「𝑰𝑺𝑨𝑩𝑬𝑳𝑳𝑨」

𝑰 𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑬𝑫 𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑰 𝑴𝑰𝑺𝑺𝑬𝑫 𝑵𝑰𝑪𝑶. 𝑰 missed his presence. I missed him waiting for me, to walk with me at work. I just missed everything we did together.

I sighed as I cleaned the house. The weather was getting better. Finally we welcomed spring. I love spring. It has always been my favorite season.

I was done with everything yet again I was trying to find something to do to keep myself occupied since I had the day off.

I heard a knock on the door and frowned as I made my way towards the door and when I opened it I saw a bouquet of flowers and Nico smiling. "Hey." He said.

"Nico.." I smiled and hugged him. He hugged me back placing a kiss on my forehead. "I thought you were suppose to come tomorrow." I said. "I wanted to surprise you." He grinned. "You did." I chuckled. "These are for you. They're not from London but ya know." He said causing me to laugh.

He handed me the bouquet of chrysanthemums and I smiled smelling them. "Come on in." I said and let him in.

After I placed the flowers in a vase I walked towards Nico and took a seat next to him. "So tell me. How was it? Did you get to go out?" I asked. "Not really. I was there for work so I finished and here I am." He smiled taking my hand in his.

"I missed you." He said leaning in. I smiled and closed my eyes leaning in as well. "I missed you too." I whispered just when our lips touched and Nico pulled me in a soft kiss. I smiled through the kiss our lips moving in perfect sync.

We pulled away and he grinned. "I got you something." He said and I sighed. "Nico why did you even got me something? I don't like you spending money on me." I said. "Are you serious? I would go on a whole business trip and come back with nothing for you? Issie I'm hurt that you think I'm that much of a jerk." He said causing me to chuckle.

He took a little jewelry box out of his pocket and smiled. "Nico." I sighed feeling bad that he spent money on me.

"Oh come on now. Open it. Let me know if you like it cause if you don't... I'll go back to London and get you something else." He said causing me to chuckled and shake my head.

"You're crazy." I said opening the box. I gasped at the cute bracelet he had got. He sure does have taste.

"Nico this is beautiful. Thank you so much." I said hugging him. I kissed his cheek and pulled away. "You're welcome. I'm glad you like it." He said.

"Like it? I love it. Can you put it on me please?" I said and he smiled nodding. He took the bracelet and wrapped it around my wrist. When he was done he kissed my hand and looked at me.

"Bello." He whispered causing me to blush.

Beautiful.

"Are you hungry?" I asked tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. "Honestly I'm starving." He said and I giggled. "Okay good. I'm making lasagna." I said standing up making my way in the kitchen.

"Oh fuck yes." Nico said causing me to chuckle. I took everything I needed out and Nico walked in the kitchen. "Wanna go out tonight? Like you know at the club? Our club." He suddenly asked scratching the back of his neck.

"That sounds fun. Can Irina come?" I asked. "Sure she can. Zain will also be there so." He shrugged and I smiled. "Great." I grinned. "How's Irina by the way?" He asked hugging me from behind.

"She's good. She's been busy with work and she tries spending time with me. She has her day off today too. She just went to visit some family." I said and he hummed.

After a while I was done cooking and we were now sitting in the dining room having our dinner. "Fuck best lasagna ever. Don't tell my mum though." Nico said pointing at me. I laughed and shook my head. "I won't I promise." I said and he smiled.

"How many talents do you have?" He smirked. "You'll find them one by one De Luca. Don't rush." I smirked back and he chuckled. "I see." He muttered causing me to smile.

After we were done with our food Nico helped me do the dishes even though I told him to just go and sit while I do them.

"Done." He said once he washed the last glass. "Nico you didn't have to." I chuckled. "I know. I wanted to. Plus I can't spend a second away from you." He said kissing my cheek. I smiled and looked up at him.

