Xaden's Pov

I had enough with her rejecting me, I was doing wrong by asking her and not fucking demanding her to go on a date with me. I called and I already made a reservation in a luxury restaurant but of course I closed down the restaurant, she was going to freak out but it's fine. I can't let people see us together when we are already in danger, I would prefer to close down the restaurants than be in danger.

I have already sent her a package of things that I wanted her to wear, I also sent two girls to help her get ready. I know she knew how to do everything by herself but I wanted her to get treated like a queen. I got a notification saying that the package was delivered to her house. I already knew that convincing her would be hard but that doesn't mean I was not going to try and take her out just because she had a different personality than most girls. I poured myself a class of whiskey and then my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller ID and I answered.

"Hello, love." I answered, Scarlet was calling. I already knew what she was going to say.

"What is this package, Xaden? And why the fuck is there two girl trying to touch me? And the funny thing is they told me they are here on your order. I didn't know you were into those kinds of things, Xaden, I thought you don't like sharing, babe." She sounded pissed, and I left a soundfull chuckle, this was amusing.

"It's a dress and lingerie, tesoro. The girls are there to help you get ready for our date tonight." I answered her back. I heard her signing, I guess she was trying to stay calm?

"Xaden, I never agreed to go on a date with your ass." She said it to me, then I heard her say to the girls, "Stop fucking touching everything, for fucks sake. I hate it when people touch my stuff without my fucking permission. Leave!" Now she was yelling at the girls.

I heard one of the girls say "We are not touching without permission, Ms. Bertelli. Don gave us permission." When I heard that they called her by my last name, I started laughing so much because I already knew what Scarlet was going to answer.

"My fucking name is Scarlet Bruni, not Bertelli for fucks sake. Leave, get the fuck out of my house before I shoot you both." She was yelling at them, this was too amusing to me. Few minutes later I heard the girls yelling and pleading for Scarlet to not kick them out because they were scared they would be in trouble with me. But Scarlet already kicked them out.

Scarlet was now talking with me "I will get ready for fucks sake. Next time there is no need for girls to help me get dressed, I know how to dress myself."

"Oh? So there is a next time, mia cara." I told her, smirking. She was going to be the death of me. I know she was getting pissed by the way she was breathing.

"That depends on today's date. I might not even like your personality." She said and I can already picture her face when she said that. I chuckled at that and I said "Sure, amore. Get ready I will pick you up at 8:00pm." She just said fine and hung up the call.

I sent her a burgundy dress with a sharp V-line neck and there was a slit on the side of the leg, I also got her a black heel matching with the dress. I knew she likes black and red that's why I wanted to mix both of the colors together, plus I don't think she would've liked white with burgundy.

And for her lingerie fucking hell, I got her a black lingerie that covered nothing in particular but that was the whole point. I cannot wait to see her in those clothes and fuck her in them. Just thinking about her dressing up for me made my pants one size smaller.
