Chapter 29: Chapter:29

**Taylor's POV**

We're all seated now and I am trying to understand why Daniel would be staying in our raggedy building when his parents are billionaires.

*Probably one of those rich kid experiments.*

"Are you okay? You're zoning out." Dimitri says from next to me and I turn to him. "I'm just wonder, why would he stay in a building like ours if his parents are loaded?" I ask.

"I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he just doesn't want to live off of his parents anymore." He says and I nod. "Probably." I say pulling my napkin off my lap and placing it on the table.

"I need to go to the bathroom." I tell him and he nods. I make my way out of the ballroom and into the main house. "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" I ask the butler standing by the door. "I can show you." I hear from behind me and I turn around.

"Hi, I just moved here from Kentucky, can I borrow your charger cause I'm broke." I joke pointing to the large house that I'm standing in and Daniel chuckles. "What the hell bro?" I ask and he shrugs. "I never said I was broke." He quips and I roll my eyes with a small smile.

"We'll you never said you had a kajillion dollars." I says and he smile. "My parents have a kajillion dollars, I don't. Plus, I'm trying to get out from under there wing anyway. Why do you think I live in your apartment building." He says with a smirk and I gasp.

"How dare you diss the sacred ground covered in piss and every other kind of body fluids." I joke being extra dramatic for effect. He laughs and I smile at him.

"Let me show you too the bathroom before you pee all over yourself." He says and I nod. "You're probably right." I say before following him.

"So the guy you're with, he is the guy from yesterday, right?" He asks and I nod. "Yeah, sorry about the way he react by the way." I apologize on behalf of Dimitri.

"It's okay. He's your boyfriend?" He asks and I giggle. "Fiance." I tell him and he looks shocked. "And you accuse me of not sharing. Congrats." He says and I roll my eyes.

We get to a bathroom and I relieve myself before washing my hands and going back out. He's leaning against the wall when I open the door and I blush.

"Did you hear me pee?" I ask and he busts out laughing. "Maybe a little." He says and I scrunch my face up. "Nasty."

"That is a big rock. Well done, Dimitri." Daniel praises as he holds my hand up to the light. "So when's the wedding?" He asks and I am caught of guard. I have not thought of what to tell people when they ask that question. Dimitri and I haven't gotten around to that part of things yet.

"We haven't decided on a date yet. We have to go see his parents before we decide, because they don't know yet." I tell him and he just nods his head,seamingly buying it.

"I heard you and Kelsey going at it last night. Is everything okay with you guys." He asks sounding genuinely concerned.

Suddenly flashes of how Kelsey reacted to the news of me quitting my job rush back to me. She got so mad and even wanted to confront Dimitri for allowing me to quit in order to stay in a relationship with him.

"Yeah, He teels yeah. We're fine. We sorted everything out." I lie knowing that Kelsey is still pissed at me.

"We should probably head back before both my mother and you fiance come looking for us. I don't want to cause anymore trouble for you." He says and I shake y head. "It's only trouble if I did something wrong." I tell him as we get to the big doors of the ballroom.

"I'll see you around the building, for now, I need to go and act like I want to be here." He says making a pistol with his hand and fake shooting himself in the head.

I giggle and he smile. "Happy birthday." I say as he walks in. I wait a few seconds and enjoy the cool breeze coming through the open front door.

*Or you're waiting a few minutes so it doesn't look like you and Danny boy we're together.*

"Hey, you okay?" Dimitri asks and I look at him before nodding. "Yeah, I was just enjoying the cool air for a little bit." I tell him and he walks over to me and pulls me into him. He gives me a soft kiss on my forehead and I smile up at him.

"Do you want to go on a date with me?" He suddenly asks and I pull away a little. "What?" I ask with a small laugh.

"Will you go on a date with me? I want to take you out after we get back from my parents place." He explains and my heart flutters. "Ofcourse I'll go on a date with you." I say and he smiles wide. He leans down and gives me a soft kiss on the lips.

"We should head back in. You've been gone for a while." He tells me before taking my hand in his and leading me into the ballroom. People are giving speeches and we have the most amazing 5 course meal. There were different kinds of desserts to choose from but everybody got a bowl of the most expensive ice-cream in the world, Byakuya.

*How loaded are these people.*

After everybody has eaten, it is time for Daniel to open presents and I become nervous. There are big boxes with different kinds of designer clothes and shoes and small white envelopes with cheques for thousands of dollar.

*Pfft, like he needs it.*

He finally get to my gift and my hands start sweating. What if he doesn't like it? What if he laughs at my gift?

He carefully removes the wrapping paper from the book and I put my thumb in my mouth. "*Across the River and Into the Trees.* Hemingway. I haven't read this one yet." He says with a small smile. I can't help but smile too and he makes eye contact with me. A soft nod is sent my way and I tilt my head.

The party soon ends and I can feel the exhaustion in my bones.

Dimitri has been awfully quiet the whole time since the opening of presents. "What's on your mind?" I ask as we get settled into the car

He shakes his head but something seems to be bothering him. Deciding to let him tell me when he's ready, I don't ask him again.

We finally get back to his place and he gets out and opens my door. He shuts it again after helping me out of the car. "Goodnight Eddie." I say and Eddie tips his hat at me. "Goodnight, Ms. Bennett." He replies and Dimitri and I walk into the building.

He is quiet in the elevator aswell and walks straight to his room once we get to his apartment. "Dimitri?" I call as he walks into the livingroom. He turns around and guves me a deadpan look. "Why won't you talk to me?" I ask and he sighs.

"What do you want me to say, Taylor. I saw how you were looking at Daniel." He says and I roll my eyes. "This again. Be for real, Dimitri. I told you nothing is going to happen." I tell him as I sit down and take my shoes off.

"I saw you. I saw you walking and laughing with him like you are the best of buddies. Then that look. That look made me feel so insecue for the first time in a long time." He says and my anger rises due to the fact that I know that I didn't do anything. "What look, Dimitri? In what way was I looking at Daniel?" I ask.

"Like you want to fuck him." He says in a deadly low tone. I am speechless. "Why would you say that?" I ask softly. "Answer the question, Taylor."

"Do you want to fuck Daniel?"
