Delilah Morecelli

Chapter 24

I woke up struggling to breathe. I look around but all I see was pitch black. Wait where am I?

It hit me that I slept over Nikolai's house, and he's quite literally squishing me to death. I try to wiggle out from underneath him but he's too heavy.

He groans and finally gets off me, I took in lungful breath of air only to stop mid way when he puts his head on my stomach. He's hugging my waist and mumbling things in his sleep. I thread my fingers through his hair.

I need to use the restroom. I gently pick up his head and place him gently on a pillow. I was about to get up when he catches my wrist and pulls me on top of him. He opens his eyes and looks at me with a lazy grin. "Good morning malyshka, sleep well?"

"No I didn't" he furrowed his eyebrows. "Why not? I had the best sleep ever." I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. "Yea that's because you hogged the blanket so I was freezing, then you would lay your fat ass on top of me and I couldn't breathe." He gasped in sarcasm.

"My apologies my queen, it's not my fault your so comfortable to lay on, besides I'm not fat it's pure muscle baby." I let out a breathless laugh and kiss his knuckles. I get off him and head to the restroom to brush my teeth.

My toothbrush was even pink how adorable I put it next to his toothbrush holder and walk out. My breath was knocked out of me. He was laying there shirtless, on his stomach and arms spread out. Making his shoulder muscles look more prominent. I go and lay on top of him giving him light kisses on his back.

He sighs in content, and I get off him which makes him groan in protest. I head downstairs to the kitchen to see Nikolai's father making himself a coffee. He's such a kind man. I was a little scared after I heard rumors of how ruthless he can be. I heard he decapitated this man to pieces for touching his wife, now that I met him I think it's true, have you seen the way this man looks at his wife.

"Good morning Mr. Mikhailov. Thank you for letting me stay the night." He looks at me and smiles. "Good morning Delilah, I hope you slept well. I assume Nikolai is still sleeping, if you need to go home I'll assign you a driver to take you back. Our chef will be here any minute to make breakfast you can hangout in the living room." His accent was very thick it reminded me of Nikolai's when he first got here. I smiled and thanked him.

I'm in the living room when I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. Nikolai was holding a sleepy Katerina in his arms.

I would gladly bear his children.
Wait what?

He looks at me and gives me one of his breath taking smiles, he never smiles in public but when he's with me that's all I ever see. My pretty boy.

We all sat at the table to eat breakfast, and after we finished I had to go home. "Goodbye my darling you can stay anytime, call us if anything is wrong okay?" Nikolai's mother hugs me and I say my goodbyes. In the car Nikolai never let go of my hand. And to be honest I didn't want him to let go.

When we get to my house he gets out and walks me to my door. Before I can even knock, the door swings open. I startle and jump back, my back hitting Nikolai's chest. Elijah is standing there with Alessandro, they're in their business suits, suitcases in hand.

"You guys are leaving again?" They look at me with a sad expression. "We're sorry sunshine we had an important meeting that we must be there for. We'll come back by next week." Alessandro pulls me into a hug and then rubs his knuckles on my head. "Oww alesso!" I punch his arm to which he laughs.

Elijah hugs me and kisses my head. He looks behind me to see Nikolai standing there and clears his throat. "Nikolai, thanks for bringing her home, and for letting her stay the night." He looks down at me and raises his eyebrows. "And for letting her borrow your clothes." I roll my eyes and walk inside the house.

After the twins and Nikolai left I enter the house to see some boxes already packed. I should really start packing my room I'll probably have a mental breakdown later on, but oh well.

Mid way organizing my closet, I received a text message and see it was Nikolai.

What could he be planning. I squeal and jump on my bed. Knowing me I'll probably start planning my outfit tomorrow.

AN: short chapter I didn't know what else to write, but next chapter ahh I'm excited for.
