Dani felt his breath on her face and over her lips, she knew his lips were so close to touching hers and she lifted her face in anticipation wanting to have a taste of him again but the kiss never happened because the doorbell rang just when he was about to touch his lips with hers. Dani couldn’t help the disappointment that settled in her even though she tried to tell herself that she wasn’t disappointed. “Are you expecting someone?”Luciano asked. He sounded disappointed too. “No, no one, unless Keira decides to come home and check on me, she always does but it is not yet time for her to show up. or maybe she forgot something,”Dani responded. She expected him to let her go but he held her still. She couldn’t process any thoughts. Whoever was at the door rang the bell again, certainly wasn’t Keira because she knew the door lock code. Luciano finally let her go and she practically ran to the door to see who it was. “Hi, I am sorry but the car parked outside is making it impossible
“Is that hard to believe? I am not a Casanova or a playboy, Danielle, I dated a lot but I can’t be classified as a playboy,”“Yes, you can. You had different women photographed with you plenty of times and those women were never seen with you again. that’s what playboys do,”Dani accused. She sounded jealous to herself and she hoped he didn’t think she was talking because she was jealous. “Do you think I sleep with every woman I am seen with? I have been seen with you so many times, does that mean I am sleeping with you? I haven’t, right? At least not yet,”Dani chose to ignore the ‘at least not yet’ part of his sentence because the thought of it alone stimulated her. “I worked for you, everyone would know we weren’t sleeping together,”She pointed out. “That is correct but some of the ladies I hung out with were just escorts and dates,”“Please, don’t lie, I literally heard your gist at Keira’s salon a couple of times,”Dani didn’t know why she felt the need to tell him those deta
“Maybe, maybe not. Why is that a bad thing?”Oh, it was a bad thing for her. “It is a bad thing because I know myself, I would end up giving my heart too and you don’t do love,”she let out. “Love? Why would you fall in love with me? If we sleep together, it is just going to be sex,”“For you, yes, it might be but it can’t be the same for me,”Dani responded. “How so?” Usually, she would not answer his questions but he sounded genuinely confused by what she was saying. It was a foreign concept to him and a lot of other people but for her, it was something that was unavoidable, she tried it once before and it backfired on her in the end. “I don’t do casuals, Luci, I have never been that kind of girl, I wish I was but I can’t get into any kind of relationship without my heart getting involved. I can’t do just sex because I would end up regretting it when my heart gets involved and the other person doesn’t feel the same,”She explained, she felt the need to be completely honest with
“If you let me, then I want to come with you just like I want to be there for every one of your doctor visits from now on,”He was surprisingly more family-oriented than she had ever thought. To be honest, she never thought he was the family kind of guy. “Won’t you be busy with work?”She asked. He loved his company so much and she didn’t want him to ignore it just because of her. “Danielle, I own the company, I have a lot of people working under me who can do a good job, I can always delegate duties and do the ones I have to do by myself at home.”He responded. “So, you can delegate but you never did when I worked for you. You always did everything and dragged me along, “She accused him. “I can’t disagree,”He at least owned up to his shit so she decided to cut him some slack. “You will come with me for baby shopping and antenatal. Keira might tag along too because she also doesn’t want to be left out. you should know that Keira is a huge part of my life. If I am moving in with
The rest of the week went by pretty fast and soon it was Saturday which meant moving day. Dani woke up quite early because she wanted to be ready before Luciano arrived. He insisted on being the one to come pick her up from Keira’s place. She didn’t have much stuff that she needed to pack up because it wasn’t her apartment and she didn’t want to remove anything from her apartment aside from the baby stuff that she had already bought. She had already gone there yesterday to pack them up and Luciano had picked everything up at his mansion. So, it didn’t take her long to pack up and now her bags sat waiting in Keira’s living room. She spent the whole morning with Keira, they watched movies and made a list of things that they still needed to buy. They even made plans to go see Keira’s parents in the new week and Dani told Keira that she would ask Luciano to come with them as she wanted him to meet her parents. Luciano texted her that he would arrive in less than two hours so she went to
Now that Luciano was taking over, Dani planned on saving all the money that she had planned to use for their upkeep until they turned two. “You are a good person, Rosalia, that’s why good things only happen to you. The universe saw you were ready to be a mom and decided that you needed a support system and they sent you someone you already knew. Think about it all as the universe's way of compensating you for every shitty thing you have been through,”Keira said. Dani nodded. She was going to think about it that way. She deserved some compensation for all the shits life has thrown at her since she was young. If Luciano was their way of compensating her then she would willingly accept. “I see a wedding in your future, my love. That man is going to fall head over heels for you and you guys are going to be married and live happily ever after.”Keira predicted. Dani rolled her eyes. “You don’t say. Luci doesn’t do love,”“That’s what they all say until they meet the right person. I wou
“Are you sure you got everything? Never mind, if you forgot anything you can always come back here. I am going to miss having you around, my darling,” Danielle’s best friend said to her and hugged her again. They were in her parking lot with all of Danielle’s bags in his car. He waited patiently for them to be done saying goodbye even though they had been at it for over ten minutes now. Not to mention the twenty minutes they spent inside the apartment while he got a lecture from her best friend on how best to treat Danielle. The same friend that called him two days ago to give him a warning. He liked her. She was protective of Danielle; it was rare to have friends who would stand by one in all things. It was so obvious that she loved Danielle and wanted the best for her. “I am sorry we are keeping you waiting,”She called out. “Take your time,”He responded and continued watching them do their thing. He had enough time in the past few days to think about his decision and how it wou
After he made sure no one would disturb her, he went into his home office to make sure he didn’t have any urgent mail waiting for him. The client he met with earlier didn’t like the property he had shown him even though that’s what he had picked out himself. Luciano had been so close to telling him to fuck off and go get what he want himself but he held himself back, he was always holding back, if he decides to say what he had in mind, most clients won’t have the mind to act the way they do but as the saying goes ‘the customer is always right’ even though most of the times they were wrong. because of that man, he had almost not been able to go pick Danielle up after he promised her that he would. Danielle didn’t seem to mind that he came later than he had told her but he still didn’t like how today had turned out. Now he needed to find a replacement property for the unsatisfied client and that was the part he hated the most. He had a few hours or maybe minutes before Danielle would
