Arielle Walton
He told me to be home in the evening, he didn't tell me why but I don't feel good about this. Walking past the hallways to get to my Dads office room, I couldn't believe my eyes. Mike and Cato were here. I couldn't recognise them at first, they haven't changed much. I had to talk to them because they were in my house.
"Cato?" I told his name just to make sure it's them. He turned around to look at me"Elle?" he asked me,"Yup, that's me" "It's been so long, I've seen you.How you doing girly?" Mike asked, he's physical appearance has change but he's still the same."I'm doing well,but what brings you all here?""We are here to meet Mr Walton, Oh and meet Nonno our grandpa" He gestured his hand to where the old man was sitting. What did he mean by our grandpa? Mike and Cato aren't biological brothers.
"Hello Mr..." saying I reached out to shake his hand,but I realised that I don't know his name "Ruffalo, Dominic Ruffalo. You must be Arielle, the daughter of Anthony Walton ?"I just realised, Mike and Cato are here and I suppose this is his grandfather. Holy cow, please don't be it. I don't even want to see that man's face ever again." Yes, that would be me.""I think your father is waiting for you inside" that's exactly why I don't want to go is most probably with Niccolò.
" Right, then see you in a while."Bracing myself I knocked on the door, please don't be him if it's him I'll oppose the marriage no matter what if it's him."Come in" exhaling a deep breath I pushed the door open. It is him, It's Nic. As soon as his eyes locked with mine, I froze, my legs felt jelly at that moment but thankfully I was gripping the door handle tightly. There he was sitting with one leg on top of his other and his elbow resting on the couch arm rest while his head rested on his fist."Take a seat Ari." my dad spoke zoning me out of it. clearing my throat I reached to the couch which was in front of Nic possibly avoiding eye contact with him.
"So, Ari met Niccolò Ruffalo, and Niccolò this is my daughter Arielle." "It's nice to meet you Ms Walton" saying he reached out for my hand. I just stared at his hand, how possibly out of fifty percent of men do I end up with this man, anyone but him. "Ari?" my dad spoke and eyed me to shake his hand. You snap out of it Arielle."Uhm sorry, Nice to meet you too Mr Ruffalo." I reached out to his hand and shook, he gripped my hand and he didn't let go of my hand, my dad was in front of us. I gave him a forceful smile and tried to pull out from his grip. My dad's phone rang and he excused himself and went outside to answer it. I pulled out a straight face and said
"Let go" "Never again " he spoke with confidence and with a smirk on his face. While I was trying my best to get my hand out of his hold . "You want to come to Italy?" I huffed at his question with my arms crossed."Why would I need to come to Italy?" I asked him with arms crossed in front of my chest.He stood up and took a few steps to come closer to me. His strides were long even though he had to come around due to the coffee table being on his way. My eyes traced every inch of step he took towards me. In no time he was leaning towards me, I leaned back to the couch since his face was coming closer to mine. Closer and closer he came until his lips were inches apart from mine.
"Because you are going to be my wife." The 17 year old me would have died to hear this from the man she loved the most."Who says that I'm going to marry you" I basically whispered because he was so close to me. He gave me a deep chuckle before replying."Everyone but you." I tried to push him away by placing my hand on his shoulder but he didn't move an inch. He just gave me a smirk, the audacity this man has to smirk at me.
"Move, dad might come in" "Your dad knows that we are going to be a married couple so I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind," he spoke with his deep voice. Which made chills go down my spine."I am not going to marry you" I told him all well and clearly."Oh really?" he raised his eyebrow at me with a smirk on his face. This man thinks too ahead of himself just like his 17 year old self."Oh yea." I told him not backing down from it. "Well, your dad already has arranged the date." I was surprised, more frustrated and furious about my dad arranging something behind my back. I'm the one who's getting married, not him. I pushed him this time a bit harshly but he just stood back up to his standing position."Move" I spoke with a harsh tone. He didn't come to argue with me, instead he made way for me to go out. His grandpa and my dad were in conversation, I didn't want to interrupt them so I just headed to my room. Plopping myself on the bed tears gathered to my eyes, I can't marry him I just can't he broke my heart once he'll do it again. I don't want to go through that pain all over again."Ma'am,sir is calling you to join us for dinner with the guest" one of our maids knocked on my door."Tell him I'll be there in a few minutes." saying I wiped my tears, looked at myself in the mirror and went down like nothing happened.Niccolò RuffaloThe rest of the night was well spent at her house, we all had dinner and had a conversation about business but on the other hand Ari wasn't in a good mood at all. But I couldn't take my eyes off her the whole night.I don't think I'll ever be able to in this lifetime. When she entered the room, my breath hitched seeing her in a suit and her hair into a high ponytail. She looked so beautiful, the word isn't enough to describe how magnificent she looked. When she gripped my hand I had this urge to not let it go and all hold on to it forever, I will do that. This time there's no one stopping me from loving her. Finally she became a lawyer, she always wanted to be one when she was in high school I ma glad that our breakup didn't interrupt her from working towards her dream."Can you stop smiling alone please, you look weird" Mike told . My face instantly fell, this man is such an a**hole."Let him smile as long as he wants, he finally reunited with his girl" Cato said. His
