I turn back around and continue walking, im not in the mood for him right now.

"Aria, wait" he says. I stop and turn around, angry.

"Stop saying my name like we're old pals, i dont like it, and stop interrupting, im going home" i snap and turn back around but this time, he grips my arm gently and turns me around. I glare at his big ass frame.

"I didn't mean to say it like that, i got angry" he says. I take a deep breath and exhale.

"Why are you explaining to me?" i ask him.

"Because youre upset" he says.

"Im upset ok, why do you care?" i say. He looks confused.

"Because youre upset at me"

"Why would i be upset at you? I dont know you, you don't know me, we've literally never talked and-" as im looking into his eyes i get flashbacks from last night.

"What?" he says.

"Uh flashbacks" i mumble. My eyes widen. "I called you daddy vibe" i shriek and he chuckles.

"You did sì" he husks. I blush.

"I-" i pause. "Im still going home, im sorry for bothering you yesterday" i say making him sigh.

"You didn't bother me neonata im sorry for saying that" Woah. Did he just apologise? My my.

"Its uh, its ok" i say to him.

"Aria!" i hear and i look behind him to see bryce. Ugh. "I was wondering where you went, i was wondering if i can have your number maybe?" he asks. I watch as Niccolo's jaw clenches and he turns.

"Bryce, when do you go back to Florida, do we need to call immigration?" he asks and i stiffle a giggle. Savagee. I watch as Bryce turns and leaves.

"Why did you do that" i ask him. He turns and raises an eyebrow.

"You want to go out with him?" he asks me.

"Im not telling you" i say. "Maybe i do" i say just to see what happens. His jaw clenches again and he nods.

"Sure, i have his number, go and-" i cut him off.

"Dont say something offensive please" i didn't mean for it to sound sad, but it did. His eyes soften.

"I was no-" he starts and i raise an eyebrow. "Alright, i apologise" he says i nod.

"Its fine, i do have to leave though, bye" i say but he stops me.

"What? you'll walk out of the estate? itll take you atleast a half hour and then more walking" he says.

"I know thats why im asking you to let me leave" i say.

"Ill drop you home" he says.

"No, i wouldn't want to force you" i say.

"I apologised, you wont make it home in that dress, its not safe." he says. he is right.

"Fine, ill ask matt to give me a ride" i say.

"No" he says sharply. "I can drive you, we wont be needing matt" he says, a little angry.

"Why are you so angry" i mumble. He sighs.

"Come" he leads me to his car. Oh god i called this car batmobile. ehehhehe. im funny. I smile. "sit inside the batmobile" he says and i giggle. funny.

He starts driving and i look over at him. I wanna ask him stuff about last night.

"Can i ask some questions about last night?" i ask and he nods. "did i do something embarrassing?" .

"No, i wouldnt say you did." he says. "Gave me a delicious cookie though" he says. Oh.

"You like my cookies?" i ask he nods. "Thats so sweet" i say.

"Can i ask some questions?" he asks and i look over curiously and nod. "you remember the bastard from yesterday?" he asks cautiously. I nod. "He mentioned something about knowing you already, or seeing you?" he asks. Oh, now i remember what he said.

"Uhm, he uh" i pause, i should tell the whole story. "On friday i was working late so i left the bakery after 11, he was following me and said some lewd things but i just ran home and locked my doors. Mr. Gonzalez, my neighbour, helped me" i tell him. His grip on the wheel tightens and he nods.

"Dont walk alone at night" he says. I shrug.

"Its really ok, ive been living here four months, its only happened once, i think its fine" i say but he looks over.

"Do not, walk alone at night" he says again.

"Okay bossy" i say.

After sometime, he looks like he wants to say something but he's hesitating.

Wait did he kiss my forehead last night?

No.

No its just my head playing games.

Soon, we reach my apartment and i thank him, he offers to walk me up but i politely say no, he's done enough.

Edited.
