Matteo:It's been 10 minutes since I arrived, and there are no signs of this lady. I know her face, though,at least Liam showed me a picture of her. Surprisingly, she is actually the lady that I splashed water on the other day.
I was pulled up of my thoughts when I lifted up my head and saw her entered the restaurant nicely dressed. I then stood up from my seat and made a sign that she was meeting me.
After I called her,she came towards me and sat on the table,smiling. She's nice, though.
"Are you Matteo?" She asked nicely, and I nodded before speaking up again. "Matteo Rodriguez, and you?" I asked, and she lifted her eyebrows after hearing my surname. I don't know what she was expecting, but yes. She is sitting with 'the Matteo Rodriguez.'
"Aqyilla Holmes." She answered nicely before I cleared my throat, nodding after she told me her name. "I guess you already know why we are meeting up,right?" I asked, but Aqyilla shaked her head. How can she not know why we are meeting here. What if I was a kidnapper?
"My friend actually didn't tell me why we are meeting here. All she told me was that her boyfriend told her you needed help with something, which could also benefit me." She said honestly. She also looked nervous. But I realized one thing about her. She looks beautiful. Her hair is long and shiny. Her eye color suits her,like God made it special, and lastly, her skin. It is so smooth,I don't know which products she's using,but it really is good for her skin.
I heard her clear her throat,that's when I realized I've been staring at her. "Shit... sorry. Since you don't know why we are meeting, I'll tell you." I said as she took a sip of her water.
Gosh! We still need to order food. Maybe this pretty lady thinks I'm rude or stingy. "Shit! We still need to order." I said, and she chuckled lightly. "There's actually no need to, I'm still full." She said, rubbing her stomach.
"That's rubbish. We will order." I said jokingly, and Aqyilla smiled before I called the waitress.
"How can I help you?" The waitress asked,looking at me as she tried to unbutton her shirt's button. "Uhm...what would you like?" I asked Aqyilla, as her eyes roamed around the menu,and the waitress's eyes still on me.
"Everything actually looks delicious, but it's expensive." She said, sighing. "Order anything you like,I'll pay." I said nonchalantly,as I checked what to order. "Okay. I'm not used to the food here,I'll just eat what you'll be eating." She said shyly. She is literally being so honest right now. She's not trying to be fancy or not her.
"Okay." I said smiling and told the waitress what we'd order, and she left,winking at me.
"So... back to the reason why we are meeting." I said softly as she nervously bitted her nails. "You actually don't have to be nervous." I said as I chuckled and looked at her nervous state.
"I'm actually like this when I meet strangers." She said, and I nodded. "So the reason -..." I couldn't finish my sentence because the waitress came with our plates. She then placed the mouthwatering food on the table and tried to shake her ass before she got away. But sadly, I ignored her. If Aqyilla wasn't with me. I would've given her attention.
"This looks delicious." Aqyilla said, and I agreed. "Before we get distributed again, could you please tell me why we are meeting?" She added.
"Uhm...I actually need you to be my girlfriend." I said, and she widened her eyes,but I rephrased my words,so she couldn't think something else. "Not my real girlfriend. You'll be my fake girlfriend for 6 months, and we'll get married for a year,okay?" I said, but all I saw on her face was a dumbfounded Aqyilla. "I'll pay you every month." I added, and I heard her sigh.
"But I actually need to hear the full reason why you want us to get married. I can't just marry you,yes I know you will pay me,but no. You need to explain why you want to marry me." She said,and I chuckled before explaining the reason or reasons why I want a contract wife.
"How much are we talking about?" She asked. "A million every month." I said, and her eyes widened. "No! I can't accept that. It's a lot,and it will surely affect your pocket." She said, and I smiled before assuring her it was no problem. "But even though we are in a fake relationship or marriage, whatever you call it. There are rules you need to follow." I said cruelly, and she started to look nervous again.
"Rule 1; Don't tell your friends and family about this,it's our secret. Rule 2; Don't get in any kind of relationship with any man,otherwise, I'll destroy your life. Rule 3; When you see a girl at my house, ignore her. We are in a fake relationship anyway. Rule 4; You'll have to stay at my house for a year. This means that if you are going somewhere,you'll need to tell me or the security guards." I said, and I saw a disappointed look on her face.
"But,why..." She couldn't finish her sentence, I cut her off. "There are no buts and ifs here. If you don't want to sign the contract, it's easy. I'll just have to find another girl to do it for me." I said, and she nodded before slowly eating her food. She looked like she had lost her appetite, too. "You gonna start staying at my house tomorrow, so I suggest that you pack your things today. But you actually don't have to pack everything thing you have. I'll buy you new clothing." I said, breaking the silence that was between us.
I then heard Aqyilla sigh. "I guess I'll have to go now." She said, and I put my plate aside. "Okay,don't worry about taxis, I'll drop you off myself." I said, and she nodded. I called the waitress after realizing we were done. After I paid we went to my car at the parking lot.
"Get in." I said to Aqyilla as I noticed she was standing there,out of her thoughts. She got inside the car,and in no time, we drove off. I asked her house address and she gave me,but I knew one thing about the area she lives in. It's dangerous. There's always a crime that's happening there,which isn't safe at all. "We arrived!" I announced, and she raised her eyebrows. It looks like she had fallen asleep.
"Thank you very much." She said, and I spoke up again. "My driver will come and fetch you around 6 pm tomorrow. So I suggest that you get ready early tomorrow, and say goodbye to your friends. You might see them next year." I said and saw a disappointed look on her pretty face. What am I even saying? Am I not supposed to be cruel?
"Okay. Bye." She said and entered her little apartment.
After I saw her close her doors,I felt relieved and drove back to my house. But there's something I noticed when I'm with her. I've never been nice to any other girl who's not my family. I feel something in my heart and stomach that tells me to be soft when I'm with her. I also feel like it's a coincidence that I met her again after I splashed her with water.
My mind drifted back to my driving when I saw that I've already arrived at my mansion.