Arielle Walton."I will not marry him!" "You have to Ari, it's part of the agreement" my father spoke very calmly and me on the other hand is like my head is on fire."No Dadda, you don't understand I really don't want to marry that jerk.""jerk?, why do you say so ?""just cause.." I struggled to find words to describe him as a jerk, I can't tell him that I dated this man in high school.Sighing I told "I don't know, I just don't like him""You know Ari, I won't let you do it if I know that he is going to harm you in any way.""Yea bu-" "No buts young lady get ready to meet him for lunch oh and did you contact the wedding planner?""What! Why? should I meet him again for lunch?""To obviously talk about your wedding, he's the man you're marrying, not yourself and what did the wedding planner say ?" "She asked me to stick with a theme and I honestly don't want to even participate in the planning its not like I'm marrying the love of my life" saying I shrugged my shoulders"What t
Niccolò Ruffalo"Call me if you need me" she mumbled a small okay and got out of the car, I sat there in the car and looking at the figure walking towards the building. As long as she's safe it puts my mind to ease. I drove away after she disappeared inside the building and making my way to deal with the pending work."Yo, wanna join us for a drink tonight?" Daniel asked me"No I'm good" I told him while fidgeting with my pen."Come on, man I just flew down today from Italy after knowing your going to get married in America""See I told you he's not coming" Mike interrupted" surprisingly, but where's the bride?! I really want too see her?" Daniel spoke with excitement, that made my teeth grind, why would he need to see my woman?"You can see her on that day of the wedding" I spoke with an irritated time to let him know that I'm done with this conversation."Come on, don't be selfish introduce us as well!" I glared at him and Mike hit his back to shut his mouth, sometimes Daniel say
Arielle Walton"Arielle, do you wanna go near the lake with me?"My eyes lit with excitement, the lake was my favourite place"Okay mama!"Walking down the hill to reach the lake which was right next to the house and holding on to mama's hand."Mama, you have very soft hands" she just hummed at me."Ari darling do you want to take a dip with mama in the water?"with no hesitation I nodded my head in excitement. As I was taking my clothes to take a dip in my swimsuit."Arielle, you don't clothes off just get in the water with your clothes" I gave her a confused look yet I agreed because she's my mom . I trust her. She held my hand and started walking towards the water but she didn't stop the water level kept rising up to my chin"Mama, I think I don't want to take a dip anymore" I spoke with water almost filling my mouth yet she ignored me. I couldn't feel the ground suddenly hand kept pushing my head in the water while I struggled to breath and the water feeling my lungs with burning
Niccolò RuffaloI was expecting a call from her in the morning but my expectations were far too high, not even a single text did I receive and it's almost 8 in the morning."What did she do now ?" Mike asked me"Judging from the way he's staring at his phone which is unusual for him when his having breakfast so probably he's waiting for a call or a text" Cato spoke while shrugging his shoulders.That man maybe an introvert but he doesn't know how to handle his mouth at times, I glared at him again came in his infamous shrug. Once in the backseat on my way to work, I kept looking at phone unconsciously and a numerous amount of times. I couldn't help but worry about her, since she would at least drop me a text saying ' thank you ' or ' did you reach home ?'. She tries to act tough but she's very caring and delicate from inside. I hope she didn't fall sick by any chance, should I drop by her home before I go? Maybe she's in her workplace. I grunted at myself for being such an over thin
Arielle WaltonI'm too embarrassed to raise my head, I stopped sobbing but I'm still leaning on his shoulders while he held me and whispered comforting words. I missed this even though I shouldn't be feeling this way. I couldn't control my tears they were flowing like a flooded river, I couldn't realise why would I cry in front of him, a part of me still trusts him and yet the other empty soulless part has second thoughts about it but he was holding me tight as if he let me go I would disappear, the sense of warmth and safety wrapped around me. I want to raise my head and say sorry but I'm such an ugly crier, I've probably wet his suit with tears and boogers. But I couldn't do it, I was too embarrassed to say it after all he's the man who broke my heart. I do have dignity as well. My eyes felt heavy as I slowly start to close my eyes "mia cara, you're burning up again, let's lie down" he pulled away and looked into my eyes soon the sense of warmth was taken away but was filled wi
NiccolòRuffaloI know it's a rehearsal but I couldn't contain my excitement when she was walking down the aisle for the fourth time. The wedding planner wasn't fully satisfied with it so she made her walk a few times up and down. I could see that Ari was visibly irritated, I'm pretty sure that she was exhausted by now. But can't blame me for it, I loved how she walked towards me in the most elegant way.I constantly reminded myself to have my shit together because this is just a rehearsal and I could just imagine her walking down the aisle with her dad and in her wedding dress."Alright ladies and gentlemen, we can wrap up the rehearsals with a one last kiss" she spoke with a grin on her face. Not going to lie I would pay this lady twice the amo
Niccolò RuffaloTaking in a deep breath I took a good look at my reflection, it's my wedding day. I'm marrying the love of my life today, I have never been an impatient man in my 26 years of life but today I am, seeing her walking down the aisle has always been my dream. I kept constantly reminding myself about this whole wedding planning thing, the videographer and the photographer here. Did the wedding plan hire the best hairdresser and the makeup artist? I only want the best for my wife. A knock on the door interrupted me."my man! Let's go ! you're finally settling down and soon I'll be an uncle, make sure you give me a healthy baby!" Mike exclaimed" Calm down let that man breath first" Cato interrupted"he'll breath very well tonight you know what I'm saying" Mike wiggled his eyebrows at me, I couldn't help but break into a smile."Oh my god !! Was I hallucinating or did he really just smiled " he covered his mouth with his mouth in disbelief."I'm not sure either my I think my
