NORMANI POV
He didn't say anything for some time as he looked at me and I tried the same trick I did when I begged him to let me tour Paris, even though things did go sideways.
"Fine..," he said.
"Thank you" I leaned in to peck his cheek. My excitement was over the next leveI. Sin stood up from his seat and I followed him. he opened a door leading to a parking lot filled with a lot of expensive cars like IBugatti La Voiture Noire, Rolls-Royce Sweptail, Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita(2006), Lamborghini Veneno Roadster, McLaren P1 LM, Lykan Hypersport Bugatti, Veron Mansory Vivere, Pagani Huayra BC. My eyes caught sight of a very beautiful lcon Sheene bike, I walked towards it in awe.
Can we ride this, I have never ridden a
bike before."
"Fine" Sin walked towards where the keys were being kept and took out a key before walking to where I stood. He put the key in then twisted it to start the engine.
I hear the motorcycle start, he turns to put on a helmet on me making sure it is
tight before he gets on, pulling me behind him.
"What about your helmet."
"I don't need one" he answered arrogantly. I rolled my eyes at this, then got down from the bike to where the helmets were kept. I picked a black helmet matching mine and walked back to Sin, putting it on and making sure he wore it. I climbed back on the bike, wrapping my hands around Sin's waist and held on tight to them.
"Ready" he asked me and I nodded in response.
He pulled out of the driveway, he was going fast. A little too fast but it was fun.
The cold air ran through my body as he
rode down the road, skillfully turning the corners and I kept my hands secured tightly to his waist.
I smile subconsciously while staring at the cars and buildings around us as we speed down the streets with the air breezing through us. What feelslike hours, we finally got back home. Sin takes his helmet and mine off putting them back in their cabinet. We walked out of the parking lot back to the main house.
"That was so much fun" I grinned from ear to ear.
"Yeah it was" Sin replied
"But now I'm hungry"
"Why don't we prepare something, come on?" He said, taking my hands in his. We walked together to the kitchen.
"What are you making?" I asked curiously.
"Umm. How about Spaghetti meatball"
"That sounds nice, though, I'm kind of
surprised you know how to cook" I laughed.
"Of course I do, But I don't cook that much."
"You don't look like the cooking kind of
guy, no offense" I said. Sin rolled his eyes before opening the kitchen door, taking out of Pack of pasta and some meat
"Who taught you"
"I learnt from my mum, when I was little we always cooked together" a small smile grazed his face for a second.
I watched as he turned on the stove, I used my strength to lift myself up into the counter.
"Aren't you going to help me?" he asked
puzzled.
"Nope, I'm just going to sit here and watch."
He shakes his head before putting some water into a pot and placing it on top of the stove.
"What were you like as a teen" Sin asked as he stirred the pasta.
"I was kind of like a nerd. I love reading
books" I giggled. "I was really not a social person so I only had two best friends but had a fall out with one and the other one was Stephanie."
"That's your roommate?."
"Yeah" I whispered out quietly. My thoughts run wild, thinking of how Stephanie and the rest of my family were. Sin turned to look at me, taking In my expression.I quickly let out a smile to show him I was okay. We didn't talk as Sin continued to make us dinner. I sat there watching his every move and admiring the view.
"Is dinner almost ready?" I asked, jumping off the counter to help dish the food. We both settled on the dining table sitting side by side with each other. I rolled
pasta around my fork and put it in my mouth. My eyes widened.
"This is really good" I complimented gesturing to the pasta. I took another bite, still amazed. "I didn't expect it to be this good."
"Oh really?" He said, raising an eyebrow.
"Yep" I replied teasingly, totally not prepared for his next word.
"You shouldn't be surprised" he said cockily. "After all, you know very well that am good at a lot of things that leave you
breathless."
The fork fell down my hand, I looked up
at him and saw a sinister smile plastered on his face. I gulped not knowing how to reply so I opted to stay silent but that didn't stop my face from turning red. This man would be the death of me...

I was woken up by a ticklish feeling that
felt more like small kisses being trailed
on my cheek, lips and neck. I moved, trying to get away from the person while I snuggled closer to the sheets. l expected the feeling to stop but it just continued and this time it was even mo re intense than before. I opened my eyes slowly due to the sun shining through, I turned to find the culprit to my discomfort and was met with a shirtless Sin Iaying next to me with a grin on his handsome face.
"Happy birthday Amore." He whispered
pecking my lips.
I smiled at him lifting my hands up to hold both sides of his cheek. I brought him closer then kissed his lips and turned to the other side to continue my beautiful sleep.
I was turned back around and I groggily
opened my eyes again, looking at Sin waiting for him to explain why he was disrupting my sleep.
