When Antonio woke up a smile graced his lips feeling Aaliyah in his arms, he didn't know what to feel but happiness as she laid in his arms peacefully looking like an angel, he couldn't wait for her to wake up so he could see those beautiful brown eyes and hear that Goddess like voice, but a part of him felt like once she woke up she would come to her senses, she would see that she made a mistake yesterday, staying.
The grip on his heart grew tighter with all the worry thoughts, he was could keep his emotions in check but when it came to her....when it came to his love for her, nothing could make him less in control of himself, he was like a game and she had the controls.
He was so deep in thought he had barely notice Aaliyah staring at him watching his frown grow deeper as his thoughts became heavier, she knew exactly what he was thinking about.
"Stop thinking so much." He heard her, his eyes met her eyes as s
- Chapter 78: Longed & Bad person - Aaliyah and Tia sat back on the couch, Tia had came when Antonio left, Aaliyah wondered if she made a mistake by kissing him, she wondered if it was too early if it was the right time. They had so much to discuss but of course, instead of discussing it, she tried to forget the situation at hand by using sex. She was now deep in thought as she thought about their relationship, was it, love? Or was it lust? Was she just infatuated with him? "What's got you thinking so much?" Tia asked her friend, Aaliyah sighed. "A lot." She made a gesture for her to explain. "Well, I'm not sure if I love Antonio." Tia looked at her shocked. "What do you mean? You're getting married to him, you've said you loved him, and you smile more when you're with him." Aaliyah nods. "You're right, I do love him, maybe I'm just worried about the wedding." "Maybe, but why did you even say that?"
- Chapter 79: Hotdog - When Antonio entered his room it was 11 PM he wasn't surprised when he saw Aaliyah asleep on the bed, the only light on was from the bathroom, he decided to take a quick shower before going to sleep. He sighed as the water fell on his tense shoulders making them relax, he thought once he went to Paris he could relax get away from the troubles of work, but no matter where he went business seemed to find him, all he wanted to do was be with Aaliyah all day, he just wanted to hear her voice, see her smile, make her laugh and hold her in his arms. After a few minutes he finally exited the bathroom wearing some boxers, he went on the bed going under the covers, he placed a kiss on Aaliyah's cheek, she slowly opened her eyes. "You're back." She grumbled looking up at him, he nods smiling. "I didn't mean to wake up beautiful." He whispered she shook her head. "It's fine, how was the meeting?" She asked him
-Chapter 80: I Want-Aaliyah rested her head against Antonio's shoulder as they sat in the sand, watching the ocean move in the moonlight, she hadn't realized how beautiful the moon was until she sat under its light with him, she noticed dark clouds forming slowly, telling her the storm they had predicted was coming soon. "When are we leaving?" She asked softly."Do you want to leave?" She shook her head, making him smile as he stood slowly pulling her up with him. "Let's walk." He held out his hand for her to hold which she did with no hesitation."Do you know what I thought when I first saw you?" She looked up at his eyes telling him to continue. "I thought about firing you because you came a few seconds late but something told me to let it go and I'm glad I did or else I wouldn't have met such an amazing person." She smiled."You know what I thought about you?" He nods. "I thought you were an asshole, I mean who the hell expects everyon
-Chapter 81: One percent-Aaliyah stood in the bathroom, brushing her hair, while Antonio stood next to her putting on his shirt. They were about to go for breakfast with their friends since they all hadn't been in the same place in a while.He turned to her taking the brush, stroking her hair with the object, "You look stunning." He whispered earning a smile from her."Thank you." She watched as he placed the brush on the bathroom counter, moving her hair to the side he placed a kiss against her neck making her whole mood change. "Right now?" Aaliyah asked as he placed both hands on the counter entrapping her."Do you remember the bottle of tequila I had in our house?" She hummed feeling his hand against her thigh while he caressing her neck with his lips. "I found out it was empty, you wouldn't mind telling me who would do such a thing?" She bit back a moan as he pulled up her skirt moving his hand inside the thong she wore."You
- Chapter 82: Ilaria - A few weeks had passed since their trip to France, even though Aaliyah and Antonio were home, the wedding still had to be pushed back since they both had a lot of work to do, day to night, they barely saw each other unless they were in a meeting or she had to give him some paperwork, both busy with their own work. Aaliyah had taken a few pregnancy tests but all of them came out negative which made her really frustrated but she knew she would get pregnant when the time was right. "-That's the action we'll be taking from now, if there aren't any further questions, you all can go." And everyone did, Antonio stuck behind going to her. "That was excellent." He told her as she packed up her papers. "Thank you, shouldn't you be getting to your meeting with the Hendersons?" He sighs nodding. "I'm sorry we haven't been spending much time together since the trip. I'm sorry our wedding had to be pushed back a bit and I'm sorr
-Chapter 83: Netflix and Chill-Aaliyah sat in the living room of her old penthouse, nothing had really changed, just some of Tia's personal items placed around the house here and there. "I thought you would be swamped with work today," Tiana confessed entering the room with two glasses of red wine, she wore her hair in an afro, her lips were glossed and she was dressed in an orange jumpsuit along with some sneakers since her feet were sore from walking in heels."Fortunately there wasn't much to do." Aaliyah declared allowing the wine to slip between her lips, she closed her eyes savouring its taste. "This is amazing, where did you get this?""I stole it from Marcus's wine cellar." A laugh escaped Aaliyah hearing this. "What? He won't be missing it." This just made her laugh harder."Well, when you're there next time steal one for me." Tia grinned missing their conversations. "Of course, but why aren't you with Antonio right now
- Chapter 84: Late - They laid on the bed, their bodies intertwined, both enjoying each other's company in the darkness. Antonio lived for moments like these, hearing her soft breaths calmed him, knowing she found comfort in his arms. Aaliyah smiled as he brought her closer to him, the feeling of butterflies rose in her stomach. She hoped she never stopped feeling the way she felt about him at this moment, he was her shelter from the storm. "Aren't you going to go back to sleep?" He asked she only shook her head. A few minutes ago they had woken up from their sleep randomly, neither able to go back to bed. "Your chest is so soft." She told him stifling a yawn running hand against it, he smiled at her random statement. "Thank you?" "I wanna stay like this forever," Aaliyah admitted putting her leg over his waist. "I don't know about forever but you have 6 hours before we actually have to get up." He told her turning her way seeing t
-Chapter 85: Angry-"Is Antonio coming for dinner?" Camila asked Aaliyah, she just shrugged not knowing what time he would be able to leave the office and she didn't really have his schedule as he was slowly trying to get her to do less work and relax."I'll have to check with him, I'm going to the office right now, I'll meet you at Britany's.""You're leaving already?" Aaliyah nods trying her best to ignore the sadness in her mother's voice."I've been slacking off enough for the week, I'll see you at dinner." She gave her a quick hug before leaving the house but not before saying goodbye to her father.-When Aaliyah arrived at her workplace, there were many eyes on her as her co-worked gossiped about her, what was it about? She had no clue, Aaliyah chose to ignore it as she went straight to Antonio's office.She wasn't surprised when she found it empty so she decided to busy herself with some paperwork until he came
