Chapter 11 - TAKE ME HOME

GIULIA'S POV:

 

I went back to wrapping my arms around Roman he is really big and cozy and I am really tired… Maybe I shouldn't have taken those shots in the first place, I mean he came back to find me so it counts… 

 

Did he get lost though? 

 

"Roman where were you?, Did you go have fun without me?" he looked down on from above my head since I was against him… 

 

"What are you talking about Amore?"

 

"You said you were coming to get drinks and when I got here I didn't see you… You're also not holding drinks right now…"

 

"Amore I'm sorry you missed me while coming down here, I had taken the elevator so I could make it to you on time… Your drink is at The Lounge…"

 

I don't think I had it in me to take another sip of anything at all, I just want to go home… 

 

"Can we go home? I'm exhausted…"  I said, still leaning on him… 

 

"Of course, I'm ready when you are…"

 

That was all I needed to get my head off his chest and link our arms together… 

 

"I'm ready!" my sudden burst of energy caused him to chuckle, I mean the deep rumbling sound from his chest. 

 

The sound was so beautiful right now that I wanted to say it to him but ended up saying…. 

 

"Let's go already…"

 

"You are beautiful Giulia…" he took a strand of my hair behind my ears…

 

Did he really mean it? I'm really hoping it's not the drink, though there is a hint sincerity in his eyes… 

 

Those eyes that held the moon and sea in them, they sparkled with something unknown… 

 

"Thank You Roman…" I said with tinged cheeks, how can he be so honest… 

 

It feels so right, yet wrong for some reasons…Am I allowed to feel things the way I do now? 

 

I know it's not love, but it's a surreal feeling, something I look forward to, I shouldn't even have gotten this far into this… This could end up bad in so many ways… 

 

But how was I going to end something that made me feel alive? It's like taking out the flame from a candle… It feels natural to keep it burning… 

 

"Giulia??"

 

"Yes?"

 

"You zoned out, are you ok?"

 

"Yeah I'm fine. "

 

"Let's leave then". 

 

I still had my arms linked with his and my previous thoughts were flowing back with so much force. 

 

How do I figure out this new emotions, who was this man and what was he doing to me? 

 

I know for sure that it wasn't just his looks, there's just a way to him that calls out to me… 

 

He makes me think of these wild things, things that are out of my comfort zone…

 

All these thoughts… The drink is a contributing factor I swear! 

 

We made it to the car and the ride had begun, Roman had unlinked our arms earlier and now I feel empty… 

 

I decided to maintain my side of the car when he entered and didn't ask for me to come back to him. 

 

I know by tomorrow I'll feel embarrassed with all of these things I'm doing but right now I didn't mind at all, he didn't want me and it's pissing me off!. 

 

"Giulia you look like you want to become one with the door, what's wrong?"

 

"So now you acknowledge I'm visible?" he looked confused… 

 

"Moments ago you were clinging to me and now you're tired all of a sudden?

 

You'd better not come back when you feel lonely again, because then I'll be gone!"

 

I don't know what lines I used that made him laugh so hard, I was being serious here, I won't let him touch me again! 

 

"How much did you have at The Bar Amore?"

 

What did he mean by that? Does he think I'll be careless to take what I couldn't handle? 

 

"Are you saying I can't hold my liquor?"

 

The moon had shone bright tonight so that  I could see his perfect face under its tresses… 

 

How was he created this beautiful? Some highly paid models couldn't stand a chance… 

 

Although now he looked like he was stifling a good laugh… 

 

"Use your words Roman, do you think I can't hold my liquor?"

 

"No, no, not atall, in fact you my dear are a natural"

 

Good, he'd better acknowledge me… Though now all I wanted to do was lay on his chest, they looked really welcoming… 

 

"Can I lay on you?" I asked him, he was taken aback by my boldness or  he was clearly not convinced that I knew what I asked for, I guess I'll just have to ask again… 

 

"Hey, are you going to let me lay on you till we get home?"

 

"Uhh… Yeah, you can, scoot over here"

 

Good… 

 

I did as he asked and damn him and his scent, he smelt heavenly… 

 

Oh dear Lord what have I gotten myself into! I just kept increasing my addiction to this man! Is there possibly anything I could not like about him?. 

 

Regardless of this I was going to lay here until whenever, I don't know how long this bliss would last, so I would take advantage of everything I could get today… 

 

************'************************************

 

I felt a gentle squeeze on my arms that caused me to open my eyes… 

 

"We're home, now let's get you inside alright, you've had a wild night… "

 

I couldn't agree more to that, I am feeling so light that I doubt my legs could carry me presently. 

 

Before I could voice my troubles Roman had scooped me into his arms and started moving to the house, was it that obvious? I swear I am going to die of embarrassment tomorrow!! 

 

"Thank you…" my go to word… 

 

"You're welcome, and remind me to supervise you at The Bar next time OK"

 

"You don't need to tell me that cause I feel like dying right now!!!" hitting my head on his chest again, he chuckled again… 

 

I really need the day to be over, maybe it'll go with everything I didn't understand, but before then I needed to say somethings to him… 

 

If I don't take advantage of this opportunity, I don't think I'll ever say it again… 

 

"Roman…"

 

"Hmm"

 

"Remember the day I called you up on the offer?"

 

"Yeah..."

 

"Thank you for letting me pick the location for our meeting, that was kind of you… 

 

I had wanted to say this on our meeting but thought it wasn't professional, but that was really nice of you… 

 

Secondly, thank you for taking me out today… I can't remember the last time I felt alive, I'll cherish this memory forever even if I'm drunk as fuck right now! 

 

I hope you get this deal, I feel like you deserve it, I'm glad I'll be by your side to watch you grow this time… "

 

Okay, I think I ended up saying too much… 

 

All that matters is he knows I appreciate him…

 

"So that's all I have to say and I can take myself up from here, and  Thank you again for the umpteenth time 

 

It's late already and you need to get your rest as well, make sure to have a lovely night  rest Mr Vasslllev"

 

And I shut him out, as I couldn't take anymore of those stares…

 

I had embarrassed myself beyond recognition tonight but I am also glad I chose to live a bit… though I am never drinking again!!!! 

 

And Mr Vasslllev just unlocked a version of me I didn't know existed… 

 

Lust… 

 

There is definitely alot of things I would have done to that man if I had lost to the drink… 

 

I'm glad I won …
