VERONICA

chapter 10

Veronica.p.o.v

I woke up with my head pounding, I tried sitting up but something weighed me down, I snap my eyes open and  looked down at him. My head was immediately filled with pictures of last night. We finished around two o' clock , fucking with ruggero.

I pushed his hand off without waking him, I climb off the bed picking up his shirt and walked to the nightstand and picked up my phone then walked to the kitchen.

I search through my play list and played just a boy by Olivia o brien i searched through the cupboard for ingredients.

I know this might seem weird but let me tell you this I'm cooking for myself and not for him .

I was to lost in the music swaying my hips to the beat of the song, I placed the pancakes on the plate and poured some honey on them and dropped the pan on the sink I turn and jumped.

"What the - ruggero" I said my heart was beating fast.

"Since when have you been there" I asked

" Enough " he answers and sat on the stool close to my place and leaned forward his elbow planted on the kitchen island , his eyes never leaving mine.

"I made breakfast" I said placing a plate of pancakes with a cup of wine in front of him. I sat on stool next to him and started eating.

"When was the last time you came here" I asked him taking a sip of my wine , I know it's to early to drink but who cares.

"Long enough" he responds , I hate it when he answers that way, I gaze up at him to find him staring at me.

"What " I asked

"You got- " he reached over and rubs his thumbs down to the corner of my mouth . I blinked rapidly as he leaned back onto his chair.

" I'm going to take a shower"  I walked into the bathroom and closet the door behind me and flip the lights on.

The bathroom is huge, A glass shower with gently curved handles, smooth transition. Geometric surface areas, consistently organic , right through to the thermostatic trims and shut- off valves for the shower. A freestanding tub like taking a dip in a lake , a freestanding tub filler with a waterfall. From a shelf. A towel rack resembles a branch, the flower vase a pebble. The base of the mirror a bough. The sink in the shape of a nostalgic wash tub , archetypal in shape with two handles.

I stripped down my clothes and hooped into the shower, after bathing I wrapped a towel around me then walked back to the room then to his closet it was full of expensive suits, shirts , shoes and ties each cupboard contained something like a watches , ties sucks.

"Let's see how this one look" I say as I reach out to grab a black shirt with a heart embroidered , I looked at the mirror and wasn't convinced so I took one of his denim jacket.

I walked down and enter the living room , ruggero was standing there in a suit already his hair still damp , his hands stuffed in this pocket.

" We need to talk " I groan and look a way

"Ok see, what happened yesterday was fun, see... We don't have to pretend as if it meant more it was just sex, no feeling, no strings attached so let's just have fun deal ?" I stretched my hands out waiting for him to stretch it.

"Deal , but I have my rules " he says in a serious tone

"Let me here them Mr pasquarelli" I tuck my hair behind my ear and fold my hands over my chest.

"No over drinking
No dating any one
Never you disrespect me
Always do as told
Never you intrude in my business " he says as he searched my eyes.