"Are you just going to go back to sleep?" he asked, baffled.
"Yeah.. stated in a matter of fact tone.
"Then I guess you don't want this" He teased. My eyes followed the movement
of his hand to find him holding a black iPhone 12. I sat up instantly, talking the phone away from his hold. I smiled watching the phone.
"Since it's your birthday, I know you would Love to talk to them. Their numbers are already programmed in there. You have Zoey, Samantha Luca andl in there as well. You don't need to contact anyone else"
"Thank you" I whispered, pulling him In
for a quick kiss.
"I'm taking you out on a date tonight, so
do get ready at 7."
"Where are we going."
"That's for me to know and for you to find out" he stood up from the bed and walked out the room, closing the door behind him. I finally have a phone, I let out
a squeal not being able to contain how
happy I was.
I unlocked the phone and strolled through the contacts until I came to Stephanie's name. I pressed the call log and waited patiently for her to answer.
"Hello,'' Stephanie answered weakly.
"Steph" Her name slipped out of my mouth as I waited for her response.
"Mani. Mani is that you" she replied surprised. I nodded at first then released. She couldn't see me.
"Yes, it's me Steph" I heard her let out a breath and the line went silent.
"Steph"
"Where the hell have you been, You got
us all worried sick" she voiced out with
anger, "You promised to call and didn't for close to two months. I thought something bad happened to you" she finished, crying hysterically.
"I'm sorry, I lost my phone and haven't been able to contact you till now" I cried
along with her.
"But still Mani, I had to report a missing case to the police."
"I'm sorry Steph, for making you all worried. It won't happen again."
"It better not, I won't be so forgiving next time" she said sternly.
"I won't, have got a phone now" l answered playfully.
"Hope you alright" Stephanie asked, still
worried, trying to know if I wasn't in any danger.
"Yeah, I'm fine"
"Good. I need to call my parents and aunt Sera to let them know you are fine."
"I will send them a text to let them know too.
"And before I forget boo, Happy birthday.Love you"
" Thanks babe, love you too" I said as I hung up the call. I couldn't stop the smile
on my face, I was really happy to know that they were all doing okay. I sent out a text to Stephanie's parents and my aunt Sera and got back an instant reply. All asking how I was and how worried they were with it ending with a happy birthday wish which was more than enough for me.

I wore a black gown that grabbed my body, aligning every feature of my body, matched the dress with high plumb silver heels and some silver earrings. I tidied my hair, putting it up in a ponytail with two strains at each side of my face. I did a little touch of makeup so it didn't take long to get ready.
I walked out of the dressing room back
into the bedroom to find Sin seated on
the couch looking dazzling while he types away on his phone.
"Are you ready" he asked casually with
his head bent down still typing on his phone.
"Yeah, I think," I said, walking towards the bed to where I had placed my phone. I turned around to look at him, his face had an unreadable expression.
"Do I look bad? was he disappointed?.
"What's wrong?" I suddenly asked, feeling self conscious. Maybe I didn't pick the right dress or was it my hair. He didn't speak for some time and kept staring at me intensely, finally he turned his phone off and stood up, sauntering towards me.
He backed me against the wall, my back pressed against the cold tile. He towered over me predatorily, I put my hands on his chest as he lowered his face till his forehead touched mine. I couldn't control my breathing, I was positive that he could hear my heart beating rapidly out of my chest.
"You always manage to take my breath
away". His warm breath blew across my
face.
"oh. Phew.. " I tried acting nonchalantly "I can't do anything about it, I was born to dazzle peo..." His lips cut me off and his tongue swirling the inside of my mouth.
We made out like two starving humans
before Sin pulled back.
"You look perfect Mani" he kissed my cheek sweetly.
"Thank you."
"Have got something for you" Sin took
out a small box from his pocket and gave it to me. I took it wondering what it was as I opened it. Inside was a beautiful
pendant with a thin gold chain and a small diamond in the middle.
"It's so beautiful" I said softly.
"They wil look more beautiful on you" he replied
He took the chain from the set and put the chain round my neck, a soft click joining them. He looked at my neck in satisfaction and leaned down to kiss my cheek.
"We should probably get going so we can get back on time to finish what we started."
"Yeah we should" I said, trying hard to contain my excitement.
When we got outside there was already a car waiting. Mateo, my assigned body guard, got out the front seat and came to open the back door for us.
"You look great today Mani. Happy birthday" Mateo said cheekily.
"Thanks Mat I said.I got into the back seat along with Sin. Mateo rushed right back to the front seat and got in.
"You know where to go Mat Sin said smoothly. The car started and we drove out of the mansion. It took an hour and a half to get to our destination.
