"Girl...I'm telling you if you if it was someone else, I would have snatched him up already" Brea says flipping her rich brunette hair to the back as she jams her middle finger and her thumb together to make a certain sound when she says the "snatched" part
"You can have him Brea, we don't have anything going on" I deny as I stuff my mouth with the last slice of waffle on my plate
"I'm not blind and I know what I see boo"
"And what do you see?" I ask her as I slide off the high island stool to take my plate to the sink
"The look in both of your eyes" she says
"What look?"
"Like you're going to rip each other's clothes apart the moment you have the chance to, you both like each other and the sexual tension is hard to miss"
"That's bull shit" I say quickly
Brea is about to say something else but she stops instantly as her mouth hangs opens. That's when I notice Tito walking into the dinning in his usual black dressing.
Tito and Chloe had come earlier this morning and they went straight to Cesare's study at the other side of the hallway.
I woke up with a grumbling stomach early this morning to a cold side of the bed and no Cesare in sight.
His side of his bed still looks neatly tucked. He didn't sleep here
I pondered if Cesare would mind me going to his fridge to get something to eat, I didn't get to eat my tacos last night and the last time I ate was yesterday morning
I ended up going to the kitchen to check what's in the fridge but not before checking on Brea.
She was still asleep and I didn't want to wake her so I went alone to make breakfast, if Cesare gets pissed hopefully I can bribe him with a plate of whatever I make depending on what I see down there.
I was making the waffles when I heard some cars pulling up, I hurried to the window to take a quick peek and I saw Chloe and Tito coming down.
I run back to the kitchen so they don't see me peeking
Brea had sent a text when she woke up and I brought her here to help me make the waffles, we talked about what happened last night and how everything started at that club
I also told her Tito was here, of course she got really excited hearing that. I'm not sure she ever got to see him again after the day he dropped my car but she always talked about him
"Morning Tito" I say to Cesare's lookalike who's also Brea's crush
"Bardot" he simply says swiftly walking to the wine fridge without sparing either of us a glance.
Tito brings out a bottle of wine and starts pouring himself a glass.
I hold down a smirk as I watch Brea's demeanor change, I know what's coming next and I absolutely don't want to be here for that.
One reputation Brea has maintained since high school is getting any guy she wants. She's always had a thing for bad boys and she knows just how to get then to chase after her
Her banging body and captivating face are just an addition to her sweet, confident and versatile personality.
I don't doubt that Tito will fall right in for her charms
"Uhm...we made some breakfast for you three, you can have one, I'll just take Cesare's to him" I say to Tito as I grab one plate of waffles and scrambled eggs from the table.
I send a wink to Brea before excusing myself leaving them alone in there as I go to find Cesare in his study.
"Hey Ch....."I try to talk to Chloe who just bursts out of Cesare's study but she doesn't pay me any mind, she brushes past me walking away
I shrug, to be fair she does seem really upset, I wonder if she had a fight with Cesare
I stand there for a few seconds debating on if I should knock or go back, if Chloe is this mad, whose to say Cesare wouldn't be even more mad?
I don't get the time to make a decision before the door opens revealing Cesare behind it
My hand that was about to knock hangs midway, He looks from my hand that's carrying the plate to my face raising a questioning brow
"I was just....uhm...gonna give this to you" I say sticking the plate in front of me
He opens the door wider shifting to the side as he gives me more space to come in.
I only notice now the cup of wine he has in his hand
Is that also a mafia thing? Drinking wine first thing in the morning.
He closes the door after me and I go further in and drop the plate of food on his arranged desk.
With my eye I do a very quick sweep of the room, it's my first time coming into his study and it sure looks as big and as luxurious as all other parts of the house.
The walls are tall and the room is about three times my room, there's a huge mahogany desk and an equally big chair behind it, there's just an extra chair in front of his own chair unlike the two that are usually in offices.
There's a small book shelve at the back of his chair filled with books and then a mini wine bar that matches the one in the dinning that Tito had gone to.
At the far end of the room there's a long couch and a small center table in front of it.
Cesare takes his seat behind the huge desk and I make to leave the room
"Sit" his voice stops me from moving further. I turn to see him staring at me
I swallow hard as my feet drags me back to the chair in front of his.
Cesare's eye follows me until I take the seat in front of him.
He doesn't say anything, he just starts eating. The only sound in the room is that of the utensils clattering against the plate and probably my ferociously beating heart.
My fingers play with themselves nervously. Now I wish I didn't come here to give him this.
I'm not always this shy and nervous around Cesare, but times like this when he's very sober and with the intensity of what happened yesterday and the other night in my room, it's hard to not be this nervous.
As if reading my mind he asks "Are you nervous?"
My first instinct is to deny that I am and that comes out as a stutter
"You have a thing for lying, don't you?" He asks again casually biting into a new slice of waffles, his tongue licks his lower lip taking the crumbs that were rested on his lip back into his mouth before he resumes chewing.
I gulp as images of where that tongue was few days back flashes in my head.
"Come here" Cesare orders.
Just as if I had been compelled, I find myself standing up from the chair and walking to him
He pulls back his chair and drops the half eaten slice of waffles on the plate. Unexpectedly and in a swift motion he pulls me onto his lap.
A surprised gasp escapes my lips as I land smoothly on his lap. His left hand goes around the small of my back keeping me steady and balanced while his other hand picks up the waffles he had dropped earlier
"Are you nervous?" I feel his chest rumble against my back as he asks and in this moment I knew I couldn't lie
"Yes I am, a little bit" I admit as I bite my lip in embarrassment.
"Don't do that" he breaths
"Do what?" I ask confused
"Bite your lip like that"
"Why not?"
"It makes me want to do so many things to you Piccola" his voice drops down and his Italian accent seeps through the words
God, I've never known how much an accent like this turns me on until I met Cesare.
My teeth involuntarily bite my lips again making Cesare let out a low growl.
His hand wrapped around my waist tightens a little "don't test me Tabitha" he warns in a sultry voice.
I swallow hard as I release my lip from between my teeth.
It's so hard to act unaware and unaffected by his boner that is now growing under my ass but Cesare doesn't act like anything is going on so I do the same, the difference though is that he does it very easily while I'm literally struggling with mine.
He's about to say something else but his phone starts vibrating in his pocket cutting him short, I want to stand up but he expertly moves me to one thigh so he can bring out the phone before balancing me again in both
My curious eye tries to take a peek without getting caught but that's almost impossible because he picks the call immediately and puts it to his ear.
I notice how he stiffens as soon as he starts talking to whoever is on the other line but I don't say anything.
The hand that was wrapped around my waist is a little bit loose now so I take that as my opportunity to escape as I slide off his lap and hurriedly walk out.
I let out a breath of relief when I successfully close the door shut without him calling me back.
