Desi POV

*DING*DING*DING*DONG*

"I'm coming!"

My doorbell is ringing uncontrollably and I already know who it is. I've put on a cute floral two piece outfit and had Lenni do my hair yesterday just to be ready for my man today. I rush down the stairs as fast as I could without falling and breaking an ankle or my neck and I finally make it to the door. I unlock it and swing it open and am met by my sexy Samoan in a sexy v-neck, jeans, and Jordans. I look him up and down, licking my lips, before noticing that he's been staring at me and my face gets hot.

"Oh, am I over dressed? I am, aren't I? I should change. I'm gonna go change, I'll be—"

He grabs my hand and pulls me back to him, crashing our lips together in a needy and passionate kiss. He pulls away, sucking on my bottom lip lightly for a moment.

"Desi, you look absolutely perfect; from your hair to your toes, you're beyond beautiful."
"Thank you." I say shyly as he hands me the bouquet of flowers he's been holding.
"I uh, I got you this. I know how much you love sunflowers and ladybugs so I had this put together for you: Sunflowers because they're your favorite flower and they'll attract butterflies and Angelica and Caraway flowers to attract ladybugs. You can keep them inside if you want but I thought they'd be perfect on your patio table here."

I take the flowers, set them on the kitchen counter, and jump into Joe's arms and shower him in kisses.

"You're so damn sweet, how did I get so lucky?" I say happily.
"Nah baby, I'm lucky to have you. Happy birthday, my love, my beautiful Rainbow Queen."

Still in his arms, I hold his face and kiss his soft lips, loving his taste and touch until he breaks away.

"As much as I'd love to stay here and do this all day, we've got reservations at Versace's house and I need to fit in your present before I have to leave later. Chop chop babygirl, our ride can't wait forever."

I peck his lips again before hoping down, grabbing my white wristlet, and leaving the apartment, locking the door behind me.

The Villa Casa Casuarina

1:45 PM

Because Joe is clearly a big deal to someone in the world, he and I were sitting at a table he had set up and curtained off in a secluded alcove in the restaurant. I've lived in Florida since college and I've lived in Miami Beach since graduating and I've never once came to eat at Gianni's in Versace's house. Like, I've probably saved up the money but I'm still lil ol' frugal Desi making a dollar stretch as far as she can now for when she needs the fat stacks for a rainy day in the future; that's the only Desi I know how to be but now I'm Desi, the girlfriend of a super rich and influential businessman...though I have my reservations about what type of business he's in. He pours me a glass of one of their delicious and expensive red wines and feeds me one of the chocolate covered strawberries that he's had specially ordered for us.
