Chapter 40.

Will he just fuck me already?

I'm dying of being horny, really. It's been a week of 'us' yet there is no sign of sex. He had clearly stated that I would be the one telling him when I'm ready. But how can I? It's just...weird. I mean, I can't just go tell him to fuck me.

I'm not complaining or something. The week went off great. I got my period and had some really bad cramps. Still, it turned out to be the best period as he made me eat tons of my favourite food and cuddled me till I slept.

I stared at him as he cockily walked around the living room, taking to someone over his mobile phone. After disconnecting the call, he came and sat next to me.

"There's a fundraising event this Monday. It takes place every three years."

"Okay..."

"I am supposed to be there."

"Okay..."

"And you'll accompany me."

"What!?"

"You will accompany me as a date."

"As a date? Are you sure? I mean, with being your assistant..."

"I'm very sure. I don't care about what anyone else says."

"Will there be media?" I worriedly asked leaning my head on his shoulder.

"Of course there will be media." He kissed my forehead. "Don't worry. I'll take care."

"I know you will."

"The Parmesan was really heavy. Come, let's take a walk in the garden." He made me get up and we walked outside.

"Woah! It's cold here." I crossed my arms to keep myself warm.

"I have a way to warm ourselves."

Sex!?

He simply brought me close to him and wrapped his arms around my body. Not like I mind. At least these little displays of affection give me a sense of satisfaction.

"So, what is this event about?"

"It's from this organisation that works for orphans. I am a trustee as well. You'll love it."

"Let's hope for th-" I was cut off by the ringing of my mobile phone.

"It's okay. Pick it up."

"It's Cat." I mumbled swiping at the screen.

"Keep it on speaker, I wanna hear too." Rolling my eyes, I did as he said.

"Hey Bella!" Her soft voice greeted from the other side.

"Hi Cat! I called you today, you didn't pick up."

"Yeah...I was working."

"So, how are you? How's pregnancy?"

"Difficult," Her voice lowered. "with the morning sickness and mood swings."

"It must be hard for you. Why don't you come over next weekend?"

"I-I don't think I'll ever come back to New York."

"Why not?"

"You know it."

"Alex." Julian whispered.

"Change all this sad talk. Tell me about your life. Fucked boss daddy or not?"

"Did you just?" Julian pinched my waist making me squeal loudly.

"What are you squealing about?"

"It's ugh...a mosquito!"

"A mosquito named Julian?" He whipered again, nestling his nose in my hair.

"There is nothing to worry about. I told you you would ride him in a few days."

"Cat will you stop!? He's listening!"

"He-what!?"

"Hey Catalina." Julian mumbled.

"What are you two doing together so late?"

"Ugh we- me.." I was at a loss of words.

"You both are fucking!?"

I wish.

"No! We're just dating...for now, that is." I sheepishly said with my cheeks burning.

"I told ya. Oh! My neighbour's at the door. Talk to you later! I love you!"

"Love ya too."

"Come, let's go sleep." Still holding me by my shoulders, he guided me back inside.

"You really don't mind taking your assistant as a date?" I asked as I lied down under the sheets after brushing.

"Not a single percent." He smiled and joined me inside.

"It's warmer here." I laughed stupidly and snuggled deeper.

"Wanna make it warmer?" He pulled me into his inviting arms, interlocking our legs.

"Isn't it weird?" I looked up from his chest.

"What's weird?" He smiled and brushed my hair using his fingers.

"Like, you've been with all these stars all your life...and here I am." I shrugged.

"I'm not gonna lie. Yes, I've been with stars all my life. But trust me Bella, you are the only moon brightening up my life."

"For the thousandth time, I can shop alone!" I shoved the last piece of pancake in my mouth.

"And for the thousandth time, I'm not leaving you alone."

"Don't you have work?" I scoffed.

"Who cares about work when I get to spend time with you?"

"But what's the need for a new dress? I could just wear something formal I have."

"You could, but you won't."

"I give up!" Raising my hands, I got up from my chair, followed by him.

"I knew it!"

He grinned and followed. As I picked my purse to walk out, he grabbed me from behind and turned me around in a circle.

"What are you doing!?" I tried to act cross but instead ended up laughing.

While we laughed and rotated, we didn't take notice of a fifty something woman entering the house with a suitcase, till she coughed. Julian dropped me to my feet instantly. His ears turned a tinted red as he looked down. Wow, this is cute.

"Uhmm...hey Miss. Lily. You're back." He mumbled childishly, shifting his weight from one leg to another.

"Hello, I've never seen you with a girl." She smiled knowingly.

"Yeah, ugh...she's Isabella. Isabella, Miss. Lily, my mother told you about her, right?"

"Oh! hello." I forwarded my hand for a shake. She shook my hand, the smile never leaving her face.

"Wasn't that your assistant's name?" She turned to Julian.

"Yeah...she is the one." He rubbed his neck out of embarrassment.

"What are you blushing about?" She laughed heartily. "I know you two are cute and all, but try not to do these PDAs around me, you know I'm still an old lady." She waved her hand.

"We're going to work. Make yourself comfortable." He held my hand to run away.

When we reached the door, she called him back. I stood there while he walked back to her with his head bent low. I couldn't hear what she said, but only saw him turn a deeper red as he nodded to her and ran back to me and grabbed me by my waist.
