The drive was very silent, Mr Shadow was very focused on the road before him, while I was getting very nervous at my impulsive decision.

I had never been so reckless, following someone I didn't even know to God knows where.

What was the worst that could happen? He could kill me or even kidnap me, my poor papa would die of a heart attack.

But on the other side I was still dripping for him and that made it even harder to back out and I didn't want him to find out I was a newbie and I had never done something like this.

The man seemed to already be having a hard time dropping his principles to take me home and I had a feeling if I told him I was a virgin he'd turn back and drop me at the club without a second thought.

He pulled into a driveway and turned off his car, he sighed and looked at me and I gave him the proudest look I could muster and he smirked and got down.

He opened the door for me, closing it back when I stepped down.

I ran my eyes over the house, it was modest, nothing too fancy more like a getaway house.

I returned my gaze to him and he was watching me intently.

"What? You're just going to stand there and stare at me?"

I scoffed and crossed my arms around my breast making them pop up, his eyes trailed towards them and I smiled.

"You're all bark and no bite" my provocative words seemed to have been the last straw holding him back.

His lips crashed on mine as he pulled me into him, swiftly dominating the kiss, his tongue snuck into my mouth, finding mine.

I was out of breath but he didn't seem to have any problem, I gripped his shirt as I struggled for air.

He hoisted me up wrapping my legs around his waist, his bulge rubbing against my ass as I pressed down on his shoulder for release.

He pulled away and I quickly filled my lungs with air, he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a key opening the door.

Once in, he pushed the door close and grabbed my face before placing his lips back on mine in a more gentle kiss, his hand gripping my hair pulling my head back, giving him access to nibble on my neck.

"Fuck" I moaned out when he sucked on my G-spot sending shock waves to my pussy make me drip even more and I feared I'd wet his shirt.

He put me down and his lips found mine again as he kissed me like I would disappear.

He pulled away and quickly unbuttoned his shirt and I was totally awestruck by his body.

He was really ripped, thick strong muscles stood out, veins wrapped his forearm, he had tattoos covering one side of his arm.

The man was a masterpiece.

He pushed my now scattered hair out of my face and the look of approval crossed his eyes.

"How old are you?" He asked and I panicked.

"22" I answered quickly and he looked at me over again like he didn't believe me but he nodded.

"So you do know what's about to happen right?" He asked and I nodded.

"It's not your first time either so you should know it's just sex and nothing more".

My heart shattered immediately. I didn't want it to be just sex, I wanted him and I wanted to see him again, which was totally weird and quite creepy of me.

"Whatever makes you fuck is fine with me" I answered, shocked at my answer but he seemed to like it.

He took a seat on a couch spreading his leg widely, I could see the bulge in his pants poking out.

"Strip" it wasn't a plea, neither was he telling me, it was a command and I found that hot and sexy as hell.

I slowly pulled down my dress, swaying my hips making it look like it was too tight to get out of, he groaned softly and I smirked.

I threw the dress somewhere around the room and moved to take off my panties.

"Holy fuck" he cursed throwing his head back against the couch.

I was perfection on its own, large perky tits, an hourglass figure, soft skin and caramel brown colour, I knew the attention my body got when I wore a swim suit, standing totally naked had to be illegal of me.

"Come here" he commanded and I walked slowly towards him, his eyes following every movement I made. I felt extremely hot under his eyes filled with desire.

He unbuttoned his pants, standing up to take it off. Once done he opened his arms, calling me in. I sat on his bulging erection and he cursed softly. I wriggled to make sure I sat down properly and he gripped my waist and groaned.

His lips caught mine in a sloppy wet kiss, his hands memorising the edges of my body.

I yelped softly and pulled away from his lips, when his hand connected with my ass, the sting causing pleasure to erupt through me.

He did it again and I jerked forward with my bare pussy rubbing against the erection in his pants making me moan.

He spanked my ass once more and I grinned my pussy against his hard on, moaning loudly.

"Fuck" he cursed.

He swiftly turned me over, my head hitting the soft couch, he looked at his briefs, a large portion was covered in my juices and he looked at me.

