As we stood beside each other inside the elevator, Marco wrapped his right arm around my waist possessively and pulled me closer. My heart was pounding inside my stomach.

He then murmured close to my ear as I felt the goosebumps all over my body, "Posso dormire con te stanotte?" He asked and I blushed a bit. (Can I sleep with you tonight?)

I couldn't help but smile as the hair on my skin stood up. I gulped as I nodded at him. Giving him my answer.

The elevator door opened and we stepped out. Marco's hand was still around my waist.

The restaurant was exquisite and elegant. We were the only patrons there. I looked around the room as I thought how expensive this place must be.

A tall female waitress came and greeted us. She showed us to the table in the middle of the room which was decorated with candles and had a red rose lying on the center of it.

I was about to pull the chair out when Marco stopped me.

"Let me, Bella." He said, stopping me, and then he pulled the chair out for me.

I told him, thank you, as I sat down.

"This place is quite elegant," I said, taking the menu off the table and opening it.

He nodded while looking at me. "Yes, it is." He took up the red rose and gave it to me. "This is for you, Bella."

"Oh, thank you, Marco, and thank you for taking me here." I took the rose from his hand.

"You don't need to thank me, Kelly. I know that you're crazy as hell about Jamaican and Mexican cuisine so, I ensured that they were on the menu." He said while caressing the back of my hand.

"Oh, Marco, thank you." I beamed.

He looked at me and slightly nodded.

I told him how much I loved Jamaican and Mexican dishes.

He was a strict vegan and so was Lorenzo.

The waitress came and took our orders and I couldn't help but notice her flirting with Marco every chance that she got. She was completely ignoring me when I gave her my order and focused all of her attention on Marco. He didn't even look at her. His eyes were fixed on me the entire time.

"Bella, when we get back, there's something that I need to tell you." He told me as the waitress returned with our orders.

"Okay," I replied before taking a sip of the expensive wine.

I watched Marco keenly as he ate. I wanted to dig into my meal but I felt a bit shy to do so. Seeing as he was constantly watching me.

"Is everything okay, Bella?" He questioned as he stared at me.

"Oh, yes, it is," I replied. "It's just that I've never been to such an exquisite place like this before," I confessed to him.

"This is the least, my pretty. I have much more in store for you." He said.

I smiled at him as I cut a piece of the Escovitch fish.

After dinner, I was served a strawberry sundae and a cheesecake for dessert. Marco said that he was full and didn't want anything else. I was so full and I felt so uncomfortable because I had eaten too much. My tummy felt as if it was going to burst wide open.

Marco sat there watching me as I got up and went to use the lady's room. When I got back to our table, I told him that I was ready to leave. He nodded at me, got up, and held my hand as I took up my purse and the red rose off the table and walked beside him into the elevator.
