NICCOLO'S POV

I reach they're table and she immediately notices me and her eyes widen.

"Niccolo?" Fuck my name sounds sexy coming from her. Focus.

"Who is this?" i ask gruffly looking at the scrawny man, who by the looks of it, recognises who i am. Looks like a pale fucking looser.

"Mr. De'Marco, that is not very nice-" I fucking hate it when she does that. Just take my name woman. "this is Luca, we're out, on a date, at dinner and you're annoying us" she puts emphasis on date as if im her buddy and shes asking me to leave so she can get some. Fuck this shit.

"Luca" i say sharply, making him gulp. I have no idea who the scum is, ill pretend like i do so he runs off scared. "I understand that you know who I am, it'll be in your best interest to stand up and leave on your own two feet while you still can" i say to him. His eyes widen and he scurries off. I smirk.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" i hear a shriek. Oh no.

ARIA'S POV

I am so mad right now. What is with him cock blocking me? not that i would have sex but its nice to have that option.

"Why do you keep doing that, any chance i get to have a nice guy, you blow it, why do you hate me so much?" i exclaim. People may or may not be staring.

"Hate you?" he asks in his damned deep sexy voice.

"Why else cant you let me be happy? I could really use a guy to rid myself of loneliness right now" i say again. Okay im very upset so im spewing shit, i should not have said that.

"You dont need scrawny pussies" i flinch at his curse. I hate that word.

"Ok, macho man, you have someone who isnt afraid of you to date me?" I ask him. We're sitting now.

"Why do you need to date?" he says, as if ive been bothering him.

"Thats really none of your business, Mr. De'Marco, i can do whatever i want" i say a little fiesty. I dont mean to be mean, but he's getting on my nerves.

"You cannot date a man" he says. What?

"What are you talking about why not?" I ask him, exasperated.

"Because" he pauses. "I cant explain it" he sighs. Woah. Is he ok?

Wait.

Oh.

No?

No it cant be.

He looks up at me with conflicted eyes. OH MY GOD.

He likes me? I could be wrong. But i think thats what it is, why else is he doing all this.

"Niccolo" i say and he looks down, defeated? "I-" "Wha-" he suddenly shakes his head.

"No, i uh, shouldnt have said anything" he stands up and leaves. What just happened? The waiter tells me that the bill for mine and Lucas's wine has been payed, the wine i didnt even drink. I get up and leave. What is going on.

I walk a little bit, to the end of the street and go on my phone to call a cab. I dont know what it is with Italy, its so much harder to get a cab after 8. As im standing there, i think about what happened.

I dont know why im like this, but i cant help feeling like im not pretty enough or something, why cant he be sure? I dont wanna catch feelings if he isn't sure. See? now i already cant stop thinking about him.

I just wanna go home and cry.

I hear a car honk at me and i turn to see the batmobile. I roll my eyes. He rolls down his window.

"Ill drop you home" he husks.

"No thankyou" i dont wanna be rude, but he's done enough.

"Aria, please just, get in" he says. That does it for me.

"Why are you acting like any of this is my fault? I never bother you, you make me feel like im not enough, i dont like it, just stop, I-" my voice cracks a little and i quickly face away from him, composing myself. Great, go ahead ball like a damn 2 year old.

In a flash, he's infront of me. And tries to reach out but i step back. Damn this
