Mia’s pov The word ‘humiliation’ has never applied to me in my entire life like it does to me right now.I wasn’t sure I'd ever want to actually disappear from the face of the earth like I really want to at this very moment. I watched through wide eyes as Lorenzo exited the kitchen without sparing me another look, and shame so intensely engulfed me. My heart was still racing and it didn’t seem like it was going to slow down any moment from now. I glanced down at my cloth, wrinkling my nose at the dirt all over it. My eyes wandered around the kitchen and I let out a long sigh after a few seconds, knowing that I was going to clean up all the mess I had made by mess. Without wasting much time, I decided to get to work, because I know damn well that Lorenzo was going to flip should he come down here once again to realize that I left the kitchen the way it currently is.I let out a long sigh as I picked up the rag next, and as worked, I couldn’t get the thought of what Lorenzo
Mia’s pov Lorenzo’s face was void of all emotion, which unnerved me in a hundred ways at the same time.The incident that had occurred between us back in the kitchen, hours ago, drifted into my mind in that moment and I found myself flushing in embarrassment as I glanced away.I clasped the edge of my towel and pulled it tightly, feeling completely bare in his presence right now.“Why are you staring at me like a fish out of water? Like you’ve seen a ghost or something.” He rasped out, eyebrows arched and I found myself blinking in confusion, while trying to figure out if he was being for real right now.The reason why I’m currently staring at him right now should be plain as day to everyone who’s a little bit smart. Lorenzo was far from being a little bit smart, he’s a whole lot of smart, so I’m very sure he knows exactly why I’m staring at him the way I currently am.I shifted my weight from foot to foot, chewing at the inside of my cheeks as I made to speak.“You’re staring–” I be
Mia’s pov The relief that flooded me at Lorenzo’s was intense and I instantly tried not to make it obvious on my face.I had begun to feel hungry and the strength which I had used to clean the mess I made in the kitchen had made me drain the little energy I had.I had thought he was going to make me starve for the entire day especially after he seemed to have been extremely angry at me while we had been in the kitchen, but I guess one thing Lorenzo really likes, was to do the unexpected.And this right here, is why it’s extremely hard for me to fire him out. There was no way I’d be able to do that if his personally keeps changing at different intervals.“Oh.” I finally mumbled and then I glanced around for a few moments before slowly nodding my head. Lorenzo was still regarding me pointedly and the look in his eyes made me squirm a little, right before he rolled his eyes in what I’d term as irritation.“You’re still yet to get some damn shoes on.” He pointed out and I jumped a
Mia’s pov “You need to dress extravagantly tonight.” Those were the first words that left Lorenzo‘s mouth as soon as he turned off the accelerator right in front of the large black gate of the mansion.As soon as we finished in the restaurant, Lorenzo didn’t waste time in clearing off the bills. As the bills were getting cleared, he didn’t stop staring at me, making me squirm beneath the intensity of his gaze.As we exited the restaurant, Lorenzo had nodded his head at me before starting to speak.“Go on. I’ll walk right behind you.” Not liking why he was already turning that into a habit, I squared my chin and demanded why he was asking me to do that, but he had warned me to stop asking him stupid questions, forcing me to swallow the rest of words bubbling .in my throat.As I walked right in front of him, I felt his gaze on me the entire time until I got into the passenger seat of his car.“You can catch a little bit of sleep now.” He said right before he started the engine of the
Mia’s pov “Come closer some more.” His voice was husky as he spoke, and as each word slipped past his lips, so did my nerves increase a notch higher.When he had begun to explain where it was that he was taking me to, without me having to ask, had left me feeling extremely shocked because that was something Lorenzo would never do. Even if I had asked him, he’d choose to not reveal any details to me, so it had shocked me to the core to listen to him give me an actual explanation of where we were headed to tonight.On getting to the said destination, I had thought we were going to head into the building almost immediately, not expecting what he said next about me inching close to him.The look on his face unnerved me so much, making it completely impossible for me to hold his gaze. When he had slowly and thoroughly looked me up and down on arriving to pick me up hours ago, I had felt so unnerved on feeling his gaze glide over every inch of my body, that I had wished for the ground
Mia’s pov As we drew closer to a very tall duplex, Lorenzo shook my grip off his bicep, and before I could wonder why he did that, his arm was slipping around my waist, tugging me firmly against his side.And next, the doors got thrown open before I could even attempt to get myself together.Lorenzo had said this was important.He had said it was important that I play my part well tonight. Color flood my cheeks at the realization that everyone who take a look at me would see how disheveled I look, thinking I had done something really improper with Lorenzo in the car, not knowing that he had made me look like this on purpose. I didn’t want to ruin tonight. I want to do a good job, not because I’m currently enjoying doing this, but because I didn’t want to get on Lorenzo’s bad side should I ruin tonight’s plan.He had informed me that he was going to be touching and being all over me in the presence of the people we’d be having dinner with, so I really shouldn’t have felt my h
Mia’s pov “What do you think you’re doing?” Lily’s sickening high voice wasn’t scratchy as she demanded angrily, while regarding me with so much hatred in her eyes.If her intent of killing me with her sharp gaze ends up being possible, I’d end up beneath the ground in an instant.When I had excused myself from the table, I already had a feeling she was going to come after me like the spoilt daddy’s girl that she is.“Checking my makeup to see if it’s still intact, obviously.” I responded, sounding absentminded on purpose as I used my fingers to trace my eyeshadow. The scowl on Lily’s face darkened as she stepped into the restroom and pushed the door shut behind her.“If you weren’t being such a cheap slut, you’d have realized that your lipgloss had been smeared since your arrival here.” She pointed out, folding her hands over her chest, making her large boobs get more exposed. Her dress was just as exposed as mine, and if I hadn’t dressed this exposed, I’d appear underdressed c
Mia’s pov As soon as the door closed in our faces, I felt myself tense up in Lorenzo’s arms, making it almost hard for me to breathe as we began to walk towards his car until he dropped his hand.I was looking at everywhere but at him, while wondering if I had overstepped in there, not knowing how Lorenzo actually felt about the girl, and if he had liked that I had gotten into a fight with that Lily girl.After a few moments, I blurted out the next words that came to mind.“I wasn’t the one who started the fight.” Lorenzo remained silent after that, and the only indication that he had indeed heard what I had said was the little arch of his eyebrow as he regarded me with a flat look, which made me avert my gaze. “I wasn’t the one who hit her first, or—” I continued after a few seconds because I couldn’t stop the words from coming forth, but the words died on my tongue when Lorenzo abruptly stopped walking.Not knowing what to expect from him, I stopped walking as well, and al
