Trouble in Paradise (Amelia's & Giovanni's Story)

Ms. BnB

                                     Giovanni / Gio

"I swear to god Cole this is your fourth time using the bathroom in the past 30 minutes, if we are late because of you I'll kill you myself!" I yell through the bathroom door as I stand here waiting for my best friend of 12 years and second in command.

"Oh shut it, I drank a lot of that lemonade the pretty front desk lady was handing out! Don't worry we won't be late to stalk your girl." Coles muffled voice comes from the other side of the door.

"First off were not stalking we're guarding our parking spots, and secondly she's not my anything, expect a pain in my ass!" I don't know why I'm getting so angry, but the idea of the beautiful, short, and snarky owner of the business next to mine being my anything is.. ugh distracting. I cannot under any circumstances afforded a distraction.

If I want to be CEO of my fathers company I have until the end August first to prove to him I'm responsible enough to handle not only the company but myself. I have a pretty wild reputation particularly when it comes to women, my bed, and boos. My father believes I need to "settle down" and "man up" before he hands over the company I've been dreaming about running since I was 5 years old.

This means I have to find someone to settle down with within the next month and a half. I look at the calendar on my desk and see the date June 17th, I sigh I need to figure something out and fast.

~~~~~~

I scan the parking lot from the little two seater table in the corner of BnB, I occasionally glance down at mine and Cole's laptop set up. Whenever I see someone try to park on our side of the lot, I get up and ask them to move. Ha this will show the owner that she's just a little girl trying to mess with the big kids.

Ever so often I look to the counter to see if the owner is working, I surprise myself with how much I kinda hope she is. I wouldn't mind going head to head with her cute little face again, it was kinda....fun. Ew when did I turn into a fucking pussy, "cute little face"?!?! I need to get my shit together.

                                        2 hours later

Oh no, absolutely not.

I run towards the annoyingly handsome man harassing my costumers, ready to put this asshole in his place.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!?"

"Exactly what I said I was going to do sweetheart."

"uh uh no no no leave now." I practically scream.

"You can kick me out of your shop, but you can't make me leave the parking lot, we share it remember." I want to smack that stupid smirk off of his face.

I laugh almost maniacally "Huh how could I forget when you're out here HARASSING my costumers!"

"Just making sure you're respecting the property lines, honey." He then has the audacity to wink all while giving me that damn smirk. "Well any way I've got a meeting so I guess you're off the hook for now, but i'll be back don't worry." Then he turns around and saunters off, his long legs moving him faster.

I stand there dumbfounded, when I finally snap back to reality all I can do is scream, " I WONT WORRY DICK HEAD!!"

I swear to god I see him chuckle.

I am going to kill that man.

                                   11 Days Later

                                               Gio

I wrap up my last email of the day, shutting my laptop I pick up my phone to text Renzo and make sure his still guarding our parking spaces.

Just as I hit send the door to my office burst open and in walks my very own curvy wet dream aka the cause of all my problems and owner of BnB.

"Hello soon to be CEO, we need to talk, now." she puts her hands on her hips trying to look scary.

"How did you get in here?" I ask leaning back on my chair trying to look as relaxed as possible, hoping to rile her up more.

"I told them to let me in and they did." she looks so confident I almost don't want to tell her I know she's lying.

"Really, they just let you in?" I say giving her my signature smirk.

"Yep, they just stepped aside. I'm pretty intimidating." she shrugs.

"I let her in." says Cole as he walks through the door she just came through, a shit eating grin on his face.

"Of course you did." I should've known.

"Hellooo, how I got in is not the point! I've had already three costumers today complain about the weird men in the parking lot forcing them to park across the street!" she all but yells.

"Maybe you should stop them from parking there to begin with." I say standing up and moving around my desk, leaning on my hands facing her.

"I have signs!" she screams stepping closer.

"Clearly not enough!' and just like that I am suddenly aware of the close proximity of our body's. I can smell her rain and vanilla scent, mhmm she smells good. Dammit, focus Gio get the distraction out of the office.

Before I can successfully kick her out, the worst thing that could happen to me happens. My father walks through my office door, accompanied by his two top men.

~~~~~~

My father is a big man, black hair, sharp jawline, and a permanent scowl. He begins to slow clap while walking towards us, "Wow Giovanni, I never had much hope when it came to you, but I didn't think you'd fail me this soon." Shit shit shit, he thinks I'm sleeping with Ms.BnB over here. If my father believes I'm sleeping around again already, I will lose any chance of taking over his company and being rid of him for good.

"Father, it's not what it looks like." I say solemnly almost pleadingly."

"Oh I think its exactly what it looks like, I mean son I get it trust me she's a particularly nice piece of--." before my father can finish that sentence he is interrupted.

"Um excuse you, I know damn well you weren't about to call me a piece of meat, who the hell do you think you are?!?" Ms. BnB begins to walk towards my father. This is going to get real bad real quick, so I stop it before it could get worse.

I grab her arm pulling her against me, her curvy body fitting perfectly against mine, "Father its not what it looks like, she's not just some random girl, she's my girlfriend."

Yep definitely just made things worse.