"You're one horny bitch" the way he said it made me feel like a total horny bitch, which I started to believe I was.

He got down on his knees and spread my legs apart on the couch "no matter what happens you do not close these legs, got it?" He asked, his voice hoarse and firm and I nodded.

He traced his thumb over my clit and I shook, my thighs trembling, he looked up at me while his fingers continued to coat his fingers with my juices while tracing the opening of my pussy.

I gasped with each stroke, moaning when he pressed his thumb against my pussy, he muttered something under his breath before he dived in and started eating me out.

The sensation that ripped through me pushed out a loud moan and my legs closed as he licked and sucked on my pussy like a wild animal.

He slapped my thigh and pushed my legs open again, he stopped and looked up at me.

"Don't close them" he said, his mouth glistening with my juices and I nodded frantically, his eyes remained on me for a minute before he dived back in.

He sucked and lapped on my pussy like it was a five start cuisine, my legs shook and my moans filled the quiet space of the room.

"Ahh...fuck fuck fuck...oh God" I chanted as he continued, gripping my thighs and pulling them further apart.

Something foreign slipped into me and I tensed, I looked down at him and his finger was stuck inside me, he sucked softly at the edges of insides before slowly easing his hand out before pushing it back in and I threw my head back with a moan.

"Bloody hell" I cursed.

He pulled out completely and added another finger pushing it deeply inside of me and I groaned and gripped a nearly plush pillow.

"So fucking tight" he muttered, making the fingers three, he eased out slowly and pushed back in, I rocked my hips wanting him to add some pace.

He slapped my thighs to stop my movements and continued dangerously slow, as he looked at my pussy like it was an art and he was trying to decipher it.

He was painfully slow, I was shaking like a leaf as pleasure shot through my body but he didn't seem to mind, he was watching with an amused look on his face how my pussy twitched each time he slowly retracted his fingers.

"Please...please" I begged and his eye met mine, he picked up his pace, slamming his fingers roughly in and out of me with his eyes trained on mine, without breaking the trance, he finger fucked me.

My legs were shaking as he slowed down, and dived in, his wet tongue lapping my clit while his fingers continued to drag me to oblivion.

My toes curled and goosebumps spread rapidly over my body as i came in his face, I jerked like I was having seizure, a wonderful seizure in this case, as I orgasm he was licking off my juices, his stubble scratching against my sensitive pussy making me quiver.

He stood up and stretched out his hand to me to stand, I did so but my legs nearly gave out, with swift movement he stopped me from falling back into the couch, he hoisted me up, wrapping my legs around his waist.

His lips caught mine immediately, moaning softly when his hand spanked my ass.

My head touched the soft pillow yet he didn't pull away from the kiss, he spread my legs wide, his finger finding my clit, I moaned when he traced my insides, jerking also due to how sensitive I'd become down there.

"You're amazing" he muttered and slowly trailed wet kisses to my breast, sucking on one while he palmed the other.

"Cazzo" (fuck) he cursed in Italian and that sent a shiver to my clit, his Italian was just as sexy as he was.

His dick pushed into me and I gasped at the thickness and fatness of his crown about easing into me.

"You're too big" I muttered absent-mindedly, worried how he would be able to fit in and if I was going to have a problem afterwards, he was just too big.

"That's a problem? He asked, sounding amused and I shook my head.

I wasn't about to tell him I was a virgin but I wasn't going to let him get such a giant into me without any preparation whatsoever, what if I died? Or worse, get injured by it.

"Have never had a size that big" I muttered shyly and he nodded.

"I'll take it slow, if it eases you" and I nodded. I waited for the intrusion into my pussy but nothing came, making me more tense.

"Relax" he breathed against my neck and I nodded biting my bottom lip, his lips came down on mine kissing me passionately, I wrapped my hands around his neck pulling him in to kiss me.

In one swift move, he pushed into me and I screamed, yet his lips never left mine muffling the sound.

His length strained my tight pussy, I was filled with his cock.

