Dominic's POV
Aria has been distant this whole week and I cannot pinpoint what is going on. I have had an uneasy feeling about it but I know not to push her. She only withdraws more when I do. I decided to take her somewhere this evening, somewhere only Dani and I know about. I also wanted to show her something I know would bring a smile to her face. I needed to trust that when she is ready, she will open up to me.
I looked at my watch to see it was now 10 in the evening. I put on a pair of jeans and a casual shirt with a pair of sneakers. I pop my head out into the darkened hallway and listen to the silence. I slowly made my way into Aria's room, closing the door slowly before making my way to the side of her bed. I crouched down to her beautiful face as she slept. I caressed her face then gently shook her.
"Rhi..." I began in a whisper. "Rhi..." I repeated as she began to move. "Baby girl..."
"Mmmm..." She moaned. I watched as her eyes fluttered open. "Nicky?" Her sleepy and angelic voiced sounded out.
"Baby girl, I need you to get up."
"Why?" She uttered in the middle of a yawn.
"I want to show you something. Come, get that sexy ass of yours up." I said to her while gently squeezing her ass with my left hand, causing her to let out a giggle and snap her eyes at me. Now she's awake.
"Seriously?" She gave me a look while I simply smirked back at her. "Where are we going?"
"Get a move on and you shall find out." I now gently tapped her ass. "Dress casual. Come, I'm waiting."
