CHAPTER FIVE
By the time we got to the airport I was almost dozing off, we brought out our bags and made our way to the jet that was waiting for us already, I thought we were going to take a commercial plane actually. Fun fact, I have actually never been out of the country before, and one night myself and Ivan just caught ourselves talking about different things.He asked if I could travel anywhere where would it be and without thinking so much, I answered, "Greece.""Why Greece?" He asked.I shrugged, "No particular reason. Just Greece.""Okay, then Greece it is." He replied and not knowing what that meant I decided to keep quiet as we continued to stargaze. But now, I do understand what he meant by that."You tired?" He nudged me with my duffel bag in his hand."A little." I wriggled a yawn."It's okay. You can take a nap when we take our seat."I gazed around the inside of the plane im awe, everywhere was furnished perfectly and it was literally shiny, I swear. I do come from money, but I have never been on a private plane!I bet Dante has been."You own the plane!" I whisper yelled, as I took in my surroundings."No." He chuckled, "my dad owns the plane.""Still yours.""Nope."The pilot made an announcement, telling us to buckle our seat belts are we prepare for take off. The journey will take about nine hours so I prepare to style myself in my seat.Immediately we got into our room, I removed the flip flops I was wearing, my joggers and then my bra. Leaving me with only a shirt and my panties."How are you not tired?" I groaned as I walked into the bathroom and then washed my face."Do you want to eat anything?" Ivan asked instead, dropping our bags in a corner of the room.I wiped my face with a towel and then came out of the bathroom. I sighed, "no, I don't think I'm hungry. I just need to sleep.""But you didn't eat eat the sandwich you were given on the plane." He moved closer to me, wrapping his hands around my waist and pulling me closer before I had the chance to get on the bed."I can make you oat with bananas?" He asked placing a kiss on ny head."But I am really not hungry." I hid my face in his chest."You'll need strength for everywhere we'll go tomorrow. I can feed you if you want?"My ears perked up at the thought of him feeding me. "You will?" I grinned."Yeah, if that will make you eat." He nodded, his hand moving lazily on my back."Okay, I'll eat your oats.""Better." He game me a small smile.I went on my tip toes and then placed a kiss by the corner of his mouth. He shook his head, a lazy grin on his face, "you are a tease, you know that right?"I feigned innocence, "I didn't even do anything."One of his hand went my behind my head, he lowered his lips on mine, while I circled my arms around his neck as he lifted me up.The next morning I wake up to an empty bed. I sit up in bed, weighing my decisions about wether still going back to sleep or going into the kitchen to get something to eat. I go with the latter. I stand up from bed and make my way into the bathroom, I quickly brush my teeth and then wash my face.I tied one of the white robes I found in the bathroom and then entered back into the room the same time Ivan entered, with a tray of food in his hands."You read my mind I swear." I grinned, walking towards him and then giving him a kiss."Good morning." He smiled.He placed the tray on the bed, "are you not eating with me?" I asked as I took my seat on the bed."No uh I have an errand to run.""I can go with you." I offered but he declined."I promise when I get back we'll leave to go out, how does that sound?""Okay." I replied munching on a strawberry."Okay." I looked up and saw him already looking at me with...something...in his eyes.He came over and placed a kiss on my forehead, his lips staying there for a while before he pulled away and then left the house.About two hours later, Ivan is back and we proceed to leave the house."Do you have an idea where we're going?" I asked, swing our intertwined hands."Just anywhere probably."We spent almost the whole day walking around, trying new food, buying different things and laughing loudly. It feels good to be in a place where no one knows you, really.We were visiting a stall where beaded jewelries are sold. My eyes caught one of the jewelries, it was two in a pack, "how much is that?" I ask the old man."Three dollars." He gave me a small smile.I brought out five dollars from my purse and handed it to the man, telling him to keep the rest. "Thank you." A large smile on his face as he waved us off."I'm hungry." I complained, hand in hand with Ivan."What do you want to eat?""Anything good." I shrugged. I brought