Adriana Jensen~•~Saint was obviously displeased. It was obvious in his expression; the way his jaw clenched and the way he kept fisting and undistinguished his palm.It was amusing to watch, knowing damn well I was the cause of that.“Since you said you wanted more than just my body, it means you like me.” That was a bold comment but he did care about me so I wasn’t far off. “Since we like each other, can we be together?”Saint pretended like he couldn’t hear me.I poked him. “Hmm? What do you say? Let’s date officially.”“Stop distracting me. I’m driving.”“Why? You don’t want me to be your girlfriend?” I asked. “Should I go find someone else to date? I can just tell my family it didn’t work out between us.”Saint finally spared me a glance. “Try it and see, but don’t blame me for what happens after.”“I finally have your attention.” I grinned. Since we wanted to go for dinner, Saint decided we should do something fancy, which led to him buying a dress for me. Well, he gave me his
Saint Giordano~•~I took a deep breath, then another, and another.I could feel the rage in my bones but I had to suppress it so as not to scare her. “Was it the man you were staring at?”She shook her head immediately. “Adriana.”“I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”She was scared because of a stupid creepy man. Fearless Adriana was shaking. I wondered how she would have felt being alone with him if she was still scared now. It made me mad to think that someone who could scare a woman like that was walking freely.“Should I take you home?” I questioned because I knew she was not in the mood to eat anymore. I wasn’t as well. “Go and wait in the car. I’ll pay.”She shook her head. “I’ll go with you.”Nodding, I grabbed her bag and she held onto my arm as we went to get the receipt. After paying, we got into the car, but she didn’t want to let go of me. She was making sure her body was touching mine as though she needed something to remind her I was with her.I was tempted to go b
Saint Giordano ~•~ “Can’t I just spend the week with you?” Adriana pouted. When she woke up this morning, she had shaken off what happened with the man at the restaurant and was back to her normal self. I was happy about that but the man still had to pay the consequences. “You are my biggest distraction.” I pointed out. She couldn’t even refute me because she knew I was right. She was hellbent on distracting me and she was doing it on purpose. “Well, I don’t have to leave so early. It isn’t even evening yet. The weekend is not over.” “You were supposed to spend a day. You stayed for longer than that.” I was supposed to take her home last night but because of how the evening ended, I couldn't refuse when she decided to sleep in my bed. It happened to be a plus for me because I loved holding her while she slept. “But–“ “You’re home already, Adriana.” I chuckled. “All you have to do is leave the car.” With a frown on her face, she looked out the window to her house an
Adriana Jensen~•~I understood why Charlotte booked a private room in a restaurant because the second the waiter led me there, they all started squealing.I couldn’t help but squeal as well. It had only been a month since we saw each other last but it felt like forever. “Omg, Adriana, you look so good.” Charlotte gushed, standing up to strangle me with a hug. “It has been so long since I saw you last. I missed you so much, babe.”“Careful.” I chuckled, hugging her back. “I have a very jealous man.” He also has a very dominating presence. I had visited him in his office and I was able to watch him in action. The conclusion was that… I didn’t want to be on the receiving end of his commanding glare. I felt bad the most for the men who even tried to talk to me. Most of them, especially the oblivious ones, almost lost their jobs.Charlotte pulled back and stared at me. “That is exactly what we’re here to talk to you about.”“Not because you missed me?”“I missed you,” Sofia said but she
Adriana Jensen ~•~ I asked my father when I could return to work but he told me I wasn’t going back. The ruckus had died down and reporters had moved on to something else since they weren’t getting any attention from me or Saint, but my father knew that as soon as word got out that I was back to work, they would come back. I was bored. Sofia was busy with her internship. Chloe couldn’t be reached and by now, Charlotte was tired of hanging out with me because of how often we hung out. I was going to see her again later today though but for now, I was bored. Social media wasn’t as interesting as it used to be and I was just realizing that I didn’t have any hobbies outside of it. I knew Saint was busy but I had gone two weeks without seeing him so I couldn’t stop myself from calling him. We mostly communicated through texts and I missed hearing his voice. “Is something wrong?” He asked as soon as he picked up the call. I huffed. “Hello to you too. Is that any way to greet yo
Adriana Jensen ~•~ Charlotte suggested I post some pictures before turning off my phone and I didn’t hesitate to agree. Pictures were my favorite things to take. She handed me a pair of shades and made me lie down on the sun bed. She gave me a book and I pretended to read as I laid on my belly while she took some pictures. I had already taken some in the water and my body and hair were still wet. “Are you taking thirst traps?” Caleb asked. He was the kind of person who couldn’t walk away after seeing something interesting. Caden saw us taking pictures and he merely watched from afar. “Instead of asking stupid questions, why don’t you get something for her to eat?” Charlotte was naturally a sweet girl but whenever she was amongst her siblings, she got rude quickly. Caleb ignored her. “Send them to my DM first before you post them anywhere else.” I scoffed. “You wish.” “You bet your fine ass I do.” “Ewww.” Charlotte’s face twisted in disgust and she stopped taking pictu
Saint Giordano ~•~ I finally understood why women often used the phrase, “If he wanted to, he would,” because that was the only thing that could explain how I was able to get back to California on the same day that I angered Adriana. I didn’t know what exactly I’d done, but I knew I had done something very wrong when she suddenly hung up on me and refused to take my calls after that. As though my calls were totally invisible to her, she decided to post pictures of herself in a bikini as though she was trying to rile me up on purpose. When she posted the pictures, her location showed she was at her friend’s place. After that, her phone was suddenly turned off. The problem was that the said friend had four brothers and it was probably one of them in the picture. I was less worried because she wasn’t with random men but four men? I couldn’t even get angry. I was too tired to. I was just on an unplanned fourteen-hour flight and Donald was dozing off next to me. I was supposed
Adriana Jensen~•~I woke up with my arms around an unfamiliar object. I squinted my eyes only to see that I was lying in bed with a stuffed animal that was almost my size.Frowning, I looked around and realized that I wasn’t at home. I was at Saint’s place. How the hell did I end up here? He was in China, wasn’t he? However, I didn’t know the passcode to his place so I couldn’t get in myself. That meant one thing.“You’re awake.” I heard him speak as he came into the bedroom.I sat up slowly, ignoring the throbbing in my head. I hated drinking because of the consequences but I couldn’t help myself this time. I couldn’t stop thinking about Saint and I wanted to stop. “What am I doing here?”He arched an eyebrow at me as though I was asking an obvious question.“How did I end up here?” I rephrased. “And since when did you have stuffed animals in your house?”“Since last night.” He walked further into the room. “You requested for one. I had no choice but to buy it. Do you not remember?”
