Entangled With The Mafia Lord

In a few minutes time, the food Tristan ordered got wheeled into the penthouse by one of the workers. There were different foods on the table which were nothing too heavy since the time was just 01:40am on a Saturday morning.

I walked towards Aria and leaned down until my jaw was cushioned on her head, she glanced back at me before turning back to the fish pond she was engrossed in. I felt her lean into my body and welcomed her body heat immediately as I wrapped my right hand across the shoulders until my elbow was slightly resting on her boobs.

“The food has already arrived, let’s get something into your body, I don’t think you ate anything this afternoon at my house, did you?” I asked.

I felt her shrug her shoulders a little before shaking her head in reply to my question. I dropped my hand away from her shoulders and stepped away from her before tugging lightly on her wrist as I led her towards the table arranged with different kinds of light weight foods.

Nicole was barely eating her bacon and eggs, instead she just kept flipping the bacon around and eating only a little bit of her eggs. By the look of things, I don’t think any one of us is going to be actually getting something into their stomach due to how knotted up we were feeling.

Tristan hovered by the fireplace with a mug of coffee and sipped on it slowly while obviously deep in thoughts. Aria sank into a chair while I followed suit until I was sitting in between her and Nicole on the table.

“This is your friend, right?” Nicole asked me loudly while gesturing towards Aria with her fork.

“Oh yeah, she is. Nicole, this is Aria.” I paused and glanced towards Aria and introduced her to Nicole officially.

“Hey there, thanks for the clothes.” Aria said to Nicole with a warm smile and a little wave while Nicole only shrugged her shoulders before going back to eating her food, or rather playing with it.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Thanks for holding my hand in the car when you notice it start to quiver… it happens sometimes when I get too anxious and lose hold of my whole emotions.” Nicole said quietly with her gaze focused completely at her food, after a few seconds, she raised her head up and glanced at Aria before continuing, “Also you’re welcome concerning the clothes.”

I glanced at Aria, then at Nicole- both of them didn’t even notice my stares since they were still gazing at each other.

“Oh it’s nothing, I know that feeling about losing a grip on your emotions because it happens to me sometimes and I’d start quivering uncontrollably, although thankfully I’m getting a stronger hold of it.” Aria replied almost immediately, her body physically loosening up by the long breath she puffed out some seconds ago.

Nicole gifted her with a small smile which lasted about a second or two before she ducked her head until her long curls blocked her face away from us completely while the poking of her food continued.

I felt for Aria’s hand on her thighs under the table and held her small finger in my large hand the moment I felt it. She glanced at me and smiled a little before glancing away and biting on her lower lips absentmindedly.

Aria tried to get some food in but only managed a small slice of pizza and two glasses of orange juice. Nicole was already heading to her room at that point, a quick glance at her plate showed that she only managed to eat one and a half bacon, some of the eggs and a glass of orange juice. Tristan followed her up the stairs to ensure she doesn’t decide to start looking for Nicolas on her own.

I ate a few pizza slices since I could literally feel

My body started to shake due to the amount of calories my body’s already lost since yesterday. Taking in three cups of coffee until I was sure my body was going to be alright with me not giving it enough food and not collapsing on me, I headed upstairs with Aria trailing softly behind me.

I stepped back and allowed her to go in first before stepping in behind her and closing the door softly. Aria awed sequel as she took in the beauty of the room didn’t miss my ear and a small smile tugged at the corners of my lips.

Whether she realizes it or not, she was growing on me, faster than I ever thought possible. I followed her gaze and chuckled when she knelt down until she was face level with a glass blow which held in it a small cute goldfish. I wasn’t sure Aria would be cool with it if I brought it to her hearing that a tiny goldfish was reminding me of her.

“Hey there, little guy… your home is beautiful.” Ari whispered against the glass bowl while I chuckled not so quietly behind her. She didn’t pay me any attention and instead rubbed her nose softly against the glass and I watched as the goldfish rubbed itself against the part which was plastered with Aria’s face.

“Oh my gosh, Auden look. The goldfish loves me already.” She said to me without glancing up and I nodded my head a little before replying to her, “Yeap, it sure does.”

Aria stood up from her kneeling position and turned around until we were facing each other. A smile threatened to burst out on her face but bit on her lips slowly to stop it from blooming and instead decided to rake her eyes on every other object in the room except me who was still standing a few feet away from her.

I walked towards her and amusedly watched as she took small steps backwards until she was almost falling on the goldfish.

“Don’t fall on the goldfish, it’s just starting to fall in love with you.” I whispered to her and watched as she quickly took one step away from the table without glancing back until we were pressed against each other, while her small hands quickly flew upwards until she clutched on handfuls of my shirt since she couldn’t properly wrap her hands around my neck unless I bend down a little to make it more easier, which I decided against.
