Elle POV.
“Time to wake up princess” Nikolai tries to wake me up, I pushed his hand away, why does he wake up so early, I want to sleep some more but Nikolai was relentless until he got me to wake up with me whining and groaning.
“I hate waking up” I inform him, I wasn’t in a happy mood this morning, he just smiles and land a kiss on lips making me smile, I love the kisses.
“I got you coffee, you love coffee” he says, I nod yes, I do love coffee, if there’s coffee I’m okay with waking up, I lift myself up the bed and take the mug taking a big sip of life.
“It’s too bitter” I say, although I learned to know Nikolai is good with almost everything, but not with coffee, not the way I love to drink it.
“You’re just fussy, your coffee is sweet enough, too much sugar would hurt you” he says, it’s just all an excuse to why he forgot to add sugar to my coffee, I kept drinking it, I won’t stop drinking my coffee whether it’s with sugar or without it.
“I’m driving you to work today” he tells me, I just nod my head, yeah, yeah…but then I remember why, I’m supposed to meet with my psycho today, what if Nikolai sees her and go crazy on me, what if he kills her.
“You know I can go alone” I say trying to sound nonchalant.
“Driving you princess, or do you need another reminder who’s the one in charge here?” he asks, remembering the way he reminded me who’s the one in charge yesterday, my kitty started throbbing again, I just drowned some more hot coffee to forget it.
“Brush your teeth when you’re done” he reminds me fixing his tie on his neck, while I’m still in bed looking like a zombie.
“Us zombies don’t brush our teeth” I say with a growl.
“I won’t be kissing you if you have death breath” he answers me teasingly.
“”You don’t kiss me to begin with” I tease him back, but that was my wrong move, he moved toward me locking me between his two arms, with the hot coffee still in my hands, I tried to keep it steady not to splash myself and the bed.
“Do I now?” he asks before our lips meets, he wasn’t going gently, his kiss was dominant, his tongue invading my mouth, I couldn’t help the moan that left my mouth, he’s going to be the death of me, this kiss made me lose myself, I couldn’t think about anything but his lips on mine, nothing but me and him.
“Careful now” he says taking the coffee out of my shaky hands placing it on the bedside now.
“Go get ready” he says landing a small kiss on my shocked open mouth, before walking toward the door, leaving the room, leaving me to get ready, right get ready.
“And by the way princess, your breath tastes like coffee” he says on second thought before leaving the room this time for real.
I pushed myself out of the bed and moved toward the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror I could see my red tinted cheeks, the way my lips are all pink from the kiss, my heart that’s beating so quickly now, I loved the kiss, I’m excited about the kiss. I washed my face, not really wanting to wash my lips but had to, I brushed my teeth too, and got dressed. What do I wear? I’ll have to change to my uniform, but I might see her before, or maybe after, I want to look pretty for her, I still care too much. I decided to go with a skirt and a shirt, the way she likes me to dress, I tried to fix my hair, I’m not the best at it, but I tried, I even added some make up, or at least I tried.
Once I was done I walked downstairs for breakfast and to meet with Nikolai, on my way down, I met Paul, he looked me up and down with a smile.
“You look pretty today smiler” he says making me smile even more.
“Got plans for today?” he asks.
“We going to work” I answer with a shrug, I’m not mentioning any of that to him, although he’s my friend, his loyalties lies with Nikolai.
“Too fancy for work” he says.
“Just felt like it” I say with a shrug.
We almost made it down to breakfast that’s when we met with Angelo, my enemy around here, but at least I had Paul too, he talked something in Italian, but I was pretty sure he meant some bad words, by the way Paul was looking at him.
“You want to protect the Putta too?” Angelo asks.
“Fuck off Angelo, you don’t want Nikolai to hear anything about this now do you?” Paul answer him, making Angelo’s face fall.
“Running to him so quickly?” he says between gritted teeth, he was out of things to say, I wasn’t in a playing words with him mood anymore, all I wanted was to get to work and see if she’s really there or not.
“Let’s go Paul, he’s not worth it” I tell my friend trying to drag him along with me back toward the dining table ignoring all of his comments that are thrown behind us, we’re just leaving, I got better things to do in my life, like ruining it maybe.
I took my regular seat next to Nikolai, too lazy to get my own plate ready, I got a fork and stole from of his, he eats three times more than I do, I’m not big on eating early in the morning, I just steal few bites from his food.
“Juice?” he asks offering me his glass, I nod and take a sip of his glass, we still get weird looks when we do that, when he takes care of me, when he shows his gentle side, but I don’t understand why everyone is afraid of him, he’s nice for a mafia boss.
After breakfast we moved to his office for a while he had some things to catch on up at home, while I had to work on my stories, speaking of that, he never gave me my phone back.
“Uhm daddy” I say in my sweetest voice.
“Yes?” he answer not looking at me.
“Can I get my phone back please, I want to check my books before we leave” I say adding the puppy eyes to the whole deal.
“Fine” he agrees handing me my phone back, I took it with a big wide smile on my face.
“Thank you” I say getting my phone back, I checked the comments, the messages, my message board, but nothing back from her. I’ll have to make it to work and see what would happen, I was too nervous to work anymore, I’m just sitting there looking at my comments pretending to be busy.
“Time to go” he says, I nod and get up, holding his hand, we walked out to his car, he opened the door for me, helping me inside putting my seatbelt on for me.
“You look beautiful today” he randomly say as he drives us off toward my work, I just smile and nod.
“Thank you sir” I say.
“Sir? I thought I was daddy now” he says, he’s right, but ever since I heard the message from psycho, I just couldn’t get myself to say it anymore, it felt like I’m faking it.
“Thank you daddy” I force myself to say it, it wasn’t natural this time, but at least he didn’t notice.
“Have a nice day love” he says parking the car and letting me out of the car, helping me with the seatbelt again.
“Thank you daddy, you too” I answer him with a big fake smile, I walked inside my work looking around, there was no one, she wasn’t here, I made another look at the costumers and she’s not here. I’m just being paranoid today, I should get to work, this all my overactive imagination, I’m with Nikolai now, I can’t betray him.
