I rock Emilio back and forth trying to get him to fall asleep for Tate.
"Where my little bestie?" Aria questions As she takes a seat in front of me.
"Maya's at a friend's house. She said following me was boring so I let her choose where she wanted to go." Tate picks up her cup of tea and takes a large sip.
I hum.
Aria and Tate look at each other strangely and I sigh. "What now?"
Aria grins. "You and Antonio? What's up with that?"
I act like I don't understand what they mean. "Pardon?"
"Don't try that with me, Em." Tate folds her arms and I close my eyes in defeat.
"Fine. He took me out on a date two days ago and it was so nice. He was so sweet and thoughtful but it's all fake. Right? I mean I still have someone stalking me and it needs to look like we're dating in the media so it doesn't cause unnecessary attention to your family. You know, scandals and shit. Especially how he works under my father."
Aria sighs. "Oh, sweetie. You're so silly sometimes."
I furrow my brows at her and Tate nods.
"You're sleeping with each other again aren't you?" Aria questions.
I open my mouth to ask how the hell she knew that but she shuts me up.
"Emilia, do you really think he'd go out of his way to take you on a beautiful date and make everything perfect if it were fake? If it were he'd definitely tell you. He's straightforward."
I guess she's right but it doesn't feel real.
Why would he even like me?
He hasn't spoken to me since the date. And after...
I woke up in his bed and he was gone. I walked to the living room to find Dean and he told me Antonio was called for an emergency at work and right after he left work he went out with Christian to the warehouses.
I don't even know when he left this morning because I tried to wait up for him last night but I fell asleep and woke up around ten-twenty and he left.
Has even been in relationships before?
I don't remember him ever being in one from the times I saw him in events. But then again I'm not sure. He keeps himself so hidden.
All I want is a message from him.
Tate slowly carries Emilio off of me as he finally drifts to sleep and she puts him in his pram and wraps a light grey blanket over his small body.
Tate folds her arms and gives me a look which I ignore because I'm definitely not telling her that I have a crush on Antonio especially when there's a minty-nine per cent chance that it will never tune into anything.
