Veitato: LUST IN THE FORBIDDEN ADVENTURE

33: This isn't right

      By the time I got to the door, I was shaking and trying to stay calm.

     I stayed almost an hour in the cold and that had me freezing and trembling.

      I quickly pushed the door open so I could get a warm atmosphere. When I got in, I still had Luciano's jacket on my shoulder.

     I was using it to cover myself but lord knew I was freezing inside. I turned and he was still outside.

      He walked in shortly after and locked the door behind him. I was furious when I was the smile on this face.

     He looked happy and somewhat contented to see me freezing and looking hopeless.

      I tried to ignore him by turning my face away but he continued making himself noticeable by grinning hard and finally laughing.

     "Zombie," he said and continued laughing.

     I looked away but he kept calling me a zombie and that made me frown at him.

    "Common Zombie," he called. "Bite me." He smirked as he took a step closer to me.

      "Luciano get the hell away from me or—"

      My phone vibrated in my pocket and I stopped to reach for it.

     The caller ID revealed it was Gladys.

     I looked at Luciano and turned away. I took the call and placed the phone on my ear.

     "Hey!!!" Her voice cheered from the other end.

     "Hi," I responded.

      "I enjoyed the Ice Cream date," she said. "It was so nice of you to take me along."

     "It's nothing," I assured her.

      "It was fun but there are more fun things to do out there."

     "I guess so."

    "Of course, Tiff. There's skating and I even told you about my experience hiking."

     "I haven't forgotten," I assured her. "It's kinda on my to-do list now."

     "That's good!" She laughed.

       "Ready for the week? Thinking of those classes make me nauseated."

       "You don't seem to enjoy literature classes," I observed. "Why?"

     "Damn Tiff, literature is so boring and ancient. I really wish I could scrap it from the curriculum."

     I laughed and she followed.
"So what else do you do with your time aside hating poor literature?"

     "Hmm," she responded. "I work. It's also not the best job out there but I get money and I also enjoy it."

      Hearing her talk about her job made me smile. I admired that about her, she had a life inside and outside.

     "Uh," I managed to say. "I've also been thinking of getting one. You know? Uh— a job."

       My gaze avoided Luciano's face with all cause. Even when I felt his hot gaze, burning my body, I just can't stare back.

      "It's a good idea but Mr. Sexy won't let you." Gladys joked.

    I know it was a joke but it scared the shit out of me. But I am Tiffany! I can't let him know I was scared of him.
