Raw Love Vol. I

Part 16

Klarissa's POV

A soft kiss on my cheek woke me from my sleep. 

"You have to get up and start getting ready for the gala." Lorenzo told me as he put a strand of hair behind my ear.

"What time is it?" I asked as I sat up.

"It's noon." he said with an amused expression on his face.

"I'm not sure if I'm going to go, I don't have anything to wear." I said with a disappointed look.

"I got you one last night." he said as he started to walk towards his closet. When he returned he was holding up a hanger with a protective bag over it.

"Let me see it." I said while grinning. I cant't believe he got me a dress!

When I unzipped the bag it revealed a beautiful champagne colored lace dress. It was short with a v-shaped neckline.

"Do you like it." he asked while flashing his dimples.

"I love it." I said as I looked up at him. I then placed the dress carefully on the bed and went over to hug him.

His arms went down to my waist and securely held me in his arms.

"I've been thinking, and I think you should move your things in here." he said while holding me tighter.

My breath hitched at his words.

"Are you asking me to move in here with you?" I asked him slowly.

"Yeah, only if you want to." he said nervously.

"Of course I want to!" I told him as leaned up and kissed his cheek. He looked down at me and smiled.

I really wish he would smile more, he's always so serious.

"But what does that make us?" I asked him. 

"What do you mean, like our relationship?" he asked back with confusion.

"Yeah." I said quietly. I started to get the feeling that he didn't want any type of formal relationship.

"I don't know, I usually don't do labels." he said while releasing me from his hold. 

"Oh, I just thought-" I started to say. I felt this overwhelming feel of embarrassment wash over me. Why had I thought that he would want to be my boyfriend of something!?

"But if you want to have a label we can. So that makes me what, your boyfriend?" he asked with an amused expression. 

"Y-yeah I guess it does."I said in surprise.

"Boyfriend." he said plainly to himself. By his expression, I could see him playing with the idea in his head. 

"I'll have the maids bring up your stuff, but Gianna is waiting for you." he told me breaking the silence.

"Okay, I'll see you later." I told him as I started to gather a few of my things. Once I had everything, I left the room with my dress.

I quickly walked down the hall and into Gianna's bedroom. I opened the door and saw Gianna with rollers in her hair.

"You're finally awake!" she said excitedly.

"I can't believe I slept in that long." I told her as I tried to smooth my crazy hair.

"What's that?" she asked while pointing at my dress.

"Lorenzo bought me a dress." I said with a hushed tone.

"He didn't! Let me see!" she said while clapping her hands together.

I unzipped the cover to reveal the dress to her.
