WILL YOU??
GIULIA'S POV :
Could I really be a Pillar for Roman? I know how big of a world The Clothing line is as I was once a part of it in my past life…
But in order for me to be for him I needed to know him a little more…
I mean it's Federico Vincenzo we're talking about and everyone knows how crazy smart he is, though Roman doesn't know I know who he is, which I intend to keep that way and so we cannot get caught, if not it's bye bye to his dreams and possibly mine and I can't let that happen.
And so he'll have to let me in if we intend to make this work…
"Only if you let me in…"
I looked at him directly this time, this isn't just for him, I dragged myself all the way to Venice because I was tired of living in the shadows.
And for the first time in a long time I feel the need to live, he has a big dream and I need that money to start up a new life far from Italy.
Start a life where it's just me, where I don't need to look over my shoulders, that'll be really great… Maybe, just maybe I'll be happy again…
"I'll have to know who you really are, from what you just said he's not a man that can fooled easily, he has experience and would know what is and what is not…
"I need to know what ticks you off, what makes you laugh, what flowers you like…"
I was trying to get a reaction from him because I've been the only one talking and I did…
Is he blushing at the flowers?
"Flowers? First you used the term 'cute' and now we're talking about 'flowers?' Do I also give off the impression that I love unicorns?"
Okay now I'm in fits, that was a good one, he's been so cute and funny today.
"No, okay I'm sorry, I just wanted to get a reaction from you to see if you're following the conversation with me"
"Of course I am, this is my life here, why won't I? " alright…
"So how do you intend you get to know me better? We've been out together twice, and this time making it the third…Is there anything you observed?"
Yes of course, I observed how hot you are when you're pissed, how daringly hot you are when you're serious too, how you intensely lock me in your gaze when I'm being stubborn or extremely difficult.
I see you through it all but how can I tell you this…
"Well I know you love to keep to time,you commended me once remember?,
You take scotch on your stress days and a good wine when you're less stressed, you cuss when you're pissed too…
Oh I noticed you're sinistromanual as well…"
'Sinistromanual means left-handed'
He looked impressed at this…
"That is alot for the five times we've met in person, that's good… "
I wanted to also hear his observations about me, but I couldn't bring myself to ask him. I guess I'll never know, and now my Ice-cream is finished as well…
"You want another Ice-cream?"
"No, no, it's fine, I'm filled already"
"So regarding the one question I would ask if I let you pay for the clothes…
Why did you kiss me yesterday?, I also found it disrespectful that you didn't let me taste you properly… "
How did I not think that this will come back to bite me? Why did I even kiss him yesterday!! I'm sure I'm a blushing mess right now…
"Amore, ho bisogno che tu usi le tue parole adesso o mi assicurerò di sigillare quelle bellissime labbra con le mie…"
What is he even saying?! I bet he knows what he is doing because my body is reacting to his words dammit! What do I even say right now, Fuck!
Love, I need you to use your words right now or I'll make sure to seal those beautiful lips with mine…
"Uhh well you see em, I didn't think it'll be any of a big deal since you said it yourself that we need to be public about who we are publicly…
I mean you started it yourself by placing your hand on my lower back, I didn't mean to overstep…"
I hate myself right now!! Am I even making any sense?!
Is he laughing?!
"What's so funny?"
"You, relax Giulia, it's just that your act caught me off guard, that was outgoing yesterday…
Though I'll prefer you give me a heads up next time…"
Thank Goodness!!
"Of course…"
That's if I'll actually ever do that again!!
Well I'm hungry, and I should probably head home now…
"I think I'm ready to head home now, and yeah… I forgive you… what you did wasn't nice, you should have atleast checked up on me.
And I did try to get you but you were so busy, or that's what Marcus said…"
He sure wasn't expecting that,but went with the flow regardless.
"Thank you… I'll take you home now, strap on…"
Strap on?!
"The seat belt…" then there's that!, silly me.
"Oh, yeah, thank you…"
Why am I even having vulgar thoughts with him around?
"Giulia?"
"Yes, did you say something?"
"Yeah, I asked what you were thinking of when I said strap on"
"Why would you assume I was thinking about anything?"
"You zoned out…"
Did I?
"I'm hungry Roman, it's normal to zone out"
If that even makes sense!, it's always like this with him!, noticing every little thing I say or do, why did I even stay out this long with him?!
"I remember you saying you don't get to go outside and that you'll love to spend time with me"
Huh? I said that out loud? and no I couldn't have said the last part!
"You must have hit your head real good to think I'll ever say that"
"So you feel that way then…"
Okay I've had it with him!
"You're getting all cocky all of a sudden, I knew that cranberry Ice-cream was a no go!"
I wish I could wipe that smug look off his face, he knows just how to push my buttons!
"And why are you getting all worked up Amore?"
"Can I just get down and walk home instead?"
That seemed to do the trick because the car regained it's serenity.
The house was in view now and I've never been so happy to see the building. I could see Marcus and the other guys patrolling the house as usual.
Roman stopped just in front of the house and I got down from the car, I had expected him to do the same but he remained put on his seat.
"Are you not coming in?"
"Do you want me to?" and the cockiness stayed put as well, two can play this game…
"Was I being that obvious?" he chuckled and said…
"As much as I would love to stay I got a mail and I need to get back to work." I was a little disappointed but I understand that work comes first.
"If it makes it any better I'll make it up to you for this, I promise. And I had a good time too."
That's heart-warming, I'm flattered…
"That's progress Mr Vasslllev, I'm impressed…"
"Progress?"
"You having a good time and admitting it, that is progress"
"Then you'll be even more impressed if you knew the next thing I'm going to say…" Really?
"Then blow my mind Mr Vasslllev…"
"Will you do me the honor of being my plus one?"
