What I was met with made my jaw drop as I looked at the various pieces of art. Their were drawings of animals, plants and beautiful landmarks that were so detailed it would put any professional artist to shame.
“Ivan this is a gift, you’re like the next Van Gogh!! Just please don’t go bat shit crazy and cut your ear off” I tell him while still looking through the pages. The room is filled with his contagious laughter and my insides churn at the sound of his mirth.
“Oh mia cara, cutting my ear off would mean I wouldn’t be able to hear your giggles as clearly” he flirts after sobering up. I blush before closing the book and hitting it across his chest.
We’re interrupted by the sound of the door bell and I follow Ivan out of his office. While Ivan went to go answer the door, I went into the kitchen and browsed his fridge for something to drink. I grab two cans of soda and walk into the living room before plopping down on the couch. Ivan comes back carrying two bags full of food and I look at him weirdly.
“Did you plan on feeding a small army with all of the food you got” I joke as he sets the bags down on the table.
“No but I do plan on eating all of this by myself if you don’t quit the sass” he jokes playfully glaring at me. I giggle before grabbing one of the bags to take out a to go carton. Ivan sits next to me and grabs one for himself, opening it up and beginning to eat. I stuff my mouth with chicken and fried rice while using my other hand to pick up the remote.
“What do you want to watch” I ask looking over to Ivan for a response. He finishes chewing his food and takes a sip of coke before responding.
“I’m good with anything so long as it’s not a romance movie” he tells me and I smile deviously.
“The Notebook it is” I say smirking to which he grumbles in protest. I shake my head in amusement and settle on watching 21 Jump Street instead feeling as if I’ve cried enough for today. The movie begins and I’m immediately sucked in once Channing Tatum comes on the screen.
“Channing Tatum is so hot” I gush star struck to which Ivan snorts. I pause the movie to glare at him for interrupting my fangirling.
“I’m way hotter mia cara, and besides isn’t he like 30” he asks with a smirk making my glare intensify.
“Considering you’re on the verge of thirty yourself, I don’t understand your point” I tell him annoyed to which he glares at me.
“I’m only twenty six mia cara, way to subtly tell a guy he’s old” he replies, his voice dripping in sarcasm. I giggle before playing the movie and continue eating my Chinese food.
Throughout the movie, I couldn’t help my laughter and at times Ivan would join in too. Half way through the movie, Ivan rested his head on my lap as he sprawled himself across the couch. The end credits roll across the screen and I wipe the tears of laughter of my cheek. I glance down at Ivan who was looking up at me, and lean down to capture his lips in mine.
The kiss started off slow and sweet but turned urgent as Ivan got up and pulled me into his lap. I pushed him down so that I was on top of him and straddled his lap. We continued to kiss aggressively as I felt Ivan tug my bottom lip between his teeth. I moan loudly before breaking the kiss to catch my breath. I begin to kiss and suck on his neck teasingly enjoying hearing the groans he was emitting.
“Mia cara” Ivan groaned breathlessly. I hummed in response still leaving a trail of kisses on his neck and jaw. “We have to stop” he adds and I finally sit up to look at him. His eyes glowed with hunger and passion as he gazed at me intensely. I nod in agreement before getting off him and grabbing the empty to go containers to throw in the garbage. He follows behind me as I throw everything in and I glance at the clock on the oven that read 10:00pm. I yawn feeling tired all of a sudden and open my arms out to Ivan letting him know I wanted him to carry me. He smiles and shakes his head before scooping me up in his arms while carrying me up the stairs and to his room.
He sets me down gently on the bed before taking his shirt off and getting underneath the covers with me. He pulls me into his bare chest and I snuggle into the warmth he brought me before beginning to doze off.
“Good night corazon” I whisper sleepily to him to which he leans down and kisses my forehead.
“Good night mia cara” he replies before we both fall asleep, completely tangled in each other’s embrace.
The next morning, I woke up feeling fully rested and refreshed. I turned my head to where Ivan was sleeping to see his side empty. Getting up anyways, I walk into the bathroom and do my business before brushing my teeth. Once I finished, I quickly washed my face and used Ivan’s comb to untangle my hair leaving it down.
Stepping out of his room, I maneuver my way through the maze of hallways to the kitchen. I hear Ivan’s voice and smile slightly until I also hear a feminine voice. Reluctantly, I walked into the kitchen to see Ivan sitting in one of the stools facing away from me and a women sitting across from him. Confused, I cleared my voice effectively snapping them out of their conversation. Ivan quickly got up and made his way over to give me a sweet kiss before wrapping his arm around me.
“Mama, meet Amelia Winters, my assistant and girlfriend. Amelia meet my wonderful mother, Giada Stone” Ivan explains to her while looking at me lovingly. I blush and lean into his body before giving the woman a smile.
“It’s very nice to finally meet you Mrs. Stone” I tell the woman with a grin. She was beautiful with honey brown hair and mesmerizing hazel eyes. She had the same high cheek bones as Ivan but that was about it for similarities.
“Please, call me Giada. It’s nice to finally meet someone that’s dear to my son” she replies with a thick Italian accent.
“Don’t we have to go to work Ivan” I ask slightly alarmed when I see the time but Ivan’s chuckle makes me relax.
“Actually, I was thinking you could go take the day off and go to a spa or shopping with my mom” he tells me thoughtfully and my heart swoons at his words.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Are you sure? I can help sort stuff out with you at the office and we could go some other time” I tell him not wanting to abandon him with all of the work.
“Nonsense mia cara, you go and have a relaxing day with my mom, I can handle it” he tells me and I immediately jump into his arms before attacking his face with a bunch of kisses.
“Thank you, thank you thank you” I exclaim in between each kiss before kissing him lovingly on the lips. I hear Giada laughing in the background and slide down Ivan’s body blushing furiously. I look down embarrassed, using my hair to cover my face as Ivan and Giada laugh at me.
“Mia cara, how about you go get dressed and then you guys can head out” Ivan tells me grinning and I nod before running up the stairs. I giddily skip into his closet and grab some clothes from the bag I always leave in here for whenever I stay.
