Chereads / Wrong Timing / Chapter 15 - Donnie Darko

Chapter 15 - Donnie Darko

- These suites usually have a very comfortable sofa, I can keep it. - Enzo said breaking the silence in the elevator.

- Okay. Well, I said we could handle that, didn't I? - I respond to him with my best smile.

As soon as we opened the door I couldn't help but be surprised by the luxury of that room, which was probably bigger than my apartment. Right after entering there was an environment similar to a living room and there really was a huge sofa that seemed to be very comfortable, on the other side there was a mini bar full of drinks. Moving on, there was a door that opened onto the balcony with a wonderful view of beautiful Florence. Just to the left was the bedroom door. The bed was huge and there was a big bathroom too.

I looked back for Enzo and he was at the bar helping himself.

- Nina, do you want to drink something? - He said filling a glass with something that looked like whiskey.

- Actually I really want to take a shower, do you mind if I go first? - I answered.

- Of course not, go ahead, I am going to check some emails first. - he replied.

I went into the bathroom and started to undress, my clothes were soaked and my panties even more, I spent a long time under the shower lathering up and rethinking everything that had happened that day and realized what could still happen. Instinctively, my hand slowly rolled downwards, towards the little place in the middle of my legs that was desperately begging for attention, the touch on the sensitive skin caused a series of chills through my body. I forced myself to go back to reality before I spoiled what there was not yet to spoil. I got out of the shower and realized that I still didn't have my bags. I was so desperate for a shower that I didn't even think about what I was going to wear, I couldn't get naked after all, I wasn't alone anymore. My hope was that there would be robes somewhere in the bathroom, but I only found towels so I wrapped one around my head and one around my body.

As soon as I opened the bathroom door I came across Enzo on the phone, he was barefoot and he was holding his wet shirt in one hand, the muscles of his wonderful abdomen fully showing. He was tall and athletic, his back was broad and his muscles were well defined. "Land calling Nina". I was quite embarrassed when he ended the call and caught me looking at him for too long, I even tried to disguise it but it was in vain, he was already coming towards me.

- I ordered pasta for us, you said you were hungry. - He said, holding his glass with drink, as he approached me.

- Oh, thank you, I really am. - I said after clearing my throat, being betrayed by my own voice as usual.

- They also brought our bags, I left yours by the bed. - he said pointing. "God how tall he is, it was cowardly to be close to him without my heels." - I need a bath too. - he concluded, pointing in my direction, only then realized that I was standing at the bathroom door.

- Sure, sorry. I didn't find any robes, but there are towels in that closet. - I said leaving the way.

- These robes? - Enzo said pointing to the bed.

- Sure. - I replied, making a face.

I put my suitcase on the bed to look for my nightgown and what panties to wear. I decided to go to the other side of the room so I could get dressed without taking the risk that Enzo would open the bathroom door and catch me naked. As soon as I got dressed I heard the doorbell ring and ran to answer it. It was room service with our dinner, I came back to finish getting ready and my usual ritual with my moisturizers and I came across Enzo who was leaving the bathroom, with a towel tied around his waist and another one drying his hair. He said nothing, just examined my entire body with his dark eyes.

- Dinner is here. - I said taking the robe on the bed and my necessaire inside the bag. - can i use the bathroom again?

- Sure, I'm done.

Our eyes met when I passed by him on the way to the bathroom, I was extremely embarrassed that he saw me in a nightgown. I never had to worry about my sleepwear since I lived alone. I had some with Disney prints and others much less behaved but for this trip however, among all the options I could choose, I ended up taking one of the models not so behaved. It was not a specific model for a honeymoon but it was very short and wore very well besides the silk being very comfortable.

I took a deep breath, put on my robe over my nightgown and left the room. I went to the entrance hall of the room and there he was and our dinner.

- That smell is great. I'm starving. - I said as I walked towards the table. He was wearing gray sweatpants and a white shirt with the thin fabric that highlighted the muscles in his shoulder.

- I hope I got it right. - He said pointing to the chair for me to sit.

- I trust your good taste. - I assured.

- I also ordered a wine that matches the pasta, but it's ok if you don't want to drink I can order something else for you. - he concluded.

- I love wine, it will help you relax.

We smiled at each other and soon started to devour dinner, it was pasta with shrimp that was divine. Italians definitely knew it all about their pasta. For dessert, we ate a slice of chocolate pie with salted caramel. Dinner and dessert were really good and the wine was even better. We started talking at dinner about projects and work issues, the conversation flowed for hours and when I realized we were talking about movies that everyone watches, but are ashamed to admit.

- I bet your Netflix recommendations list are full of Adam Sandler movies or are you going to tell me that you only watch cult movies? - I said mocking him.

- I have nothing to be ashamed of the movies I watch, woman. - he replied with a smug tone in his voice.

- Show me then. - I whispered looking right into his eyes then left the table and ran to turn on the bedroom's TV. - come on Vincenzo, login and password please.

- Okay, but only if you show me your list too. - he said accompanying me.

- With pleasure, my lord. - I replied.

- Ready. - he said when he handed me the control after logging into his account.

- Let me see and discover all of your deep secrets, documentaries about architecture, cuisine, this is boring and this is boring too. Ah, The Walking Dead. - I said with a surprised tone.

- Oh come on, are you going to tell me that you don't watch The Walking Dead? - he looked at me pretending to be choked.

- I confess that I stopped watching a little after Negan started to terrorize Alexandria. - I replied with a shrug.

- Ok, now your list, that was the agreement. - he motioned for me to pass the control on to him.

- Calm down, I feel like there's still something here. I KNEW IT! ADAM SANDLER, A LOT OF MOVIES OF ADAM SANDLER. OH MY GOD, YOU WATCH FRIENDS TOO. - I said jumping on the bed.

- I don't know why all the fuss, I remember saying that I was not ashamed of my film list. Now, your list young lady. - he said in an authoritative tone.

- Okay, I'll show you. I'm just going to get another glass of wine and I'll be right back. Do you want some more?. - I jumped out of bed and went towards the table where we left the second bottle we had ordered.

- No, I'm fine. - he answered.

On the way back to the room I took off the robe and threw it on top of an armchair. I was already hot from the wine and the excitement.

- So here's my movie list. - I said, bowing as I handed him the remote.

- My God woman, but what a peculiar taste. Donnie Darko and Mexican soap opera, that's a peculiar mix. - he said, surprised.

- I'm eclectic when it comes to cinema and don't even be impressed by Donnie Darko, I didn't understand anything about it. - I said, taking another sip of wine.

- It's not that complicated. - he replied.

- Do the honors and explain to me then. - I took the control from his hand and pressed play just before settling down right next to him on the bed.

- Let's watch and you pause where you have doubts, okay? - He said coming to the side so I could settle.

- Yes sir. - I said smiling at him.

However, our movie session did not last long.