"You are so fucking tight" he muttered, pulling away from my lips, without waiting he began to thrust in and out.

Pain raked through me as he thrust in without mercy, I pushed at his shoulder hoping he'd stop for a moment and let me adjust but he didn't and I couldn't blame him either.

The pain was soon replaced with exploding pleasure ripping into my body, he cursed loudly as he rammed into me roughly.

I moaned loudly, nonsense spewed out of my mouth endlessly.

"Please....yes...fuck...oh God, don't stop, don't stop, please don't stop" I begged as he thrust into me without mercy.

I gripped the sheets as a scream rippled through me, the sensation was just too much, as he constantly hit my G-spot.

"Ahh...right there, oh God..hmmm" I moaned, my french tip nails digging into his arm, making him groan and increase his pace.

He stopped and turned me over, he lay beneath me with me on top of him, his fingers dug into my waist as he rocked me.

"Damnit, you're too tight" he said, spanking my ass.

"Ride me" he commanded, I didn't need another command to act on as I started riding him, his hand remained on my waist to hold me up.

He let me ride him before he held my hips and pumped into me, my moaning filled the room and if he had a neighbour they surely heard me screaming.

He stopped and let me continue, using one hand he snuck his finger in to slowly rub my clit, while squeezing my breast with the other.

My eyes rolled back to my head and I slowed down, his hand retracted from my breast and spanked my ass twice.

"Don't slow down" I nodded and continued as he quickened his finger on my clit, also twitching my nipple.

"You feel so good on my dick" he muttered, slapping my breast watching it jiggle.

"Faster baby" he cooed, his finger quickening at my clit, I shuddered my eyes rolling once again to the back of my head, goosebumps spread rapidly through me as his finger continued to rub rapidly at my clit while I rode his dick.

The pleasure was so overwhelming I was breathless.

"I'm going to cum" I screamed and he stopped rubbing against my pussy.

"Take it slow" he ordered, his voice strained as I constantly squeezed around his dick.

"Fuck, don't do that" he mumbled throwing his head back as he tried to steady my hip but I couldn't stop twitching around his dick.

My pussy had become extremely sensitive that each thrust of his cock was making me quiver.

He flipped me around and pulled out, pushing my back into the bed, my ass sticking out, he entered from behind like a mad train and I stifled a moan in the sheets.

He thrust quickly into me, muttering under his breath, my pussy clenched around him tightly making him groan.

"Fuck fuck fuck" he chanted and my eyes rolled back to my head, it rippled through me and a scream made its way to my throat.

"Aurelio, that's my name and I want it on your lips when you cum". He said not slowing down one bit as he pumped into me

"Fuck Aurelio, fuck...I'm cuming, Aurelio please...yes...right there..yes Aurelio".

My nerves collapsed as my body shook violently, with one final thrust from Aurelio, my toes curled and I felt his hot seed in my tummy.

"Fuck, you clenched around me too tightly I didn't pull out" he breathed.

"Are you on birthday control?" He asked and I managed a nod as my body continued to tremble.

I fell limp to the bed, and so did he. He pushed the damp hair out of my face and pulled me closer to himself, wrapping his arm around me.

My body surrendered almost immediately to the weight of sleep and comfort of his arms.

"Fuck" he cursed as my eyes drooped.

"What have I done?" I heard him mutter before sleep dragged me in.

I cheated.

I cheated on Beatrice.

It constantly rang in my head, but deep down I couldn't bring myself to feel guilty.

Soft snores filled the room messing with my thoughts and I turned to find the lady from yesterday wrapped around me.

She refused to let go even when I tried to unglued her from me, her dark hair covered her face completely and I pushed it away to look at her properly.

She was brown, a lighter shade, caramel probably, she had a small cute nose and those lips, God, they tasted divine.

The memories of what happened last night came back and I got hard again, the girl was damn good in bed, with that tight snug pussy that tasted like heaven.

I stopped my mind from going further into the gutters, last night was enough but then again I was damn hard like a rock at the thought of her.

I might as well be a sinner completely and satisfy myself.

