Layers of Insecurities

Chapter 13

Walking hand in hand Dante and I exited the ball, he offer to drive me home on the way there, a thought came to me and so i ask " What happen with your fiancé ?" Dante look at me with a smile and said " i broke off our engagement and went to find you" i nodded 

"But when i tried to find you at school you weren't there, i could search for you but i was battling a battle on my own, my father no longer capable of running his company i had to step in and do it. thats why i have been gone for so long, i tried my hardest to bring it back up and i did succeed but i lost you on the way up top. " he said with a grim look, as he continued a small smile played on his lips " and when my parents told me that they were setting me up with a girl again, i lashed out and screamed at them. but love..." my stomach was filled with tornados, i miss it when we calls me that " am i glad that i was here tonight, because i've never would've thought i would see you sitting on that chair" he shook his heads as he said that. 

a smile played on my lips as i remember the old times where i used to be so scared, scared of being myself for being happy and so i let out a sigh which gain his attention "whats wrong love?" 

"nothing, i was just thinking of how of an embarrassment i was when i was in high school.  so stupid and naive" i said looking down at my hand. 

"stop calling yourself that" he took my hand in his and held it up to his lips and gave it a light kiss. " let me tell you, back when you were in high school i thought that you were the most strongest girl i know having to face that all alone and being to be where you are today, love you are a remarkable women and i love you for it" at this rate my heart is going to explode and so i squeezed his hands tighter. 

the rest of the car ride were full of small talks and turns out the jackass of a company that have been stealing all my deals is Dante's i might have to bite his head for that. 

when we arrived at my place Dante ask me on a date for tomorrow to which with much dilemma of course i say no i am just kidding of course i said yes! and might i add i squeal like a freaking teenager with a high school crush. Dante walk me out not before giving me a quick kiss on my forehead and wishing me goodnight. 

as soon as i walked into my house the lights flick on, and i was bombarded with questions "where did you go?" 

"did he do anything to you?" my dad ask "if he does anything bad to you i swear i am gonna beat him up" my brother chimes in

" okay stop!" i raised my hands up, " sit down and i will tell you everything" and obediently they sat down and waited i took a deep breathe and mentally prepare myself, here goes nothing.
