Crazy devilish couples
Aria's POV
"I don't like Marcus!" My voice was loud. Maybe it was because of the guilt, or my uncertainty about my words, but I needed Luca to believe me.
So I yelled, forcing my unsure words into the truth.
"Wow..." A familiar voice exclaimed. It sounded as though it was coming from behind me.
My back straightened.
Viola.
But I had left her back in the house with...
My eyes grew larger, forgetting the fact that Luca may not have fully believed me, I turned around.
There he was... Marcus. He stood beside the witch who had her hands crossed, a smirk dancing on her lips.
Unlike before, his head wasn't lowered. He was staring straight... Straight at me.
My lips parted in shock.
Did he hear?
Fuck... What was the use of thinking about it? Of course, he heard. The man wasn't deaf.
"Marcus I..."
"Boss," he didn't let me explain. Marcus turned away from me to look at Luca who stood beside me. He lowered his head again. "Ms Viola wanted to ask how long my contract working with her would last."
"Ms Viola?" Viola snickered, clearly pissed at the honorific added to her name.
She probably wanted to be known as Mrs Morretti, or the lady of the house, just because she was Luca's fiancée.
Which was enough reason for her to be bad, but I was just too damn angry to care.
Just a few seconds ago, she was smiling as though she had found an edge over me or something, but Marcus brought her down from her high house.
She glared at Marcus, staring at him from top to bottom. "It's Madam or Mrs Morretti to you." She corrected.
I almost rolled my eyes, but I was too agitated to dare.
All my thoughts surrounded Marcus.
Did he hear what I told Luca? Did he believe it?
I knew he interrupted me for his own sake, because... What would I have said?
That it wasn't what he thought? Or what he heard?
Would I have said that in front of Luca?
That devilish bastard might actually kill him if I dared to do something that stupid.
"And yes," Viola continued. "I wanted to ask how long the contract ought to last, but... I've changed my mind." She said, her stupid smirk returning to her face.
I turned to Marcus, my eyes pleaded for him to understand.
Why was I so intent on clearing up any misunderstanding? What was wrong with me? Was Luca right? Did I like Marcus?
Luca stepped closer and came to stand behind.
I flinched at his proximity.
Fuck... I hadn't cleared up what Marcus heard, and now Luca wanted to create an optical illusion?
I gulped, forcing my tensed leg muscles to move sideways, just a bit so I could create a little space between myself and Luca.
After doing that, I could feel Luca's glare on me, but I turned away, pretending not to notice while praying silently in my head.
Oh, God.
Why was I creating trouble for myself? I was yet to get out of a dilemma, and then I went around liking someone who my first dilemma could easily conquer.
What was wrong with me?
I could bet Viola noticed everything, because the smirk on her face grew wider.
"Why?" Luca spoke, finally taking his eyes off me. As usual, his voice was cold... But this time, it had a really scary edge to it. Thankfully, he wasn't talking to me.
"What made you change your mind?" He asked Viola.
I also turned to her, hoping to get the answer to that question.
A few minutes ago, when we were back at the house, she seemed annoyed with the arrangement.
I was too pissed and shocked to really take in her expression at the moment, but it was far... Very far from joy.
So... Why was she suddenly so joyful?
What have I done?
"Hm..." He hummed, turning away from us, me and Luca, to look at Marcus, who just pretended as though he was a statue.
"Well... For starters, he's cute." She began. Her hand slowly went up and landed on Marcus' face.
My heart beat rose even higher at her every movement.
'She was going to slap him!' I had thought.
But there wasn't force, it just went smoothly.
Finally, her hand landed... But there was no sound. Why? It wasn't a slap.
She was caressing his damn face?!
I didn't think I could get any angrier!
What the fuck?!
"His face is almost perfect," Viola said in a seductive tone.
My stomach churned.
"...and then, there is abs." Her hands moved lower, down to his neck and his chest.
It lingered there, testing my extent.
My nose flared. I forced my eyes away from her to look at Marcus.
I caught his gaze, and held it... Silently commanding him to do something.
What was he? An actual statue?! How could he just stand still as though a pretty woman wasn't touching him the way Viola was?!
And say nothing... No movement whatsoever, what was wrong with him?
"His body is amazing, and so is mine." Viola closed, and she threw Marcus a wink at the end of her statement.
I clenched my hands into a tight fist. One so tight that my knuckles turned white. If I were holding something, there was no doubt that it would have broken into pieces by now.
Viola then turned away from him to look at Noah and nodded. "He would make a wonderful bodyguard."
Luca nodded not seeming at all disgusted or even annoyed with the scene in front of him. "Alright. He would be your bodyguard as long as you like."
Which type of couple are these two devils?!
The first one... The male, Luca, confessed to me just yesterday that he liked me. And now, he was using every single opportunity he got to remind me of that fact.
Almost as though it's my fault and I should be crying that he did.
That was if it was true even.
And the second one... The female, Viola, was touching another man, like another freaking man in front of her supposed fiancé, and saying all these things... In front of Luca!
But he only just nodded?!
So... So they were in an open relationship, yet the two wanted to get married?
Lord... Give me strength.
I prayed clenching my jaw.
My breathing came out in ragged breaths. Almost as though I ran a marathon.
But no, I did something even more terrible than that.
I stayed the fuck quiet.
Viola turned to look at me, flashing her pearly whites.
I forced myself to give her back a smile... But it was nothing close
to being beautiful.
"I'll be going now." She skipped happily turning to Noah again. She blew him a kiss and then turned to Marcus. "Come on my strong man."