I was able to get out of her tight grip, she purred softly and blood rushed to my already hard cock making it throb and ache badly.

Her perky firm breast got my immediate attention, with red hand prints on them, they were my mark and it got me more hard as I stared at it.

I took one nipple into my mouth and she sighed softly, my hand acting on its own found her pussy and my fingers dived in stroking and rubbing circles on her pussy.

I rolled the bud in my mouth, biting and sucking hard on them, soft moans escaped her parted lips, her eyes still closed.

Her breasts were so soft that I had trouble letting them go. I pulled the other one into my mouth while palming the other, tweaking her nubs as I stroked her pussy.

Soft moans left her parted lips and smiled against her breasts, fucking her while asleep crossed my mind and I wondered how she'd react when she woke up to my dick buried deep inside her.

She made fantasies so real, and I hope she didn't wake until I was done.

I got under the sheets and spread her legs, she smelt so good that it hurt my dick to even think about not having a taste of this.

She was damn wet, she was dripping into the sheets, my tongue found her cunt and it jerked with one swipe of my tongue.

I became greedy instantly, eating her out with reckless abandon, her moans intensified and her legs shook lightly, I gripped them from thrashing too much as I sucked on her cunt.

She was breathing heavily, her moans becoming louder as I ate her pussy like a mad man.

Fuck, how could someone taste so magnificent.

I pulled off the sheet and looked at her, she was still asleep, beads of sweat creased her forehead, her lips slightly parted as she moaned softly.

I positioned my hard cock at her entrance, and slowly eased into her, her cunt clenched around my half cock inside her and I nearly came inside of her.

She was so tight, it was hard to enter her slowly without nearly combusting. I waited for her cunt to release my cock before moving again.

Her cunt trapped my cock yet again and I groaned gripping her thighs, as I cursed, once she released my cock I rammed into her at once and she jolted awake.

"Fuck" I cursed as I thrusted into her, she moaned, batting her lashes as she blinked away sleep, gripping the sheets, moaning loudly, the sounds she made only fueled my desire to thrust deeply into her, she gasped when I rammed into her pussy eyes meeting mine.

"Aurelio..." she muttered and I threw my head back, my name sounded so good coming from her mouth.

With my cock buried in her pussy, I leaned in and claimed her lips as I thrusted into her slowly, her moans and pleas were stifled by the kiss.

I trailed kisses to her neck, till I got to her tits, God they looked so good, I pulled back and thrust into her watching them jiggle with each thrust.

"Aure...fuck..hmm" I looked at her and the look on her face was enough to put me over the edge, hair scattered on the bed, some sticking to her face, her half closed eyes and her lips lost between her teeth.

"Please, Aurelio..." I loved it when she was writhing and begging beneath me with that look of innocence on her face.

I groaned as I quickened my pace "please... Aurelio..." she begged her voice soft and vulnerable, tears brimmed the corners of her eyes, rolling to her ear.

"Fuck..yes" she screamed, her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she convulsed, gripping the bed sheets tightly.

My pace quickened and I groaned in pleasure as her cunt clenched around my dick, her orgasm ripped through her shaking her profusely.

Her cunt clenched tightly around my cock and I groaned as shot loads of cum into her.

"Fuck" I cursed out of breath once again I'd cum inside her, she lay limp beneath me, my cock was still hard inside her and I thrust slowly into her.

"Please..don't...I'll...pass out if you do that again" she said breathlessly and I smirked and thrust into her earning a soft moan.

I pulled out and quickly got her cunt in my mouth, I sucked her juices that were dripping to the sheets.

Her pussy became so sensitive, it was quivering with each stroke of my tongue and that made me so damn happy.

The thought of fucking her all day lingered in my mind, she looked spent, and I believe she was hungry, I couldn't take my celibacy out on her.

"You're hungry?"" I asked and she turned to me, her eyes drooping like she was about to fall asleep but she nodded.

I got up and searched for my clothes, then remembered it was downstairs, I quickly went to the living room and found clothes.

I quickly ordered some pasta and went upstairs, she was still naked and in the same position I left her, though she looked asleep now.

