Chapter 23

Ava p.o.v

I woke up with a dull ache wrap around my waist, I double over in pain when I try sitting up. The pain only last a few seconds disappearing back to its dull ache, I groan when I realized it's was my time of the month.

I hate it when it's just show up unexpectedly, my menstruation cycle is always irregular. it doesn't have a particular day to it, it infuriates me too much, the only good thing is that I don't have cramps but there's always this dull ache that lingered around my lower back. It's only hurts when I'm stressed or sitted for too long, and it's makes me feel weak, I dare not stand more than a minute.

I crawl to the edge of the bed, I stood up groggily. I held my head in my hand feeling a bit dizzy, after my head clear and my blurry vision adjusted to the bright light in the room. I made a move in the direction of the bathroom, I needs to wash this stinky blood off me and look around for a pad. I don't know why I think there would be a pad in a male bathroom, not just any male but Vincenzo Issac Alfonso, I'm crazy I know but I'm desperate.

A sharp knock on the door made me pause.

"Yes?" I ask.

The door cracked open and a girl my age or maybe a year older, pokes her head in before slipping inside the room. I frown when she casted her gaze down clearly avoiding eye contact.

"Hi what can I do for you." I asked curiously, she was just standing there staring at the floor like a lost puppy.

"Don said I should bring you these clothes." That's when I noticed the clothes in her arms.

"Thank you." I took the clothes from her, she was about bolting out of the room when my question stopped her. "Can you do me a favor?" she nod mutely. I sighed almost furstrated, why wouldn't they act normal, I'm not gonna eat them or anything.

"Please can you help me get a pad." This is kinda embarrassing, I get shy when someone get to know I'm menstruating.

"Yes ma'am, do you have any specific?"

"Yeah, Dry love but you can get anyone if it gonna cause you stress." She nods and left.

Just when I was done bathing, the bathroom door fling open. I yelp and took a towel from the hanger, I quickly wrap it around me. I turn around ready to give the intruder a piece of my mind, but all my words died in my mouth as I  saw it was Vince. A frown slipped on my face, I know it's his room and all but doesn't he know to respect someone's privacy?

I know for a fact that he's aware that I'm bathing, and still barged in.

"You could have knock, you know." I sighed softly.

"Why would I do that." he ask adamantly, Is he been serious right? Is he seriously asking why he have to knock? He's totally out of his mind.

"I was taking my bath, you could have walked in on me nake," I exclaimed, why is Vince playing dumb. I was butt naked, and he  just opened the door like that.

"Don't I have the right to see my woman taking her bath?" He scowl, His eyes rake my body making my body heat increase, I tried pulling the towel down to cover little to no amount of my exposed thighs. His gaze locked in my exposed cleavage that is now showing since I've pulled the towel down to cover my legs, my hand crossed my chest covering it from his intense stare.

I was blushing and hard, I don't know why. My stomach erupted with butterflies, I felt a pool of desire floods my entire body. I squint at the little polythene bag he is holding, seeing my stare he stretch it out to me.

"This what you requested for." I took it from him waiting for him to leave, but he just keeps standing staring me down. I swear down, I'm locking the bathroom door next time.

"Don't even think of locking the door next time." I gape at him, it was as if he just read my mind.

"Okay, can you leave now." He frown and narrowed his eyes at me, but said nothing. I let out a shaking breath when he left, I did my business and dress in the clothes the girl brought for me.

"Finally, I thought we'd starved to death waiting for you." Dario said dramatically already piling his plate with loads of foods, I smiled shyly and greets everyone.

I sat on the empty space beside Vince, I saw Alex sitting opposite me, an annoying smirk playing on his lips. I frown when he wink at me but shrug it off waving slightly at him, he must have gotten comfortable here.

Alex mouthed 'He is so whipped'. I stare at him confused, who is he referring to, I hope it isn't Vince because he would be deceiving himself. I rolled my eyes at him when he grinned at me.

Marco and Grace sat next to Alex too engaged in their conversation to notice anything else, so I just let them be. My mom on the other hand went back to her gossip with Mrs Alfonso after answering my greeting, Kara was grumbling seriously under her breath about who knows what.

Dante seems pissed as he keeps glaring from his phone to Kara, I didn't put much thought into it, they must been having siblings fight. And Dario, is a total different story, he shoving foods in his mouth without a care in the world. There one person who is missing, Mr Alfonso, he isn't at the table, I shrug and proceed to dish some food for myself.

