Love Behind the Lens Chapter 57
AdiraSebastian called me after dinner. I'd been nervous cleaning the house for hours, only stopping to make a quick sandwich. I was afraid of how Gio was going to react to me dating both Sebastian and Valentine. He'd come to mean so much to me and I didn't want him to be disappointed in me."Hey sweetheart how was the rest of your day?" he asked as I threw myself back on my bed.I sighed but replied "It was good. Kept myself busy cleaned my house, laundry you know that kind of thing. How about yours?""It was alright. I had to switch a few guys around on the schedule to accomadate some things but it's all good. I missed you."I had missed him too. I had missed them both and had spent way too much time inside my head. I told him that I had missed him too and we spent the next 30 minutes talking about our trip to Atlantic City. I was calmer once we'd gotten off the phone and after a shower decided it was time for bed.The next morning I was up early. So early that I had deci

ValentineI was running a few minutes late but I had let my father know that I was on the way. Everyone had crashed at my place after our guys night out so we were all up late. I'd ordered in food and then had to clean up after they'd all left. Before I knew it was already after 4 and I still needed a shower before my drive.He sent me the code to get in and I'd made it there only a few minutes late as it was 5:07 when I drove through the gates. I texted him that I was there and he told me to park next to his car and he'd meet me at the front door. I hadn't brought anything with me and it felt slightly awkward to come over to dinner empty handed but my father had assured me it was perfectly fine.He was standing at the door just like he said and we greeted each other with a hug before he showed me in. "Adira Valentine is here now," my father called out as we walked towards the kitchen. "Ok great. Do you want to eat in the breakfast nook or in the dining room?" I heard her as

GioI smirked as I made both of my children squirm in their seats. I knew when Valentine had asked about going to the model show to apologize to Petra that he would ask her out. She was the flashier version of Adira and I knew that he couldn't resist that combination. I also knew that she couldn't say no. I'd seen the chemistry between them the first time she invited him over to her house and knew if I could get them together that they would be perfect. But at the same time I couldn't force them or they'd both head the opposite way. So when she'd accepted Sebastian's offer I knew I had to be patient. I however was not prepared on how dating both of them would make her feel and when she cried earlier it broke my heart. I just wanted her to be happy. I reassured her that I was fine with it and that she needed to do what made her happy, though I secretly hoped that she would choose Valentine.And after that little display in the kitchen and how they both continued to sneak glan

AdiraIt was harder to be around Valentine as Adira than I thought it would be. I wanted to touch him, to kiss him. Especially after he came up with the idea for a new show. It took me a minute to realize what he was trying to say but it was a brilliant idea. I could see his real enjoyment of my work. Once we had settled on a photo for the charity auction it was time for them to leave. I escorted them to the door and while I was hugging Gio goodbye Valentine asked "Do you happen to know Petra's address? I dropped her off the other night but I don't know which actual apartment was hers."I almost choked in shock but luckily Gio just squeezed me harder before I pulled away. We made eye contact and I could see him communicating in the look - go with what you're comfortable with. I sighed and turned to ask him "why?"He looked down and I could see that he was a little unsure. The great Valentine Rossi! I held back a laugh instead watching him to see what he would say."I wante

AdiraI returned to the office around 10:30, having gotten caught in traffic. After I walked Charlie I went to go speak with Adrian, who I knew was here by the music playing."Ok so you got a lot of explaining to do," Adrian said looking up from his desk as I walked in and ploped down in the chair across from him.I laughed at him and he just raised a brow, a ghost of a smile on his lips."Ok so I have several things. First when I had dinner with Valentine and Gio yesterday Valentine asked for Petra's address. I uh might have let him drive me home the other day but I had him drop me at your building. So when he asked what apartment I didn't think it would be a good idea to give him yours in case he decided to just pop in one day. So I told him she was moving into my apartment until she could find something more permanent," I replied scrunching my face. "Alright that's not too terrible as long as you don't have Sebastian over and then Valentine pops up or vice versa. And I'm gue
Love Behind the Lens Chapter 62
ValentineI had to shake off the feelings I had yesterday from spending time with Adira and my father. It was just that Adira was so easy to be around and excitement and passion that she had was contagious. When she showed us her private collection I was blown away. The work I'd seen from her before had been great but this stuff was just breathtaking. I wasn't sure she was going to give me Petra's address but I was even more glad that she was actually taking over her apartment above the gallery. I knew she'd be safe there and that she'd actually get anything I'd sent her - like the flowers I'd sent over today. I couldn't wait to see Petra and push aside these wierd feelings I was having for Adira. I had messaged Petra earlier asking if she'd like a ride to the resturant but she declined. Not that I wasn't expecting that. She liked her independence and I was actually enjoying it too. The fact that she wasn't always depending on me to provide for her was refreshing.I'd gotte

AdiraI could barely stand when Valentine helped me out of his car in front of the gallery. When I wobbled a little he laughed and pulled me close giving my legs a minute to adjust to holding up my weight. Valentine didn't do anything by half measure that's for sure. I can definately see why woman practically throw themselves at him. There's just something about a dominant man that just irresistable.I cupped his check as he looked down at me and raised up on my tippy toes to bring our lips together. When I pulled back he was smiling and leaning into my hand. "I had the best time tonight," I said smiling back at him. His smile turned into a knowing smirk and I laughed before rolling my eyes at him. "I did too bella and I can't wait to see you Friday. Dinner again but this time at my place," he said.I raised a brow at him before replying. "Really Valentine I'm not sure-."He cut me off. "I've never invited a woman back to my place before. Ever. The only woman whose even st

ValentineI woke with a smile on my face. I had my schedule rearranged so I'd be off early today - at 3- so I plenty of time to get ready. I was actually going to cook tonight - my dad's lasagna recipe. I'd asked Laura to pick up the ingredients for me and when she asked why I'd told her I had a date coming over tonight. Her smile was huge and I laughed when she wiggled her eyebrows at me, telling me she'd make sure I had clean sheets too. I told her to take off early today as well and to enjoy her weekend. She'd been amazing since Id' been living here. One of the few women who I wasn't related to who hadn't made a pass at me. She had been happily married to Fernando for 30 years now and they had 5 kids that they were sending to college. Last summer her middle son had even interned for me. He was a good kid and smart. I gave him a glowing review, which is something I don't do often.I was glad she liked the roses I'd sent. Most women liked flowers but Petra was different
