Chapter 55

• Aria only blushed cutely before smiling at Nicole in understanding as she slid down my arms and headed back towards the bed. Nicole tried apologizing again but Aria waved her off while telling her not to worry about it. I stepped out the room and closed the door quietly behind me. A blush stained Nicole and she wouldn’t glance at my face until after about a minute- oh well, at least that alone would remind her to knock on my door next time before coming in since Aria was going to be a part of my life somehow.
• “So Daven wants to go see Nicolas but Tristan wouldn’t let him because Nicolas said he isn’t ready to see anyone yet.” She explained while pushing her hair out of her face, I didn’t miss the tang of hurt under the statement.
• “Tristan said to come hear from your first, but Daven is drowsy now because of the drugs still in his body, he said he just wants to ensure Nicolas was alright before taking a nap so I decided to come help him ask if it was alright.”
