Unexpected Love

•Chapter Twenty-Four•

Nick shifted in his sleep, he was starting to wake up. He turned towards Miya, his eyes fluttered open. His green eyes landed on her angel like face. Her black hair was in her face, he reached up pushing it behind her ear. Even though it was dark, he could see her brown skin glowing. Her lips were a little pink and plumped. Nick leaned over kissing her cheek softly. He got up out the bed then headed towards downstairs for a glass of water. They were staying at Reece's house because Miya had convinced him to stay.

The floor creaked underneath his feet, he didn't want to wake anyone that's why he moved silently. Once he reached the kitchen he went over to a cabinet taking out a glass. He walked over to the fridge using the filter water on it. When it filled up he took a sip, he walked over to the counter placing it down. He suddenly heard a noise which caused him to look up, it was Reece.

"Can't sleep I see" Reece said. He went over to the fridge taking out some leftover chicken. He popped the container, then reached over in the clean side of the sink to get a plate. He placed some chicken down then went over popping it in the microwave.

"Uh, no I couldn't" Nick replied. He picked his drink up again taking a bigger gulp this time. There was something bothering him but he didn't know how to bring it up to Reece. He knew it was now or never, he needed to do this. "Can I ask you something?" he questioned.

Reece pulled his chicken out the microwave, he placed it on the counter. He could tell by Nick's facial expression, it was serious. "Sure, go right a head" he said.

"You know I love Miya, I mean she sees something in me that I don't" Nick smiled at the thought of her. "I don't ever want to be without her" he said. "I'm asking for your blessing to marry her. I know I'm suppose to ask her parents but they're not here and I know Miya an you are very close" Nick added.

Reece couldn't believe what he was hearing. Miya being married was weird to him. He didn't think she was the marrying type, well at least before Nick. "If you love her, I say go a head" Reece picked up his bowl. "But if you hurt her again, I will murder you and make it look like an accident" he headed out the kitchen door.

"I would never hurt her!" Nick called out. A smile came to his face, these emotions he didn't think he had came flooding in. He felt excited, happy, nervous all at once. He had never thought in a million years he'd be asking a girl to marry him. Nick was known for having sex with women and leaving them but Miya was a whole different woman.

Nick made soon made his way back upstairs, he slide underneath the blankets with Miya. He moved closer snuggling up to her, he closed his eyes and soon difted off to sleep.

The next morning Miya woke up before Nick, probably because her got up in the middle of the night. She was still adjusting to being awake when she heard Nick's phone go off. She leaned over to see who it was. Phoenix like always. "Babe it's Phoenix, he's calling you" Miya shook him.

Nick muttered something before turning over. It caused Miya to giggle at him. "Wakey my love" she leaned over kissing his cheek.

"Don't do that Miya, you know what that doed to me" Nick opened up on of his eye. He turned around looking Miya, he smiled at her. He was just about to say something when his phone went off. "Ugh, it's my day off" he groaned. He reached over grabbing his phone. "This better be good Phoenix" Nick said.

A verg frantic Phoenix began to speak too fast. Nick had to tell him to slow down which did. "I don't know how some of the Germans are alive" he said. "They found one of our warehouses, killed all of our men. Including Mark" he added.

Nick tried to remain calm, he didn't want to make a scene in front of Miya. "I'll be there" he hung up. He was going to torture and kill whoever set them up, there was going to be no mercy for anyone. He placed his phone down then got out of bed. "I'm sorry love" Nick said. He slipped on hid black jeand, then grey t-shirt. "There's some business I need to take care of so I promise I'll make it up tonight" he added.

Miya felt sad a little bit but knee he had priorities. "It's okay and you'll definitely be making it up to me" she said.

Nick went over giving Miya a kiss, he then grabbed his eyes and jacket since the Chicago weather could get pretty bad. He slipped it on then headed out the bedroom, down the stairs and out the front door.
