Collette walked out of her room hearing her parents talk in their bedroom holding onto Antonio slowly going down the stairs trying her best not to make a sound. She reached the bottom of the stairs sighing when she saw her mom come downstairs she shoved Antonio into a supply closet making him yelp.
"Imma beat your ass" he muttered before she shut the door.
.
"Morning baby" she hugged Collette
"Morning mama" she glanced at the closet feeling her breath hitch
"Have you seen my glasses" Mari asked
Fuck she internally thought. If her mom didn't find her glasses she would call her father who would then remain downstairs for 1 hour before they would leave and before that the cleaners would open the supply closet and reveal Antonio standing there.
"I saw them in your study madam" Rosa the main house help chimed
"Ah thank you Rosa" Mari walked away
"Thank you do much Ms Rosa" Collette hugged her
"Of course mija, I'll help even when you're sneaking a boy" she hugged back walking over to the closet Antonio was in
"Hola" he smiled sheepishly
.
.
Finally Collette had made it out of the house with Antonio still holding her hand as they made their way to the jeep.
"Some double O seven shit" Antonio laughed placing his tattooed arm behind Collette's seat as he reversed the car
"If not for Rosa ion know what would have happened" she laughed again snapping a picture of the spring flowers along the road.
They played a bunch of music on their way, a veiny tattooed hand placed on Collette's thigh that was gripped every time Antonio would laugh.
Love by Keyisha Cole begun to play as Collette leaned forward turning up the volume looking over to Antonio who had a wide grin plastered on his face grabbing his water bottle as a mic as the instrumental played.
Play thee song
"I USED TO THINK THAT I WASNT FINE ENOUGH" Antonio sang in a high pitched girly voice occasionally cracking
"AND I USED TO THINK THAT I WASNT WILD ENOUGHH" Collette giggled seeing Antonio grab the water back
"BUT I WONT WASTE MY TIME TRYNA FIGURE OUT"
"WHY YOU PLAYIN GAMES WHATS THIS ALL BOUT"
"AND I CANT BELIEVE YOU HURTING ME I MET YOUR GIRL WHAT A DIFFERENCE" Antonio pointed at her
"WHAT YOU SEE IN HER YOU AINT SEEN IN ME BUT I GUESS IT WAS ALL JUST MAKE BELIEVE" she looked at him
"OHHHHHH LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE NEVER KNEW WHAT I WAS MISSING EVEN THEN WHEN WE START KISSING I FOU FOU FOU FOUND LOVEEEEEEEEEE" the both sang out slowly pulling into the Starbucks drive thru.
.
"Wellcome to Starbucks what can I get you?" a man's voice chimed on the intercom
"Hi can I get-whatchu want hermosa?" He rubbed her thigh "venti iced matcha with cold foam and a bacon and Gouda sandwich" she smiled going back on the phone cutting the call "so one venti ice matcha with cold foam and 2 bacon and Gouda sandwiches and one grande black coffee" he concluded watching Collette stare at him in disgust before mouthing "black coffee?" To which he nodded
"Alright that will be $27.35"
They drove up to the window
"Who the fuck drinks black coffee with not sugar or creamer?!" She looked at the male
"Me now shush" he put his finger to his lips
The guy at the window handed Antonio the drinks before glancing at Collette checking her out to which Antonio clearly saw
"Morning Ms" he winked at her
"Good morning" she smiled her usual bright smile the man's eyes traveling to her clothed breasts
Antonio was furious.
"Listen Justin" he looked up from his name tag "stop undressing her with your eyes and give us our food so I can pay so you can stay fed kapish" he smiled a fake one of course
"Cash or Card?" He looked away embarrassed
"See that's how you do your job, cash Justino" he smirked taking out the money then driving off.
.
"gOoD mOrNinG, shut the fuck up" Antonio rolled his eyes as Collette was still wheezing at his outburst
"Whatt?" she asked still laughing
"You we're overly friendly" he said his face held an annoyed look
"He said morning so I responded" she kept laughing
"He didn't say hi to me" he retorted and Collette gasped "Are you jealous Antonio?" She laughed seeing him speed up a little.
.
.
"Your destination madam" he said in a posh British accent
"Why thank you kind sir" she smiled as he opened the door for her
"Can I come please?" He pouted Collette scrunched up her face
"Pick me ass bitch, fine but you can't stay long I have a bunch of meetings and work" she chuckled at the way his face lit up
.
.
Antonio sat on a bean bag she had in her office on her kindle reading the book he had started reading while Collette was on a zoom meeting for an upcoming photo shoot. His eyes flew to her face that had a pleasant but fake smile and the way her lips formed a pout when she would jolt down notes on her tablet and how she would occasionally make eye contact with him.
"You look like an iPad kid" she snickered after finally leaving the zoom meeting, sitting next to the male as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder
"I think imma buy one" he looked away from the kindle and into her big brown eyes, her breathe hitched at how close they were and how intense he held her eye contact. Antonio placed his other hand on her cheek slowly tilting his head leaning in and so did Collette until they could feel their breath on each other.
"LETTIE THERE'S A SKIMS-OH MY FUCK!" she covered her mouth watching both Antonio and Collette jolt backwards away from each other as she placed her hands on her hips
"Let me not interrupt y'all" she was about to walk out "Antonio was just-she had an eyelash-was checking my contacts" they both spewed a lie. Tony cleared his throat "I was uh heading out" he waved Collette before shutting the door.
