My head felt like it'd burst with the pain I was experiencing when I woke up the next morning. I tried to remember what I'd done last night and when I remembered it, my head spun again."Yes, you scoundrel, I have fallen for you too and as much as I want to kiss you, I don't know how to."What the hell did I say? Someone tell me, I didn't say that. I didn't say any thing! Oh Bloody hell! What did I f*cking do?I held my head in my hands trying to think what the hell actually happened. I couldn't think, no matter how hard I tried.I'm f*cking dying, aren't I?Oh, God! Did I really confess my feelings to him? God! What must he think of me now? I bet he is horrified!No. No. No. Think more, Ari!I strained my brain as hard as I could, trying to think of something that I hadn't screwed up! I couldn't think of anything. I felt like I was going to faint.All my brain could muster up was how Sienna made me drink, then we cheered and then... blank, every-f*cking-thing blank followed by the se
It felt like everything was a dream. Never in my life did I imagine having someone who would value me so much. I never considered how different it would be to love someone who would love me back.The fear I had when I walked to his office was now replaced with a feeling of relief.He loves me.He had always loved me.As he held me close to his heart, I saw the glimpse of my Mumma smiling. She softly nodded at me, and she smiled her heart out."I'll see you tomorrow, Amore." He said as leaned forward, his eyes sparkling with mischief as he pulled my face closer to his. My breathing became erratic as he leaned into my lips. Earlier in the office, I'd just pressed my lips on his, what if he wanted to kiss me ? Damn it! I don't want to embarrass myself.As I sped the train of my thoughts, I felt his lips on my cheek. He knew exactly the sort of emotions I was feeling because he was the one I was feeling them for. I could see him smiling."Only you, mi amore. Only you."My heart raced on ov
It's been two days since the encounter we had with Nicolas' father and as much as I'm curious to know about him, I didn't want to hurt his or Mama's feelings by asking questions.He and Mama were too good at pretending, but not enough to fool me.His gorgeous smile was somewhere missing and Mama's sassy and hyper nature was on the low side from the last two days. I thought they wanted to deal with it on their own, hence I didn't pry but it hurts to see the two people I love the most in the world going through this.So today Kia and I are baking a cake for her Nicky uncle and Mama in their absence. I glanced at Kia who was sitting on the countertop watching me mix the cake batter. "Ari?""Yes, Kia baby.", I answered while I wiped my hands on the apron and walked over to her.She stretched her arms and hugged me closely. I hugged her back, "What's wrong Kia?""I'm happy.", she announced while she released herself from the hug." You will never leave me and Nicky uncle?", she continued as
This was not how I expected it to end. I felt tears of anger in my eyes as I looked at him. How could he do this? How the f*ck could he do this? This is outrageous, simply absurd.I can't believe my eyes as I saw the credits roll."What's wrong amore?", Nicolas asked as he sat beside me on the couch."I'm fine, I'm okay," I answered. "It's a little unexpected, but it's just this isn't quite how I wanted the story to end." I sulked as I buried my head in his chest, he chuckled stroking my hair. His laughter sending a jolt of shiver down my body."It's okay, amore. It's just a movie." His fingers ran down the lengths of my hair."It's not. I just spent my f*cking two hours just to see the super amazing and undeniably gorgeous male lead dying for the woman who clearly didn't give a sh*t about him." I reasoned, my mind a jumbled mass of anger and disappointment."What did you say about the male lead?" he asked as he frowned in dissatisfaction."Here I'm ranting about how much of a trash t
Perfect! He was perfect in every possible sense. He was everything I wanted and everything I needed. I can't stop thinking about him. I've lost my heart to him.And that's not it. I was falling for him with every look he gave me, every word he spoke, every touch he gave me over and over again. Bloody hell!My lips curled into a smile at the memory of last evening.I was standing in front of my mirror looking at the ugly scar I got due to that horrible incident. The more I looked at the scar, the more I felt miserable.I hadn't realised that Mr Arnold was listening to me crying over something so petty. God! I was so silly.When I opened the door, he was right there, leaning with his arms crossed over his chest. His face was calm as he looked at me. He grabbed my hand and walked into my room with me. He stopped right in front of the mirror, his arms wrapped around me from behind, eyes staring into mine through the mirror. He held my hand and made me pull my blouse little exposing my sca
Have you ever felt like something was to come up? You couldn't put your finger on it, but you knew it was coming. It's like you could almost see it in the air but you didn't know what it was going to be, the only thing you knew was it was going to be big. That's how I've felt over the past two days.Talking about Nick and me, yes we had gone a step further in the names context. We've been on more dates since that evening. If he was super sweet before, he'd become a whole freaking confectionary shop now. He'd become that part of my life, I never knew I wanted but needed. I loved him but I was scared.I was scared to come into a relationship with him in actuality. I didn't want to be the centre of attention again. I didn't want myself to be imprinted on the pages of gossip newspapers again. I didn't want to be in the spotlight just because I was dating one of the richest people in the town.My anxiety shoots up even imagining myself again in that situation. I don't want to be tabloid fo
Women have been given a power called female intuition. It's something that comes from the heart. We can feel and judge an action if it will be effective, and we feel it instinctively and intuitively. Also after what happened five years back, I've got the life lesson never to step on your intuition.From the moment Luke invited me to the party, I knew something would definitely go wrong if I went there. Hence, I dropped the plan. A few hours ago, Tara had called me and asked me to come but I apologized to her and told her I wasn't feeling well and as much as I felt obliged to her since she was the closest person to me in the name of a friend beside Mama, bless her pure soul she didn't force me. Instead, she asked me if I wanted her to come to me. She was a gem, no doubt.Also, Nick and I, both had gone to that party, we would have had to leave Kia at his mansion since Mama was out of the station, which she hates a lot. And leaving her with someone else was out of the box, especially af
Trust is something that either makes a relationship work or it kills it. Without trust, people are always waiting for the other person to screw up so they can be angry or disappointed or vindictive. That's how our culture is set up.With every second of silence radiating negativity and scepticism, I felt my blood pressure rise and I began to dread his next words. What if he questioned my integrity? What if he doubted my motives? What if he couldn't help but think I was a liar?All these thoughts were making me dizzy and feeling sick to my stomach. I could feel my pulse pound in my temples and hear my heart beating in my ears.My head spun as I tried to stop it.The bastard behind him smirked at me and walked over to where Nick was standing silently looking at Evans who had passed out."I can't believe my own cousin did something like this." He dramatically frowned as he kept a hand on Nick's shoulder."I hope you're okay, Nicky?"Luke looked at me and tsked slightly, I felt my stomach c