"I think we should get ready." I whispered once our lips were inches away. "I think we should cancel." He whispered rubbing his nose on mine. "Can't. I already informed Irina. She's coming over in a few." I said walking off.

"Okay." Nico said and followed me upstairs. I walked in my closet and looked for a dress. I grabbed a few and showed them to Nico that was laying on my bed resting his weight on his elbows.

"Okay help me. Which one is better?" I asked. "They all would look spectacular on you." He said licking his lips. "Hmm. You're not helping much." I sighed. "Well I like the black one." He said pointing at the black dress with his chin. "You say?" I asked.

"Definitely." He said and I smiled. "Great." I said and walked in my closet. I started getting ready and after I put my dress on I walked out of the closet holding my heels.

I sat on the edge of the bed and was ready to put my heels on but Nico stopped me.

He kneeled down and put my heels on causing me to smile and bite my bottom lip.

"Thank you." I said softly. "You're welcome." Nico said running his fingers on my leg. I tried to ignore the shiver that went down my spine and stood up walking towards the mirror to do my make up and hair.

My hair were perfectly straight falling down my shoulders and my make up was just like I wanted it. "Sei sbalorditivo." Nico said looking at me. I blushed and smiled.

You look stunning.

"Grazie." I thanked him looking up at him. Just when he leaned in for a kiss the door bell rang and I pulled away. "Irina's here." I said.

"Scopata." He muttered. ''Cockblocker.'' 

Fuck.

"Nico!" I said sternly before making my way downstairs with him following.

I opened the door and smiled when I saw Irina in a perfect dark blue short dress, her make up looking amazing and her hair too. "You look amazing." I grinned. "Thanks but please have you checked yourself?" She grinned causing me to chuckle.

"Thanks babe." I said. "Are we ready to go ladies?" Nico asked wrapping an arm around my waist. "Hey Irina." He greeted. "Hey Nicola." Irina greeted back and we walked out of my apartment.

We took the elevator and after a few seconds the elevator doors opened and we stepped outside. Irina got in the car first and Nico opened the car door for me. I thanked him before getting in.

He also got in and put his seat belt on. "I'm so ready for this night. It's been ages since we went out at a club to have fun." Irina said as Nico started driving.

"You are welcome to come at the club anytime. If I'm not there Zain will be. And if he also ain't there one of my brothers will definitely be there." Nicola explained. "I've never been at one of your clubs. I've heard that Dark Blue clubs are the best but never had the chance to come. Bella ain't into clubs." Irina said causing Nic to chuckle.

"Well I'm sorry." I chuckled. "Yeah yeah." Irina said waving her hand.

After a few minutes we arrived and Nico pulled over. Charlotte got out first fixing her dress making sure she looks good then Nico opened my car door and took my hand in his as we stepped in the club.

It was really one of the best clubs. I looked around and it looked so luxurious.

"Wow." I said softly. "Woah. I've seen pictures but this is something else." Irina mumbled looking around as fascinated as me.

"Let's go. Zain's waiting for us at the VIP area." Nico said pulling me with him. The club was packed. People were dancing, drinking. They were having fun.

We reached the VIP area and Zain was there sitting on a table having a drink. He stood up as fast as he saw us. "Hey." He smiled. "Hi Zain." I said and he grinned hugging me. "Uhm this is Irina my friend." I said. "I'm Zain." He said sticking his hand out. Irina smiled and shook his hand. "Irina." She smiled.

"Nice to meet you." Zain said smiling. I looked at Nico and he snorted making me smile.

We took our seats and Nico looked at me. "What do you wanna drink?" He asked before kissing my hand. "I'll just have vodka." I said and he chuckled. "Doctor, you're shocking me." He joked. "Oh shut up." I chuckled.

Nico walked off and grabbed our drinks. I looked at Zain and Irina and smiled at how they got along. Oh please let my best friend let loose and have some fun. 

Minutes later Nico came back with our drinks and I thanked him before taking a sip of my drink. "I think they like each other." I chuckled looking at Irina and Zain that were lost in their own conversation.

