Chapter - 27

Elio and Nicolas were inside the study. A few days earlier, Nicolas had told Elio he could use the study for office work, but the real reason was that he wanted to see Elio 24/7. He was planning ways to express his feelings for Elio. Currently, Elio sat in a chair next to Nicolas, reading some files while wearing Nicolas's glasses. Having seen Nicolas wear glasses while working, Elio had expressed a desire to try them on too. Nicolas happily lent him a pair from his collection, and it turned out to be the best decision because Elio looked fucking cute in them. As Elio put his leg up on the table, he suddenly remembered it was Nicolas's table and quickly set it back down.

"Sorry."

Elio said, feeling embarrassed. Nicolas chuckled, shaking his head, and pulled Elio's leg onto his lap.

"Comfortable?"

He asked Elio smirking. Elio nodded with a blush. Nicolas's phone rang showing it was Luca calling him.

"It's Luca."

He says to Elio before answering it.

"Speak. You send it? Okay, thanks."

He looked at Elio and sighed.

"He send the file about Salvatore."

Nicolas said and opened his laptop. He clicked on the mail with an attachment which Luca send. Just like Nicolas thought Salvatore was indeed related to The Costa Norda. He was the Donna's nephew. But his current behaviour towards Elio wasn't clear. He knows Elio is beautiful and he would make heads turn every time he walked by, but he can't quite find why he was behind Elio.

"Wait."

Elio says and comes closer to Nicolas to take a better look at the file.

"It says he graduated from Camden College. I graduated from there too."

Elio says and starts to think about his time at the college to see if he could remember Salvatore.

"Oh my fucking God! Now i remember him!"

Elio said looking at Nicolas.

Flashback

Elio and his  group of friends were passing through the college hallway. His friend Dave was trying to convince him to come to their  coming trip.

"Oh come on! You never come to any of our trips. So you should come for this one."

Dave said pouting. Elio chuckled at his friend's antic. It's not like he doesn't want to come, in fact he would really love to go. But he knows his dad would shoot  down the idea before he could even finish the sentence.

"I'll think about it and text you my decision later."

Elio says smiling to his friend.

"Yay!"

Dave screams which led to students look at them. Suddenly Dave bumps into a student making the student to spill the drink in his hand all over his clothes.

"Oh shit! I'm sorry!"

Dave says and tries to wipe the drink with his hand. The  guy looked angry and looked at Dave.

"Sorry? You saying sorry won't bring back my drink or my clothes! Do you know how much this costs?"

Dave cowered back in fear seeing the guy's rage filled face. Elio stepped forward and pulled Dave behind him. It was funny because Dave was big compared to Elio.

"Hey he said sorry then what's the big fuss?"

The guy's eyes widened seeing Elio.

"If it's about the clothes i can send you the cash right now."

Elio said folding his hands. The guy didn't say anything just looked at Elio.

"Hey you there?"

Elio asked waving his hands in front of the guy.

"It's okay."

The guy said sighing. The guy's response shocked both Dave and Elio. The guy pushed past them but suddenly stopped and turned back.

"What's your name?"

The guy asked Elio.

"Elio."

He replied confused.

"Elio."

The guy smirked and walked away.

Present

"So that guy was Salvatore?"

Nicolas asked Elio.

"I'm sure it's him."

So they knew each other before. Then a thought crossed Nicolas's mind. What if? What if Salvatore was the stalker? What if he was the one who sent the photos, killed Dominico's gang?

"I think he might be the stalker we are searching."

Nicolas says seriously.

"Oh my god he might be!"

Elio says shocked. He stands up and started pacing around the room.

"Try to hack or check into Dominico's phone. See if he had contacted Salvatore."

Elio says to Nicolas.

"Why not hack Salvatore's phone?"

Nicolas asked, and Elio rolled his eyes. He walked toward Nicolas's chair and leaned down, placing his hands on either side of the chair's armrests.

"How are you a Don but so dumb?"

Elio said, staring right at Nicolas. Nicolas stared back with a smug look.

"Salvatore is mafia blood. Of course, he would know if someone hacked into his phone."

Nicolas grabbed Elio's hand and pulled him, making him fall into his lap.

"There's so much I need to learn."

Nicolas said to a wide-eyed Elio. Elio quickly recovered from his shock and put his arms around Nicolas's neck.

"Good thing I'm a great teacher," Elio said with a small blush. They

stared at each other until Carla knocked on the door to tell them that dinner was ready. Elio scrambled away from Nicolas's lap and rushed out of the room. Nicolas rubbed his temple and looked at his boner.

"God, I hope I didn't scare him away."

Nicolas mumbled.Dinner was quiet, which was unusual because Elio would usually be talking non-stop. Simon looked at Elio and raised his brows in question, asking why he was silent. Elio looked away, confirming Simon's theory that something had happened between the two. He smirked and looked at Tyler, who was already staring at him. Tyler gestured toward Nicolas, and Simon chuckled mentally, seeing his boss give Elio heart eyes. Everyone could see the change in their relationship, especially in Nicolas's behavior toward Elio. He just hoped that Nicolas wouldn't hurt Elio; that kid was too kind and good to be hurt like that.
