Loving Valentino

~Perfect~

I'm way in over my fucking head. 

I've been overthinking everything between me and Valentino since I came home yesterday.  I'm not sure if I forgave him too quickly and the last thing I want is for this whole thing to backfire.

I don't know why I'm so drawn to him. 

The way he clenched his jaw when he apologized. He looked so angry with himself and all because he felt bad about hurting me.

The gala is tomorrow and Valentino convinced me to let him take me dress shopping. He recently texted me saying he would be here in ten minutes, so I was putting the finishing touches on my outfit. I adjusted my skirt and smoothed out my black top, making sure I looked exactly how I wanted before changing my earrings and putting on my necklace. 

I looked over my appearance and blushed at the thought of Valentino looking at me, then my heart started to beat faster because I knew my mom was still home.

Her nosey ass would definitely fuck things up.

I looked down at my phone when I heard it chime and saw Valentino's message.

Valentino:
I'm outside whenever you're ready bambina.

I blushed at his choice of words and grabbed my purse before walking out of my room and downstairs. My mom was on the couch sipping wine and watching some lifetime movie.

I tried to sneak past her and speed out the door, but of course she heard me.

"Where are you going?"

Shit.

"Dress shopping with a friend. I'll be back later."

"Are you going with Lincoln?" 

For fucks sake.

"Nope I meant another friend. Mom I really have to go." 

Before she could ask another question I opened the door and left, walking as quickly as I can to Valentino's car. 

"Why were you brisk walking?" he asks when I sit in the passenger seat.

"Because my mom is literally the nosiest person ever."

He chuckled a bit and then paused taking a moment to look over my entire appearance.

"Fucking hell Adelaine." he said lowly rubbing his hand over his jaw.

I was blushing beat red now and I just wanted to take the focus off me.

"Valentino if we don't leave now my mom's gonna see you." 

"The windows are tinted tesora. She won't see a thing." he responded with his voice taking on a lustful tone.

He met my eyes one last time before taking off down the road.

We were now in one of those malls with all the luxury stores on the other side of the city so that we wouldn't run into anybody we knew.

He held my hand in his and intertwined our fingers as we entered Dior which caused a little smile to appear on my face along with a faint blush. 

"Hi! Can I help you guys today?" a pretty sales agent approached us.

Valentino looked at me expecting me to answer her, but I genuinely had no idea what I had in mind.

"Umm I think I'll just look around for a while. Thank you." I smiled at her expecting a smile in return.
