5 months later:
The past 5 months have been amazing for the company. We have so many projects that we are working on and we just started building another floor for our company. I bought two more clubs and bought a building that I'm thinking of making into a new restaurant. I've made some designs for construction.
Right now I'm at the soon to be restaurant because I'm making a mural on one of the walls. I started a couple of days ago, today I'm just going to be making some last details. Painting the mural has been kind of therapeutic and calming. Sometimes Ivan visits while I'm painting to keep me company.
Me and Ivan have been perfect since the trip. We go on dates, sometimes I sleep over or he does. We are about to finish the project we are working on together, he's talked about moving in together but I don't want to go too fast. For the first time in my life I feel empowered and strong, both physically and mentally.
I heard the restaurant's door open and I looked to see if it was Nick but it wasn't. It was the one man I love most. Ivan walked in and smiled, he walked closer to me and kissed my cheek. He took off his vest so that he's just with his dress shirt looking all hot.
"The mural almost looks as beautiful as you," he said, kissing me on the lips. "Thank you" I said, giggling. "I just finished, I just have to add this one detail and... I'm done!" I said adding that last detail very carefully. I had already gotten the furniture and decorations for the restaurant so we started to organize everything. Now that it is done it looks so beautiful. It's big inside and it has a beautiful terrace that is also complete.
***New Restaurant***
Now I just have to look for my perfect chef. I have someone in mind and he's also a dear friend. He is one of the most known personal chefs in the whole state. We became friends a couple of months after my company blew up. It just so happens that he is unemployed and I want him to be the Head chef we talked and he is willing to but it's not settled.
"Look at how beautiful it looks, I'm so happy I decided to not cut down the tree that was here" I said pointing out on the terrace. The terrace is a little bigger than the inside since it's not so cold here. Half of the outside area has a roof just incase of rain so that's good.
"There's no doubt that there isn't something you can't do," he said and I laughed. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his on my waist while we kissed. We slowly pulled apart looking into each others eyes like nothing else mattered. Because in that moment nothing else mattered, only him and I.
"Did you think about what I asked you yesterday?" Ivan said, bringing me out of my thoughts. I sighed and pulled away. "Ivan... it's just, don't you think it's early" I said and he placed his hand in his pants pockets looking at me. "No, I think that if we love each other we should move in and be together" he said and I looked at him. "Ivan, I built a house from scratch with my friends who are like sisters. And... last time didn't end so well... and I know it wasn't either of our fault but I need to talk to the girls first about it" I said looking at him.
"What do you want?" he asked, looking at me seriously. What do I want? I know what I want but I'm just so scared. "I want... us to be happy and together" I finally said after staying quiet for 2 minutes. He smiled and hugged me so hard. "I want to be happy with my love, I think it's time we start planning a life together" he said and it caught me off guard.
"I'll talk to the girls tonight when we all go out" I said and he kissed me. We started to walk out and went our separate ways just to meet up at one of his clubs. Jasmine, Ale, Waverly, Gabriel, Tony, Violet, Ivan and I made plans to go out tonight to dance. Something I haven't done in so long.
I went to the company to work and then went home to get ready for our night out. I got home and went through all my clothes to find something to wear. I decided to go with something dangerous and sexy. Something that screams danger and darkness. And I know what to wear!
