The Italian's Baby

Chapter 4- SAMPLE

           

Lilianna woke up to her phone ringing and she picked it up before it could ring any longer and wake up Lia.

"Hello." She groaned out, sleep still in her.

"Good morning, Lilianna its Anna!  I'm sorry to disturb you, but a customer has made a large request of books and frankly we don't have of that collection and even if we did." The manger for Aria said,

"Ok, umm. I'm on my way, just give me half an hour." She said, getting out of bed and walked to the bathroom.

"Ok, I'll try to help the customer the best I can." Annie said,

Lilianna hung up and brushed her teeth.

Afterwards, she made sure to shower was cold to wake herself up.

Once she was done, she dried herself and quickly pulled on her underwear.

She pulled on a peach skirt, a cream shirt that had rows of fabric on it, a matching peach suit jacket, and ballerina shoes.

She quickly brushed her curls leaving a piece on either side and behind. She applied on pale pink lipstick and black mascara.

She checked Lia's diaper bag to make sure everything was in it. She debated on waking Lia up or letting her sleep and she chose to let her sleep.

Lilianna slowly picked Lia up and sat her in the carrier.

She draped a blanket over Lia's small body and walked out the room with her diaper bag on her shoulder with her purse.

Lilianna didn't stop for breakfast, deciding to just drink coffee at the cafe.

She locked the front door and made her way to the car.

Once they were both buckled up, Lilianna backed out her driveway and drove a bit above the speed limit to work.

She didn't rush too much once she parked in her spot and got out the car with Lia and our stuff.

Anna was at the door and she helped her with the diaper bag and holding the door open for Lilianna.

"Good morning, Anna." Lilianna said and breathed in the strong smell of brewing coffee.

"Good morning Ms. Guzman. The customer is waiting in your office if you don't mind." Annie said,

"Ok, thank you. Umm, do you mind watching Lia for me, I didn't get a chance to dress her since she was sleeping and I didn't want to wake her." Lilianna asked and Annie happily took her.

Lilianna walked to her office and opened the door to see a male figure standing by her window that overviewed some buildings and city streets.

"Good morning sir. How may I assist you this morning?" Lilianna asked, closing her office door.

Lilianna's breath caught in her throat when the man turned around.

His intense emerald green eyes met hers. Strands of slick black hair fell in front of his eyes. His figure was tall, he could easily tower over me. Lilianna could clearly see packs of muscle underneath his navy blue suit. If she looked closely, she could see the start of a tattoo at the collar of his shirt.

"Good morning, you must be the owner. My name is Nicoli Montez." He said and she heard specks of Italian in his deep voice.

"Yes." Lilianna replied and walked over to her desk all while feeling his hard eyes on her.

She gestured for him to sit down and he did.

"So what book did you want to order?" She asked, resting her hands on top of the desk and leaned in.
