Leilani Moore is a girl of many talents and secrets. She has been working at a very successful stripclub in L.A. and has become one of the best dancers there. She thought her life couldn't get any better than this. Until she gets invited to breakfas...
*Leilani* After I got me and Mars ready for the day, we went into the kitchen to find Matteo finishing up with everything. "Smells yummy in here." I smile. He turned around to look at us. "I made your French toast and also some crepes. Mostly because that's all Mars will ever eat for breakfast." He rolls his eyes.
"That sounds just like you Matteo." I smile. Mars is truly just a copy of his father in every way. And it's just so cute. But he looks like the both of us. He has Matteo's skin tone but my freckles and eyes and has his hair and nose. "Anyways, I was thinking maybe we could go out somewhere today. Just you and me."
I looked over at Matteo a little confused. "And where would we go hm? And where is Mars gonna be?" I asked raising my eyebrows. "He will be with my parents. They've been asking for him lately. So I thought why not let him go over there for the weekend." He shrugged.
"So you've been had this planned out?" I smirked. "Maybe." He smiled. God I love that smile. "Where are we gonna go?" I ask, walking over to him. "That's a surprise. Just look beautiful like always." He smiled. ~*~ It was about 6pm and we had dropped Mars off with Matteo's parents about ten minutes ago. I don't know why but the distance from him was a little painful. Matteo said it could be because I'm starting to create the bond me and Mars didn't have. So it's gonna take time to get used to it.
"Can I at least know what to wear?" I asked with my hand on my hip looking over at him on the couch. "Whatever you wear determines where we go. But I would love to see you in a dress today." He smirked. I rolled my eyes and walked upstairs. I got a text from Roman today, but it wasn't a normal one.
It was like more so of a drunk text. Like as if he was apologizing for something and he mentioned a name... Rosalina I think. Like he wasn't talking to me. It was like he was talking to whoever that is. So I'm a little confused and concerned. Matteo told me to not worry about it until he comes back.
He said the stress isn't good on me. But I couldn't help but think about it. Hopefully this time alone with Matteo will help relax me and help me answer my question from this morning. I decided. To put on a short, sleeveless, black dress. I paired it with some black heels. I decided to go with a light makeup look and let my hair down.
I walked downstairs to see Matteo now I'm the kitchen doing something on his phone. "Is this appropriate?" I ask, looking at him. "Do a spin." He says. I spun around for him and then looked back him to see him smiling hella hard. "It's perfect. You ready?" He asked walking over to me. I nodded and followed him to the door. ~*~ After about thirty minutes of driving we made it to an empty park. "This was the surprise?" I ask, looking over at him. "You don't remember huh?" He looked over at me. I shook my head feeling bad. "This is where we went on our first date. This is also where we were when you told me you were pregnant." He smiled.
I remember it all now. "Oh yea... this is where we had our first kiss. And our first argument. This was literally our safe place at night to get away from our parents. Mostly my parents." I laugh a little bit. "Yea, your parents were just always a pain in the neck honestly." He chuckled. "Yea." I smiled.
He got out the car and came over to open my door. He told me I'm not allowed to open my own doors when he's around and if I do he will tickle me to death. Doesn't sound too bad but I'm gonna just listen. I got out the car and he grabbed a blanket and a basket leading me through the park.
"I guess heels was a bad idea."I laughed. He looked over at me struggling to walk on the grass. Then next thing I know I was lifted in the air by one arm. "Matteo! Put me down." I scream. "Your having trouble walking in the grass. Are you not?" I stayed quiet. "Exactly... and I told you this before. When your with me you get nothing but queen treatment." He said sternly.
Once we got to the spot he wanted, he gently set me on my feet and placed the blanket on the ground. "Have a seat." He smiled. I sat down on the blanket and he sat next to me. From the area we were sitting we could see the sky perfectly. The moon was full and the stars surrounded it perfectly.
It was so beautiful. "The sky looks lovely tonight." I say quietly. "Almost as much as you do right now." He said, looking at me, making me blush. "But anyway. How has life been treating you Matteo?" I ask, turning to face him. "Eh it's been okay I guess... Been trying to keep up with Amara and his rapid growing. Like I swear the older he gets the harder it is to control him."
I laughed. "It's that hard huh?" He nodded his head running his fingers through his hair. "It is, but now I have his mother to help me." He grabs my hand gently, kissing the back of it. I smiled and squeezed his hand gently. "I'm glad he still had you for these past three years." I say quietly. "Can I ask you something Lani?" I nodded.
"What made you fall for Roman?" I swallowed hard. I wasn't expecting that. At all.... Why did I fall for Roman? "I think it was bc I saw a little bit of you in him... Same smile, build, charming personality." I say. "So you fell in love with him because he reminds you of me?" He questioned. "I wouldn't say fell in love... more like craved what I lost." I say.
He was quiet for a second. "What you lost?" He raised his eyebrows. I hummed in response. "Because I was missing they feeling you gave me for so long that when Roman came along he reminded me so much of you. And I thought that I actually found what I lost until that day at the cafe." I say looking at my lap.
"So. You still love me?" He asked. I looked up at him and looked him directly in the eyes. "Matteo, I never stopped loving you." I say quietly, placing a hand on his cheek. "I've loved you ever since the day you walked into my history class in sophomore year." I smiled.
"That was a very long time ago." He chuckled. "Yea I know. And I never plan to stop loving you either." I say quietly. He looked at me and smiled pulling me in closer to him, and gently placing a kiss on my lips. I returned the kiss of course, wrapping my arms around his neck causing him to pull me in by my waist.
I had forgotten how much I loved the feel of his lips on mine. And the feel of his hands on my body. Wait! I gently pushed him away. "W-we can't... it's not right to Roman..." I say quietly. I saw his jaw tighten a little bit. "I'm sorr-" before I could finish he cut me off. "You're worried about someone that you don't even love, Lani." I looked at him.
I could see a bit of anger and pain in his eyes. "Matteo.." I trailed off. "Do you love him?" Hm?" He questioned. "I tried to." I say quietly. "I need a yes or no Lani. Do. You. Love. Him." He gently grabbed my chin. "N-no... No I don't." I say, watching as his facial expression softened.
It wasn't until today that I realized I was only with Roman because I was still yearning for Matteo's love... "Okay then... Don't ever push me away like that again." He smashed his lips against mine again, causing me to become intoxicated in his touch. - - - - ~*End Of Chapter*~ - - - - Thanks for reading loves!