"Hmm Zain's not much of a "like" kind of guy but I see he's interested in Irina already. Shocking." Nico replied before taking a sip of his drink. "I love this place. It's different from other clubs." I said resting my chin on my palm looking at Nico.

"I'll take that compliment thank you very much." He said. "Who decorated it?" I asked. "I did. I like decorating my property as I like." He smirked. "Hmm you have taste." I said. "Obviously I do. Look at the woman I got." He said making me blush and look down.

"She's blushing." He said and kissed my cheek. "We're going to dance." Irina said before disappearing with Zain. "Zain looks like a nice guy." I said. "He is trust me. He's a funny genius guy." He chuckled. "Hmm. What about you?" I asked leaning close to his lips.

"I'm everything you want me to be mia Bella." He said.

My beautiful.

I smiled biting my bottom lip. "Is this place always this packed?" I asked. "Hmm. It's worse than this most times." He said smirking. "You look proud." I said. "I am proud." He chuckled. "That's good." I chuckled.

Nico looked towards a guy and cleared his throat. "I'll be right back." He said standing up. He kissed my cheek before walking to a guy.

I took a sip of my drink and looked around. "And what is a beautiful lady like you doing here all alone?" A guy took a seat where Nico was minutes ago. I noticed he was pretty drunk. So he had no idea what he was doing or saying.

"I'm not alone. I'm with my boyfriend." I said trying to give him a hint. "I don't see him." He smirked and moved closer placing his hand on my thigh. I stood up but Nico had already saw the guys move and walked our way furious.

He grabbed him by the collar and punched him. The punch was so hard that the guy fell on the floor groaning in pain. "NICO!"

Everyone was looking at us. The music was off. Nico was beating the random guy and I rubbed my forehead stressfully. "Nico you're killing him okay just let him go." I said softly and he stopped.

I wiped a tear that was about to fall and Nicola rushed my way. "Why are you crying?" He whispered wiping the second tear that was falling. "Nico what did you do?" I whispered. "No one has the right to touch you you hear me? No one has the right to harass you." He said pulling me in a hug.

I hugged him back closing my eyes feeling safe in his arms. Weird. I hate violence. In other terms I wouldn't have let him touch me after beating someone. When we pulled away Zain grabbed the guys arm and dragged him out of the club. Nico took my hand and pulled me upstairs in his office.

He sighed once he closed the door. "I'm sorry. I didn't want things to go this way. I wanted us to have fun." He muttered sitting on the couch that was in the office.

I sat next to him and looked at his knuckles that were red. "It wasn't your fault.. maybe it was me—"

"—no it wasn't your fault. It's not a women's fault for wanting to go at a club to have fun. It's their fault. The perverts that walk around and no one is doing shit. Then what? Then they blame women for what happens next." He said causing me to nod.

"It's someone they easily put the blame on." I said softly. I took his hands and kissed his knuckles causing him to smile. "How come we can't have a normal date?" I asked causing Nico to laugh.

"I don't know habibti. But who's normal seriously? Are we normal?" He asked. "No. Normal is boring anyways." I shrugged and rested my head on Nico's chest. "I'll agree on that." He chuckled kissing my head.

"Are you scared?" He suddenly asked causing me to look up at him. "Why should I be scared?" I whispered. "Back then I lost it. I can't stand if someone tries to hurt the people close to me. I thought you got scared of me." He said licking his lips.

I smiled and shook my head. "I'm not scared of you. I wasn't scared of you back there. I was scared you would kill the guy and get in trouble because of me." I muttered and he chuckled. "You're my woman. I won't allow anyone to lay a finger on you." He said tucking a piece of my hair behind my ear.

"Are you always going to be there?" I asked mostly teasing him. "Always. Fucking always." He whispered before connecting our lips. I closed my eyes kissing him back. Nico pulled me on his lap and I wrapped my arms around his neck. I pulled his hair causing him to moan.

