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 says things that sound irrelevant but I tend to ignore him most of the time because he is a close family friend of grandpa not mine and he acts like we both are very close, which we aren't at all.I skipped dinner because it was too lonely to eat alone with me only sitting in the dining table. Speaking of food, I wonder how Ari is. Did she have her dinner or is she asleep since it's almost midnight, gosh I miss her voice so much but then I realised that I don't have her number with me. Darn it, I gave her my number but I didn't ask for her number. Sighing and massaging my the bridge of my nose I was interrupted by my phone ringing from an unknown number.
"Hello" I spoke to the person on the other side of the line"Nic, it's me Ari. there's something wrong with my brakes and it's going at high speed" she spoke choking on her own words, that made my blood go cold "I didn't accelerate but it just happened, I don't know what to do." I threw everything that came on my way and ran to my car," Calm down Ri, tell me which road you are in" I calmed her down ."The road which leads to the lake""' I'm coming baby, wait for me don't cut the line!" I've never driven so fast in my life."You won't be able to make it on time" I'm steeped on the accelerator as hard as I can, thankfully the roads were empty."Nic..." She spoke with horror " there's car following me" I slammed my hand on the steering wheel. How did they get to know about it ?"F*ck baby , calm down I'm coming " the line got disconnected before I get to complete the sentence for f*cks sake I tried to ring her phone again but it kept telling her phone is off. I grunted from frustration. As I was getting closer to the lake I could see something explode right above the water my blood ran cold again I've never feared my life before but her one us important to me the car that was following stopped right at the edge of the deck and three men were standing and watching the pieces of the car float .I took my gun and got out of the car, the noise of shutting door made their attention turn towards to me, they charged at me and on mean tried to punch my face but I dodged it and threw him into the lake. one down two more to go. The other came running with a long piece of wood I didn't waste any time took my gun and shot him in the leg which made him cry in pain and he lost his balance and fell into the water, these motherf*ckers. The other one standing was pointing his gun and threatening to kill me if I came and closer. I don't give a flying F*ck about it and shot him to death. its when I started to look for her, I shouted my lungs out by calling her name but I got no response. On the other side I heard water splashing, there she was I ran to the other side of the deck bent down to reach her hand
"Come on tesoro, grab my hand" I told her, she was inches away from my hand."Fuck Ari!" she was dragged underwater. I removed my coat and jumped into the water without any hesitation. My eyes burned when I opened my eyes underneath but I manage to keep them wild open and search for her and the man with a coat was pulling her Dow and she struggled to get out his grip, she kicked him in the face but didn't let go I quickly swam down and aimed my gun at him to shoot him arm he was holding the knife.While he let go of her arm to hold his wounded hand , I grabbed her hand and she opened her mouth lightly which made all the air she was holding in to let go I bought her close to my lips and opened her mouth with my tongue to let her in some air. When we pulled apart she soften her eyes at me and I couldn't help but hold her eyes with mine, her eyes still looked pretty but we both couldn't wait any longer holding out breath. I wrapped my hand around her waist and swam up, we both came up panting heavily she had her arms around my neck holding me real tight she looked at me again and she was going to say something but I shushed her lips by keeping my finger on her lips and pointing towards the deck. Two other man were looking at the surrounding and probably his worker lying dead on the deck.I came closer to her and whispered
"Let's move under the deck before they see us" she nodded at me and tried to swim but her arms and legs must be tired. So I went in front of her and lead her arms across my neck and swam with her until we reached under the wooden deck. I turned around and slid my hand around her waist to bring her closer to me since it was cold. Her weight shifted towards my body as I held her even tighter. Her eyes grew tired, she rested her cheek on my upper chest closer to my shoulder . I whispered to her"Dont fall a sleep baby""I'm not" she answered me with a small voice.I could hear footsteps sound growing further and further away and a sound of a car starting, they must be gone. I looked down at her and said
"Tesoro, they're are gone we can go out now" she gave an exhausted look and swam to get on the deck, the deck seemed taller since the water level is reduced. She grabbed the wooden deck and tried her best to push her self up while I held her waist to push her up and I accidentally touched her butt to push her up. That round thing felt good to my hand and I felt the heat run up to my cheeks.Niccolò ! get back to your god damn sense.Once she was up the deck I pushed myself out of the water and sat on the deck, while I saw her lying on the ground and she started to cough. I hurried next to her and held her head and bought her into a sit up to an upright position."Are you okay bambina? do you need got to hospital ?" I asked in a worried tone and removed the wet hair blocking her face. She just shook her head" I just want to go home and sleep" she answered in a quavering voice, while her eyes started to water she and started to shiver. I couldn't figure out if she was crying or just the excess water in her eyes I grabbed the coat sitting on the edge of deck and wrapped it around her fragile body to give warmth and carried her inside the car in bridal style, her being stubborn she refused to be carried."put me down, I'm heavy and I can walk " I ignored her knowing that she is a stubborn girl and won't listen to me. I safely put her in the passenger seat and turned on the heater to keep her warm. While I went out there to see any evidence on who set this trap on my fiancee, I slightly moved his sleeve which was covering up his black spade tattoo. They are coming after her now, I should have our marriage as soon as possible.Once I get into the car and started to drive to her house."Nic" came out her angelic voice and she looked up at me with her doe tired eyes"Yes Bambina, do you need anything ?""Thank you" she spoke softly which made my heart swell."Is anyone at home at this time?""No one is there , you can drop me at home"" No way your going to stay at home alone after this incident""You can stay" she said while fidgeting her finger nail."Go to sleep tesoro" she slowly closed her eyes.I've never been happier, she called me when she was in danger. Ari called me when she needed me. My cold heart felt warm again after ages, only she has that control over me and her voice would make my knees weak. Once we reached to her place I opened her door while she was still asleep and unbuckled the seat belt while I felt her breath on my cheek.
