The Thief(Complete) (Sample)

IX.

We switched, he got in the driver's seat and drove the rest of the way. He pulled into a parking garage then exits the car to open up the door for me, he guides me to an elevator then pressed the 37th floor as I glanced at him.

"I can't wait for you to see the view of this place, it's really nice!"

"Is this outfit appropriate for this type of venue?" I asked him and he nods his head yes.

"It's perfect, now that there's a bit of light in here, let me have a better look at it on you.."

He held out his left hand in my direction and I placed my hand in his then felt my arm being lifted up in the air. He helps me do a small but steady twirl as his eyes start at my feet and slowly up the rest of my body.

"I don't wear things like this because I feel like it doesn't suit me."

"It does though, may I?" he points at my body and I nodded yes, he then places his hand on my hip and swiftly brings me closer to his body.

"Ohh the elevator interrupts!" I teased and he laughs as the doors open at the 37th floor, we exit the elevator and this place was very well meant for the rich. Very sophisticated feeling as who I assumed was the host, approached us.

"Mr. Bellucci.. Welcome, no Serina?" The man mumbles to him and Theo tilts his head at him while giving him a gritty look.

"What did you just say?" He asked him, I gently pulled my hand away from Theo.

"Nothing sir, my apologies, right this way.."

We were guided towards a oak wooded table with a seating for two by the windows, the table and seating arrangement was beautiful. Theo helps me in first then sits down on the right side of me. The host was a little bit nervous as he stood to the side of the table and Theo grills him with annoyance.

"Bottle of Chardonnay and when you come back we'll be ready to order.."

"Okay, I'm really sorry.." he tried to apologize again and Theo nodded, the host leaves the table and Theo unbuttoned his suite jacket.

"You look upset.." he says to me and I shrug a bit.

"I'm alright, it's fine.. He thought you were bringing her here, I understand that it's your thing with her.. Fancy dinners and things, I'm not used to this.."

"I've never brought her here, he assumed that because in the eyes of the public, we had a very public relationship so he assumed she was my date. Please come closer.."

I scoot closer towards him and he props his arm behind me on the back of the seat so that way I was cuddled up with him. He slides me the menu and I take a look at it as the host comes back with the bottle of wine and two glasses.

"Are you two ready to order?"

Theo reaches for the wine glasses and began to pour wine in one then the other.

"I'd like the Romaine salad, with the harvest vegetable, bacon and bleu boursin. Also the veal tenderloin for my main course.." I replied as Theo scans the menu next and orders his food.

"I'll take the truffle flatbread and the roasted chicken breast." He answered as the host writes everything down then takes the menu, the host nods at Theo then walks away in a hurry as if he wasn't trying to stay on Theo's bad side.

I reach for my glass and he does too, I've become a bit of a wine drinker since being at his sisters house. I took a sip and my favorite was definitely Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

"The view is really beautiful like you said, you can see all of Philly from here.." I looked out the window while taking another sip.

"I've always wanted to bring someone here and experience this with them, I'm happy it's you!"
