Meeting an old friend
ALINA
I walked downstairs like a dog with two tails, my face having a brilliant smile on it.
It had been two days since I arrived back to New York.
I didn't waste any time in drifting off into a deep sleep the moment my body touched the soft sheets of the bed.
We arrived around 1am and I was feeling so fucking drowsy.
Dante had to carry me all the way and dropped me, not in my room, but in his room.
Yes. We had started sharing a room now and I couldn't be more pleased.
I liked how everything was turning out.
My married life had blossomed so well, Dante has completely changed all for me and now I feel so happy.
There's this joy that's in my heart, it radiates whenever I think of Dante. I never thought I would ever feel happy thinking of Dante but here I am, always thinking and smiling sheepishly to myself.
Later in the morning, Dante made sure all my things had been moved to his room before he left for work.
I miss him so much. He came back real late and left very early this morning again before I even woke.
He really abandoned a lot of work activities for my sake so I don't blame him.
I meandered downstairs, my thoughts still revolving around Dante.
The sun was bright today and so was my life.
And it was all thanks to the one person I never believed could ever make me smile talk more of making me happy.
"I love you Alina"
It was just a sentence consisting of four words but this sentence had changed our relationship forever.
A little giggle escaped my lips as I reminisced about everything.
Dante had caused a tornado of emotions within me and I can confidently say I have the almighty capo dei capi of the Italian-American mafia on his knees for me.
"The mansion was very lonely without you both in it ma'am" the soft voice of Naomi interrupted my thoughts.
I fluttered my eyes twice only to realise I had walked into the kitchen and sat on one of the wooden stools whilst Naomi and Mariposa prepared lunch.
"Really?" I smiled at both of them.
They both nodded and I could see how nervous they were as they did.
"I missed you both so much you know" I chirped with a laugh.
"Uhm ma'am" Mariposa nervously called out. I hummed in response.
"Master looked extremely cheerful when we spotted him leaving for work early in the morning you know" she told me.
"Are you serious?" I almost exclaimed, erupting into fits of laughter.
"Yes. He didn't have this deadly aura emanating from him. He just looked peaceful. He told us to take good care of you" Naomi concurred.
Wow. Even in his absence, he always made sure I was comfortable.
Fuck. All this makes me miss him more.
"I love him" I said subconsciously in a low whisper.
"He loves you too" Mariposa giggled sweetly.
"How did you both enjoy staying alone in this huge mansion?" I threw a question at them.
We engaged in a hearty discussion, laughing and chattering with each other.
Few minutes later, the doors of the kitchen were pushed open accompanied by a distinct rich voice.
"I knew you would be in here" Dante's voice chortled.
"Dante!" I exclaimed, bolting up and running towards him. I enveloped him in a tight hug.
Dante laughed and hugged me even tighter, his face nuzzling my neck.
"I've missed you" I cried. I didn't even care if Mariposa or Naomi was looking at us.
Dante is my husband and I can get touchy with him whenever I want.
"I missed you too sweetheart" Dante replied, his face still buried in the crook of my neck.
I could hear Mariposa and Naomi giggling behind us.
It got me smiling.
"Dante you left before I could even wake. Don't do that. Didn't you know I'll miss you too much? I feigned anger, pulling out of the hug.
Dante gave no reply but lustful stares.
"What are you staring at?"I asked with furrowed brows.
"Sembri così sexy quando sei arrabbiato" Dante huskily said.
"I don't understand Italian" I cockily replied.
"You look so hot when you are angry doll" He translated causing my breathing to halt in my lungs.
This man. Fuck.
"How can I make it up to you my love?" Dante asked in a whisper.
"Let's spend time together today" I quickly replied.
"Where amore mio? Here or we should go out?"
I thought for some time, my head tilting back and forth.
"Let's go on a date by dusk. A fancy dinner date" I tittered.
Dante encircled his arm around my waist and pulled me closer towards himself.
"As you wish baby" he winked before crashing his lips on mine.
* * * * * * *
I stepped out of the car with Dante and adjusted my gown.
Dante stared at me once again, mesmerized.
He came towards me and wrapped an arm around my waist. "Beautiful. You look so beautiful" he pecked my forehead.
"And you look hot" I smiled, planting a tender kiss on his lips before pulling out.
He was a rugged gentle man.
Dante led me into an expensive looking restaurant. I stared in awe of it
The sweet scent of lavender mixed with vanilla welcomed me in a delightful odour frenzy. My eyes took in every detail of the beautiful huge restaurant.
The ceilings were decorated with marble stones that had intricate bronze detailing. Huge chandeliers hunged at all corners of the restaurants, brightly lit lights and glistening diamonds emanating from them.
The insides was as ravishing and breathtaking as the outside. Live instrumentalist played at the centre of the restaurant, feeling the restaurant with their sweet melodious tune.
The tables were lit by candles and the aroma of various intercontinental dishes flew in the atmosphere.
It made me more eager to taste the food.
"Baby this place looks so expensive. Aren't you spending too much?" I asked concerned.
"Don't even worry about that shit baby. I have the money and I'll spend it on you because you deserve it" Dante replied as he led me towards the woman taking down reservations.
"Dante Morelli. I booked a table for two" Dante introduced himself.
The woman oogled at him, I could see it clearly but Dante wasn't even looking her way.
Fuck. Why can't all these women stop drooling for my man?
"Ofcourse sir. Right this way"she replied with a seductive smirk as she fluttered her fake long eye lashes at him.
She paid no attention to me like the air hostess and walked us to our table whilst smiling and oogling at Dante.
I was thoroughly irritated by her behaviour and so was Dante. His lips were drawn to a scowl and his fists were balled up.
It seemed like the lady forgot herself and stood next to Dante who was already seated, smiling at him and fluttering her eyelashes.
"Can I get some privacy with my wife?!"Dante snapped at her authoritatively which jolted the lady back to reality.
She looked so embarrassed and her face became flushed at her misbehaviour. She quickly scurried away but not before apologising profusely.
I laughed and clasped my hands together. "Damn Dante will I have to endure all these whenever we go out?" I raised a quirky brow, teasing him.
Dante shrugged and smirked. "Your husband is too handsome to resist"
"Stop flattering yourself" I rolled my eyes at him.
"I'm not" Dante leaned in forward towards me.
"Yes you are. You are way in your head Dante" I replied.
"I love how you say that" Dante muttered underneath his breath, his emerald orbs filled with lust.
What did I say?
"What?" I inquired.
"Head" he whispered, his lips inches from mine.
It took me a moment to realise what he meant and my eyes widened immediately.
I pulled back with a hand over my mouth. "Dante" I gasped with a chuckle.
"I want to fuck your mouth" he stated, biting his lower lip in such a manner that got shivers running down my spine.
"Well not here, not now" I chided him.
"In the restroom?" Dante asked.
What? Dante is being so unbelievable.
"No" I snapped back, laughing. "Home. I'll please you when we get home" I mumbled a reply with my cheeks flushed.
"Good girl" Dante grinned.
This man was crazy. I couldn't contain the bubbles of laughter erupting from within me.
Dante is so naughty.
I was about speaking to him when a farmilair figure approached us.
"Uhm hello" the voice nervously spoke.
We both drifted our eyes to gaze at him and in that moment, my jaws dropped.
No fucking way.
Theodore!
