I stare around the luxurious apartment of my best friend 'Camila'. She lives is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city. Her bright warm eyes staring at me with love and happiness. She's been bugging me for years now to move to the city and now we're here....
"Your home is lovely, and you are glowing babes! What's the secret?" I beamed
"Thanks hun, I'll say I'm content. I have everything I've always dreamed of, a nice apartment, the best job, the best man. Moving to the city is the best thing that happened to me." She beams back.
"I'm happy for you sis. I just hope to get settled soon so I can bring Lorenzo. I don't know how I'll cope without him." I whispered the last word sadly.
"You'll be fine love, I'm just glad you're here and if you need anything don't hesitate to tell me." She added with a soft grin.
"You've already done enough by helping me apply for a job at the company…"
" If we start counting on things we've done for each other then I'll be indebted to you for the rest of my life. I'm just glad you're finally here and I'm excited to work with you." She replies
" Least I forget, the company is hosting a fashion show tomorrow, you should come, You'll see Celia's latest designs." She added.
"Celia? I thought she's in Paris." I exclaimed in suprise.
"Well she's back, that's why it's a big event, more like a comeback. I heard she decided to stay but you never know, might be rumors." She responded.
"I'll go sleep then, need to save my energy for tomorrow." I beamed once more.
"Yeah you should, you had a long day. Go rest see you in the morning." She whispered with a grin.
.......
NextDay
I smoothen the red silk dress as it hugged every curves in my body the slit so high up that one can feel my core if I swayed the wrong way. The door opened to a hot Camila, her emerald dress hugging her curves perfectly accentuating her olive skin.
"You look good girl." I beamed at her
"Well you are stunning! And the dress? I love it!"
"Thank you babes! Now let's get out of here before I pass out from excitement."I cut in.
........
These designs are lovely! I gasped as I stared at the models adorn with the most beautiful cloths I've ever seen.
"How did you even get us to sit in the first row." I whisper astonished.
" I have my ways." She whispered back
I turned back to the models, their outfits hugging every curves like a glove, their fierce stare intimidating but also beautiful. I still have a long way to go with my designs I thought. I'm here now, I have to make every second count.
As the event progressed I felt something weird. The uncanny feeling of being watched, but I was so engrossed in the show to pay attention to anything. After a while I couldn't ignore the feeling. My sharp eyes scanned through the room but nothing.
That's weird... I thought out loud, then an elderly man came on stage his warm smile captivating the entire crowd.
Host: And the brain behind these lovely designs….. Miss Celia Giodano.
I turned the direction which everyone was facing as I saw her stilettos, every step poised, elegant, sophisticated, she looked ethereal, her long blonde locks cascading around her shoulders, her soft blue eyes mesmerizing. Her outfit... she looked like a goddess. And then my breath hitch.
My eyes trailed the intruder who she just happily locked hands with, the same hands that's been haunting my dreams for years, the same hands I've always craved for all these years. I was stunned and frozen that she gave a brief speech and I didn't hear anything but the thumping of my heart and the pulse in my core.
My heart was beating out of my chest as Camila who was panicking beside me tried was whispering soothing words to me but I was too stunned to even react. I've always dreamt and imagined how our meeting would be like but I never expected to meet him so soon, so.... Beautiful and then I panicked. Thoughts swirled through my head.
What is he doing here?what do I do? I wonderd as I stared him down, eyes filled with every emotion that described how I felt for him, shock, longing, sadness, joy and fear.
Feeling my eyes on him he flicks his face briefly, his eyes locking onto mine, gaze piercing, cold. He looks away to whisper something to Celia which gave me the chan e. I quickly excused myself as I ran into the bathroom. I stayed there a few minutes finally deciding to leave.
I thought I was ready to face him, but not now, not like this, not with my heart reacting this way , my body craving him so badly.
I splashed some water on my face, dabbed my face dry with some organized tissue on a rack and turned out of the restroom.
I stormed to the exit door but before I could hold the knob a pair of strong arms grabbed my waist dragging me into a room and slamming the door shut.
I already knew who it was , my core was throbbing, my nipples we're already hard, heart beating louder than a drum, eyes filled with lust. My body was betray me more than I ever expected.
I tried moving away from me but he hoists me to the wall caging me in.
"Where do you think you are going signorina?" He asked furiously.
