Breakfast & Laughter

Playlist for this Chapter: Daylight by Taylor Swift, Lover by Taylor Swift.

I woke up to a gentle stroke on my cheek. Opening my eyes a bit, I groaned when the light hit my eyes directly.

"Nooooo I want to sleep more. Just five more minutes..." I whined and heard a deep chuckle that made me feel warm and fuzzy. I pulled the covers over my head and snuggled closer to his chest. His hand ran i my hair as he kissed the top of my head.

"Come on darling we have to go out today." He said and I peeked out to look at his beautiful face.

"Really? Are we going sightseeing?" I asked him and he nodded. I squealed and threw the covers aside and jumped on Nico, hugging him tightly.

"Thank you thank you thank you!" I told him and he laughed. I pulled away and straddled him.

"Mmm. You look good in my shirt.." He said and I blushed, running my hands over his bare chest, when the door was opened suddenly and Stuart stumbled in followed by Adriana and Jake.

"What happened?! Who died?!" Stuart exclaimed and stood up straighter when he saw Nico's furious gaze directed towards them.

"Oh god, we came at the wrong time." Adriana looked at me straddling Nico and my face went red as I looked at them.

"Out! All of you! Get the fuck out!" Nico shouted and they all ran out snickering. Nico pushed me off and I fell onto the bed while he hovered over me and started kissing my neck, sucking at my skin.

"Nico..." I whined but he didn't let go, but moved to kissing my chest. A knock was heard at our door and Nico groaned.

"What is it?" He shouted and the knocking paused for a moment.

"Breakfast is ready Mr. King." The man spoke and went. I pushed Nico from on top of me and he followed me to the bathroom. We had a nice, long shower. And by long I mean I got down on my knees once again.

Once we were done, I slipped into a bath robe and looked around for clothes in my suitcase for the day out. I decided on wearing a plaid miniskirt with a dark blue turtleneck on top. I quickly pulled up my stockings and slipped on my ankle high black boots after straightening my hair.

Just as I was putting on some eyeliner, Nico came to stand behind me and fix his collar and coat jacket in the mirror. I gave my eyeliner my full concentration and suddenly felt a sting on my ass

I yelped and turned around to a smirking Nico.

He slapped my ass. Unbelievable.

I glared at him. "What the hell Nico?" I said and he looked at me finally.

"It's not my fault such a perfect ass was displayed in front of me." He grinned and I rolled my eyes, turning back to the mirror and putting on my ring and struggling with the necklace. Nico saw me struggling and took it from me, pushing my hair to a side he clipped it on while I admired it.

"You look beautiful." He whispered in my ear, biting my earlobe light and then placing a kiss on my cheek.

"Thanks. You look..." I roamed my eyes over his crisp suit, a navy blue color and a white shirt underneath. I raised my eyebrow at him.

"Matching? Seriously? I didn't think you were into that kind of stuff." I told him and he shrugged.

"Saw your shirt lying there so I thought I'd match. You can tell me how good I look now." He said and I shook my head.

"You look really handsome. Satisfied?" I asked him and he grinned, taking my hand and we went downstairs to the dining room, where I saw a few people from the dinner yesterday waiting for us.

"Ah finally!" Adriana exclaimed as we took our seats and breakfast was served. We ate in a comfortable silence, and I noticed there was a man I didn't see yesterday also here. He was currently talking to Jake and Stuart.

"So do you live here?" I asked Adriana who smiled.

"No, we just came to stay the night. We live close though." I nodded, sipping my apple juice and she grinned mischievously.

"Although, you won't have to worry about anyone else walking in on you and Nico like that, especially when you were..." She trailed off and I choked on the juice. Everyone looked at us suspiciously because Adriana was a little too loud for her own good.

"That's enough." Nico said firmly, rubbing my back. "And just so you know, there's something known as fucking knocking." He glared at Stuart and Jake who averted their eyes.

"Sorry Ace, we heard someone laughing and came in." Stuart explained and Nico frowned.

"You came in because I was laughing?" He asked them and they looked at him in disbelief.

"It was you? You were the one laughing?" Adriana asked and the man I didn't recognize looked at us.

"So the boy can laugh." He said and Nico narrowed his gaze at them.

"What's wrong with laughing?"

"Nothing it's just... you never laugh like that... It's usually like an evil chuckle or something.. We thought someone died." Stuart explained and Nico frowned.

"Do I laugh that bad?" He said and glanced at me and I laughed at him.

"No Nico, your laugh is... its amazing... very addictive and infectious you know." I told him and saw his family smiling at us. Nico gave me a satisfied smile and kissed my hand as we continued through breakfast.

After breakfast I was led to a sleek black car while Nico went to do something important. While I was waiting for him to return, the unfamiliar man walked over to me and smiled.

"Hello dear, I'm Stefano. Ace's uncle." He said and I gave him a warm smile, recognizing some of is features similar to that of Nico's.

"Hello. It's nice to meet you sir. I'm Dove." I said and he nodded.

"So I've heard. You've caused quite the stir in our family haven't you?" He said and I frowned.

"Pardon?"

"Oh I meant Ace. He's more... lively now." He said and I shrugged.

"And Sofia." He chuckled. "You set her straight too. Something us men with guns couldn't do you did with words." He looked at me with admiration and I smiled.

"Words can do wonders. They can make or break a person depending on how you say them." I told him and he nodded.

"You're right. It's good to have someone like you in the family. A breath of fresh air. Just what we all needed. Especially Ace. Thank you for that." He told me and I gave him a wide smile, and he turned back and went inside, just as Nico came out.

They exchanged a few words and Nico came over to me, grinning.

"So what were you two talking about?" He asked me and I looked at him while he drove.

"Oh he just introduced himself. And said some stuff about me." I told him and he nodded, deep in thought.

"And what did he say to you?" He asked me suspiciously and I smiled at his protectiveness.

"Don't worry Nico, all good things. Apparently I'm a breath of fresh air in your family and a good change for everyone. Especially you." I said and Nico chuckled.

"Well that's true." He said and intertwined our fingers together as I stared out at the roads.

"How so?" I asked him.

"Well... Let's just say I've started laughing and smiling a lot more than I did. And I have no idea why, but the thought of sleeping with anyone else but you feels so fucking disgusting." He said as if he wasn't believing himself and I laughed.

"Isn't that a surprise?" I said and he smiled.

"I know right?" He said glancing at me briefly. "But really. I'm grateful for your presence in my life. You're like a miracle to me Dove. And I plan on keeping you by my side."

My heart felt like it was going to beat right out my chest as the butterflies erupted in my stomach.

"I plan on keeping you too." I whispered but I knew he heard it the way he smiled and his grip on my hand tightened.

Can I keep you forever?