"Are you okay? I asked and she opened her eyes and nodded, smiling weakly.

"I just need to bathe and get some food to my stomach" I nodded and got into the bathroom and filled the tub. I remember she smelt like an apple and luckily I'd bought some apple scented products when I was putting this house in order for a vacation with Beatrice.

The thought of Beatrice had me feeling guilty again but I quickly pushed it aside.

I returned and she had wrapped the duvet over her body, she still looked so ethereal.

"The shower's ready, I ordered some pasta, it should be here anytime soon" I said and noticed she wasn't looking at me but at my other half.

I looked down to notice I was still naked and my dick was semi-hard.

"You want to go another round?" I asked and she looked up at me, panic in her eyes as she shook her head quickly and I laughed.

"Go shower" she nodded but made no move to stand.

"Um...Aurelio I...I need help getting to the bathroom" she stammered and I stared at her until it finally clicked.

Fuck, did I ruin her legs?

"Um...that's fine" I felt quite ashamed to have done that to the poor girl. She let go of the duvet and I scooped her in my arms and went to the bathroom.

Mist clogged the bathroom and she seemed to breathe in relief as I dropped her into the tub.

"Thank you" I nodded and picked the bath sponge and lathered it and gently scrubbed her back, she relaxed against the tub, sighing softly.

It felt so natural doing this and the soft sighs that escape her lips was a testament that I was doing well.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Camille," she answered.

"American?" I asked.

"Italian, my mum was American, Philadelphia precisely".

She squealed in surprise when my hand brushed her pussy, and I stopped and raised my brows at her.

"Did I hurt you?" I asked and she shook her head.

"I'm just sensitive there" and I smiled and nodded.

"Should I continue?" And she nodded.

I gently scrubbed in between her legs, my fingers brushed against her clit and she moaned, and I got hard immediately.

She clasped a hand over her mouth and I chuckled.

I helped her out after I was done, she looked at her dress on the bed and bit her lips.

"I can't wear this" she muttered and I handed her a shirt of mine from the closet, she thanked me and put it on, it was extremely large on her and also covered my marks on her body.

A different ringtone broke the silence and she searched for it, when she picked the call, her tone became hushed.

"I'm fine, I'll be home soon" she answered.

"What? How did that happen?" She asked, her voice changing to a panicked one. The door bell rang and I went to pick the food.

When I returned she was on her feet, she seemed wobbly but she moved around to get something.

"What's wrong?" I asked, watching her panic.

"Um...I.. need to...I need to get home" she stammered.

"Food just arrived" she paused to look at my hand and I saw her gulp before meeting my eyes, her phone rang again and she shook her head.

"I'm so sorry but I can't stay, I need to leave now" she stumbled and I rushed to stop her from falling.

"Call the driver Keisha, my location is on" she said into the phone, she had her clothes and purse in her hands as she made for the door.

"How did this happen Keisha, what of my papa?" I followed her downstairs as she gently went down the stairs.

"I thought it was settled yesterday. Did she have to go on Instagram?" She stopped and sulked in her breath.

"I'll be there in a minute" she answered and ended the call.

"Something's up I guess" and she nodded.

"Maybe we can meet some other..." her phone cut her shut again.

"Giuro, papà, non è quello Che pensi"(I swear, papa, it's not what you think) she said In smooth Italian.

"ha iniziato lei per prima papà, io mi stavo solo difendendo" (she started it first papa, I was just defending myself).

"si, papà" (yes papa).

"l'autista è qui papà"(the driver is here papa).

She opened the door and stepped out, outside was a red Rolls Royce parked outside which surprised me, Camille opened the car and got in.

I breathed out sharply and returned upstairs. I took a quick bath and changed into a new set of clothes before searching for my phone.

Not like I expected a call from Beatrice, she never called and she probably hasn't even realised that I wasn't home last night, that's if she was even home herself.

I grabbed my phone, but my eye caught something on the white bedsheets and I frowned as I straightened the material to look closely.

Blood.

