Entanglements 18
18. Alyssa
"Are you American?" I asked.
I was nervous and I just wanted to make conversation. I didn't want to seem boring since I had already decided to give myself to him.
"No. Italian. I came here for work and I am glad I did because I met you," he said and I knew it was fluttery but it went to my head.
"What do you do?" I asked him.
"I am into computers. We make softwares and help bug companies maintain theirs. If you have a company and want to design a new software like, let's say, a biometrics system to keep tabs on your employees, we are the go to guys," he said and I gasped.
"What's wrong?" He asked me.
"Just surprised. I am also doing Computer Science and my brother is doing Computer Engineering. Who would have known that I would meet someone in the same field?" I said and he smiled.
It was the most beautiful smile I had ever seen. The only other person I had seen with a smile that could make my body twinkle and tremble in places I wouldn't be found talking about was my step brother, Skykar. The other Greek god I knew other than the one that was seated next to me on a small sofa in a booth in this bar.
Skylar was doing two degrees at the same time. He was doing business management and administration and computer science at the same time and I wondered where he even found the time to do all that seeing that he was now doing a thesis for his first degree and then was attending classes for his second.
Anyway, I stopped thinking of the man I had been crushing on since the first day I saw him but kept quiet because I knew I could never have him.
"So, you are a student? Maybe you can intern in my company and start working part time," he said and I looked at him.
"Are you the boss?" He looked too young to be a boss.
"You can say that," he said and I smiled.
I didn't agree or refuse because I knew my dad would kick up a fuss if I went to work for someone else.
He expected me to join him and now that he was married to Sky's mom, they wanted to merge the companies and I knew that Sky's Corp was bigger and we would be under them.
At that moment, the food arrived and we started eating.
I had never dated before and so, I didn't know how to behave or eat when I wanted to impress someone and so, I just dug into the delicious meal and started filling myself up.
When I looked sideways, Pietro was looking at me with an amused smile on his face.
"What?" I asked as I wiped my lips on a napkin.
"I like the way you eat. You aren't as pretentious as the girls I know," he said and I didn't know what he meant.
Was I supposed to pretend?
"You make me want to eat too even though I didn't have much of an appetite when I came here," he said and with that, we started eating again and we cleared the whole table.
It was later when I told Jeni and Kylie what happened that they called me an idiot and said that I was lucky I didn't meet a man who expected a woman to keep up appearances.
"Do you want to grab dessert somewhere else and maybe we can go to my place?" He asked and I hesitated.
Whoever followed a stranger to their place?
After a while, an idea struck me.
"Can I tell my friends?" I asked.
I could still see the two girls where I left them and they were also talking to two guys. Unlike me, they were seasoned.
"Of course, let's go," he rang up the waiter, paid and then held my hand and we walked downstairs and Jeni beamed when she saw the interlocked hands.
"That was fast," Kylie whispered in my ear and I blushed.
"Girls, I will be taking Lysa with me. This is my card just in case. She's afraid that I may kidnap her," he said and laughed as he handed a card to Jeni.
I took it and read and confirmed that the name was the same to the one he had told me.
Pietro Kart
CEO
Kart Cybers, Ltd Company
I didn't even finish reading it.
CEO?
Wow!
"Okay. Make sure you return her in one piece Mr. Kart," Kylie said as she took the card and read his name.
"Pietro. Please call me Pietro. Something tells me that we will be meeting frequently in the future," he said and then smiled at me.
"Don't come back if you don't get laid," Jeni whispered and I turned a deeper shade of red.
"I like your friends," he said and I smiled.
I liked them too.
They looked out for me and they forced me to come into the bar because they said that at twenty one, I was old enough to get laid.
"All the tension in your body will leave once you get laid, girl," Kylie had said and I wanted to see if it was true.
We passed by a dessert shop and Pietro asked me to choose my favorite and I picked a chocolate moose cake, a piece of carrot cake and some vanilla ice cream and he added another piece of the chocolate moose and he suggested that we go and take it at his house and he took me to where he had packed his car and then we left.
Unlike us, he lived on the other side of the town in an apartment in a skyscraper and he had the best view of the city.
"Wow! This is beautiful!" I exclaimed when I entered.
The wall of ceiling windows weren't covered with curtains yet and I could see the whole city below us and it looked as if the stars had shone from the ground.
"I could get used to this," I commented.
"You could. This could be your apartment," he said and I turned to look at him.
"Do you want to eat dessert first or should we do other things first?" He asked and I felt my clit twitch.
"*Ahem*, what other things?" I pretended to be naive and I saw the smile on his face.
"Can I show you?" He asked as he placed the bags he was carrying that contained the desserts on the table.
"Okay. But put the ice cream in the fridge first," I said and he obeyed.
He then started walking towards me with his eyes trained on me and as he removed his jacket and then started unbuttoning his shirt.
Shit!
So, this was going down?
