Mafia Protection

7- Peter

Lexi's P.O.V.

I was exhausted and Dad thought an 8:00am meeting was necessary today. Lucas and I were up late last night making love. I enjoyed meeting Lucas' friend's and parents, they were nice and very welcoming. I'm just hoping when the time comes, it's the same way with my parent's.

Our relationship was moving really fast, but I didn't care. We both liked each other, had amazing chemistry and I was falling in love with him. Call me crazy, because that's what it was.

I was currently sitting in my dad's office, talking to him and his team about the plans for the budgeting agenda and state laws he wants to pass.

"This all sounds wonderful and I plan on doing a speech once these things have been worked out, I know many people have questions about them." My father announced "Sweetheart, why don't you and Peter get together and work out those details for me and then show me them in the morning."

"Sounds good, Dad."

I gave him a kiss as I walked out of his office.

"Hey." Peter followed me out of the office.

I turn towards him, "Hey, I'm so sorry about the other week. I wasn't trying to blow you off, just something came up and I couldn't get together with you."

"It's fine, I know you're busy... but I was thinking since we have to talk about your father's stuff anyways, maybe we can do lunch today?"

"Yeah, sure that sounds good. Let's leave around 12pm?

"Perfect, I'll come get you then."

I went into my office and immediately got to work. Time flew by, when I looked at the clock it was almost time for Peter to come get me. I heard my phone go off, it was a text from Lucas...

Lucas- I can't believe how much I miss you already! ❤️

Me- I know, I was thinking the same thing!!

Lucas- Come over tonight?

Me- I think that can be arranged. Xx

Lucas- Pack a bag, you don't need pjs. 😈

Me- Sounds good! I have to go, lunch meeting today. See you soon 😘

There was a knock on my door, "Come in."

Peter poked his head through the door with a big smile on his face, "You ready?"

"Yep." I turned off my computer and grabbed my purse.

"I can drive." Peter said, overly happy.

"Alright, so where are we going? I'm starving so hopefully somewhere good."

"I was thinking, the new Mexican restaurant downtown?"

"Yum, yes please!"

He started laughing, "I figured you'd be okay with that place."

Once we got to the restaurant, The waitress took us to a table by a window. Peter pulled out my chair for me before sitting across the table. "My mouth is watering with anticipation of what I'm about to devour." I half joked.

"I know, I heard great reviews of this place."

The waitress brought over our drinks and we ordered our food. While we waited for our food to arrive we talked about my dad's plans and the upcoming speech. We got a good start on it, I'd write up the plan and give it to my dad for him to review.

Our food came and we started eating, making small talk. During our meal I had noticed a few females staring at him, and why wouldn't they? He's an attractive man, "I think you have a few admirers."
