Her Request

Chapter Nine

Chapter 9

April

Money is numbers and numbers don't end. If your happiness is measured by money, do all it takes to increase the numbers to a point you don't need to work to earn it anymore.

That was what I could only think of as I entered my room in the Mandarin Oriental luxurious hotel.

I'd only seen photos of the 18th Century property online with the girls but I didn't expect it to look so grand in physical.

Traditionally filled with cascaded history.

My room had a floor to ceiling glass view opposite the large bed, heated marble-floored bathroom with tub, and a balcony that revealed the beauty outside especially the famous Milan Cathedral that took nearly six centuries to complete and the Teatro Alla Scala.

I hurriedly dropped my box by the bedside to go check out the other girl's room especially Vanessa's.

Jason booked a suite for both of them and that came with extra additions like a dining, oak paneling, and terrace.

The sightseeing only took three minutes while Jason went to check on the guys because we were all too exhausted from the trip and the six hours time difference made us arrive in Milan at Four in the morning.

I go back to my room, took a hot shower, and slept around Five-fifteen.

The harsh sun ray blasting through the little opening between the double curtains to my face and King Lee's continuous walk on top of me woke me up. I turn on the 140cm Tv mounted on the wall.

As I searched for the right content to watch, the wireless telephone in the room began to ring.

"Hello... Yes I am awake,... You can bring it"

I returned the phone to its cradle.

Apparently there's a complimentary breakfast for all of the groom's entourage. I reached for my box and brought out King's food.

He was happily munching on it in his plate when my breakfast was brought in by room service.

I continued to scroll the channels on TV as I opened the plate of prima colazione and began to eat.

Megan's call came in.

"Hey Megan, ... I'm eating... Ok I'll be down on time"

Megan vowed never to waste a second in exploring the city prior to our arrival and she's lucky to have me riding in that boat too. We'll have a girl time this noon at the spa and salon before meeting the guys in the bistro.

"I saw you in the plane you know" Megan blurted as our massage moment begun.

"Me?" Vanessa asked

"No, not you. She knows herself that's why she's keeping mute."

"Megan!" I warned in a subtle manner

"What did you see Meg?" Vanessa turned her face to Megan's.

"Her mouth was busy in Jordan's" Megan said in a whisper.

"I can hear you!" I said

"Shut up" Vanessa said with her palm over her mouth.

"She grabbed his collar while at it, the poor guy must have been suffocated" Megan tease continued and I was too flushed to reply.

"Megan was probably dreaming"

I wouldn't believe myself too. The declaration was nothing firm.

"Wow what a total upgrade from sean" Vanessa said.

"Speaking of Sean, I invited him over for lunch tomorrow, it's been a while we all gathered and God knows NYC's hustle and bustle makes it hard to gather and chill."

It's already been concluded that the girls want to see me with Sean as a couple even after I'd told them repeatedly that it's a null thinking. There's nothing I can say to change their mind besides, I'll use the opportunity to get a round or two from him.

"I need to warn you though, Jordan Crossfire is the most notorious out of the guys, the tabloid's got nothing good to say about him except his billionaire cock digging fancy cunts"

We all laughed at Vanessa's sudden dirty talk.

It was no news to me. Getting involved with a man like JC is going to be my doom which is why I've made up my mind this instant to stay away from him. So even though I find what Vanessa said funny, it was laced with unfiltered truth, and even though the truth is bitter and against what I want, it is better to hear it, and protecting my emotional self is the major priority for me.

"If I were you, I'd stay clear. He's bad news" Vanessa added.

"For someone like me who likes people with bad news, I wouldn't mind engaging with the types of Jordan's" Megan said and we chuckled in response.

"Hello" the caller said as I approached the end of the show.

"What's your name and where are you calling from?"

"Do you believe in love at first sight?"

I laughed at the sudden familiarity I felt. This must be the same guy from the previous episode with the knack for skipping basic etiquette when pulling a call through to a live show.

"I do believe in Love at first sight" I replied.

"Do you believe in love"

"Yes" I was beginning to find this Caller interesting.

"Are you in love at the moment?"

What I feel for JC is lust so I guess the answer is obvious.

"No, I am not in love"

"If love comes knocking, would you give it a chance?"

No.

"Yes"

"Are you certain?"

"Yes" I lied again.

"That's all I needed to know, good night"

I finished the two hours show around 5 am Italy time to compliment 11 pm in NYC.

I checked on King Lee and found him fast asleep on the center rug.

Feeling certain everyone would have gone to sleep, I didn't bother waking anyone up with calls and just walked down to the indoor pool for a swim but what I didn't expect was to see a vivid image of Jordan shirtless and in the pool with water cascading down his huge chest and down his torso. His sex line was deep as he emerged from the depth.

I was reliving everything and this time it was no dream.

It was in full flesh, body, and soul.

This was the beginning of a war between myself and my libido.

It took me a while to realize he was already staring at me and that the towel I'd used to cover my body had dropped on the floor thus revealed my two-piece bikini.

Reality check, we were both half-naked.
