"Hey tesoro" Angelo said kissing my forehead. ( sweetheart )

"Hey."

"We'll be leaving soon it's getting late and we have to be on the jet in an hour." He said and my parents looked over at us skeptically.

"Jet?" My mom asked.

"Oh yes sorry I forgot to tell you but we are currently staying in Italy for the time being but I have the house in California we'll be moving into soon once it's ready." He tells them but they still look confused and I'm just as confused as them.

Who said I was moving in with him, besides I was planning on going back to New York once I was done with school to be closer to my family.
"What about school. Won't she be behind?" He asks. I sigh.
"My classes are online this semester." I said quickly hoping he would stop talking.
And he did, letting the topic go, but I know my dad he isn't really letting it go.

"Well I hope to see you both again soon." My mom says hugging Angelo.
"You will" he tells her.
I get up sensing that we are about to leave.
"Bye dad I'll se you soon." I said and hugged him. He hugged me tighter and kisses my forehead. "Bye  sweetie I'll see you soon."

"Tell Charlotte I said hi." I told them as we were nearing the door. I wish I could've seen her today, but she's at school.
As we walk down the driveway, I see the driver with the door open for us. Angelo lets me get in first and slides in after me.

"Did you enjoy your time with your family today?" I turned to look at him.
"Would've been better if I could see Charlotte, but she's at school." I told him. Plus the fatigue I've been feeling the last couple of hours dampened my mood.
"You'll see them soon." He told me.

"Also who said I was moving in with you? You already kidnapped me and had me staying in your prison in Italy." I told him. He sighed. He got some nerve.
"I thought you were over that." He said. "Doesn't mean I forgot, I had plans to move back to New York once I graduated." I told him.

"And we will but until then you're staying in California aren't you? That's why you have that apartment I bought you." He told me.
Wait what?

"Andre got me that apartment what do you mean?" I asked him. How much liquor did he drink with my dad?

"No that apartment was courtesy of me. I had him get you that apartment since you were so hellbent on moving out of your dorm." He said.
"Thanks for reminding me of the other lies I've been told throughout that fake relationship." I smiled at him.

"Don't be like that baby. Tell you what, I'll run you a hot bath when we get to the hotel." He told me. I ignored him.

"I need my phone and my laptop, I'm falling behind in school thanks to you." I told him. He put down the partition and said something to the people up front in Italian. The dude in the passenger seat handed him my laptop bag and my phone.

You're telling me he had this shit the whole time and didn't bother giving it to me? Now I have to catch up on the assignments and hope I didn't miss and deadlines.

"Don't be mad I had to make sure you didn't call anyone." He told me. Unbelievable.
It was about a thirty minute drive to the hotel we were staying at let's hope I don't choke him out before we reach our destination.
