APHRODISIA Chapter Ninety Six
Marcello’s POV I haven’t seen Zara for two days since our ‘official first date’, and it isn’t deliberate. I had to leave Ohio that night on an emergency after I dropped her off at home. That day, I thought of asking her if she would consider coming back to New York with me ,but it didn’t feel like the right time.It so happens that a busybody reporter had found out about Julio and why he was in prison, and decided to leak the news to the public without consulting us first. So, when Michael called me to inform me about it, I immediately made arrangements to go home. I went home to paparazzi milling around my house and it wasn’t a pleasant experience.Those news hungry fuckers would do anything for news, even if it meant making up some cock and bull story. For the past two days, I have worked tirelessly to ensure that every bit of private information out there is taken care of. And I haven’t gone home once , except for two nights ago, when I went home to pick up some work essentials
APHRODISIA Chapter Ninety Five
Zara’s POV We left the garden after that; Marcello feeling proud of himself and me, still reeling from the aftershock . When we both get into the car, the tension in the air is stifling. I can’t stare at his face. I’m afraid that I will smother him in the heat of the fire that he lit in me. He doesn’t start the car, just sits quietly with his eyes tightly shut. I turn my head slightly to observe him from his position. His hands are on his strong thighs, folded tightly into fists. I contemplate pushing back his car seat and straddling him but my stomach will get in the way. Then, my eyes move of their own accord upwards, past the fists and thighs to his crotch.What I see has me gasping for air. I can’t take my eyes off it, no matter how much I tell myself to. It’s like a siren, calling out to me, luring me to the depths, promising pleasure and destruction.When I finally gain enough willpower to move past the captivating sight, I look up to see his eyes already on me. I hold back a
APHRODISIA Chapter Ninety Four
Zara’s POV The garden is as beautiful as I remember. Stepping into the place fills me with nostalgia. This was my escape when I was growing up. Mom never let me work part-time jobs in high school. She insisted that it would distract me from studying. So, I came here when I needed a break from books. I would take pictures and enjoy the scenery.Marcello has my hand in his as we walk down the rows of tree shrubs. There’s a thousand species of plants here — a true wonder of nature. “ I can see why you like this place. It’s beautiful.”“ I won’t say I told you so, but thank you for recognizing good taste.”“No need to gloat, Sugar. Just say thank you.”“ And where’s the fun in that?”We share a brief laughter. As we walk further, the familiar greenery wraps around me, clinging to my skin like a memory I didn’t know I craved. There are other people here; parents and their children and couples on dates. Every few steps, I even see solo explorers. “ Do you want to know a fun fact?”, I ask
APHRODISIA Chapter Ninety Three
Zara’s POV “So, what do you have planned today?” I ask when he successfully veers the car out of our driveway and onto the main street. “ Nothing…but, I was hoping you’d show me around time. What’s fun to do around here? There’s a lot to do in our town actually, but I didn’t know where to begin. If we were to explore, we’d spend the whole day at it. “ Hmmm, there’s a lot to do actually” “ Alright, let’s narrow it down to your best place then. Where’s your favourite place?” “ That would be the museum and botanical garden.” He side eyes me, while trying to keep an eye on the road. “ Didn’t take you to be the nature-loving type”. I raise one brow. “ What do you see me as , if I don’t strike you as nature-loving?” He raises his free hand, not the one steering us smoothly down the road. How have I never noticed how relaxed he is when driving? Maybe because most times, there was someone driving is and when he did drive, we were engrossed in one issue or the other. He’s leaned
APHRODISIA Chapter Ninety Two
Marcello’s POV For the first time in my life, I was learning what it meant to really learn to love someone . Not by grand gestures or charm or convenience, but by learning to take baby steps.I wasn’t expecting her to reach out first but when she did, I was over the moon. I was content with seeing her through the window that morning. Although, she just stood there piercing my soul with her eyes, I was thankful for the chance to see her at all.Picking her up for dinner was very nerve-racking. It almost made me laugh how willing I was to the woman’s bidding. Before her, I would have spat in the face of any woman who dared to make me work for her attention. I never had to try too hard. Women were always available; ready at my disposal.But, not Zara. She was always ready to put me in my place, and she didn’t even have to, because I was always the one seeking her attention. Love does humble you in unexpected ways. Regardless of it all, I’m elated that I get to meet her, that I get the
APHRODISIA Chapter Ninety One
Zara’s POV He came back the next day looking worse for wear. This time, he came back alone , no car, just him walking back and forth the street with hands in his pockets. He walked with his shoulders hunched with something heavy. Regret? Love?Looking at him made my heart ache. I cradled my stomach as I stared at him staring off into the distance, like a man who had lost purpose. I didn’t want him to look like a shadow of himself. I wanted him to always be his confident self. Seeing him like this pushed something inside of me to run outside and pull him into a hug.That day, I opened my window wider and our eyes met through the tiny space. So close, yet so out of reach. The thing about heartbreak is that it teaches you to build walls that others cannot penetrate. But, it seems Marcello had found the cracks in my own walls, and was slowing sneaking in like a little ray of sunshine that penetrates a dark room.I still loved him but I wasn’t sure I was ready to forgive him. I wasn’t ev
