An Italian’s Escort Lover

Flashback Continues…

Phoebe Point of View

This is ridiculous!

This is too much, seriously.

How am I going to handle this hot headed man?

I wish I can just hit him and take my frustration out. He is driving me insane with his strange ideas.

“I can’t believe I am having such elaborated argument with you for something like this.” Nicco grumbled, pulling off his shades and threw them on to the tea table.

“I know right! I can’t believe you are so stubborn.” I retorted, taking a long sip of cool water which helped in relaxing my throat after the long arguments.

Why has he turned into such stubborn person? I thought he was calm and a cool minded person! Where have I gone wrong in realizing him?

“Bella, we are going to reed fields to enjoy some romantic time and that’s final.” He declared pulling me to him.

No! Never! Though I like to explore reed fields and enjoy a cool evening, I am not in mood for the outdoor walk today.

“No, we are going to the west side aquarium. I am in a mood to see some fish swimming.” What is so hard to just take me to an aquarium?

I’m lately craving for some swimming creatures.

“It is my turn to decide the place for our date. You already had your turn last time and we enjoyed our date in a poultry farm and enjoyed fresh eggs.” He mocked me and crossed his arms on his chest. This particular posture of his means, he is not budging anytime soon.

Argh! But I wish to see some fish!

“Don’t taunt me; you enjoyed those fresh eggs so much that you had a dozen of them in one go. Furthermore, it was you who fought with me to visit an aquarium at that time.” I pointed out and felt happy to be slowly gaining an upper hand in the argument.

He looked terrifyingly at me but it not scares me at all. I have been with him for too many years and had seen too many sides of him that I don’t feel uncomfortable around him at all.

“I did not disagree to it but we had an agreement, remember? We will take turns to decide the destination of our love dates, didn’t we?” He scowled at me and ran a hand through his well kept hair roughly.

“True, but I am in no mood for a reed field date.” I exasperated giving him one of my stubborn pointed look. I was expecting him to give in but these days, I don’t know why but we keep on fighting on silly things and frankly speaking, I kind of love it.

It feels as if these small quarrels are more effective in bring us closer than some sweet moments.

I feel like I understand the nature of his mood better when he doesn’t be considerate of me or my feelings. I feel much at ease when he let go of his stiffness and take liberty to fight with me and show his displeasure.

I started liking to see the displeasure on his face whenever I defy him. It was the cutest moment when he scowls in disapproval.

“Well, you have to set your mood according to mine today because we are going nowhere but to fields and have dinner in the arms of beautiful sunset in the middle of the fields.” He declared like a king once again and grabbed my handbag in one hand and my hand in another, dragging me to his car.

“Last time when I asked you to leave the idea of poultry date, did you hear me? No. So now it’s my turn and I will take my revenge by taking you to a date where there is a lot of walking. I know you are always lazy to walk around.” He smirked at me but his eyes were as affectionate as always.

Argh! No. I am not in a mood for long walks. I am not a fan of much walking, it makes me lazy and Nicco knows about it very well.

I should’ve not teased him to poultry farm!

“Then be prepared for a dairy farming date next week.” I warned him as a last resort to stop him from taking me the fields but he only smiled mischievously at me, “Dare me.” He whispered driving into the busy lanes of the city. He crossed the busy part of the city pulling the car into the outskirts where there were fewer habitats.

It was so calming to see the endless sight of lush green lands, not to mention getting a whiff of less polluted air. I drew the windows down and felt the cool air hitting my face tickling me with its rainy soil scent.

Ah, wow! I felt alive when the scent of rich sunflower hit me. We were crossing the big laid field of sunflowers and other small white and blue flowers and no doubt the sight and their sweet odor calmed down my stress.

Nicco traced his knuckles softly on my cheek, tucking my disheveled hair back of my ear. “Though I like the beautiful sight and fresh air, I still prefer aquarium.” I said poking him hardly on his chest with my fingers but guess It more aroused him than hurt him.

Dear Lord!

Finally, stopping the car in front of a small cottage surrounded by endless reed fields, a young man who must be in late thirties walked over to us and shook hands with Nicco. He gave me a small smile which I reverted back and he produced a bunch of keys to Nicco.

“Sire, your vehicle may not go inside the thin lanes of fields, there are motorcycles at the backside of the cottage, you can ride them to the place you had me prepared.” The young cottage man said politely.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“We are riding motorcycle?” I asked excitedly because one, I am not walking such long distance and two, I always wanted to ride a motorcycle from a very long time.

When Nicco nodded his head with a lovely smile, my happiness knew no bounds. Yet, there is another of my small wish which Nicco is fulfilling.

Nicco nodded his head to the man and held my wrist, pulling me with him to the shed where motorcycles were kept. He pulled out a vehicle and putted a helmet over his head while placed a small one over my head grasping the belt tightly below my chin.

I excited sat behind him and wrapped my hands around his waist while he drove through the thin roads in between the thin overgrown dry grass.

“Hold me tight, Bella.” He warned me trying to drive as safely as possible.

With the breeze flowing towards us, I remember the day when Nicco revealed his past and told me the reason he had to keep me away from him.

I should’ve been very angry but I understood where he was coming from. We were still building our relationship slowly and learning a new thing about each other every day so I understood his dilemma and if I were in his place, I would do the same too.

He also thought about the pain that future holds for me and was considerate to bless me with less hurt. I appreciate that but if I had to choose between the future misfortune and the loosing Nicco in present, then I would choose to hurt myself in the future than loose a great person.

I would choose Nicco as long as I was the one who ends up hurting and not him.

I smiled at the irony of the situation, The only person I wanted so badly forever, I cannot have him and the people I could have forever are not what I wanted.

Nicco stopped the motorbike where we reached a large clearing surrounded by the flower plants and reeds. It looked so beautiful and tranquilizing that made me smile like a fool. There was a small tent and a small table for two filled with food.

I ran to the tent looked inside to find soft cushions underneath and a large blanket. The food was covered with lids and when I opened them, there was such pure delicacies that I wanted to lick the last remains of it.

I noticed Nicco looking at me adoringly and walked me through the sofa that was in the centre of the grounds which I just noticed. I sat me on the sofa and brought the food table to sofa.

“We can have our dinner here while we watch some good movie. What say? Ready?” He asked pointing towards the large screen setup before the sofa with a DVD player and few CDs.

I nodded excitedly and looked at him with a wide grin “Avengers marathon” I said clapping my hands.

“Never. We are watching Terminator series.” He answered me with a scowl again.

Argh! Not again!

“We are watching Avengers, Nicco. No more arguments.” I decided, pulling a bunch of CDs to place them in the player. Nicco pulled them away from my hands and replaced them with the Terminator series giving me a smile.

“This is my turn again and we are not watching those superheroes again. We already watched them eight times.” He played the part one of Terminator movie and sat beside me with a grin.

I will get back at him when my turn comes…!
