We were both so excited as we stepped into the mall. Looking at the infrastructure of the mall, it was magnificent. We literally bought any clothes that caught our eye and some Victoria’s Secret lingerie, which was Vicki’s idea."Hey, we are planning on having a few get-togethers with a couple of our friends from college next week; you should come." Vicky says, picking up a bag as she accesses it before placing it down and picking up another that caught her attention."That would definitely be a hard pass for me. As much as it's nice hanging out with them, I’m not sure if I'm going to be up for it.""It's a week from now, Roy; why don’t you think about it?" She states. "You can bring Giovanni along if you want to. This might be the perfect time to introduce them to him. I’m sure they are all curious to meet him.”"I don’t know, Vicky.” My brows creased together, unsure. "I doubt Giovanni would be up to attend a gathering of college friends he had no inkling of.”"Never say never. You

After driving for at least an hour and a half, we finally stopped in front of the beach. The three of us got off the car, and the sea breeze blew gently.I started to scan the area and was momentarily stunned. The sands were white, and the beach was clean. Upon closer look, i began to see that we were at a small bay. The sunlight reflected against the water, creating a dazzling glare. The seawater was sparkling.It was also a plus that the beach wasn’t at all crowded, which made it easy to wander around.Alexander, who looked at the scene in front of him in awe and excitement, wasn’t able to stop the squeal that left his lips as he ran forward. He stopped just as he reached the water, and the wave rolled to his feet. He takes a step back, with his eyes widened in surprise as he tuned to look at us before racing back to where we stood, grabbing a hold of both Giovanni and mine hands, and the three of us race to the water, with Alexander and I squealing.When we feel the water begin to

I dabbed a fresh layer of gloss on my lips, and my fingers smoothed down my black knee-length gown. It was the following week, and after much consideration, which had to do with Vicky breathing down my neck, I decided to hang out with her and a couple of our friends. Some of which I wasn’t really close with.Either way, I decided to come, knowing there was no way I could escape this. Besides, it didn’t sound so bad to have a bit of fun, hang out with a few familiar faces, and maybe have a couple drinks or two.I gave my last look at my reflection through the side mirror of the car before making my way to the restaurant.I was greeted with an amazing view as soon as I arrived. The walls' distinctive texture creates a seamless yet elegant appearance. It feels nearly like I'm in a well-known Italian building. It seems natural because of the vinyl plants that cling loosely to the walls. The floor under me is coated with marble, giving the restaurant a crisp yet inviting look. There was me

Giovanni’s pov. My attention was on Royalty, even when she had been dragged to the dance floor by Vicky. I watched with unwavering eyes the way her body moved to the beat of the song, drinking in how insanely sexy she was. My eyes are feasting on every move she makes, sending sparks of pleasure down my groin.I watched as Royalty moved back, stumbling into the person behind her. My eyes trailed up from her, and my jaw clenched when it landed on a man I knew all too well.They both converse with each other, and that sleazy bastard seemed to be telling her something. He leans down, whispering something into her ear, and she grins up at him. And I can’t help but wonder what he said to her. What did he say to earn her laughter?I hated the look in his eyes; I hated the longing and want. I hated how his gaze moved up and down her body in a way that irked me, and I hated that she so easily laughed at whatever he was saying without having known him for long.My gaze remained on her smile.

It has been about a month since the party and what happened between Giovanni and me, and things between the both of us have been somewhat steady, if you don’t count his sneaky sexual remarks and our unnecessary childish banter. Then it's all good to go. Apart from that, you could say we have become closer than before with each passing day. Some days we have our breakfast and dinner together, and some days he leaves early for work or arrives home late.Anyway, it has been a month, and Alfred was driving me over to my parents place. It's been a long time since I saw them, and I miss them. I know the company is doing well now because Giovanni told me so.An hour later, we were driving through the gate of the house I grew up in. I had always asked my parents why they spent so much money building such a big house, but as usual, my dad had to live up to his status.I knocked on the door, and one of the housekeepers opened, telling me my dad was at his office and my mom was at the library.
