Chapter Four

Wednesday arrived, and the ball was slowly getting closer. I didn't have anything planned for today, so I decided that I was going to the warehouse. There were recuits to be trained, shipments to finalize, and I want to be knowledgable of the Russians every move.

After showering and getting dressed, I left the house soon after. Since I didn't get breakfast, I stopped on my way to the warehouse for coffee and a few grilled cheese sandwiches.

It had been two hours now that I was at the warehouse, I finalized five shipments, the recuits were in the shooting range, and the Russians were being sloppy as always. They were leaving important information everywhere they went.

My thoughts were cut off when someone barged into my office.

"Sofia!"

Of course, it had to be the one and only Diego Garcia.

"Diego, stop being so loud." I say.

"Sorry," He says, "But you wouldn't believe what happened."

"What?" I ask, giving Diego my full attention. God knows if I didn't, he would throw a trantum.

"Valentino kissed me, AND he asked me on a date!" Diego tells me. I could visibly see his shaking with excitement and joy.

"Really!" I squiled happily. I am happy for Diego, he deserved the world, and I know Valentino will treat him well

After Diego gave me every detail about everything that happened between him and Valentino, he left me to finish my work. We even called Mia, so she wouldn't miss out on the 'best thing that happened' to Diego since he stayed awake for an entire Marvel movie marathon (Diego's words, not mine). Diego also told us that Valentino would be his date to the ball on Saturday. I wasn't informed that we could have a date.

I knew I would be at the warehouse for a few hours, so I brought a few snacks. Someone knocking on my office door inturpted 'my eating cheetos' time.

"Come in." I say with a mouth filled of cheetos. The door opened, and Vincenzo came into view. He is so fricking handsome.

"Ciao, bella." Vincenzo greets. [Hello, beautiful].

A bright smile takes over my face, "Hey," I say, "What are you doing here?"

"I had a meeting with your father." Vincenzo answers me.

I nod my head, taking in Vincenzo's features. I bit my lip as I watched him walk over to the chair I had in front of my desk and take a seat.

"Come here." Vincenzo days in a deep voice. I did as he said, getting up from where I sat, walking over to him.

Vincenzo grabbed my wrist, pulling me onto his lap. I shifted on his lap until I was comfortable.

"Cazzo, bella." He groans and burys his head in my neck. [Fuck, beautiful]

"Did somethinghappen with the Russians?" I whisper breathlessly.

"Si," Vincenzo replies, "I got informaion that some entered the states." [Yes]

Of coarse they came to America, I'm sure some went to Spain and Italy.

"Sofia?" He whispers in my ear. God, the way he says my name.

"Y-yes." I stutter.

"I want you to be my date to the ball." He says.

My pulse begins to race at his words, was he serious.

"It's fine if you don't want to." Vincenzo rambles.

I touch his face with my hand, turning his head so that he woud be looking at me.

"I want to." I say softly.

A smile spreads across both of our faces, Vincenzo pulls my face towards his and he presses a kiss on my forehead.

"You're cute." I blurt out.

Vincenzo just chuckles a my words.

"I must go now, mia bella." He tells me. [My beautiful].

"Okay." I say getting off his lap so he could stand up.

I really like this man.

Vincenzo holds my face in his hands, doing something I wanted to do since I met him. He leaned down, giving me a single peck on my lip.

"I'll see you soon." He says and walks out the door.

Did he just kiss me? I was just a peck but still.

I sat in my chair, touching my lip. He kissed me.

VINCENZO MORETTI'S POV

I kissed her. I had to control myself from going further. From fucking her on her desk. Everytime I'm around Sofia I need to have self contol.