Specks of blood stained the white sheet, I searched all over the bed to see if she probably was on her period but nothing else.

The blood had already dried out, which meant it ought to have been yesterday.

She couldn't have been...

My mind paused before I chuckled to myself, she wasn't one, I would have known if she was a virgin.

Another look at the stains on the sheets and what I didn't want to believe seemed to be the most believable right now.

Camille was a virgin.

And it suddenly made sense, why she said I was too huge for her, why she was so sensitive after the first round.

It was probably her first and she kept quiet, I didn't even know what to say at the realisation.

Well, it didn't matter anyways, we would never meet and if we did I'd apologize and we'd move past it.

I called the house keeper and took the food with me and headed to my car.

"What's this video of you fighting in a restaurant, Camille?" I sighed.

"I didn't fight with her papa, she just made a rude comment and I stood up to her and besides I paid the customers there not to leak the video, I don't know why this is happening" I answered.

"You paid? Camille we own up to mistakes not pay them off, this is so terrible Camille, you're on almost every social media handle" papa said and took a seat.

"I'll sort that out papa, take some rest okay"

"How can I rest when my own daughter is being dragged all over the news?" he asked.

"Camille, you need to understand that you are part of the Barone enterprise, everything you do or say affects the company".

"And this right here is not a good look on the company, on me, people see you as a replica of me and if you go around behaving like this what do you think they think of me?" I sighed and nodded.

"I'm sorry papa, It won't happen again" he looked away and reached for a glass of water taking a sip.

"Maybe I actually spoil you too much, " he muttered.

"Why weren't you with Keisha in your apartment when I called?" he asked suddenly.

I...I...had to do some shopping" I stuttered, he ran his sharp eyes over me and looked away.

"Shopping, dressed like that? And without your car?" He asked" I bit my lips as I looked at the oversized shirt I wore and thankfully it covered all the hickeys and hand prints or else papa would be worried about something more than just the shirt.

"Keisha seems to be giving you too much freedom," he said.

"Come back home for now, we'll see if you're fit to go back to your apartment after this dies down" I nodded and he pressed the telephone to his ear and asked the driver to take me home.

Papa was calm which meant he was angry and angry papa was not nice papa and I wondered how people managed to think I was being spoiled by him.

Yes, he had his days but once he got mad at any of my behaviour I would have to lay low until he was okay.

A body guard followed behind me as we entered the private elevator only my papa used.

I was escorted to the red Rolls Royce outside and I got in, finally relaxing. Aurelio must have been shocked by my sudden leave and I didn't even get a number or anything.

"Fuck" I muttered as the car roll out of the car pack.

***

"What did your papa say?" Keisha asked and I sighed.

"I got scolded," I answered.

"I'm so sorry Cam, it's all my fault" and I smiled at her.

"Papa is just angry at the moment, you know how he gets" I said, nudging Keisha.

"What about the club, where were you and where did you come back from?" Keisha asked and a blushed crept up my cheeks.

"I passed out with a handsome stranger" I said, my voice small.

"Oh my gawd, tell me already" Keisha screamed and I laughed.

Keisha's mouth was wide open when I finished telling her everything.

"You can't be serious" I shrugged and showed her the hickeys on my neck and the fresh hand prints on my thighs.

"Dear goodness" she gasped.

"What got into you? I would never in my wildest dreams think you'd just let a random guy pop your cherry".

Heat crawled up my throat and I began to fidget with my oversized sweater.

"He isn't random," I muttered.

"You're defending him, just how good was he that you're defending him" Keisha asked, the look of surprise clouding her face.

I shook my head and smiled falling back into my pillow.

"He's so dreamy Keisha, I wish to meet him again" I said softly, closing my ears to drown Keisha scream.

Days passed by and papa had calmed down a bit not to frown at me at breakfast or dinner.

Aurelio still managed to sneak into my thoughts as many times as possible, God, I didn't go a day without thinking about him and that night.

I wondered if I would ever see him again, or maybe I could look for him but that would look so creepy but regardless I still entertained the thought of him.

I was just so obsessed.