All this while I can feel the weight of Vince stare on me, but I ignored him too embarrass to look at him. I fill my plate with the little food I hope I finish, I felt a hand on my thigh crawling slowly to my inner thigh, I followed the hand and it's Vince. He squeeze a little on my lap, then he rub circular motion on it sending wave shivers through my spine.

I choke on the food on my mouth as his hand suddenly cupped my womanhood, I cough a few times drawing everyone's attention to me.

"Are you alright dear." Mrs Alfonso said, Kara rub my back soothing.

"I'm fine."  My voice crack as I spoke, I took a sip from my glass of water. I look to see Vince eating his food as if he isn't the cause of my choking, l scowl and pout at the same time. He doesn't get to act calm when he almost choke me to death, I stab at my food grumpily.

A quick quiet chuckle was cracked, I still, not just me everyone freezed. I couldn't believe what I just heard, did Vince just chuckle? it got to be him since he the only one sitting on my left. I look at him hoping to see a smile on his face, but his usual nonchalant expression has returned as if he didn't just chuckle.

Everyone was still in shock, They continue staring at him like they saw a ghost. Why are they shock, I mean I was shock because this is the first time I've heard him release something close to a laugh, Maybe he's always serious and do not laugh.

"Come with me." He pull me up in one swift moment, leading us out of the kitchen. I didn't have time to question where he's taking me before he pushed me against the wall next to the kitchen door.

I frown at him in question, he just snaked his hands around my waist pulling me flush against him. His body heat penetrate me, causing my own body to heat up. I rest my hands on his rock muscle chest, my hands wander around chest feeling the hard muscle under the black suit. His breath tickles my face making a blush to appear on my cheeks.

"What are you doing to me." He grumble in a raspy voice, I felt my legs go weak, that voice brought a rush of wetness to pool down from my sister down there, I push my legs together to hold them in from rolling down.

He's asking me what I am doing to him, when the real question is what is he doing to me.

He smash his soft delicious lips on mine melting any thoughts away from my mind, the kiss is rough and demanding like a starved man seeing food after a long time which made it all the more thrilling. I throw my hands around his neck deepen the kiss, he made a throaty sound in approval.

I find myself loving his rough, desperate, dominating and demanding kisses, it always lefts me wanting more like I'm literally addicted to the softness of his lips and how demanding they are, making me feel wanted in a sexual way.

His tongue pokes demanding entrance which I granted willingly, fire works explored in my stomach. He grabbed my legs lifting me up, I wrap my legs around his waist, my p*ssy met his already hard d*ick. I moan into the kiss completely losing myself in the kiss, my fingers roam his amazingly soft slick Lock.

He broke the kiss only because we needed air in our lungs,  his lips continue their way to my neck leaving hot open mouth kisses on my shoulder. I throw my head back in pleasure.

"Non ne ho mai abbastanza di te" He mumbled, (I can't get enough of you).

I don't know what he said but the way he spoke it send pleasurable shivers through my body, His lips made their way to my chest, he buried his face in between my boobs. He release a groan before removing his face from my boobs.

"You're going shopping for your wedding dress today, Yes?" Oh shoot, I totally forget about that. I nod my head.

"Good." He drop me on my feet which I forget were still around his waist, He placed a black card in my hand.

"Use it for whatever you want to buy and if anything, I mean anything happens call me" He hand me an iPhone, I really don't know what type all I know is, it's an iPhone. I gingerly took it, one because he broke my phone so he have to replace it and secondly who wouldn't take it.

For Christ sake it's an iPhone.

"Ok." I replied still staring at the phone, I can't believe I now have an iPhone. It is a dreàm come true for me, I always wanted to have one but I know it's impossible for me to buy it. It will take a lifetime for me to gàther the money, since I get it for free I'm not expected to refuse it now am I?

"Call me immediately if anything happens and if anyone is rude to you, I mean it." He said seriously.

"Ava we were waiting for you, since you are done eating let's go. We are going to be late" Mom chirped as they all came out from the kitchen.

I shook my head, how are we going to be late for shopping, is there an actual time for shopping?

I made to catch up with them as they were already walking to door, but Vince held me back. His gaze were intense and hard like he's having a inner battle.

"Remember what I told you."  I nod with a smile, why do I feel like he's genuinely concerned for me, I brush it off concentrating on Vince. "I have work to do I would have come with you, but I will see you later Yes?" His husky voice whispered in my ear.

"Yes"

"Good, be careful." He Peck my lip before disappearing through a door to God knows where, I find myself smiling at him.

I got to admit, I kinda like him. Maybe everything will for into place soon, I just hope I would survive any trial thrown my way.