Once again I pulled away and got off him. I covered my face swallowing. "Hey. Hey hey what's wrong?" Nico asked uncovering my face making me look at him. "I'm sorry. I'm not ready." I said almost ashamed.

"And? Why are you ashamed?" He asked rubbing my cheek with his thumb. "I'm sorry if I'm pushing you or rushing things." He said. "No no it's not that." I sighed and smiled softly. "It's just I'm not ready. Yet." I said causing him to smile.

"That's totally okay." He whispered close to my lips. "Should we go back to Zain and Irina?" I whispered. "That's also an option." He said causing me to laugh softly.

Nico took my hand in his and we made our way downstairs. We walked back at the table where Zain and Irina were talking and laughing. "They don't even need us." Nico muttered. "I can see that." I laughed softly.

"Wanna get out of here?" He whispered in my ear. "Yes." I smiled. He pulled me out of the club with him and opened the car door for me. "Oh so we're leaving leaving?" I asked getting in the car. "I'm kidnapping you." He said closing the door causing me to laugh.

He got in the car and drove off. Nico turned the radio on and I smiled as I watched out of the car window.

I got my eyes on you
You're everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly

I can't get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly

Nico's hand went on my thigh and I looked down at it. He held his hand open and I smiled letting his hand take mine and intertwine our fingers.

"'Cause you're a good girl and you know it."  He sang softly and winked at me.

You act so different around me
'Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be

"Did you just sing?" I asked. "No." He denied and I gasped. "Come on now Nico." I chuckled. "That wasn't singing I just said a lyric that totally describes you." He shrugged. "Hmm." I hummed and decided to let it go and not tease him further.

Just hold on we're going home
Just hold on we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we're going home

The rest of the car ride was peaceful. The music was the only thing heard and it was the best feeling.

Nico suddenly pulled over and I looked at him. He stepped out of the car and I took my seatbelt off when he opened the car door for me. I took his hand and stepped out. Justin closed the car door and grabbed something from the back.

I looked at the view of the whole city. "Wow." I said. "Like it?" He asked. "Are you kidding me? Where did you find all these magical places?" I asked as he sat on the hood of the car. I did the same and he wrapped a blanket around us.

"I like exploring everything around me. Especially this city." He said softly looking at the view. I smiled and looked at the breathtaking view. "My dad also likes exploring places. When he had time he would take me with him when I was a kid. But he didn't have much time." I said softly.

"Why's that?" Nico asked. "He's a general. He would always leave. I didn't understand what it was back then. I would just say that my dad is a hero. Not just my hero but so many others hero." I said and smiled sadly.

"But then when I realized that what he was doing was dangerous I just promised to not fall in love with someone that I will be scared I'll lose one day because of what he does. You know when I realized that?" I asked looking at Nico that was already looking at me.

"When I saw my mum crying, screaming after getting a call. My dad had gotten injured. He was in a critical condition. Seeing my mum so broken I just said that I don't want to feel that one day." I said. "You can't help who you fall in love with." Nico simply said looking in my eyes.

"You can prevent from falling for the wrong person." I said. "That's not possible. If you fall you fall if you think you're falling but somehow find out something and say oh I guess I'm not in love with that person anymore the that's not love." He said.

"What do you know about love?" I chuckled teasing him. "Not much. I'm slowly finding out a lot though." He whispered and I looked away. "Have you ever been in love?" He asked. "No." I simply answered and felt his eyes on me.

I turned to look at him. "The view is over there." I said pointing at the view with my chin. "Tu sei il mio punto di vista." He whispered resting his forehead on mine.

You are my view.

"I lied." I whispered. "I'm scared of you... because you're making me feel things I've never felt." I whispered. "That's the good kind of fear." Nico smiled and kissed me softly. He placed his hands on my cheeks and I kissed him back.

Slow but with so much passion. I really was scared. Because I knew.. I've already fallen and it was too late to get up.
