Owning a Ferrari would be a dream come true, I was 16 when I fell inlove with Ferrari. The first day my dad bought his baby home.
"No I don’t but my dad does, he hardly ever drives it so the keys are always in his office, I would steal it for a drive when he wasn't around and bring it before he could even notice that it gone.."
I said with a smile thinking of all the times I took it out for a drive.
"And he never caught you even once, I know I would have noticed if it was mine," he said with a smile that touched his eyes.
"Once, he caught us once, “
“I bet he did, What happened?”
“So he was suppose to be at some fund raiser dinner with my mom, I didn't have a car back then.
There was this boy at school that I really liked, he was throwing a party, getting an invitation to one of his parties was every high school girl’s dream.
So my dad leaves with my mom and April and I steal the car and go to the party with it, we get there everyone is wasted!
You know how it is with high school kids, so we get there and we get slashed, totally out of it." I look at him and he listening so attentively.
"And then?" he asked me.
"So we get drunk and my nanny Mrs. Brown's calls to say my parents are on their way we have to come back.
We had a deal me and Mrs Brown's, she could have some of my weed if she'd let me drive the car for a couple hours.
So Aoril insists on driving us back home, she wasn’t as drunk as I was. if get home before my parents, so we are off the hook.
We get the car into the garage and there is my father standing in front of us mad as hell!" I slow down and intercept into the city.
"So what happened after?"
"He sent us to boarding school in Canada, the worst three years of my life, it was only bearable because April was there with Me."
we both laughed and I pulled to side walk. "We're here..."I unlock the door to a dark house.
"April must out, probably out partying” I muttered as I walk in to switch on the lights. "Please make yourself at home" I said as I went to check in the oven.
“And how much is SPH paying you again?” He seemed shocked to see my uptown penthouse.
“Enough…” I say with a smile.
“I’m beginning to think that I chose the wrong career, You have a lovely place Bella, Very elegant like you…” He said with a smile.
“Well thank you but I cant take credit for it, my parents pay for it.”
I was hoping that there was enough food to feed the both of us. I looked at him in his dirty shirt and I could not imagine him eating in that state.
"You can go upstairs, first door on the right, there's a bathroom, and you can take a shower in there."
"You can also leave your shirt here, I'll get in the washer and dryer, it should be fine by the time you're done."
That was the master bathroom. The biggest bathroom in the house. I use the one in my bedroom and so does April. My parents where the one who used it when they come to visit.
"Oh don't worry about me, a phone will be fine, I just need to call my driver to pick me up"
"At least take a shower that shirt is filthy and I can see that you're not comfortable in it."
"No, really June I just need a phone."
"Kenny you might be the big boss in your office and you’re probably used to getting things your way but this is my house and in my house you follow my rules"
"one of them is that you go and take a shower, then have a hot meal and if you still want to make your call you can do it then but it's late and I suggest you consider sleeping in the guest room."
I spoke firmly.. I was tired of everyone underestimating me, no one took me serious, not my parent, not Chris, it was about time I put my foot down.
"Are you always this bossy or you just want to see me naked?"
He asked glazing deep into my eyes, drawing mine into his.
"No , I just don't like it when people are being unreasonable and stubborn, Now please leave your shoes by the door, my mom bought me this carpet, dinner will be ready in ten, I hope you like pasta. I'll be in the shower in my room and if you need anything just shout." I said as I moved from the oven.
I had a nice long shower just thinking about what I had done, I mean I would have never spoken to him like that or to anyone else for that matter, I was just always so well reserved and calm.
I don't know what it is but there was just something in that man the bought out the other side of me I never thought I had. I was crude when I was with him. He had an effect on me I couldn't even begin to understand.
I walk into the kitchen minutes later feeling fresh and I am struck by a wonderful smell of Jasmines and sweet spices.
It was my father's smell but it was on Kenny. He must have used my dad's things he left last week.
He was already at the breakfast bar. He had already dished up for us. He was just wearing his suit pants. Nothing more nothing less.
His bare masculine waxed chest was screaming for me to run my hands through it. His hair still damp from the shower, his handsome face no longer covered in smudges of oil, I take notice of a tattoo on his shoulder, and it is small so I cannot see clearly from where I am standing.
I had out his shirt in the washing machine like I promised, I just didn't promise to make it a quick was. I mean it had oil stains on it, besides that, I wanted to see what was under the shirt.
His thick biceps popping out from his arms, his six-pack laid perfectly like a thick wooden sculptor, Kenny was a welcome sight.
"Damn that man is fine, go grab him" I tried to shake off the naughty thoughts my inner hoe was telling me.
I scooped next to him and pushed forward my plate.
"Found a bottle of Chardonnay, Good food here..." He said with a mouthful of food.
He must have been hungry, digging in fork after fork, I know April is a good cook but she must have out did herself for Kenny to be eating this much. For someone who was so well polished he had terrible table manners.
