Love Does Cost A Thing

Book one: Chapter fifty one.

Luigi's POV

Taking my Rolex watch, I strapped it firmly on my wrist and sprayed myself. I checked my reflection in the mirror and saw my hair wasn't combed and hanging in tangles to my neck. I need a haircut soon.

"Tadaaa how do I look?" Zuri emerged from the closet with a bright but shy smile on her face. She looked at me expectantly waiting for my reply. 

How does she look? She looks breathtakingly divine in the grey strapless evening dress she was wearing. Its still a mystery to me how she beautiful slays every outfit. "You look divine cara mia!" 

"Thank you for the compliment Cucci. Can we go now please? I can't wait for the night."

Wait, a minute more and we will be out. " I brushed my lips on hers and walked into the closet. On my side, I opened the drawer where I had kept the present I purchased for Zuri.

I took the small box containing my present and went back to the room. I slide my arms around her waist, walking us to the mirror in the room. "What is it?"

"Shh, you'll see pretty soon." I stood behind her and whispered into her ears. I stared at her face in the mirror waiting to see her reaction as I took the necklace from the jewellery box.

Zuri gasped and stared at the gold necklace that had her name on with wide eyes. She beamed, bubbling with excitement like she couldn't wait to wear it.

Chuckling at her reaction, I put the necklace around her neck. It fitted her perfectly and the surprising part was, it complimented her dress. 

Zuri touched the necklace, turning around. "This so so beautiful."

"I agree but not as beautiful as you babe." I told her truthfully, she's beautiful in so many different ways, not just her facial beauty.

"Thank you so much."

"Don't thank me yet, there's more to come, for now let me add this to it." I hadn't forgotten about the bracelet that came with it, it had our ship name on it, Zulu. I also have my pair but that will be for later. I can't wait to show her the surprise that I have for her tonight.

"Really? When do I see the more?" She asked me in a teasing voice, staring at me with a huge grin on my face. My heart is swelling with both pride and happiness seeing she loves the present.

"Later tonight, when we get back." I purposely said that in a deep voice, I wanted a reaction and I got that. She shivered lightly and bit her lips unconsciously.

"Mnh, so tight lipped as always. Can we get going?"

"Of course, shall we?" I stretched my hand out to her which she gladly took with a bright and warm smile. It was contagious, I smiled too. 

We took the elevator to the garage which was housing my collection of cars that I have here many are from our company.

I rarely use them because I hardly come here lately but they always come in handy like right now, I dislike driving one particular car for a long time. "Which should we settle on a Bentley? Lamborghini or Gianni Mastashi?"

"Gianni Mastashi it is, I've never rode in one even though I work there." She said staring at the car in awe and excitement. I chuckled, she's looking cute. 

Then I'm going to get you one. I said in my head, it was one of the best cars we've ever produced. It's currently competing with Mercedes, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and Buggati on the market. "Can you drive?"

"Yeah why?"

"I want you to drive us." I told her punching in the combination to the safe in the garage that housed all the keys to my fleet of cars, no one knows except Fia and Paris, they've been here a couple of times without me.