out the beaded bracelet from my purse, "look at what I got us." I held it high for him to see."I told you not to get me anything Idalia, you spend my money, not yours.""I wanted to get you something nice. Plus it was just three dollars for the two." I shrugged."I don't care. My money.""Yes sugar daddy." I teased and he pulled me closer to him by my waist as we walked down the road.We later found a small place where they sold food and we both ordered. I had the spanakopita and fries while Ivan had the pork gyro and a coke for both of us. It was an underground restaurant packed with locals.Ivan stared at me as I struggled to fit the gyro into my mouth."It tastes good." I said with my mouth full."You taste good."My eyes widened as my jaw slacked. I felt the blush creeping from my neck. I put my gaze down as I continued stuffing my face with my food."You're turning red!" He laughed."You can't say stuff like that outside!" I smacked him across his chest. "Of course I'll turn red.""I'm sorry darling." He placed his hands on mine, keeping it on his chest. He raised it to his lips, his eyes on mine and placed a kiss on it making me exhale.I cleared my throat, withdrawing my hands from his, "can I try your food?""Sure."I squealed as I made grabby hands at his plate as he shook his head at me, an amusing smile on his lips.CHAPTER 6After we are done eating and the waitress already came to pack up our plates, the sun was already setting and a lot of people were still outside, walking their dogs and shit. "Before we leave I need to go use the toilet." I told Ivan as I stood up from my seat and then made my way into the toilet. I entered into one of the stalls, did my business and then flushed. I came out of the stall to meet another lady in the bathroom. "Hi." I greeted her. "Hi." She smiled back at me. I was about to leave the bathroom when she asked me a question, "sorry, do you by chance have any tampon on you?" "Oh yeah sure but I have to grab it out of my purse in the shop." I pointed back at the shop. "Thank you." She sighed in relief, "you are a life saver." I quickly exited the bathroom and back to our table to grab the tampon. Ivan was on a phone call and he was whispering hushed oh but sounded angry. I lifted a questioning eyebrow May him but he waved me off. I grabbed my purse and went
CHAPTER 7After spending about half an hour at the party, Ivan practically dragged me out of the house, saying he needed his sleep. That was an obvious lie, the guy never sleeps. Always works like a maniac, just like my elder brother.Immediately after entering the house, Ivan locked the door and made sure it was properly locked before we both went upstairs to where the bedroom is. I dropped myself on the bed with a loud grunt. "Do you need to use the shower before me?" he asked as he removed his shoes and placed them neatly beside the bed."No. It's okay, you go in first." I replied but my voice came out muffled since I was face flat on the bed. I heard him chuckle before entering into the bathroom and then after some minutes the shower started running. I was almost about to fall asleep when an idea popped into my head. I quickly stood up from the bed, and undressed, picked up a white towel, wrapping it around my body. I mentally prepared myself for what I was about to do. I mean sh
CHAPTER 8FIVE YEARS LATER (Present time)"You know if you keep bugging father about going to the warehouse with me or any of the guys, he will hasten his process on finding you a husband." My older brother Dante stated as he continued working on his laptop, his chair swirling left and right. The warehouse isn't working on exactly a warehouse it's just code for like a huge basement that isn't actually underground."You know about that?" I scrunched up my nose. "I know about everything. I am the oldest." "What, and you agree with it?""Agree with what?""Finding me a suitable husband." I air quoted around the husband. "We are not in the 18th century anymore.""The world we are born into is." he shrugged. "I will make sure it is not an asshole he gets for you. I promise." he promised."Back to the main topic, you can just sneak me in. He doesn't have to know about it." "He will skin me alive once he finds out his princess has been to the warehouse." I rolled my eyes. "You're exagg
