Lyra's POV
"Arthur" i said as i saw his face and it was like my heart had become lighter
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" He immediately pulled me to him, scanning me
"Im okay, they didn't catch me" i said and he sighed
He placed his hand around my jaw and i realized it was a little shaky
The thought of him worrying about me made me smile even in this situation
"Lets go inside- its cold" he said and walked me inside, not before nodding at his men once
They all got into position as we stepped inside the house and the door closed behind me
"I didn't have much time to think- so just take any room you like" he said and i nodded
"Are you hungry?" He asked me suddenly and i was about to say something when my grumbling stomach answered for itself, leaving me with embarrassment
"I'll bring you food" Arthur said and i looked at him to realize he was talking to my stomach
God, please kill me already
He laughed on his way to the kitchen and i sat down against the counter on one of the chair
I watched him cook, and he looked professional doing so
"Didn't know a mafia boss was a professional chef" i said giggling and Arthur smiled
"Then you don't know a lot of things about me" he said smiling
"Like what" i asked and he kept his quiet
He continued cooking, smoothly chopping all the vegetables and cooking the food like a pro
"What are you making anyways?" I asked him and he looked at me
"Something i like- so lets hope you like it too" he said as he added the final touches to his meal
He soon cooked the meat and transferred everything on the plates
"Here" he said putting a place of gourmet food in front of me
Just the smell of the food had me drooling and i tried to resist my temptation
"Eat it and tell me" he said passing me a fork and i immediately dug in
As the first bite melted against my tongue, i found myself detaching from reality
"Its so amazing" i mumbled as i closed my eyes to feel the rich taste of all the spices combining together to make a heavenly meal
"Im glad" he said sitting beside me
We continued to eat in silence, most our thoughts being about each other
I set my plate in the dishwasher as he ate the last bit of his
"So" he said as he got up and we realized we have nothing else to do
"So what" i shrugged, completely blank
"Is there anything you want to do? Im free" he said and i laughed
"What an honor to be spending time with you" i jokingly mocked him
"You're lucky that i like you- or else" he patted my head jokingly
"Or else what?" I narrowed my eyes at him and he leveled himself to my height
"Well" he said, the seriousness in his tone visible
"You know how mafia works" he said softly, but it was enough to send chills down my spine
"You're a special case though, you help the good side come out" he said smiling
"Well, I'm glad i get to see a side of you no one else does" i said as we walked to the lounge room
We sat on the sofas, extremely bored and somewhat awkward
"Its still pretty early" he said and i nodded, pouting my face a little
"You want to watch a movie?" He asked and my eyes lit up
"Sure" i said and he got up
He dimmed the lights in the surroundings, grabbed a few blankets and then walked back over
"Which one" he tossed me the remote and i scrolled through the endless options
"Please nothing romantic" he said and i smiled
"Consider yourself lucky, i hate romantic movies too" i said as i settled on a mystery/horror movie
"This one?" I said
"Sure" he said and i played it
We sat on the sofa together, and watched as the movie started
Every now and then, Arthur would jump a little from the sound effects or the sudden appearance of a horrific face
"Didn't know you got scared of horror movies" i said giggling
"Im not scared, its just a little out of the blue" he said
"Rightt" i said as he shifted a little closer
By now, almost half of the movie had passed and Arthur was practically glued to me
I wasn't complaining, in fact i liked being in his arms
Soon, the movie was coming to an end and my eyes were getting heavy at the same time
I tried my best to stay awake, but my eyes refused to do so
And so i closed my eyes a little and soon drifted off to a deep sleep in Arthur's arms
