Chapter 10 - Thinking About You

Aurora’s P.O.V.

I woke up in the middle of the night at the sound of my phone ringing. I groaned and reached out lazily to get it off of the nightstand. I thought it was a call, but it was a text message. 

"I am going to get you Aurora. It is only a matter of time before I find you and when I do, you will become mine. Sleep tight my sweet."

My heart was racing a mile per minute. Only a matter of time? Who is this and why do they have my number? It doesn't matter. I am getting a new phone in the morning.

IN THE MORNING.......................

Ughh. I felt like a hundred people stabbed me in my back. A bad nights' rest wasn’t something I was looking forward to but it happened.

I groggily made my way out of bed and slipped into my fuzzy pink slippers and headed on my way to the kitchen. I wished I had checked the time but it’s too late now.

I grabbed the milk out of fridge and tried to grab the cereal from on top of the fridge but failed miserably.  

"Hold on. I'll get it for you." A husky and deep voice said. Sounds so delicious. Oh, brain be quiet. You know you like the sound of his voice. I couldn’t deny that especially how I accidently turned around to find myself face to abs with him.

Oh my gosh. If only his shirt wasn’t on. But you could have seen straight through his white shirt.

He got the cereal from on top of the fridge and brought it down. If only he knew he trapped me in between him and the fridge!!

He finally caught on to what was happening and gave a cheeky smile. I laughed at him and he removed himself away from me and sat on the kitchen island.

"So, how are you enjoying you stay here so far?" He brought out of the blue.

I thought it over for a second, "I really like it here. I get to see all your family and friends and spend time with you."

Dante's P.O.V

When she said, 'spend time with you', I had to smile. She actually is having feelings for me now. That's all I want, love and compassion from this woman and I'd be straight for life.

Speaking of life, "Um, Aurora, can I ask you something ?"

"Sure." She replied, moving gracefully across the kitchen floor. I must be the luckiest man around. You are and don't let this chance past you by. I won't and I'll be a dumb man if I do.

Aurora passed me my bowl of cereal and I asked my question, "Would you want to come to a business party this weekend with me. I could really use the company." Of course, you want her to come. You are always thinking about her.

True but still. "Sure, I would like to come. What harm is that?"

I chuckled, "There is no harm in that. Also, you missed the pool party yesterday. Max was highly upset when I told him you were exhausted."

The smile on her face dropped slightly and she nodded. I knew Max and her were getting close but friend close.

"So back to the party. What am I supposed to wear?"

"Oh, just wear a dress but not a masquerade dress. We are also wearing a mask. I already got our outfits picked out. You could wear a red dress and I'll wear an all-black suit." I implied.

She was looking intently at me before answering, “That’s a good thing I am wearing a red dress," she blushed, “I only brought a red dress."

I pushed my cereal aside and went around the counter and wrapped my arms Aurora and pushed her into my chest.

"No matter what, I would have bought your dress for you. It wouldn't be burden on me." She looked up at me and I was so entranced with her eyes. I barely heard what she was saying .

"No, you couldn't do that. I deserve to buy my own dresses."

I shook my head, “You know, as a gentleman, I would not let you buy your dress yourself. It’s not in my nature to let you do that."

She huffed but let the topic slide.

Dante's Mother P.O.V (Mrs. Blanc)

Even though I told Dante I respected his wishes, he did not respect my wish. And I ALWAYS get what I want.

As I was walking toward the kitchen, I met Markus standing in the doorway of the kitchen watching something.

"What are you doing?" I whispered/half yelled at him.

"Come look." I decided to look, and my dream came to reality. There they stood, holding each other in the middle of the kitchen; Dante and Aurora.

Oh, how she pisses me off. She is the one who caused Dante to cancel his wedding because she wanted him to herself but sweety I am going to protect my son from a major heartache.

"I know you don't want to see them together and so do I. I say let’s make a deal, if you find a way to break up Dante and Aurora, I will send Aurora back to America personally and you could so whatever you need to do with Dante. Deal?" Markus whispered evilly.

I grinned, "How could I refused? Its deal." And we turned our gazes to the so called 'couple' but believe this, their 'relationship' won’t be for long.

Markus's P.O.V (Later that same day)

I was at the pool, sitting in the pool chair when I received the call I was awaiting.

"Hello Markus."

"Hello Britannia."
