CHAPTER 55
#Bella’s P. O. V
I sit up and grab my head. It feels like someone is hitting me with a hammer.
“Here”Nicoli says and gives me two pills. I swallow them and drink the glass of water he also gave me.
“My head”I moan grabbing my head in pain
“Let me”Nicoli removes my hands and he starts messaging my temples.
“Don’t stop”I moan closing my eyes. His hands feel like magic then suddenly he stops messaging me.
“Why did you stop?”I grumble. Looking around the room . we are not in our room!
“Where are we?”I question looking around. The room is huge but not bigger than our room. It has curtains covering two sides of the wall.
“One of my Penthouses”Nicoli answers pressing a botton from the remote his holding and the curtain opens up showing the beautiful sky through the glass that cover the two walls.
“Why are we here?”I question walking to the glass wall and looking down. The city looks so beautiful from up here.
“What do you last remember?”Nicoli questions. What do I last remember?.
I remember going with Nicoli to work, The fight, getting drunk and Nicoli saving me.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“Everything”I answer my voice coming out as weak and sad as I feel.
“Malishka I’m sorry. how can I make it up to you?”Nicoli asks looking at me with a look of pain and sadness. He really does regrett what he said.
“Let’s play 20 questions”I tell him sitting down on the fancy white carpet.
“20 questions”Nicoli chuckles but he sits down next to me.
“I’ll start. What’s your favourite colour”I ask. I know its the most common question asked but I’ll start small.
“Black. You?”He also asks.
“Blue”I smile and take a deep breath now it’s time to kick it up.
“Are you russian?”I question its always confusing because his Russian accent isn’t thick like Sarah but its noticable.
“No I’m not. My mother Used to live here but Sarah moved to Russia because her job required it.. There she meet my father who was on a business trip and got pregnant. She and my father moved here but she moved back with me a few years after that”He says and I nod my head.
“Do you like Andrew”He asks making me laugh. “Of course not”I tell him.
“Why did you move back? “I ask him but he doesn’t answer.
“I’d rather not say”He says clenching his fists. Whatever the reason was it’s dark and not a memory he likes.
“Okay so How did you meet Anastasia”He seemed more relaxed by this question than the last one.
“She used to be my assistant.”He says.
“Okay how about this tell me your whole history with her”I tell him.
Nicoli didn’t seem to like the question but he still agrees.
“My past with Anastasia is not something I like but… I’ll tell you”He takes a deep breath and starts.
“Before I came back here I was the CEO of one of my dad’s companies in Russia. Anastasia was my assistant and that’s how she got me. She seduced me every chance she got and I fell for it like an idiot.” He says his voice slightly rising at the end.
“I knew I didn’t love Anastasia”He chuckles bitterly looking at me.
“But she was a seductress and I allowed her to think she was playing me. Anastasia always seemed cautious but I was a little naive back then.” he paused then continued
“Anastasia lied to me and said she was pregnant and I fell for it. I was in love with the thought of having a child”He smiles at the thought.
“But it was all a lie when I found out I broke up with her but she was a maniac she tried to kill me and that’s how I got the scar on my chest” Nicoli says lifting up his shirt showing me the scar and his hot six pack.
“When i woke up my father said he would find and kill her. We never did find that bitch so we all assume she’s dead”He shrugs.
“She was crazy”I said.. how could she lie about a baby.
“Yep and after her I promised myself to never let a woman have that much power over me”He says looking at me.
I plant my lips on his. Nicoli doesn’t wait before responding and he kisses me back with just as much passion.
Nicoli somehow manages to shift us from our sitting positions to him lying on the floor and me straddling him.
I slowly pull away from the kiss and stare into his beautiful eyes.
“Ti farò cambiare quella promessa”I say letting the Italian in me out.
Translation: (I’ll make you change that promise”)
Nicoli looks at me weirdly. “What did you say”He questions and I laugh out.
“You never told me what you say in Russian so why should I?”I shrug getting off of Nicoli and walking to the bathroom.
I look for an unused toothbrush and use that to brush my teeth once I’m done I take off my clothes and something catches my eye. The familiar red stain on my underwear letting me know its that time of the month.
Period!!
Why can’t mother nature just be like ‘Hey I just wanted to let you know your not pregnant…. see you next month’
My head starts to feel dizzy and the familier pain in my stomach causes me to hold my stomach in pain.
I’m one of those girls who sometimes suffer on there periods.
I peep outside the bathroom door and look around till I spot Nicole who is sitting perfectly relaxed on the bed.
My cheeks start burning as I think of how I’m gonna ask him to get me some pads since I hate tampons.
“Nicoli can you umm….”I cut my sentence short . I really wish the world would open up and swallow me right now.
“What is it Malishka?”Nicoli gets up from the bed and walks towards me.
“Umm you see I’m on my… period ” I whisper the last part out.
“What?”Nicoli asks again.
“I’m on my period” I repeat starting to get irritated.
“What?” He asks again.
“I’M ON MY F*CKING PERIOD” I yell in frustration but I instantly regrett it. I’m sure I look like a red tomato right now.
“I’ll go get you something” Nicoli runs out the room with his wallet in place. Wow I really expected him to blush or freak out like most men.
I enter the bathroom and take a nice hot shower to get clean After I’m done I wrap myself and my hair in a towel.
“Malishka”Nicoli calls from the other side. I open the door and grab the bag in his hands.
“I also need clothes”I tell him and he nods his head. A few minutes later Nicoli comes back with some clothes.
I grab the clothes and put them on and the p… he got for me. There were about 4 different brands in the bag.
I walk to the giant living room and find Nicoli on the giant couch with lots of snacks on the centre table.
“What’s all this?”I ask pointing to the food and blanket his holding.
“I figured you’d be in pain. So why not make things comfortable for you”He smiles and I couldn’t help but smile as well.
I sit down in the couch and watch the movie he played,,
I cuddle myself into his side with the blanket keeping us warm.
For the first time I can say I’m truly falling for Nicoli and I hope he’ll be there to catch me.
