Chapter 2

MILA

"Contigo para siempre pa' la eternidad"

***

The morning after dinner, I was the first one awake.

I made my way downstairs into the kitchen to make a smoothie bowl. I instantly recalled the events from last night as I was pouring the ingredients inside the blender, and a smile emerged on my face.

The way he spoke was infatuating. The words flowed off of his tongue so easily with his Italian accent. And he called me "tesoro." Maybe I'm reading too much into after only one small interaction, but I felt a spark when I touched him. I know he felt it, too.

Moments after making my smoothie bowl, I heard my fathers voice in his office. "Yes, Theo. The papers are being filed as we speak." My face lit up at the sound of his name. I immediately walked back up to my bedroom to get dressed for brunch with Dess.

In the shower, I couldn't help but think of him. I could have any guy I want, but I want him.

I began to run my fingers through my hair, imagining it was Theo. His thick fingers on my neck, squeezing and using the right amount of pressure to make my core drip at his touch.

My hands slid down my torso and over my slit. I played with my clit as I moaned his name. "Yes. Oh, fuck. Theo, yes."

I started to enter myself before I heard a knock on the bathroom door. "Mila, our guest needs to use the restroom," my mother called as she knocked. I quickly stepped out and caught my breath as I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my body.

As I opened the door, I saw him. In a black t-shirt that hugged his muscles perfectly, and jeans that fit just right.

I tried to walk past him, but he gently grabbed me. "I love the sound of my name on your lips, dolcezza." He whispered as he walked inside the bathroom and closed the door.

My heart raced and my face was flooded with unease. He had heard me. I couldn't decipher whether I thought that was hot, or embarrassing. I ran inside my room and closed the door. I was running late for my brunch with Dess.

I walked toward my closet to pick out a brunch-appropriate outfit. I decided to pick something more 'out there.'

I looked at my very green outfit in the mirror and grinned.

"So what are we doing tonight before classes start again?" Odessa said, biting into her French toast.

"No idea. Shouldn't we be prepping for school tonight?" I said back to her, sipping my mimosa.

"Hell no. We're in our twenties. We only live once and all that shit. There's a new club opening up tonight. Come with Jasper and me. It'll be fun, I promise."

"You know clubs aren't my thing. Plus, I'd rather not sit around all night watching you and your boyfriend makeout." I laughed.

"Well if you had a boyfriend of your own, you wouldn't worry about Jasper and me. "

Boyfriend? How do I tell my best friend I like my men...older.

"I'll think about it." I replied back to her, while looking at my phone.

Mateo: Where are you?

Me: Brunch with Dess. What's up?

Mateo: I'm about to head to San Diego with a couple of friends. If mom and dad ask, I'm at the library studying with my phone turned off

Me: Ur a grown man and I still have to lie for u? Lol

Mateo: You know how dad is. I'm supposed to be working tonight

Me: Whatever. B safe. Love u.

Mateo: Love you

Odessa and I walked inside Saks to grab outfits for later on. Yes, she managed to convince me to go out with her and Jasper tonight.

As I walked in, a little black dress caught my eye. "That would look amazing on you, M." I looked at Odessa and smiled at her as I grabbed the dress from the wall and walked over to the checkout counter.

Dess went over to the store next to Saks and picked up a gold two-piece set. I love how she always wants to be the center of attention.

We shopped some more and got ready back at my house. I Straightened my dark curls as Odessa put on her lipgloss. "Jasper will meet us here. He's on his way," she said smiling.

I nodded my head as I thought about how I've never seen Dess this sprung over a guy. I might even go far as to saying she's in love. She'd never admit it, though. She's always had a tough time keeping guys around because her father left when she was eleven, and ever since then, she never allowed herself to care too deeply for a man. Until I introduced her to Jasper.

Jasper and I met though our moms, who did a popular show together in the 90s and stayed friends since. Jasper and I have a very platonic friendship. Never flirted, neither of us ever made a move. It was pure friendship. And I loved having a guy friend who was truly a guy friend.

I introduced the two at my birthday dinner last year. Jasper could never make them because he went to school at NYU, but he'd recently transferred to UCLA.

"He's outside, M!" I heard Odessa yell from my bedroom. I strapped on my heels and knocked on my parents bedroom. "Mom, dad?" I said lowly.

"Yes, mi amor?" My mother replied. "I'm going out with Odessa and Jasper, I'll be out pretty late. But if you need me, call me. Love you." I told them closing the door.

"Wait," my father said sternly, "Where's your brother?"

"Oh, Mateo is out studying. He'll be back soon." I replied hesitantly. "Okay, Principessa. Be safe." I nodded and walked downstairs. Hm, maybe I'll get laid tonight, I thought.
