To the office with Dante

To the office with Dante
Chapter 23~ Valerie's POV

\============

The following day arrived, and I slightly opened my eyes while being disturbed by the morning light shining into my room.

I turned to the other side of my bed and surprisingly, I met Dante still sound asleep.

I moved closer to him, chuckling to myself I touched his curly hair dangling on his forehead.

Admitting this because it's a must, he looked more handsome than last night, or am I seeing what's not there, what's happening to me?

But not minding the echoes in my head, I moved even closer to him to land him a kiss.

As I got close, suddenly he opened his eyes and swiftly turned my back on the bed while he got on top of me.

I was frightened by this but I composed myself with a heavy saliva glupping down my throat.

Being on top, he kept his stare steady as he looked into my eyes like he was calling out for my soul. Then he uttered breaking the echoes of the loud breath.

"Well, Valerie, I see you were about to kiss me without my permission I see,"

Swallowing my overwhelming thoughts down my throat, I responded to him, "Maybe I was what do you want to do about it," 

"You know exactly what I can do Miss Skye," he said to me with a firm look.

Suddenly, my mother's voice called out my name and I knew this was my only chance to escape.

So I pretended to be cramped, "Oh, my leg cramps," I yelled.

And without wasting time, Dante got tricked by it, as he stood up and sat properly to help with the cramping.

Seeing this opportunity, I hurriedly stood my ground and ran out of bed in a happy state as I stretched out my hand to grab a pajamas I could wear.

He tried to get me into trap me into his arms but I waved him as I ran out of the room with giggles on my lips.

On my way to meet my mother, I completed wearing my pajamas as I didn't want my mother to feel awkward or a hint that her daughter got fucked right under the same roof she was asleep in.

A few minutes later, I got to Mother's room, only to find out she wasn't there, then I decided to check the kitchen or sitting room whether I would find her there and thankfully, I saw her in the kitchen cooking.

"Mom, why are you cooking, I am here after all," I said to her.

Calming replied, she said, while stirring the food bubbling on the gas fire "First of all, Good morning, and second of all, I have hands and I need to use them to do something," 

"I'm sorry Mom, you know I didn't mean it that way, I am just watching out for you and want the best for you," I explained to her.

Listening to my words, she lowered the flames of the fire as she faced me.

"Honey, I want you to listen to me," She started,

"Yes I know, therapies would soon be my best friend, and exercising my worst enemy would also turn my friend but my mental health is my responsibility, I need to work my ass off on that so my zeal, and enthusiasm won't falter, so I need you to take a deep breath and stop panicking every second over me because I am fine, what's the worst that could happen, huh!" She continued.

"But mom.....," I said, wanting to go against her decision.

"No, ifs and buts, darling," She shunned me with a fast blink of her eyes.

"I will be fine and where are you Dante, I heard the hidden noises last night," Mother opened.

I felt embarrassed by her approach so I used an increase in my tonal pitch to shift the conversation she was starting. "Mom, I am late for work," I said, immediately running from her.

"I know you are not late, you are only making an excuse to avoid this talk," She shouted, as I was finding my way back to my room.

Arriving there, I met Dante already dressed and ready to leave, "Oh wow, you are dressed already," I said to him in a surprised tone.

"Yes I'm dressed," he responded in a soft tone as he began his steps close to me.

"Would you please wait for me to get dressed so we can leave together," I pleaded.

Without letting me get to where I stood, I rushed my way into the bathroom as I took my bath in haste.

It definitely should count as my fastest bathing time. So I came out in a jiffy and I didn't see him in the room.

Instantly I saw this, I wore sadness on my face, but at that moment a tiny thought flashed through my brain, of Dante being downstairs with Mom.

So I held on to that thoughts, as I dressed up in a speed and got ready finally for my day at the office.

Then I closed the door of my room and held my handbag in my hand as I took heels to the kitchen when my mother was.

I got there and still no sign of Dante, so I asked my mother about his whereabouts, "Mom, have you by chance seen Dante, I left him in the room before I left for the bathroom,"

"Oh Dante, he said, he would wait for you outside the extended garage," my mother uttered.

"Oh thank you ma," I appreciated as a sudden bliss settled upon me.

So I ran my way outside as I got done kissing my mother on her cheek.

Reaching outside my apartment door, I heard the echoes of my mother's yells, "Please keep safe sweetie,"

But I didn't bother to give a response, because I didn't want to be delayed by her anymore.

And in a second, I reached where Dante instructed I should meet him.

He was already seated in the car with the engine of the car fuming out with smoke.

So I entered his car without a word as I took my seat.

"Shall we?" He questioned.

Then I nodded in a positive response with a little blink of my eyes and so he zoomed off to the office, as I seated comfortably with the seatbelt gently placed on my body.
