LUCIAN:
"Get out.” She yelled, placing her small hands on my chest and attempting to push me outside the room.
"Why?" I stared at her, amused.
"You're not supposed to be here while I get dressed.”
I stared at her blankly and she sighed before looking at me.
"I want to surprise you. Please?" She pouted, making me chuckle.
Turning to walk away, her little hands hugged me from behind and she sighed. Just when I was about to face her, she pushed me out of the room and locked the door.
I really couldn't help loving her. With each passing day I spent with her, I saw myself falling more and I didn't mind.
She didn't know it yet but I wasn't letting her go for the long run.
Walking to the next room, I got in, took my bath and was prepared.
This was the first time I'd be going on a date.
I don't do dates.
Fuck it.
I wasn't even friendly with females but she got me hooked since the first time I saw her.
I wore a black suit and a white dress shirt with black dress shoes.
Shit is formal but anything for her.
Once done, I got out and walked towards our room door and tested the handle but it was still locked.
Girls waste a whole lot of time dressing up. Most times it's really not needed.
Switching my phone on, I leaned on the opposite wall and began replying to texts and emails.
The opening of the door caught my attention and I looked up to see her.
She was more than beautiful. If that's possible. It felt like I was seeing her for the first time as my eyes travelled over her.
"Gorgeous.” My lips were also in awe as they uttered the words of their own volition.
She smiled shyly at my remark as the color rose in her cheeks.
Her red chiffon dress was knee length and it was sleeveless, showing off the smooth tone of her arms.
Her blonde hair was pin straight with a middle part, flowing down her back. Her make-up was mild and she looked perfect.
"You're perfect.” I complimented as I held her hand and pulled her to me. I kissed her hand before my lips found hers.
When I pulled back, she chuckled lightly before cleaning her lip gloss from my lips.
"Ready?" I asked and she nodded, biting her lower lips.
I almost forgot what was in my pants pocket due to her looks.
Dipping my hands in, I brought out a single white rose and she looked at me surprised.
I held it to her, smiling as she took it from me.
"How did you know I love white roses?" She asked as she inhaled the scent of the flower.
"Angels know everything.” I winked and she grinned.
Damn right.
I was nothing close to an Angel but for her, I was willing to try to be one. Just for her.
Holding her hand in mine, we walked to my car. We got in and I sped off.
After driving for a while, I came to a stop at an Italian restaurant.
Alighting from the car, I led her in. She looked around in admiration as I led her to a table, pulling her chair for her before taking my seat opposite her.
"It's nice. I like it.” She commented, earning a smile from me.
A waitress dressed in a black and white uniform approached us, ready to take our orders.
Kris checked the menu but she frowned and I smirked. It was written in Italian.
Picking up the menu, I ordered for us and she stared at me in awe.
"Are you fluent in Italian?" She asked once the waitress left.
"Kind off.” I smirked.
"That's so cool. You'll teach me someday.”
"Hopefully.”
Just then, I saw the owner of the restaurant walking towards us. He's a friend of my father.
"Oh… Lucian, Che piacere vederti!" (How nice it is to see you!). He greeted in Italian.
"Mr. Alessandro, è passato molto tempo" (It's been a long time). I replied back.
"Come Stai?" (How are you). Mr. Alessandro asked.
"Tutto bene, e tu?" (I'm all good, and you?)
"Non male" (I'm not bad). "ho sentito della morte di tuo Padre" (I heard about the death of your father). "Accetta le mie più sincere condoglianze" (Accept my sincere condolences). He added.
"Grazie" (thank you).
"Chi è questa bellazza?" (Who is this beauty?). He referred to Kris.
"La mia ragazza" (my girlfriend).
"Ah...hai degli occhi buoni come tuo Padre" (Ah...you have good eyes like your father). "Forgive me Bella(the beautiful one), I'm Alessandro.” He extended his hand to Kris and she took it, smiling shyly.
"I'm Kris.”
"Mmmm...it's a pleasure to meet you.”
Just then, the waitress brought in our food.
"Sorry for disturbing your dinner, Bella.” He smiled at her.
"It's okay Mr. Alessandro.” She returned his smile.
Releasing her hand, he faced me.
"Finché nonci incontreremo Nuovoovo Lucian '' (Till we meet again Lucian). I gave a small nod and he left.
"You'll teach that damn Language.” Kris said and I laughed.
"He's my father's friend.” I knew she was curious to know who Alessandro was.
"You know me so well.”
"More than you can imagine.” I added and she grinned at me, shaking her head.
If only she knew the extent of that statement.
Our dinner continued in peace after that.
We had a pleasant night with smiles on our faces as we drove back to the beach house.
Getting to the house, she hopped out of the car just as I was about to get her door for her.
"This is the point where you kiss me goodnight after I tell you I had a pleasant night. Then you get in your car and go.” She grinned and I stared at her, amused.
"But, since we're staying together, how about you walk me to the room door and give me the goodnight kiss then sleep in another room. We're not supposed to spend the night together after our first date with you.”
"Not Happening. You're getting the good night kiss but I'm sleeping with you.”
Her eyes shone mischievously.
"Really?" She asked.
"No.”
"Ughhh…I hate you.” She pouted.
Pulling her by the waist, she landed on my chest. I crashed my lips to hers. She opened up and my tongue darted into her mouth to taste every corner. She released a moan when it met hers.
I was seconds away from hauling her upstairs to the room and ravaging her but somehow, I got a grip of my control before it slipped away.
Breaking from the kiss, I held her hand and led her into the house.
We got upstairs and discarded our clothes before getting into bed. I gave her one of my t-shirts to wear. Though I prefer her to be topless, I wouldn't want to fight with keeping the last shred of control in me.
"Thanks for today.” She murmured as she laid next to me.
I pulled her on my chest.
"I don't take thanks.”
She stared at me before moving her lips to mine and I accepted the invitation.
