Aria's Pov
"Aria. No! It's only going to hurt you" that voice sounded so familiar
"Aria, listen to me it's only to break Nolan, it's going to destroy him, they're other ways of solving this"
And everything came like a flash all to me, I watched as Nolan was stabbed and not being able to watch how he was being tortured, I held a knife to my throat telling his attacker to let him go, the man's back still turned to me as he stopped hitting him.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" he laughed evilly
"I would let him go if I were you" I said boldly
"Aria, no" Nolan said the pleas evident in his eyes "Lucas will come"
"He'd be too late" the man turned in a blink of an eye, the same dagger he used in stabbing Nolan, he stabbed me, looking down at my protruding belly.
I was pregnant and he had stabbed the baby and I as I fell to the floor bleeding non stop, everything really blurry as Lucas came by fast ending the man's life, blood everywhere and-
My eyes snapped open gasping for breath, sitting up, holding my neck, trying to get some air in there, a frantic Nolan looking at me worry written all over his face, getting me a glass of water as I drank it down hurriedly
"Are you okay?" I handed the glass back to him as I began crying, looking around, I didn't even know when I had trashed the place and I did the thing I never thought I'd do, hug him, and so I did as he sat there rubbing my back "It was only a bad dream princess, I'm right here" he cooed and I just kept crying.
Where did that dream come from? The fact that he was going to die because of me was disturbing, I wouldn't let them die, who was I pregnant for? The thoughts so overwhelming I didn't know the cries had increased, my door flying open as a disheveled Lucas came running in and straight to my side
Now I could tell the difference between both of them, in my dream Nolan has a slight cut under his chin that wasn't really evident but how come I was with him when he happened? And Lucas has no cut. But I'm only meeting them for the first time, It was my only way of telling the difference between them
"Hey princess, what's the matter?" Pulling away from Nolan, I hugged Lucas still crying as he rubbed my back saying everything was okay and I'll be okay
I had cried so much till I was so exhausted, tiredness washing over me
"It was only a bad dream okay, we'll be here if you need anything, I won't leave your side again, not even for anything alright" he said calmly as my eyes started drooping shut, both men by sides, tucking me safely in the middle as they held me protectively feeling so much at peace as they kept tracing patterns on my body, from my arms, to my thighs, and to my belly, it felt so right. Lucas on my left kissed my forehead as Nolan did the same to my neck sleeping off with a smile on my face
"I am not letting you go Aria" was all I heard before succumbing to the darkness
****
The atmosphere at the office was quiet and I don't know why, the twins didn't even as much as spare me that much of a glance today, so enveloped and engulfed with their own work, stuck in their office while I had mine in my own office.
Could it be I was dreaming? Could I have wanted both of them so much that I had to dream about them? Sleeping in my bed and kissing me? Well thank God I've got a big bed because how would their big figure had fit into a small bed even in my dream
But what was I thinking dreaming about them? Lucas who I thought was nice got mad at me yesterday, maybe it was something related to work when he stepped out to take a phone call earlier. Maybe it wasn't his fault, I was expecting that from Nolan and not him
Is that enough reason to dream of him? Of both of them? What am I? Who am I? To crave both brothers? Jesus what is wrong with me?
Holding my head in my arms, the thought of them was enough to wet my pants. God have mercy, It's very wrong to want not just one but two of my bosses!
My door opening slightly "Hey Aria, you okay?" Iris asked from the doorway
Lifting my head up "Yeah, do you need anything?"
"Was wondering if you'd like to get lunch with me later?"
"Yeah sure. I'll just finish up with these files and I'll meet you out"
"Okay, bye" she just kept smiling brightly at me closing the door after her.
"I'm happy atleast someone's in a good mood" rolling my eyes
It still feels like it wasn't a dream, but when I woke up they both weren't there, and there was no single trace of them in my apartment, but why would they both be at my place at the same time? Because I was having a bad dream? I don't think secretaries are treated with such high regard, so it's left to me with my wild and dirty mind that dreamt of having both men sleep by my side on my bed kissing my neck-
"Ahh Aria, get a hold of yourself woman! You could get fired at this rate" blushing so much my cheeks were aching
"Maybe I'll take a few days off saying I came down with a flu or something, but I just got this job isn't it too early for flus'?" I slapped my mouth shut, I didn't even know I had started talking out loud
Someone could hear you Aria! Get a hold of yourself, all that I need to do is simply avoid them. I'm sure it's very possible yes
The intercom buzzed "Aria I'd like coffee and the documents I had asked for sent to my office right now" Nolan said in his cold tone
I groaned, I was just going to get lunch with Iris
Walking out of my office and meeting Iris at the front desk "Hey iris I think I'd have to take a raincheck on that offer, a s**t load of work just got to my table and they need it asap. Right now I need to get that coffee"
"It's okay, I'll be right here" she smiled at me as I headed into the elevator, pressing the cafeteria button and heading down there
I wonder what's getting them both upset, not even Lucas looked at me! Couldn't he have atleast said sorry for yelling
But then again, why am I feeling too entitled, this is a working environment Aria, so keep it that way.