"Eat..." He demanded, disturbing me as I was hungrily looking at him as he eats, I was hungry alright, but not for food, Hungry for him, hungry for his kiss, hungry for his touch, hungry to feel his body rub against mine, hungry to feel him throbbing deep into me.
"I think I'll have ice cream instead, I’m not that hungry" It was true, though my last meal was at lunch I was not hungry, How could I be. With him sitting next to me. This was just surreal.
The hottest person at the Base was in my house eating dinner in my kitchen. How can I be hungry for anything else except him? How could I possibly want anything else when he is here in front of me?
"Out of your league " My inner hoe whispers, "I know..." I whisper in silence back to her. I stand up to go and get me ice cream he grabs my hand.
"Eat!" he commands again. I mean what was with him and telling me to eat. I was not hungry.
"I said I’m fine, I'm an adult and I can take care of myself you know." I said as I pulled my arm from him.
"You can't just tell me what to do you know, I said I’m fine and now I would like to have my ice cream in peace please."
"You don't really look fine to me..."
"Excuse me!" I yelled as I turned to look into his eyes. "You're such an ass," I Said angrily and went to the fridge to grab the biggest tub I can find in the freezer.
Now I did not just want ice cream. I needed it. Comfort food to help me digest the bluntness of the vile words I have just heard. I have been told some pretty messed up s**t in my life but this had to take the crown.
No one has ever told me that I do not look fine. I mean why would they? I am pretty, I do not exactly have a model figure size zero but I was thick with an hourglass figure.
I loved that I was a C cub size. I loved my curves and that I had a big booty. I was always happy.
"Bella..." He said calmly "Don't take this the wrong way but I don't think that you need to be thin you know..." He took a sip of wine.
"Well I guess what I’m trying to say is that you have lost weight, I mean you are not as thick and luscious as I first saw you in the lift, your curves look thinner and again please don't take this the wrong way, I mean I love a woman with curves and yours where the sexiest in the office, well still are but you know, not as thick and now I can see why..."
This man was giving me compliments and insulting me at the same time, I don't know how to feel about this but I was drawn to every word he said.
Enchanted by his spell. Mesmerized by his words. April always said I was beautiful but now sitting here sitting next to the sexiest man in the universe and him telling me those things was just epic for me.
This was a big deal. He was right about the weight though. I had lost some weight. I was always busy with my new job. I hardly ever went out and some days I even came back too tired to eat. I would grab an apple, drink my herbal tea and go to bed.
"Is something wrong? Like if you want to talk I’m here, I just don't like you seeing you fade away right in front of my eyes" He was really sounding like he was concerned somehow.
"Something wrong? No everything fine, I’ve just been busy that's all and I'm not fading away.I mean why would he think that something was wrong with me? What might have given him that idea. Crazy idea that was.
"So what's going on between you and Christopher? I saw how tense he was to see you in Jane's office this morning?"
Oh shoot! How did we switch from talking about my weight to Chris? Moreover, suddenly I relived those last couple of hours we spent together at the Cancoon.
How dirty and ashamed he made me feel. He treated me like a condom. Used me and threw me away. I hate no feelings towards that man.
I mean I thought he was a nice person when we first met. I still cannot believe I fell for his tricks and got my fingers burnt by his fire.
I was not about to tell him about that. I also did not want to lie to him but I could never tell him the truth. I was already ashamed of myself. I mean I am a big girl and I should have seen him coming a mile away.
"If something is too good to be true, it certainly is" Those words which my mother always told me where ringing in my ear. If only I had heard them on Friday.
"Issa.. Please eat, you can tell me about Christopher later"
Oh what is it with this man and food, I thought we might have passed that by now, I mean I eat and I have never been afraid of it but now was not one of those times.
I had no desire to stuff my face with food but then this thing with Chris was lying heavy on my shoulders. It was a burden I would have no business carrying if I had trusted my instincts from the start.
"There's nothing going between Christopher and me..." I dug my fork into the food hoping I would get his mind off Chris completely.
"Well certainly didn’t look like nothing to me, you see I Know Christopher Isabella, I know him all too very well..."
The door opens and it is April who looks a bit tipsy. Saved by the bell. Oh, thank god she is here. This is the kind of distraction I needed now.
"Chika I’m home..." She yelled as she locked the door behind her.
"So Bellas did you like the pas... Oh.. Hi?" She said waving her hand at Kenny. She was not expecting to find a handsome sexy half-naked man in the kitchen eating the pasta she cooked in the kitchen.
She was not expecting any man at all. The only people who have been here are the ones she brought home with her.
This was the first person I have brought home. I see the look on her face as she takes notice that his hair was still wet and that I was still in my bathrobe and obviously wearing nothing underneath it.
"It's not what you think April..." I give the "please don't embarrase me infront of a hot guy look"
"How rude of you not to tell me what I would be walking into...You should have warned me about our guest, I might have to call the fire department, it’s very hot in here" She said jokingly.