CHAPTER 9My father called an emergency meeting with the rest of the people working with him and presently the house is filled with a whole lot of people wearing black suits and black tie. My father's main guards made sure none of the other people wandered into the main house but still, my personal guard won't stop being a pain in the ass, "Miss Bianchi, I think it is advisable for you to be in your room at this time of the day." he said in a monotone voice as he followed me behind my back. Copper is a tall bulky white man, with a bald head and he is always on a suit with sunglasses at all times, mainly when we are outside."I am perfectly fine and I can take care of myself if something happens," he grunts, "and I am sure nothing will happen." I looked back at and gave him a smile as I opened the refrigerator and poured myself a cup of water."Besides, you do know I know how to fight right?""Yeah, but I do not think you would be able to take two large men of my size on your own."I
CHAPTER 10 I was on my third champagne when Gabriel came to meet me by the bar as he sat down on the stool releasing a large exhale, "he says he wants to invest in the company whenever I choose to start it." Did I ever tell you guys I have a genius for a younger brother? He intends on starting is tech company with his best friend once they get enough genuine investors. Dad has been helping in that part mostly, because he does know some really influential people. "Did you agree?""Told him I would get back to him later.""That is smart." I answeresd as i gulped the remainging chmapge in my class."I know. Anyway, what are you going to do about the matchmaking dad is planning for you right now?" He grinned as he gave his order to the bartender."I thought he was going to give me more time. At least five years.""Five years?" Gabriel looked at me like I was mad."Yes."He scoffed, "You would probably get married within three months from now with the rate at which he is going with the d
CHAPTER 11I groaned loudly as I entered into my room, slamming the door. I dropped my bag on the floor and then sat on the bed, my legs apart and my head in between my palms. I should not have done that. I should not have said that to him. I can't believe I said that! It has been seven years since mom died. I was eighteen when she died, it was a rough time for our family and those close to us. Mom had a stalker apparently, but she didn't think it was necessary to tell dad until it got serious. She got abducted and eventually killed. Dad was with her when she died, said he saw her take her last breath and it has haunted him ever since. That's when his overprotectiveness over me started.Me saying what I said, will break his heart. He would be thinking about her death right now and the guilt would be eating him up from inside. My parents loved one another, it was obvious to everyone around us and even our closet family. It was an arranged marriage like father is planning for me and I
CHAPTER ONE"Your birthday is next week, what are you going to do?" my younger brother, Gabriel, asks as he pours a bag of Cheetos into his mouth all of us staring at the movie playing on the large screen. And by all of us I mean myself, Gabriel and Ivan- my older brother's best friend."I do not plan on doing anything. I am turning twenty, no big deal" I shrugged as I put a spoonful of nutella into my mouth. "That thing is going to give you serious stomach pain and you will be writhing in pain." Ivan, my brothers best friend scolded me as he eyed the jar in my hands. He was the one that literally made me obsessed with it. I rolled my eyes, putting another spoonful of nutella into my mouth, "mind your business.""We could go to the club?" Ivan suggested as he stood up from the couch beside my brother and then sat beside me. I gave him the side eye as he lifted my blanket and then extending it on his thigh. "What are you doing here?""Sitting near my favourite Bianchi sibling of cou
CHAPTER TWOSomeone once said your twenties are your selfish years. It's a decade to immerse yourself in every single thing possible. Be selfish with your time, and all the aspects of you. Tinker with shit, travel, explore, love a lot, love a little and never touch the ground. And that's exactly what I am going to do today. Today I turn twenty.The first thing I see when I open my eyes in the morning are two large ballons with twenty written on them and underneath it is a small note. From Ivan, the back says.I peeled it open with a grin on my face, Twenty looks good on you my Idalia. I know, I know, I haven't seen you yet but I have seen you on other mornings though and if how you look on other mornings is how you look right now, then I am right. Happy birthday to my favourite person. See you tonight my love.I folded it back neatly and then placed the piece of note under my pillow. I entered into my bathroom and brushed my teeth before leaving downstairs for breakfast. As I descend
