Fated To Love You

Chapter 29: It's Like I've Been Stabbed A Thousand Times

Charlotte's POV

"Are you sure you're fine?" He asked me again for the third time tonight. I giggled and looked at Vince. "Positive. Now, could you stop worrying?"

He smiled and gently caressed my cheeks. "I can't help it if it's you."

My smile vanished and my face turned serious. I gently removed his hand from mine. "Vince, you're confusing me..."

He looked surprise and cocked an eyebrow at me. "What do you mean?"

I sighed. I don't really wanna say this but if not now, I don't think I'll have another chance like this. It's now or never. "You're being so kind to me all this time. You're doing what a boyfriend should have done to his girlfriend. We're not dating, I get it... but why do I get the feeling that our feelings mutual, or am I just being delusional?"

Suddenly his lips crashed on mine. Sparks were everywhere, I can feel it. I don't know what got into me but I started kissing him back as eagerly.

Our kiss deepened, his tongue dominating the kiss, but I didn't care. I was too stunned to stop anything. Minutes later he pulled away, I was a bit disappointed but I knew we had to stop or else things would go beyond our control.

"You're right, the feeling is mutual. But before we decide on anything, there is something very important you need to know about your past." He whispered the end and I can see sadness written all over his face.

"You're scaring me, Vince." I whispered back.

He looked at me worriedly. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Don't worry, I know you're not yet ready, I won't rush you into anything."

I nodded and kept my mind busy on other stuff. "Maybe you're right. I need to know."

"Excuse me, sir, but Mr. Kawaosaki would like to have a word with you now."

Someone came and told Vince. He sighed angrily and looked at the person who disturbed us. "Alright, you can go now."

I smiled softly and put my hands on his cheek. "We can talk later.."

"Stay, don't go anywhere, okay? I'll be right back." He said and I nodded. He kissed my forehead one last time before disappearing from my sight.

"You must be Ms Chaste?" A middle-aged man came behind my back. I nodded and extended my hand to the man infront of me in his Armani suit. "Charlotte Chaste, and you are?"

"Sebastian Marchesa, miss." He said and my eyes widened. It's the billionaire himself from Italy.

"Sir, the pleasure to meet you."

"I heard that you're the one who designed this bar?" He asked and I nodded happily. He smiled and nodded his head. "This place is meravigliosa!"

I grinned. "Grazie, signore!"

"I am opening a hotel here in New York, and I would like to hire you, what do you think?" He asked and my eyes widened. "Certamente, signore!" I beamed.

"Avrò il mio assistente si chiama, va bene?" He said and I was going to reply but someone interrupted us.

"Mr Marchesa, it's so nice to finally meet you in person!"

The one I'm hoping not to see, but now is standing in front of me, is none other than Kate. I can see that Sebastian seemed to got annoyed too by her interruption.

"If you don't mind, Mr Marchesa, but I would like to borrow Charlotte for a moment, esso è molto importante."

"Ovviamente, signora." He smiled and then he turned to me curtly. "Charlotte, I will just call you."
