I'm going out with Lorenzo tonight and Oh my god to say I'm nervous is an understatement. I don't know why considering we've already fucked but the concept of a date made me realise I have absolutely no idea who he is. I haven't ever actually spoken to him or gotten to know him. But I guess tonight would be the perfect time to do that. It was currently 6pm and I just got out of the shower. I had no idea what to wear until I noticed a red box on my bed. I opened it seeing a beautiful black dress. I went to the mirror putting it on before realising it had a zip on the back. I tried to zip it up myself but couldn't reach it. I groan walking towards my door and open it enough so only my head is sticking out. I see Leo walking past and quickly stop him.

"Leo can you get alia for me?" I ask and he stops walking.

"Alia's gone out. What's wrong?" He asks and I bite my bottom lip contemplating whether to ask him. It's just a zipper right?

"I need help zipping up my dress." I say and he nervously walks closer.

"Oh. I'll help." He says his voice is serious but there is a slight awkwardness to it.

I open the door fully and walk into my room. He walks in behind me and we stop in front of my mirror.

"Why are you getting dressed up?" He asks while reaching for my zipper.

"I'm going out with Lorenzo." I say and his hand stops midway through zipping up my dress.

"You're going out with him? Like a date?"

"No it's just dinner." I say quietly and he finishes zipping up my dress.

"Oh." He says and I look at myself in the mirror before turning around to see him.

"How do I look? Do you think he'll like it?" I ask before realising it's a stupid question since Enzo literally picked out the dress.

"You look beautiful." Leo says his eyes sweeping over me so fast I almost didn't notice. He meets my eyes once again and before I can say anything he walks out closing my door behind him.

That was weird. I ignore it going to do my makeup and put on jewellery. I have to admit when it comes to makeup and jewellery Alia had an amazing pick. I do my regular makeup before deciding on a red lip.I assess all the jewellery before picking a simple gold necklace and earrings. I put on a few rings and then moved on to my hair. I decide to do loose curls.

It's around 7:50pm by the time I'm done with my hair. I quickly walk to my closet choosing a pair of black heels that go perfectly with the dress.

I then head downstairs seeing Alia in the kitchen. She looks me up and down before smirking.

"Damn you look hot. Big plans tonight?" She says suggestively and I let out an awkward laugh. Right, he's her brother I forgot.

"Uhh kinda of. I have a date...with your brother." I mumble the last part and her eyes widen.

"OMG WHAT MY BROTHER?LIKE THE MAN WHO KIDNAPPED YOU?? YOU GUYS ARE A THING? WHO ELSE KNOWS??" she screams and my ears are ringing .

"Alia calm down we're not a thing it's one date and no one else knows just Kai." I say and she sighs dramatically looking offended.

"You told Kai before you told me?" She says dramatically and I laugh at her .

"I didn't tell him he just found out." I say

"Fine I understand." She huffs. "Let me know how the date goes- actually wait no that's my brother so don't." She puts on a disgusted expression and waves before walking out.

I laugh at her but it's cut short when I hear Lorenzo's voice behind me. "Fuck you look incredible." He says and I turn around before my eyes glue to his own. He's wearing a black shirts with black pants. The first two button of his shirt are undone and oh my god I could faint right now. "You don't look so bad yourself." I say walking towards him but his eyes never leave my face . As if he's examining me.

"Are you ready darling?" He asks and I nod. Instead of the main exit he leads me to another door. He opens it switching on the light and my jaw drops. It's a garage and has car lined up throughout the entire room. Luxury cars . I don't get a chance to pick my jaw off the floor before he speaks again.

"Pick a car." He says and my jaw drops further if that's possible. He laughs and I regain my composure. I look at him and he nods. I let out a short squeal before looking around the room. My eyes land on a white Porsche Panamera and my brain sparks with interest. I can only imagine what that car can do. I smile turning to him and pointing at it.

"That one." I say and he smiles back at me. "Good choice." He says leading me to the car.

We get in driving to the restaurant. The drive is quick and when we reach the restaurant my eyes widen. Woah this is fancy. We enter and Lorenzo doesn't say anything but shoots a look at the employee working the front desk. His eyes widen and he greets us . "Mr Armini enjoy your evening." He says with a huge smile and Lorenzo nods before walking past him into the restaurant.

I'm shocked when I see the entire restaurant empty. "I booked the place out for us." He says clearing my confusion.

"They let you do that?" I ask and he offers me a small smile.

"Darling I own it." He says like it's normal.

He pulls out my chair and I take a seat. He sits opposite me as I try to process his words. I try to say something but only manage to let out a little 'oh' before we fall into a heavy silence again.

He doesn't seem to mind the silence instead he just stares at me studying every part of my face as if trying to memorise it. "Do you like this life? Your job I mean." I finally ask breaking the silence. This question has been on my mind for a while.

"It's not a job I chose to do, but yes darling , I love my job." He says and I feel more comfortable to continue the conversation since I want to know more about him.

"If you could have chosen for yourself what would you have done?" I ask and this time his eyebrows pull together in a thinking expression.

"Honestly nothing I love my job and I've never really thought of doing anything else. From the time I was born I knew this would be my job." He says and I nod .

"Have you travelled a lot?" I ask and he smiles.

"A lot but mostly for work darling"

"Any favourites?" I smile back at him.

"Athens." He finally says. "Nothing is quite like Greece. The beauty is serene, I could go there a hundred times and not get bored." He says focusing back on me.

"What about you darling? Have you travelled?"

"Never." I say and his eyebrows shoot up.

"Well then darling I guess it's up to me to make sure you see everything." He smiles and I try to ignore the fucking zoo that his words just unleashed in my belly.

"Don't feel too bad for me , not travelling meant I got to explore every part of LA." I smile.

"Any favourites?" He asks and I think for a minute.

"There was this library I used to go to as a kid. It started off to just escape home but then It became my home. I fell in love with the books. It was so comforting reading about so many characters with their own stories . It was a whole other life and world . A world where I felt safe. " I say deep in thought and he slides his hand across the table holding mine while waiting for me to continue.

"I think I read everything in that library. I always told myself that when I got older and got my own house and my own family I would get one of those small libraries. A secret one just for me. Obviously that plan didn't work out. " I let out a laugh ignoring the slight pang of sadness in my chest .

Enzo tries to say something but our food arrives I'd told him to order since he probably knew what was best and I was right. Everything looked amazing. There were six dishes in front of me all looking equally delicious and he took his time telling me what everything was. After assessing everything I decided on a shrimp pasta with white wine infused sauce. I put a bit of everything on my fork and took a bite I looked up to see if Enzo was eating but to my surprise he was just staring at me. After I chewed and swallowed my first bite only then did he start eating. He'd done it before but I only really noticed it now.

After dinner we had a few glasses of wine and got to know each other better, or more like I drank half the bottle and Enzo had 2 glasses.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked and I nodded standing up. I felt tipsy but it was just wine so I'd be fine.

He took my hand and I gave him a smile . He returned it and he walked out. It was just a smile but it made my heart do a fucking backflip in my chest. Weird. ______________________________________________________
