Page 19 of Aria De Luca
She has been a significant help for the past few weeks.
Right now, I am sitting down on the bathroom toilet washing this cut I got on my arm. While I was fighting someone this guy sliced his knife on my arm.
It burns like a bitch but it's nothing I can't handle.
I hear mumbling from outside of the door making me stop cleaning the cut. I pull my sleeve down and turn off the sink.
Dante's estate was in Athens so it's going to be around an hour or two flight. Hopefully, it's not two hours because I really want to get home.
I open the bathroom door and turn off the bathroom light before walking out. I look to my left and see Aria sleeping on the bed. The only bathroom on the plane is the one in the bedroom so I had to walk into the bedroom to get to the bathroom.
"Always and forever," Aria mumbles in her sleep.
I raise my eyebrow at her and walk closer to her until I am next to her.
"What did he do to you?" I whisper before reaching my arm out to push a strand of her hair behind her ear.
Once I did that her eyes open and she grabs my arm, the one that has the cut on it, and she twists it before pushing me against the wall.
I gave her some food before she fell asleep, so she is definitely a lot stronger than she was before when I threw her over my shoulder.
"What the hell were you doing?" Aria asks as her lips touch the back of my ear.
I almost groan from being this close to her again.
I could easily push her off of me, but I don't want to, at least not right now.
"You were mumbling in your sleep."
"Doesn't give you permission to touch me," she says as she twists my arm more, making me wince.
I push myself off the wall and turn around grabbing Aria and pushing her down on the bed. My knee is on the bed in between her legs and my hands are holding her wrists down on the bed.
"Why are you being like this?" I ask her as she just stares up at me with a straight face.
"Because I don't know you," Aria says softly.
Her voice sounds as soft and sensual as ever. Even when she isn't doing it to make me feel better or feel some type of way towards her.
"Yes, you do," I say while leaning closer to her.
"I don't," she says while furrowing her eyebrows at me. "Get off." As I am about to get off of her the door opens and I see Alex with his hand on the knob. "Alex."
I get off of her fully and Alex walks closer to her and wraps his arms around her. "Oh god, Aria," he mumbles while wrapping his arms around her tighter. "You're okay," he says in a relieved voice.
"I missed you so much," Aria says at the same time I see a small tear roll down her cheek.
I put my hands in my pockets while I watch them hug and tell one another how much they missed each other.
"I missed you, too." After a few more seconds they release one another from the hug and Aria wipes the tear off her cheek. "You're okay. I promise," Alex says while rubbing her shoulder.
"I was so scared. I don't know what happened. Did Dante hurt anyone?" Aria asks Alex and then he looks at me with furrowed eyebrows.
I shrug my shoulders and Alex looks back at Aria.
"What happened?"
"He is awful, Alex. I want to kill him. Where is he?"
