." Elsa smiled and hugged Nico causing my heart to melt at the sight of them hugging.

"No problem kid. Try to stop eating pineapple pizza though okay?" He said pointing at her. "Oh my God not again." I said and Elsa laughed and after saying goodnight she walked in my apartment.

"What about you?" He asked softly. "What about me? I don't eat pineapple pizza." I said and he smiled wrapping an arm around my waist pulling me close to him. "Did you have fun today?" He asked his lips inches away from mine.

"I did. Thank you for everything. I had so much fun." I smiled causing him to smile and hum. He brushed my bottom lip before leaning in kissing me softly. I smiled kissing him back. We pulled away still smiling.

"Goodnight Nico." I whispered. "Goodnight Issie." He whispered. "Text me when you get home safe okay?" I said causing him to look me in the eyes. "I will." He whispered and kissed my forehead.

"Goodnight." I said again and kissed his cheek before walking in the apartment closing the door. I smiled to myself and when I turned I saw Elsa smirking. "He's a great guy. And really handsome." She grinned. "Elsa go to bed." I said. "Okay okay." She laughed and walked my way. She hugged me and I hugged her back smiling.

"Thank you for everything. I had so much fun." She said and pulled away. "If I died today I would die happy." She said softly causing me to frown. "Stop talking like that. You're not going to die. I promise I will do whatever it takes to save you." I said and kissed her forehead.

"I love you Bels." She said and kissed my cheek. "Goodnight." She said and I smiled. "I love you too princess. Goodnight." I said and she walked upstairs.

I walked in the kitchen to get some water and when I was done I made my way in the living room. I took a seat on the couch and turned the TV on when my phone was heard.

I grabbed it and smiled when I saw a text from Nico.

I'm home safe and sound.

Good night.

I smiled and typed back.

Good night Nico :)

With that I locked my phone and walked upstairs to check on Elsa. She was sleeping and I smiled covering her with the blanket. I grabbed my pajamas and walked in the bathroom to change.

After that I brushed my teeth and walked back downstairs with a pillow and a blanket to get some sleep since tomorrow is Monday and it's going to be a tough day that's for sure.