Keisha dropped by when she could, she was allowed to come here but I wasn't allowed to go back to my apartment nor attend university, dad was able to quell the drama online also compensating that witch for any losses caused.

I was happy he didn't ask me to apologise to her, I wouldn't have either ways and I believe papa knew that.

"Remember Beatrice?" Papa asked, breaking the silence and I shrugged.

"The one I talked about, that's really good in business management and statistics, I'll be having her and her husband for dinner tomorrow, she's a wonderful lady and I believe you'll learn a lot from her rather than dragging hairs at restaurants"

"Dad, I told you I didn't even touch the girl" I said, giving him a pointed look and he shook his head.

"You believe me, I'm sure you do" I said cutting my chicken.

"That's an accusing comment" he said with a light smile and I pouted.

"Poor Camille, she's all alone" I said in a weary voice and he laughed and nodded.

"I'm serious Camille, you could learn a thing or two from Beatrice, it'll help in your studies also and it's also a way of prepping yourself, you'll have this company all to yourself one day" he said.

"I'd rather do something that's mine," I answered.

"This is yours, Camille," I nodded.

"Daddy's sheltered princess, I'll never be more than that name, I'll think about taking over when you've got your head all covered in grey hair" I said and papa laughed.

"That'll be a long time, and besides what are the odds that it'll be completely covered when I'm old?" He asked.

"Trust me, you'll still be crawling to your office with a broken back" papa threw his head back in a hearty laugh.

"I'm glad you're home princess" I smiled and raised my glass to his, making him chuckle.

***

My ears were hurting due to how many times papa mentioned Beatrice, he called a million times to remind me to make something really nice.

"I've never seen papa so enthusiastic to have someone over, if I didn't know better I'd say he was hitting on the woman" I said and Mrs Olga laughed.

"I think she does her work well, that would be the only reason why he's so close to her, you know how your papa gets when he works with partners who understand him very well" I nodded.

"I can't wait to go back to sleep" I murmured, if papa hadn't been so hell bent on reminding every hour, I might as well have pretended to have forgotten about it.

I didn't want to sit and listen to boring business talks, I've heard enough of it in college to last me a life time.

"Beatrice seems to be a nice lady, she's been here before for brunch, you missed it since you had a class tat morning" Mrs Olga explained.

"You're papa should be back by now, why don't you go get dressed too, the guest will be here anytime minuite from now.

I returned to my room and filled the tub with hot water, added my body wash and simply basked in the feeling.

Screw those guests. I was taking my goddamn time.

***

"Still not here? Are you sure the are coming papa? I asked and settled into my seat.

Papa stayed silent, his eyes trained on the newspaper in his hands, I had read that newspaper earlier today apart from some company that was going out of business.

"Buying the Roman company, what are the odds that It'll be back to what it once was? I asked, that got my Papa's attention.

"True...the management did a terrible job with the company and they've suffered loses that eats into the company's assets, bringing it back to it's former glory would be investing with no clear head" papa said and dropped the newspaper.

"I'm still thinking of buying it though, it's got machineries that our company would put into good use" he continued and I nodded.

The door bell rang as Mrs Olga arranged the food on the table.

"I'll go get that" I said and walked to the door, finally, angel Beatrice was here.

I opened the door and was met with a young woman around her thirties, she had her hair in a tight bun, flawless face and bright red lipstick.

She wore a black flower print gown that passed knee length which she covered with a jean jacket and paired it with nude heels.

The dress would have been better without the jacket, it seemed she was the uptight type. I smiled and she she presented a bottle of wine which I accepted and thanked her.

"I'm Beatrice, you must be Camille, nice to finally meet you" she said in smooth English, extending her hand for a shake which I took.

"My husband is coming, he had a bit of trouble parking the car, could you hold the door a little while, hope you don't mind" she asked and I nodded.

She passed into the house while I held the door waiting for her supposed husband.

Heavy footsteps approached the door and once within the censor, the bright light turned on.

"André will be glad to help park...." Words died in my mouth when I came face to face with none other than Aurelio.
