Lorenzo’s pov “Make sure you pack every damn thing, we can’t leave anything behind.” I murmured to Mia who wasn’t even listening to me, she was staring at herself in the mirror, twirling from side to side and giggling to herself.I stared at her for about a minute before pushing away from the doorway and inching close to her till I was hovering behind her. She grinned at me in the mirror before turning around and grinning up at me as her hands clutched on my biceps. Her face glowed in the soft lights, and I reveled in the insane way she was breathtakingly gorgeous.“We’re moving back home today.” I murmured softly and she perked up at once, eyes sparkling beautifully.“We are?” She asked and I hummed as I reached up to brush the curly hair strands out of her face to the side of her ear.“So, the bag guys has been caught?” She wondered and I hummed once again, anything to get her mind to be at ease.I had dwell on this particular thing for a couple of days and I came to the con
Mia’s pov The car ride back to Lorenzo’s main apartment was one which was filled with silent almost throughout, but unlike those tense ones we shared in the past, this one was quite different. It was comfortable and it also felt like we were somehow communicating through the silence without having to say a word.“Are you sure it’s gonna be safe back there?” I tentatively asked as I realized that we’ve almost arrived at our destination. Lorenzo gave me a look before cracking a small smile.“Why? You nervous?” He asked and I glanced out the window at first while absentmindedly chewing at the inside of my cheek. I had a feeling that who ever it was that was behind that raid incident is someone who definitely hated Luca and a little bit of fear has settled in my chest as the thought of anything happening to him.“Just a little bit.” I admitted and he hummed in understanding.“But nothing’s gonna happen to you, you know that, right?” He asked after a little while and I almost roll
Mia’s pov Dinner had already been prepared before we arrived. Apparently, Lorenzo had given Cat permission to come prepare some food for us before our arrival, and all that’s left is for the food to be microwaved. Lorenzo was in the kitchen doing just that when I arrived in the kitchen door way, he had his phone plastered against his ears as he moved around and I remained in the doorway for long moments until I got sighted.“Look who decided to show up.” Lorenzo murmured and I rolled my eyes and I walked into the kitchen while stretching my hands as I did that.I had taken a quick, unexpected nap about thirty minutes ago and it seemed to have helped me relax even more. When I crawled into Lorenzo’s huge bed, one which now supposedly belonged to me as well, I had felt extremely giddy as I slipped underneath the covers. The pillows had no smells of Lorenzo whatsoever but I knew that would get fixed in no time. After that, I somehow got lost in my thoughts until I drifted off to sleep.“
Mia’s pov A shiver coursed down my spine but i squared my shoulders and net his gaze with a neutral one. “Never planned on doing that. What’s there to run from in here?” I asked and the small grin on his face slowly stretched until he face had lowered to my height.“A lot, princess. A lot.” He whispered, voice husky and I shivered and shifted my weight from feet to feet.I made a show of glancing over the entire interior of the room before returning back to staring at him.“It’s just a room which I’ve been in a handful of times. What’s where to be scared of?” I whispered and he cocked an eyebrow before speaking, eyes dancing with what I’d term as mischief.“Is that so?”“Mhhm.”“Have you perhaps wondered what laid on the other side of that door?” He asked, eyes pointing towards a door positioned at the left part of the large bedroom. My eyes followed that angle and I swallowed emptily as I returned my gaze back to his face. I cleared my throat before starting to speak.“I- I t
Mia’s pov A smile was already dancing across my lips before I crossed my eyes open, and it only widened when all that happened the previous night slowly crashed down on me. I rolled to my side, nose sinking into the second pillow beside my head and I breathed in Lorenzo’s scent which was now clinging to the pillows. Unlike when we had just arrived whereby the entire place was completely devoid of our scents, now was the complete opposite and i reveled in it.Lorenzo was already out of bed, which isn’t surprising because he has always been an early bird since I could remember and I wasn’t sure I’ve ever woken up to him still sleeping beside me since the moment we began to sleep together in the same bed, aside that first night whereby he had come to my room after supposedly having a nightmare, and till date, we’ve never talked about that night, but it doesn’t mean I didn’t think about it every now and then.I let out a contented sigh as I rolled to my other side and tucked the b
Mia’s pov I’ve stuck trying to decide on something to wear tonight for over thirty minutes and I was yet to come to a decision. It was starting to stress me out and I hated the fact that I was getting this stressed and worked up over this, but I knew it was because I cared, and because I was actually looking forward to this.Throughout my life, I never stop to wonder if I’d ever get to go out on a date or something, because somehow, I was already aware that I’d end up getting married off for the sake of the family. It had come as a complete shock to me when Lorenzo had asked me that question three days ago. The fact that Lorenzo and I had gotten to this level, from hating each other so much to getting ready to go on a romantic date together, was certainly something I never saw coming.I contemplated on dressing in a color blue tonight because I knew it was one of Lorenzo’s favorite color and I wanted to look extremely pretty for him.He was fond of flimsy outfits, and there wa
Mia’s pov The car ride was silent, except for the soft music playing from the radio. The silence in the car wasn’t awkward in any way, and neither do I feel nervous, all I felt was curiosity or excitement.After Lorenzo and I talked out that little Tuff back at home, we decided to go to somewhere else entirely, but he made sure to remind me that we’d go to the initially place he had planned to take me to today, on some other day, and I hadn’t minded that one bit, not just because it was my fault since I had been the one to take over an hour extra while getting ready, but because the point of this date is to just do something romantic together, no matter how small or tiny it might be, it would definitely still be a date to me.Which is why I was still brimming with excitement right now.“Where are we going?” I asked as I glanced at Lorenzo he was focused on the road since it was quite busy right now. All he could spare me was a fleeting glance before facing the road again as he
Mia’s pov I took in a deep breath from the bunch of flowers which I’ve been holding against my chest since the moment it got gifted to me. It still felt like a dream, and my brain was yet to wrap around it, which is probably why I was still clutching it like it was gonna disappear any time I let go of it. If I was acting weird to Lorenzo, he didn’t point it out, or perhaps, he didn’t mind.As we were exiting the museum, one of the workers who had previously welcomed us in stepped forward and presented Lorenzo with a bunch of flowers which I assumed were already arranged by Lorenzo before hand. When he handed it to me, it felt like all the silly dreams I used to had in the past were coming true all at once.I was very aware that I wouldn’t be able to live a normal life since I was little, but that didn’t stop me from dreaming about being treated like a literal princess by a man. It was still mind blowing and maddening that, that faceless man of my dreams has turned out to be L
