Miele

Chapter 10

Remington's POV:
Emilio and I finally arrived at the restaurant at 1:45. I pulled out my phone so I could text Venus.

Me: Hey, I'm at the restaurant. Are you here?

Venus👽: I'm on my way. 10 minutes.

Me: Okay, that's fine. Don't rush! I will go get us a table.

Venus👽: Ok. See you there. You have some explaining to do..

Me: Yes, I know. Drive safe!

Venus👽: ❤️

I didn't text back. I put my phone in the hoodie pocket and looked at Emilio.

"She said she will be here in 10 minutes. I will go get a table. Are you sitting here or going inside?"

"I will go inside and sit at another table," he replied.

"Alright," I answered back.

We went inside and I got us a table in the back corner. I ordered a glass of strawberry lemonade and thanked the waitress when she brought it back. I just sat there and thought about everything. I mean I can't love Emilio right? We just met 1 day ago and his family practically kidnapped me. I had to lie to my best friend about it. And work. Oh my god work. Macy is going to fire me. I quickly pulled out my phone and texted her

Me: Hey Macy. It's Remi Taylor. I'm sorry I didn't show up for work. Had an emergency. Can we talk later?

Macy: Huh. You had a so called "emergency" and you didn't bother calling and saying you couldn't work? I had to drop my plans to come in and do your job!

Me: I know. I'm so sorry! Can we please talk later?

Macy: Yes. Sure I guess. You better have a good reason because I am so close to firing your ass.

Me: Okay. Thankyou.

I didn't get a response after that. I scrolled through instagram and looked on there until someone slide into the booth across from me. It was Venus.

"Hey," I said.

"So what happened?"

I glanced over at Emilio who was looking at a menu. I looked back at Venus and she had her head propped up on her elbow.

"I had a last minute gynecologist appointment. I haven't had my period in a month and wanted to make sure everything was fine," I responded with the quickest thing that came to mind.

"Ookay. Well what did she say?"

"She said everything was fine and gave me some vitamins to take," I told her.

She nodded her head and grabbed a menu. I grabbed mine and internally patted myself on the back for her believing my bullshit. I felt bad about lying to her but how was I going to tell her that I was kidnapped by a mafia boss, drugged and went unconscious; twice.

"Do you want to share the Ramana Pizza," I asked.

"Yes, that sounds amazing. Can we get the chocolate covered cream puffs for dessert?"

"Mmm yes. They have the best," I respond.

The waitress came back with our food and it smelt amazing. They have the best pizza. This pizza has tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and garlic. It's my favorite. I kept peeking glances over at Emilio. The last time I did, he caught me and winked.

"So, how did your date go," I asked.

She blushed and smiled. I'm assuming that's a good sign. God, I just know they slept together.
