Nicholas's POV
"You got married and didn't even think to tell me about it." Of course, my idiot friends have found out. How? I don't even ask anymore.
Let me introduce you to my friends. First, we have Ian, he's quiet with brown hair. I met him when I was still in elementary school, he was the quiet kid in the corner that would make you uncomfortable without saying a word to you. Now he is my second command and maintains his brooding personality.
The annoying, loud, blonde who woke me up this morning by jumping on me and shouting 'Good Morning Vietnam' is Cole. Cole became our friend in middle school. He was new to the school and had a class with Ian who ignored him. Cole had seen his blatant rejection as an invitation to be a friend. So from then on, we became a trio. As cliche, as it is Cole, became part of my mafia as well he is now my third in command and mainly in charge of it.
That brings us to now where we are in my office with Cole trying to scold me.
"Nicky so you see the problem here?"
"Cole what have I told you about that stupid ass nickname."
"Can't remember." He shrugs and takes a seat at my desk. "Anyways, where was my invite to your wedding?"
"I didn't invite you."
"Why?" He throws his hands up in the air.
"I knew you would make it weird. You would scare my wife and then never shut up." He fakes hurt as Ian stares unamused at the situation. When Cole goes to defend himself a knock on my door interrupts us.
"Come in."
Seraphina comes in through the door shyly.
"Do you need something?"
"I just wanted to let you know I'm going out for a bit."
"Where?"
"Just to do some shopping."
"Okay," she turns to walk away before I stop her. "Seraphina these are my friends Ian and Cole." I point to them as I say their names. After her breakfast, she left before I could introduce them.
"Hi." She waves at them.
I stand up and walk over to her. I try to hand her my credit card for her to use. I figured she had her own money but it's my job as her husband to provide for her.
"Thank you, I'll give it back tonight."
"Don't worry about it. It's yours now." She looked reluctant but with one look nodded and took the card carefully from my hand. "Oh and be back by 5." She nodded and left the room waving again to Cole and Ian.
"Oh, look at you being a softie didn't think you had it in you."
"Shut up."
The rest of the day was all work. With me having to miss days to take care of the wedding and moving Seraphina in I missed a lot of work. Sure Ian was able to do some of it but a lot of shit needs to be done by me.
Safe to say my day was boring. Finally, my work was finished and I could kick Cole out of my house, Ian was willing to leave. I was refreshing the bank statement every two minutes to see Seraphina's spending. I wish some of the transactions would come in quicker I mean come on how else am I supposed to make sure she spends enough?
So far she's only spent a couple thousand. Based on her dad I would have expected her to be spending my money like she had no limit. She practically doesn't have a limit but you know what I mean.
Waiting for her to get home I constantly check on her phone checking her location. I'm not controlling her as she asked.
Getting up I made my way to the kitchen to check on what I wanted to make for dinner. I've never had a cook, there was no need. I mean I'm only here for dinner and I don't have a true breakfast. So hiring someone to be my chef would have been a complete waste of time.
I get ready to make a pasta dish, I know how basic. But it's easy. I start boiling the water and cutting up tomatoes and fresh basil. I pour in the noodles and put the tomatoes in a saute pan and start reducing them into a sauce. I added some fresh basil, minced garlic, and some spices trying to keep it simple. I started to dish up the pasta after garnishing it with cheese when the front door opened.
"Nicholas!" Seraphina called from the front door. Setting down the pan I walked towards her wiping my hands.
"Yes."
"Can you send someone to help me with my bags?" Her sweet voice asked from the door. Her hands filled with bags I'm surprised she managed to get the door open on her own. I nodded and walked past her. I saw her go up the stairs dropping a few bags by the base of the stairs when she realized the danger of so many bags.
I walk out to the car and grab the rest of the bags from the trunk. I head inside and grab the few bags she left behind and head to our room. Making it in I hear her in the closet shuffling around. Setting the bags on the ground with the rest of them I bend down and look through the bags myself.
Why not? It gives me good ideas about what she likes.
"What are you doing?" I look up at her standing at the door of the closet.
"Just seeing what I'm gonna be seeing you in." Right then I find the perfect bag to go through. Her new lingerie. I dangle a sheer, navy blue bra with little flowers on it. She grows bright red and rips it out of my hand and hides it behind her back looking anywhere but at me.
I can't help but chuckle at her reaction.
How cute is my shy, little wife?
