The Heart That Makes Me Whole

Alaia's POV

I managed to dress myself into dark colored leggings and a similar color shirt that went over my bum. Marco showed up soon after just like he said he would.

"Are you sure Nick won't mind, i don't want to cause any problems" i say to him after he suggests us going out for a walk.

"Now why would you cause any problems?"

"You tell me, weren't you fighting blood and sweat because of Rhea the other night" i scoff.

"Rhea? You think Nick punched me because of Rhea..?" he asks looking surprised.

"I heard what she said. Nick was defending her"

"Yeah well, that's what she thought. But its wasn't because of her, trust me."

"Whatever, So, twenty six years old huh? " i tease, trying to change the subject as we walked through the estate grounds.

"Just the right age for someone for you" He says with a smirk. I shake my head. Wrong subject.

"This place is really beautiful" I digress.

"Yeah, it is, and to think we almost lost it all, if it wasn't for Nick"
