Chapter-8

Lily

Stepping inside the cafe the fresh brewed coffee aroma hit me instantly, the smell of roasted coffee beans with some bitterness filled my nose lifting my stress and tension I didn't even realise I was carrying.

The cafe is pretty and has an old money style interior and decoration, which I loved. The cafe gives a nice subtle yet luxurious vibes, the cafe owner has a good taste. I am not a fan of coffee but I appreciate a good cold coffee and some nice aroma you know. I may also come here often after enrolling in the institute, it's a pretty good place to relax and have some peace.

Getting in I took a seat at a corner. It has a floor to ceiling glass wall which has a perfect view of the outside and is also close to the door.

Looking outside I saw a huge building, more like an old palace renovated as an institute. No wonder it has a name of Royal Elite Institute, it sure does look royal.

I thought of the ideas to get into that institute while I waited for Dante to show up his ass. He called me to have a ‘talk’ and he is not even here yet. The cafe is just outside the Royal Elite Institute so I am trying to observe a few things, better use my chance.

Busy with my thoughts I soon noticed a black BMW stopping in front of the cafe, as the car door opened and a huge foot came into view and a second later Dante Romano got out of the car.

Fucking . Holy . Hotness

His six foot something height with solid , sculpted muscles packed in a black shirt with rolled up sleeves clearly showcasing his veins on his huge hands. And suddenly I am thinking about climbing on his big body as his hands grab my—

I yanked myself out of that startling fantasy fast. What is wrong with me? That is Dante fucking Romano a cocky asshole and Mia's fiance. Get your hormones and your fantasies together bitch.

I cursed at my hormones and filthy mind as I saw him entering the cafe and every girl's jaw dropping all the way to the floor as they looked at him, infact some even glared at me as he came towards me and got seated in front.

“There was some traffic in the way, sorry to make you wait. Two espresso.” he ordered when one of the workers approached us.

“A cold coffee for me with some extra milk and sugar, I don't like espresso.” Dante brows frown as I said that. “What?” I asked.

“The last time we met you nearly drank three cups of espresso and said that it was really good.” He looked at me with doubts. Fuck, fuck, fuck think lily think.

“Um I just started cutting off things and people that are more bitter to my liking, I am starting to prefer things and people that are more nice to me.” I said as he passed me a knowing look. Nice save Lily so proud of you.

Our orders arrived and I took a sip of my drink as a satisfied look appeared on my face.

“So, what is it that you wanna ‘talk’ about huh?” I said breaking the silence as he put down his cup and looked at me. I can feel the tension building between us as he started to talk as I took another sip of my drink.

“I want you to go out with me.” I choked on my drink as my eyes got watery and I started to cough.

“What the fuck did you just said? Ya are you out of your mind? You get your boss a MRI scan. He has some serious issues up there.” I said pointing at his men who were standing behind him and I swear I saw him fighting for his life to not laugh.

“I am completely fine. I have a deal for you if only you care to listen without interrupting me for once you will understand that it is for the better.” he spit out in frustration.

“Ok Mr, continue with your talk. I am now quite interested in listening to what brilliant of a deal involves me going out with you.” I said, rolling my eyes.

“Don't you dare to roll your pretty eyes on me. I will make them roll better next time if you do that again.”

“You think my eyes are pretty? And is another statement an offer?” He ignored my question completely like I never asked them, rude bastard.

“I will get straight to the point, let's make a deal till my grandpa's health gets better, pretend to be my fiance and join me to all the events and parties” I raised my brows as he continued with his scheme.

“When he will get better we will go to him together and tell him it didn't work out between us and to cancel the betrothal.” He finished and waited for a second.

“And what will I get in this whole deal? I can't see anything major that helps me by pretending to be your fiance and handling your tantrums the whole time.” I heard a light chuckle from behind and looked at the man biting his own tongue.

“You will get to use and experience all that power and fame. Being by my side, no one will dare to touch you.” I scoffed at his statment, as I looked straight in his eyes and said.

“No one can dare to touch me anyways. You being there or not doesn't affect a shit.” he inhaled a very long breath as he leaned back on his chair and growled.

“What do you want then?” I thought for a while as a smirk appeared on my face. I know exactly what I want, looks like this fiance can be of little use afterall.

“I don't want your power and fame I just want two things from you.”

“What?”

“First of all I want you to arrange a meeting of mine with Mr. Richard Sr. the head master of the Royal Elite Institute.” Yes it's the best opportunity I am going to have. I have to prove Mr. Richard that the school needs me.

“Why?.......Do you want in? Just say it I’ll arrange the rest. I know you are starting your college just say it. Plus I can get it done sooner.” He remarked as another scoff left my mouth, this asshole.

“That’s the thing Mr. Romano, I can get in if I want to by myself. I just need an opportunity which you can provide to me.” He looked at me in disbelief.

“And what's the second thing you want.”

“I’ll take that as a yes. For the second thing I don't know it yet.” He frowns as I continued ignoring his reaction.

“Now here is the thing I have a great opportunity of getting something from you I should better use it wisely for now we’ll consider this a deal.” He nodded to me as we both stood up from our seat and left the cafe.

“I’ll drop you home, get in.” he gestured as he opened his car gate for me. Quite gentleman now, isn't he. Well it's late and it's better to go home with him so without any bicker I got it.

The ride was silent , I was looking outside window as the darkness slowly took over and street lights lit up. Soon we arrived at house, he got out and opened the gate for me stepping out I noticed Norah. Well well I guess we can have some fun

“Message me when you arrange the meeting. Make it quick, I don't have much time.” I said patting his broad shoulders. He looked at me as his body tensed by my movements.

“What. Are you doing?” he said, I looked at side as I saw Norah fumming with anger. I loved it so I continued.

“Huh! What? Don't tell me I am not even allowed to touch you.” I raised my brows. I was so busy pissing Norah off that I stumbled back when Dante suddenly took a step closer.

I was about to fell on my butt when in a suift of a moment he grabbed me by my waist and pulled me towards him.

My heart beat stopped, my breathing got faster and my eyes widened.

What . The . Actual . Fuck

I am so close to him, so close that I can clearly smell his whisky and wood like colonge which is so good it's driving me crazy. His deep black eyes piercing through me freezing me and melting me at a same time.

I am unable to move and at this point I don't give a shit about Norah she is nowhere in my mind now. The only thing covering my mind is a urge to hold his face and kiss his beautiful lips. Before I could do anything he bend a little and.

“Don't provoke me love, you can touch me but I am not a gentleman or a prince charming you are expecting.” He whispered in ears in his deep husky voice.

“Meet you soon, love.” He said pecking on my earload as he let go of me and sitting in his car he left from there.

Blinking and still frozen on my place I finally let go of the breath I was holding. This man is scary and not the horror type a scary, but a ‘ this man is lightning the emotions and fantasies I should not feel for him’ type a scary.

Collecting myself together I walked in the house as I saved his number as a ‘Rude Bastard’.
