FOREVER

FOREVER
AURORA'S POV
When I came to meet Nicolas yesterday I thought he would yell at me or scold me for not telling him about the blackmailer. But he proved me wrong by letting me cry my pent-up emotions on his shoulders. He heard everything with patience and without any complaint.
I know that he has a lot of questions to ask me and I will answer all of them. But first I want him to get better. That's why I have decided to stay with him and take care of him.
Currently, I'm making breakfast for both of us. I know he has a lot of medicines to take so he needs to eat a healthy breakfast and that's why I am making Frittata which is a traditional Italian breakfast dish.
Suddenly, I hear a clearing of throat making me startle so | turn around to see that Nicholas is standing at the entrance of the kitchen. I don't know why but my face heats up seeing him looking at me intentionally.
It feels like exactly how like the early times when we just started dating.
The shyness, the butterflies, and the tingling feelings are coming back like a flood as if God is giving me another chance to feel the beauty of love. Yes, I have fallen in love with Nicholas Moretti and I am not a bit ashamed to admit it. I have come to the realization a long time ago but after being away from him, the realization hit me pretty hard.
I don't know what he thinks of our future but I know that I want to be with him forever. I want to have him by my side till I die which I don't want to happen soon as I want to feel how it feels to be with the person who knows you more than you know yourself.
The beeping noise of the microwave pulls me out of my thoughts reminding me about the baking tray. I take the baking tray out carefully and let it cool down a little.
I feel a muscular hand wrap around my waist while his tones chest press into my back. It feels like ages since he has touched me and let me tell you nothing feel more safer than to be in his arms.
"I missed you so much, precious." He whispers in my ear.
"I missed you too." I reply turning around to face him.
| look at his face closely feeling like I want to remember every little detail about him. Although he has some scratches on his face because of the accident yet it doesn't deem him any less to be the most handsome man I have ever laid my eyes on.
"What are you looking at?" He asks.
"Can I not admire mv handsome bovfriend?" I ask teasinglv.
"Nope, you can't." He replies making me pout.
"And why's that?" I ask wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Because you don't believe me enough to share your problems with me." He replies looking sad.
"I am really sorry about everything. Please forgive me." I let out while giving him puppy eyes making him huff.
"You damn well know how much I can't resist this look of yours. It's definitely not fair." He grumbles while I giggle in response.
"But seriously forgive me, Nicholas. I will never hide anything from you anymore." I say and place my head on his chest.
"I have forgiven you a long time ago so you don't have to ask for my forgiveness anymore. Now, please feed me the amazing breakfast that you have prepared for me or I am going to starve to death." He says the last part quite dramatically.
I shake my head at his silliness but ask him to take a sit. I cut the Frittata in pieces before making two plates for us. I also serve coffee with it.
Both of us enjoy the breakfast while talking about simple things. None of us mentions about the blackmailer because this time is only for good things. I have missed his presence too much to describe in simple words. Now that I have gotten him back, I will not allow anyone to get between us.
------------
Jacob has dropped Skittles here as Nicholas wanted to meet her. It's not a hidden secret that my cat and my boyfriend both adore each other.
Because the minute Skittles noticed Nicholas she has run straight to his arms without even sparing me a glance.
Even though I know that now Nicholas is looking at the matter with the blackmailer, still | have a feeling that things are not going to be as easy as it's look like. That's why | have decided to keep my bakery closed for some weeks till I am sure that there is no threat anymore.
The damage to my bakery is already repaired but still I don't want to take any risk. I have already sent two months' salary to Parker and Claire so that they don't have to face any financial problems. I have also assured them that their positions will be available once I open the bakery again.
"Precious, have you seen my phone?" Nicholas asks from the living room.
"I think it's in your bedroom. Wait for a minute, I will go and get it for you." I reply and get out of the kitchen where I am preparing an evening snack before making my way toward his bedroom.
Just as I have thought I find his phone on the bed so 1 quickly take it and walk out. However, his phone starts ringing when I am walking down the stairs so look at the caller ID to see that it's his mom calling.
I give him the phone and pick up Skittles in my arms so that he can talk freely with his mom. But to my surprise, he holds my wrist and signals me to sit beside him.
The whole time I sit patiently while he talks to his mother. I can see that he loves his mother a lot by the way he is talking to her so gently. I have never seem Matthew to talk gently with mom. It was always rude from his side as if he doesn't care about his own mother.
There are too many differences that I can point out between Nicholas and Matthew. I never try to compare them but with my past experience, the comparison comes naturally.
Nicholas lets out a sigh after the call with his mother which makes me confused. So, I ask him what happens and he replies that his mom is coming here next week.
"It's a good thing, right?" I let out.
"No, precious it's not a good thing. My mother is a savage woman and she is coming here to punish the person who is responsible for my accident." He replies.
"Do you mean she is angry at me?" I ask fearing the worst.
"At first she was angry at you for breaking up with me but then she got to know about the blackmailer and now she is super angry about that damn blackmailer. I really pity the woman who dared to blackmail you because she doesn't have any idea about how much my mom is protective over me." He answers making me gulp in fear.
"Are you going to introduce me to her?" I ask biting my lips in anticipation.
"Of course I am. I have been waiting for a long to introduce my mom to the woman I want to spend my whole life with." He replies while I gasp in shock can't believe my ears.
"What?" I whisper.
"Don't look so surprised, my precious Aurora. Did you think that I will let you get away from me so easily? Nope, you are bound with me forever." He answers confidently while I throw my arms around his neck trying to hold myself back from crying loudly but in happiness.
"I love you." I let the words flow out of my mouth without any hesitation. I feel his hand tighten around my back before he puts his head in the crook of my neck.
"Why are you always so eager to steal my right? First, you try to protect me and our families by breaking up with me. Now again you confessed about your love without giving me a chance to do it first." He comments making me chuckle before I pull away from the hug to look at him.
"You know you can still confess." I confess teasingly but only I know how much nervous as well as excited to hear him speak out those magical words.
"Hmm.. Let me think if I want to confess." He retorts looking at me with a thinking face while I pout at him.
Why is he so hell bound to tease me about such a crucial matter?
"Fine, you do your thinking and I am going to do my cooking." I say and get up from the couch with a huff.
