Making Deals: Entangled Love

Chapter 46

Julls POV

Today I had planned to relax but I couldn't. I was anxious the whole day about my date with Antonio.

It's like my own mind is toying with me, 1 minute I am reminded of how horrible he treated me bringing sadness with the memory and the next minute I'm reminded of the tenderness in his eyes when he looks at me making me warm all over again.

I have never really been serious about love now that I think about it. All these feelings I'm feeling are new to me and so raw that it makes it hard for me to breathe but I still clearly state how I feel. Before I got carried away, when a guy liked me and I liked him we took it from there. Never really had to feel anything other than nice and annoyed with a man.

I don't think it's fair on Antonio to be compared with my ex boyfriends, because I mean even the way he touches me, cannot be compared. He takes his time, everywhere he touches he ignites electricity on my body bringing me to life.

Damn it, I got distracted again. Now I'm all bothered damn it.

Anyways what I am trying to say is that I don't know how I feel and this is making me anxious.

I pour myself a glass of whiskey to calm myself and drink.

Right:
Hair done
Makeup done
Nails done
Attire
shoes on......

My eyes travel to the black dress Antonio bought for me, I am going to wear it today. I drink more whiskey

I put it on and look at my reflection in the mirror. Of course I look good

I wonder if Antonio would like.. Won't he think I'm trying too hard?, what if he thinks I'm inappropriate or too much?

Eish no

I drink my whiskey.

I don't understand why everytime Antonio comes up I loose my train of thought and my brain keeps bringing him up, distracting me. Damn it

If Antonio behaves well tonight maybe we will have good sex, plus I have been really pressed since that hot bath he gave me and I very well know how capable he is of giving me pleasure. Lord I'm horny

Damn it why do I keep doing this?

Fuck Antonio for making me like thi-

My train of thought got cut off by the ringing of my phone, surely I was about to construct a string of curses

Caller ID, Antonio. Think of the devil.

"hey" I answer keeping it cool

"hey, are you done?, I am outside" he responded

"I am coming" I say and drop the call

I finish off the whiskey in the glass, take mint sweet, put on cologne and give myself a last look over in the mirror before heading out.

We're riding a limo today, this date is serious. Jeff opened the door for me and I got in the car. Antonio sat inside the car with his jaw dropped and mouth open.

I ignored him and sat comfortably looking ahead. The car moved to destination. He continued to stare with his mouth open, I turned to him and picked up his jaw for him effectively closing his mouth and went back to ignoring him again.

He cleared his throat after a minute, "you look nice" he complimented and I couldn't help but smile sheepishly. What a correct thing to say

"you don't look too bad yourself" I responded after giving him a quick glance

"I don't look too bad, what??" he said dramatically

"if you looked at me for more than a second you would actually know that I look handsome" he said mischievously. It still shocks me that he can be this...

To my surprise I turned to him shocked that he actually just gave himself a compliment and the rascal took the opportunity to kiss me. It was a brief kiss that ended before I had the words

I just stared at him dumbfounded, I mean and then?

"what" he said so nonchalantly like this is the most normal thing we do now but I could see the side of his mouth raise a bit that he is holding a smile back. He was up to no good.

He then pulled out flowers, from where I don't know as I had not really paid attention and handed them to me. Red roses

I smiled happily, I like this Antonio. Now that he gave me flowers I could see clearly that he was right, he is handsome. He wore a casual nevy knitted top with jeans. We are really contradicting each other as I am wearing a black gown for balls and other formal events.

We pulled up at the resort shortly. It's a beautiful place really I stared in wonder

"have you ever been here?" he asked

It was his family resort before the merger and we didn't really visit each other's places, mother would have likely killed me.

I turned to him with a knowing smile and answered "no" at the same time Jeff opened my door and Antonio opened his own and got off the limo and I did as well.

He offered me his arm and I gladly accepted. I am overdressed.

This attracted too much attention to us, people started taking pictures of us and surprisingly Antonio didn't seem to mind it. He hates being photographed but apparently not today.

A journalist asked for a picture just as we entered the building and Antonio agreed and even smiled for the picture. He's really not being himself.

An attendant escorted us to the elevator. That took us to the top deck and the view from there is nothing short of mesmerizing.

To top it all, Antonio had the place reserved for us and decorated like it's valentine's day. Smile

It warmed my heart that he made such an effort for our first date.

Antonio though, he came from behind me touching me inappropriately, annoying me

"Antonio!!" I reprimanded and he lifted his hands up in surrender and apologized but he was not sorry if you asked me

He moved open the sit for me at the only table that's here and I followed and sat down and thanked him.

The attendant brought us champagne and told us our food will be up shortly but we haven't ordered anything.

"can I please have whiskey Jack Daniel instead" I asked quickly before he left and he nodded and Antonio just smiled moving his head from side to side

"I had already told them what to prepare for us, so it doesn't take long" he said

"but what if I don't like what you ordered or I have allergies" I asked smiling at him

"girl, trust me, I am your husband of course I know what you like and you don't have allergies" he said as a matter of fact

"is it?" I asked

"yap" he confirmed

"ohh.. We shall see" I said looking into his eyes as he sat facing me

The way he looked at me told me he's head is filled with more nonsense than normal

"I know a lot more that I don't mind showing you as well" he said grinning

I know for a fact what he meant and couldn't help but feel hot and he touched my thigh for emphasis, this guy

I removed his hand and told him to behave, really what is up with him?

He mocked surrendered again just as the food arrived

We were having prawn salad as a starter God knows how much I love mussels and my stomach growled in agreement

I had neglected to eat during the day fussing over this date so I said a quick prayer and dived right in.
