Chapter 16

MILA

"So many times that I tried to get over you no lie"

***

I turned to face him. "Hi, Mr. Romano."

The eye contact was unbearable.

"You look remarkable tonight, tesoro."

"You don't look too bad yourself." I cleared my throat and adjusted my dress. "I didn't think you'd be here."

"Why not? Your mother throws extravagant fundraisers."

I stayed quiet.

"About our date.." He started. "I leave tomorrow morning for a conference, but I'll be back Wednesday. So, dinner Friday? I'll pick you up at 6."

"Sounds good."

"Your birthday is coming up, isn't it?"

"Yes, how'd you know?" I inquired.

"Lily wouldn't stop talking about it." He laughed. "You're going to be twenty-one, correct?"

"Yes, sir. Mateo and I." I said, looking up at him.

Theo adjusted his posture, then began to look around the room.

"Have you been studying the topics you're struggling in?"

No.

"Yes."

"That's great, I can't wait to see what you've learned in our next study session." He smiled.

He faced the bartender. "Cider."

"Still no alcohol, huh?" I asked.

"Nope. Just drinking on special occasions."

"Is Mr. Romano turning over a new leaf?" I jokingly mocked.

He chuckled. "I think I am."

His eyes began to wander on my figure.

When I noticed, I started to seduce him in the most innocent ways.

I fixed my dress top to where it showed more of my cleavage, and I gently brushed my hand against his bicep whenever he said anything remotely funny.

Our conversation went silent once the slit of my dress began to show my black, lace panties. Just as I anticipated.

"Meet me in the long hall." He blurted out before walking away, fixing his suit.

I waited about two minutes before I went to him. Didn't want to seem suspicious.

I walked through the crowds of people, saying hello, waving, and smiling. I spotted my father come in a half an hour late, as per usual.

As I made my way down the long hall, which was barely filled with light, I made sure no one followed me. The walls were covered in floral wallpaper, with little chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.

Searching for Theo, I turned my head left and right to try to find him.

I was stopped in my tracks when I was pulled into a dark room.

My heart started racing as Theo's hands grabbed onto my tiny waist, and they stayed there.

The window was slightly open, casting a hue on the side of my face, allowing me to see how entranced he was with me.

His lips met mine. The kiss was soft, but firm and demanding. Almost like he wanted more.

He moved his hands from my waist, and as one landed on my cheek, and the other on my butt, I let out a soft moan into his mouth.
