This week had been the busiest and most hectic week I'd had since I canceled all of my gigs back in September. I was now working again but not only did I have to attend a plethora of meetings and castings, but I was also still planning for Giovanni's birthday. He wasn't the easiest to keep secrets from nor the easiest to distract so I had more than enough happening at once. I didn't mind it though because after being home so much I felt like I had nothing going on. I felt lazy. I needed to be bum-rushed with work.
Not to mention, I'd handled it well. I'd solidified a couple of deals, nailed a few castings, and the night of Giovanni's party was finally here. Since Halloween was around the corner I chose to make his party-themed – a gala. It was an event that would be lively with real food, and allowed people to get fancy. That alone had me excited to see how tonight turned out.
The elevator doors spread apart and I grabbed ahold onto the bottom of my dress and stepped off. My heels clicking against the floor echoed throughout the hallway until I finally reached Giovanni's door. I pounded against the door while also checking my phone for the time. It was nearing seven. Traffic was a little heavy tonight so I hoped that we were able to make it on time.
"Who is it?" Mr. Jonas called from the other side.
"It's me. Korin."
Immediately, the locks began to unlatch until the door was pulled open. He gave me a wide smile and stepped aside. "You look beautiful."
"Thank you. Is your son ready? I have a feeling that he's not and we're going to be late."
"You might be right 'cause I think he just got out of the shower."
"Are you serious!?" I shrieked. I rushed toward the staircase and went up the steps as fast as I could. When I barged into his bedroom he sat on the edge of his bed putting on socks.
"Jesus have mercy." he bit his lip while staring at me.
"Gio why're you just now getting dressed?"
"I was stuck on the toilet longer than I planned. I'll be quick. But you look amazing, baby."
