Betrothed To The Mafia Lord

Chapter 207

Sofia’s POV

I was sitting in the middle of all the books I was trying to sort out and I’ve been getting carried away

each time I pick up a particular book to check the back of the cover for the blurb. My insides were

bursting with energy and I was finding it really hard to concentrate on what I was currently doing.

I was in a little short and another large shirt without a bare beneath the shirt this time. After taking my

bath, I decided not to head outside anymore since my books have already been placed in my bedroom

by no other than Matilda. Before going into the shower, I had paused outside the bathroom, before the

mirror in order to check how my throat looked, and it honestly looked really awful. The marks were

really dark and looked oh so angry, but I had no idea as to why me seeing those marks against my skin

was making my insides twist in a weird kind of way.

The fact that I didn’t hate those said marks and wanted it to always be around my throat, so that each

time I stare at it, I’d get reminded of Luca and how he made that appear on my throat. It was a really

weird feeling and I know that, but I couldn’t seem to shake the feeling of pride and satisfaction off my

body each time I got reminded of those marks… and then I proceeded to go take a shower with my

insides still twisting around with a low heat burning in it.

At the moment, I was trying to sort my books out to no avail. The new teddy I just got today was on the

bed behind me while I was sitting on the floor in a cross legged position. I've yet to find a name for the

teddy, but I wanted to name it so badly at this point.

I glanced up at the wall clock here in the bedroom and worried my teeth over my bottom lip when my

eyes registered what the time currently says. It was some minutes after eight in the night and I was

hoping Luca would be here soon. I wanted to get to lay my eyes on him and be able to feel his door

against me and be able to kiss him and feel his hands against my body.

I breathed out a sigh as I pushed my hair out of my face and continued to do what it was that I had

been trying to do with the books ever since I took a seat right here on the ground.

After a few more minutes, I was starting to pack the books back into the carton, with a few selected

ones arranged in a different spot at the back of my folded leg. I was about to push those cartons beside

my bedside table when I heard the bedroom door start to get pushed open, and I held my breath

instantly before turning my head around and facing the bedroom door.

I locked eyes with Luca almost immediately and I felt the breath in my lungs get pushed out in a small

gasp. I could feel my insides starting to tighten up at that particular moment, just as my stomach started

to feel like that burning heat was only getting more intense as each second slipped past the clock. I

couldn’t help it, I broke into a small grin and felt my heart skip a thousand beats when he quietly shut

the door behind him and paused for a moment behind it, with his eyes locked on my face, as he stared

at me in that particular kind of way that was making my belly swoop over and over again.

I was super excited to see him, after hoping for him to get back for a while now. But now that he was

here right now, I was feeling extremely shy before him, and I was feeling really small beneath his deep

and sharp gaze. He started to make his way towards me after a few more seconds and I felt the smile

slowly slide off my face, just as my stomach started to tighten up really more in that particular moment.

I pushed myself to my feet and closed the rest of the distance between us, staring up at him and

digging my lower lip into my teeth as I tried desperately to ignore the heat in my stomach as I placed

my hands lightly on his suit jacket.

“Hi Luca.” I whispered in a low voice, feeling a smile threatening to split out on my face in the next

second.

“How are you, bunny?” He mumbled out in a low voice and I felt a small shudder run down my spine at

that particular moment.

I flush red in embarrassment for a few seconds before starting to speak. “I’m good, and excited.” I

murmured to him, bouncing on my legs a little.

“You are?” He asked and I nodded my head instantly, feeling my hair fall into my face almost

immediately.

“I got the order you sent… and um, the gifts…” I trailed off and ducked my head a little as I felt color

rush into my cheeks.

“You did?” He asked and I felt his hand start to creep around my waist almost immediately, feeling him

pull my body against his hard one, and emitting a small shudder to slide down my body.

I glanced up at him after a few seconds to nod my head a few times before starting to speak. “I did. I

had no idea you always listen to me each time I talk.” I was confused and blinked a couple of times

when I felt it start to sting.

His other hand slid up my back to dig into my hair, with his first hand tightened on my waist.

“Why would you think that?” He asked in a voice that sounded genuinely surprised and I shrugged a

little, feeling his eyes prince into mine due to how intense his stare was at the moment.

“Um, I just felt that you’d be way too busy to actually listen to me and still keep whatever it is that I say,

in your head.” I paused and swallowed emptily before continuing. “When I spoke to you about those

books yesterday, I most definitely didn’t expect you to actually do a thing about it- even though you said

everything was going to be alright.”

I sniffed a little, feeling my eyes start to sting once again as my heart raced really fast, my heart was

currently racing fast to the extent that it was vibrating to the sides of my chest, I also felt it start to

overfill with so many emotions all at once.

“And you also remembered to get the wine as well.” I paused and blinked a couple of times before

continuing.

“You also decided to get me a huge teddy…” I trailed off as I felt a tear slip out from my left eye to slide

down my cheek, and I allowed my eyes to slide close in that particular moment as I tried to catch my

breath and get my breathing pattern under a little bit of control.

“I also saw the little letter inside the pocket of the teddy, thanks for taking me out to the restaurant as

well.” I continued after a few seconds, feeling my heart start to skip at that particular moment as I

remembered the little note I had seen inside the sides of the pocket. It was in a cute little envelope and

there had been a lot of cuter little hearts over all the parts of the card. I had opened the card instantly

and that was where I saw the note, and it was basically just him thanking me for going to dinner with

him.

He reached up with his hand which had been wrapped around my waist before, and he reached for my

face and cupped my face in his wide hands. His hand was warm and soft as it pressed into the side of

my cheek, making me start to tremble a little. His thumb wiped over the stray tear that had slipped out

of my left eye in that particular moment before he finally started to speak.

“Don’t ever think I wouldn’t listen to you when you talk to me.” Luca started to speak in a low bit fierce

voice, and I shivered a little as I had no other choice than to stare up at him since his hand at the side

of my face was holding my face firmly in his grip.

I swallowed emptily without saying a thing and after a few moments had passed by, he decided to

continue to speak.

“How could I not listen to you when you speak? I love listening to you talk. You’re so mesmerizing and

you have no idea of how much I love listening to you speak. I could listen to you speak throughout a

whole day without getting bored, and I can never listen to you speak without keeping what it is that you

have talked about, inside my head.” He continued and I I felt my eyes start to sting once again, as soon

as his whole words had sank into my head, making my heartstrings start to tug

towards a lot of directions all at once.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