"Bambina, wake up we're here" I spoke as softly as possible trying not startle her. I slid my hands beneath her knees and one across her waist and lifted her up and went to the door she knocked on the door and it revealed an old lady I assume that she works here. The look of horror on her face made Ari speak"I'm okay Gina, I just fell into the water fountain. And make sure not to tell Dadda or my brothers" she told her putting on a fake smile."You can put me down now Nic, I think I can walk now""No thinking,it's hard for you to walk, please show me her room" Gina guided us to her room while her head was resting on my chest. I kept her feet on the ground and held from her waist just to make sure she can stand straight,"I'll have a wash and come meanwhile Gina give my fiance a pair of clothes for him to spend the night" she told Gina with a gloomy tone yet the word my fiance, made me glow with pride and her just marking me as hers is huge tick off my bucket list. I left her in the room by herself while Gina guided me to the guest room which was right next to her room."I'm sorry sir for asking this but did she really fall into a water fountain or a lake ?" Gina asked me"Why do you ask me that ?" I asked her suspiciously" I was here with her from the day she was born and I took care if her after her mother got a divorce from her father, her experience with lakes weren't a very pleasant one" I nodded my head and said" she did fall into a lake, is there something I am missing ?""I'm very sorry again if ma'am didn't tell you, I have no right to complete her story" she spoke without being able to look in my eye . " I'll leave you be now" saying she left the room leaving me behind with a whole set of new clothes.The cold water dripping on my skin made me think back, she once told me that she was a never a fan of lakes during high school but she always dodged the question when I asked her the reason. I want to know and shield her from everything that's hurting her mentally and physically even if it means fighting in her nightmares for her. After dressing myself in the sweatpants and a white tee I wanted to check up on a her but I wasn't sure if she was comfortable enough to have me in her room. I knocked on her door but I got no response so I knocked again yet no response
"I'm coming in " saying I opened the door slightly and there she was sleeping like an angel sent from above, she looked so peaceful while she was a sleep and buried against the soft pillows,i found squatting in front of her bed as I removed a strand of hair causing to block her beautiful face and gave a kiss on her forehead "You're safe with me bambina" I whispered as lightly as possible* Translations *
tesoro - sweetheart/ treasureBambina - babyArielle 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
Arielle WaltonI just stood there stunned by his actions, what in the hell just happened I asked myself. I was stunned yet I could feel my eyes being watery. Did he just kiss me? but for what ? does he us even care about me or am I being delusional or is he actually playing with my feelings.when he asked me what happened to my hand in a deep husky voice yet demanding I was taken back the way he spoke. For a minute I was convinced that he actually cared about me but in reality he doesn't . But he said none of this was fake. When he took off my gloves and asked me how did I get many scars on my hands my naive heart sang in ecstasy, it was indeed from paper cuts from dealing with bundle of papers but he looked like he would kill for me. He didn't look like it but he said it himself, I'm very confused. I kept asking myself over and over again what in the world is wrong with that man."Elle, you okay ?" Gabi asked in concern" I don't know " I spoke honestly with eyes watering"Take a seat
NICCOLÒ RUFFALOThe goddamn son of bitches, how dare they come crash my wedding and go after my wife. My blood was boiling, which made me go out of control with a gun. The people covered in black are definitely the black spades, As I was behind a rolled over table using it as a cover, Mike crawled to me "Cato's injured, go after your wife. We'll take care of these people" "Fuck" I mumbled to myself and darted through the men killing each other "Niccolò go soon, she's in the room protect her with your life " saying her dad scurried off. halting at the hallway I tried to figure out or room number, I internally cursed myself for being this forgetful suddenly I heard a glass shattering at end of the hallway which made me run up to room 13 and tried to open the handle it was locked, her scream made chills go down my spine. I kept banging on the door and shouting her name.None of it was helping, I had only one bullet left in my gun, I shot the door handle and it opened but the sight i
ARIELLE RUFFALOI safely made it to our suite, yet my mind was worried about the incident there. Is everyone safe?I hope no one dies. After all, it's my wedding day. I don't want it to become a funeral for anyone, especially the people I know. The small cut in my hand started to sting, I went to the bathroom and stripped naked letting the blood splattered dress fall into the ground. I scanned my naked body from the reflection and stepped into the shower to let warm water soak in through my hair and skin, which made me relax. My bouncy black hair was all dampened in water and soap trying to get rid of the hair setting spray. I came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around my body, I searched in cupboards and drawers for a first aid kit to apply some ointment for the little injury and finally managed to get hold of it after requesting one from the staff, I opened my suitcase only to find a black sexy lingerie and a short sitting in the empty suitcase, I could feel the heat rising
