A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 89
William’s p.o.vI placed my phone on the kitchen island and walked to the room to pick out a pair of black sneakers and a silk shirt to go with the jeans I was wearing.“Get dressed, you have ten minutes,” I say, glancing at Bailey who was sprawled on the bed like a wounded octopus with her phone in hand.She acts so inappropriately.“What? Where are we going? And w-” She asks but I cut her off slamming the door abruptly. I put on my shirt, buttoned it up, and slid into my sneakers before making my way to the kitchen.I brought out the wine bottle again, pouring myself a generous glass. I needed more of this if I was going to survive these coming days. I downed the contents at a go, I returned the wine to its place and I picked up my phone from the kitchen island, returning to the living area.“Where are we going?” Bailey asks, walking out of the room and putting her phone in the small bag she held. I glanced at her outfit, from the sneakers on her feet to the denim buttoned skirt and

William’s p.o.vShe stops on the spot and whirls around facing me. “You’ve been here for almost three hours and you haven’t done anything fun, who goes to a carnival and acts like a bodyguard?” She asked, narrowing her eyes at me in a feeble attempt to intimidate me but it wasn’t having the desired effect on me. I didn’t answer her and just stared at her, she couldn’t see my eyes since I was still putting on my dark shade.“Argh, how old are you again? Fifty?” She asks and I scowl at her. “Learn to have some fun and loosen up. I strongly doubt you know how to have one, did you play as a child?” She asks rubbing her chin and analyzing me “I know how to have fun, I just choose not to waste my time on meaningless activities.”“Meaningless activities?” She gasped and I rolled my eyes at her. “You certainly don't know how to have fun if you think the carnival is filled with meaningless activities.”“Because it is, give me one meaningful activity that is done here?” She looked down in tho

Bailey’s p.o.v.After we watched the fireworks show, we got in the car and drove back to the hotel. We got back late due to the traffic around the carnival area since everyone was leaving at the same time. I ended up slightly dozing off in the car since the ride was double the time we took getting there and William didn’t hide his displeasure with the traffic. When we got back to the hotel, we slept off without wasting any time with how we had spent our day at the carnival.I yawned as I walked into the bathroom, it was almost noon and I had just woken up, William wasn’t in the room so I assumed he was awake and maybe in the living room or out. I walked to the sink to brush my teeth first before turning on the shower and stepping under the shower head, letting the water cascade down. I grabbed the soap and my sponge and scrubbed my skin clean.After showering, I walked out of the bathroom with the hotel white towel around me, I searched through my bag for what to wear, and I settled f

“Where are we going?” He asks looking down at me as we walk out of the hotel.“You’ll see when we get there. Stop asking.” I say grinning at him and he responds with a glare.“I didn’t know you could speak Italian, I was surprised yesterday when you conversed with the front desk lady. How did you learn?” I ask.“Do you even know me at all?” He asks“Is that a trick question?” I ask but he blankly stares at me. “I don't know anything about you.”“I’m Italian, idiota. What culture did you think my last name represented?” he said, his voice filled with curiosity and amusement. “I’m not going to answer that and I’m not an idiot either, how was I supposed to know that, it’s not like we are friends or anything,” I say, folding my arms as we continue walking to my destination.After a few minutes of walking, we finally arrived at the buzzing market. I glanced up at William in an attempt to read his thoughts from his expression but I couldn’t decipher it. It was a street of vendors, selling
A PACT TO LOVE CHAPTER 93
The past two days have been delightful and I intend to make today my last two days in Rome fun too. I kissed my pink teddy which I’ve still not named on the head and marched out of the bedroom to meet William in the living room. He was lounging on the chair with his phone in hand as usual and a glass of wine on the center table.“Do you have plans for today?” I inquired, taking a seat across from him.“I don’t see how that's any of your business.”“That’s a classic William response, you know, whenever you say that, I don’t even take it personally anymore, I know you’re being defensive rather than being mean. I said locking straight at him. “Anyways, just answer the question.”“Well, aren't you a know-it-all? And if you must know, I have plans.”“I know that’s not true, you’re free both today and tomorrow.”“If you knew, why did you bother asking?” He asks, glancing at me.“To make a conversation and begin my proposal.”“Let me stop you right there. No!”“You haven’t even heard what I

As we walked out of the elevator into the lobby, we passed by the staff who stopped to greet him as usual, he merely nodded. We made our way to the car that was parked up front. William walked over to the driver’s seat while I opened the door to the back passenger seat, I placed the basket down and secured my seatbelt, glancing out of the window. After a few seconds, I noticed the car wasn’t even in motion. I turned confused, to ask what happened. I locked eyes with William who was already looking at me through the rearview mirror.“What? Why aren’t you driving? Is there an engine failure?” I ask worriedly. Argh! This can’t be happening right now, what is wrong with this man? Didn't he agree to come with me? Lord knows what he is scheming.“What are you doing? Do I look like your driver?” he inquired still maintaining eye contact with me.“I’m sorry, what?” I ask, confused. “Was that a trick question?” I asked as I realized what he was implying, I rolled my eyes unbuckling my seatbel

“Please, can you stop the car?” I ask turning to him and putting my hands together in front of me in a prayer-like manner.“Are you crazy? Why?” he asks glancing at me before turning back to the road“That’s the Trevi fountain?” I point at the fountain that was ahead.“And?”“Ahh!” I playfully gasped. “I am going to overlook the fact that you just said that.”“Good then also overlook the fact that I’m not stopping this car.”“Please, I have to toss a coin. It's for good luck and it's basically tradition.” I say fluttering my eyes at him in an attempt to break his resolve but he remains unbothered and doesn't even glance at me.“You’re making me deeply regret agreeing to this sour tour.” He says as slightly massages the side of his head with his left hand that wasn’t on the steering wheel.“Sorry,” I say sheepishly, still keeping my stance. “I promise I won’t waste time at all, I’ll be back before you know it” He rolled his eyes at me and the car came to an abrupt stop. I took that as

We found a parking spot and I picked up the basket shutting the car door.“This is your great place? The crowded beach?” William asks.“Yup, and compared to the one in Miami, it’s not that crowded,” I state, walking with the basket in hand. A few people were on the beach, some playing while others were lying down enjoying the sunny serenity that the beach brought. I led us closer to the water before taking my seat on the dry sand. I turned to William who was still standing looking down at me.“You can’t be serious.”“What?” I ask craning my head to look up at him.“You did make me drive all the way just to sit and eat on the sand, that is so unsanitary.”“Common, don’t be such a princess, sit down,” I say, patting the spot beside me.“No, heaven knows the kinds of atrocities done on that sand.”“Atrocities really? Didn't you ever play with sand while growing up, in the playground or even at the beach?”“No.”“What! You’re joking.” I say biting my lips to stop myself from laughing. “Pl
