When I got out the bathroom I walked straight for my closet and got ready there. I'm dressed and ready to go but when I walk back into my room and what I saw, I felt like I needed to take another long cold shower. This woman is a temptress.
I would love to tear that tight dress off her and fu@k the daylights out of her. I wanted to let her know how amazing she looked in that dress and drunk me would've done just that but I had to hide my true feelings from her. When she looked at me awaiting my approval I acted as if I didn't care, like her presence doesn't affect me.
That was a dick move Lucio…the voice at the back of my head spoke.
Mya is just a few steps behind me as we walk out the house. I open the car door for her and after closing the door I enter the car from the other side. The drive to the hotel is so quiet that I could hear my driver hum to the classical music over the radio. I decided to give most of my attention to my unanswered emails while Mya stared out the window.
MYA'S POV
He nodded at me. Ugh that made my blood boil. My face is flawless, my hair is in body curls, this dress looks amazing on me and my heels is Louis V and he looked at me and nodded. I've been fanaticizing about him all day. I guess I got all dressed up for nothing. I felt like the girl who after confessing her love to the guy she really likes and ended up getting rejected and laughed at.
I'm sitting in the car while gazing at the stars and all I could think about is falling for Lucio. How did that even happen in the first place? This is what you get for thinking a guy like Lucio might actually be interested in a girl like me. He's handsome, successful, date girls who looks like models and I'm more of a charity case to him. What Lucio did for me was kind and admirable and that's all it's ever going to be.
The kiss meant nothing. What we're doing is strictly pretense.
I should be excited to be out of the house so I'm going to enjoy the rest of the night and not think about anything else.
The car stops in front of a massive old and historical looking building. A very young guy opened my side of the door and attempted to usher me out of the car but Lucio got to me before the valet could. I couldn't help but notice the fearful look the valet made when he saw Lucio.
"Apologies Mr. Avaldi" the valet spoke. Lucio nodded his head at him and hurried me inside the building.
The inside of the building looks nothing like the outside. Outside looks old and historical with stone carvings of statues on the building while on the inside is completely modern. We enter a large room and Lucio takes me to an elevator. Before entering the elevator I noticed a lot of people staring our way. It took me a minute to realize that we're in at a hotel. The large room that we're currently in is the lobby. I noticed a lot of people with luggage lined up at the front desk which is north of where we're standing.
There was a plaque at the entrance of the building with the encryptions AVALDI ENTERPRISE engraved on it and I also remembered the valet referring to Lucio as Mr. Avaldi. Then it really hit me. Lucio is a hotel owner. I never asked Lucio what he did but I did assume that it's something illegal like drugs and umm human trafficking.
We get in the elevator and Lucio presses the 'P H S' button. Lucio stands behind me and I could feel his heavy breathing on my shoulders. I dare not look back at him because I don't want to have the awkward eye contact with Lucio. I just want to put this silly school girl crush I have for him behind me.
We get off the elevator and Lucio walks ahead of me, takes a card out of his pocket and uses it to open the door.
"This place is soooo beautiful", I couldn't stop the words from coming out of my mouth. This room is breathtaking. From where we stand I could see the living, dining, and kitchen area surrounded by glass windows. Through the glass windows I notice that there's a pool, a pool on the top floor of the building. This is mind blowing. It's one of those pools where the end of the pool disappears off the edge of the building. Oh my gosh this is amazing.
"This is the Presidential Suite. We'll wait here till Gianna and her friend gets here" Lucio said and then his phone rang.
While he was on his phone I took the opportunity to explore. I'm on the terrace taking in the beauty of Italy.
There was a small knock at the door and when I turned around I saw Lucio opening the door for his sister and a man. I walk over to them and I could already tell that Lucio is angry.
"Hi Mya", Gianna joyfully greeted me with a hug. I hug back then look over to her friend then Lucio.
"This is my boyfriend Antonio".
