Sofia’s POV I puffed out a harsh breath, trying not to get too loud as the breath sloshed out of my lungs due to the amount of level my nervousness currently was.What if he changes his mind and decides that I shouldn’t paint anymore?What if he gets angry at me and just does something to me right now?What if he…“A room…” He started to say in a low voice and I shivered a little, wishing I could take back those words about me needing a room to myself.Why did I ever expect that Luca would be nice enough to give me a whole room all to myself, after agreeing to give me permission to proceed with my idea of getting painting equipment and starting to paint.If that wasn’t asking for too much, I don’t know what that is.“You can have one of the rooms downstairs. Ethan and Ryan would set the room up for you tomorrow.” I whipped my head up and stared at him wide eyed, not believing what my ears had just heard.He agreed?He gave me one room to myself?“Oh, thank you, thank you!” I g
Sofia’s POV Once he had given me permission, I proceeded to ask him if I could have a room for myself, for paintings and the like, to avoid messing up anyplace apart from the room I’d be given.I had also been surprised when he didn’t try to argue with me and had just accepted and informed me that he’d give me a room downstairs. I puffed out a small breath, a tiny smile playing across my face as I started to turn back around and make my way up the stairs. Once I got up the stairs, I pushed the bedroom door open and got into it before pushing the door close behind me and wincing a little when it had closed way too loudly behind me.I patted my pants pockets for my phone and felt my heart skip a beat on finding my pockets empty. I glanced around the room and quickly glanced towards the bed side table of my side of the bed to find the table empty of my phone. I quickly started to rack my brains before remembering that my phone was on one of the couches in the sitting room, and that I
Sofia’s POV “Can you please help me get Ethan or Ryan?” I said to her after a few seconds, slightly moving my weight from foot to foot on the low inch heels.“Alright ma’am. Do you need something, or?” She asked after a few seconds, her eyes glancing down at my body for a fleeting second. I nodded my head immediately, smoothing my hand over the side of my hair and moving my weight from foot to foot.“I’ll be back in a few minutes then.” She replied before spinning around and exiting the sitting room, through the doorway which she had bent standing at, moments ago.I moved deeper into the sitting room and walked towards one of the large windows in the room to stand before it. I lifted my hands up and lightly pressed it into the soft material of the curtains, allowing the silk of the material to slide through my fingers as I pulled one part of tne curtains open to stare out the closed window.The window was high and the lower part of it was at the length of my shoulders, when I was cu
Sofia’s POV I quickly glanced up from my thighs on hearing footsteps and my eyes landed on Ethan’s build before ke had completely made his way into the sitting room and finally a few feet away from the couch I was currently sitting on. “I just got back from speaking with Mr Ricci, and he had given his permission for us to go to the mall together.”My heart soared a little and I pushed myself unto my feet with my bag still against my tights and was currently being supported by my hand. “That’s great then, let’s go then.” I said to him and quickly pulled the bag up to sling it over my shoulder, my phone still clutched firmly in my left hand.“Oh, ma’am? I still haven’t started because I wanted to be sure Mr Ricci had given his permission. And when I found out that he hadn't, I didn’t bother going back out to start it and had instead gone in to request permission for him.”“It’s alright then.” I said after a few seconds, taking an unconscious step backwards and pushing my hair out of
Sofia’s POV The car started to suddenly slow down and I blinked my eyes open a little and stared sideways, throw the car’s window, and then I noticed that we were almost approaching the mall and thst the car was about to pull into one of the empty spots in the parking lot. I sat up in my seat and smoothed my bed down with my fingers before reaching for my bag and picking it up to sling it over my arm while my phone was carefully clutched in my right hand. The car finally pulled into the parking spot and the engine finally stopped running after a few seconds.I watched as Ethan and Ryan stepped out of the car almost at the same time, and Ryan quickly walked to the back of the car to pull the door open for me.“Thank you.” I said in a quiet voice as I stepped out of the car and shifted to the side for the door of the car to be pushed close. I pulled on the length of my gown on noticing that it had ridden upwards, flushing in embarrassment a little, on realizing that Ryan’s eyes had dr
Sofia’s POV I was picking up another set of identical long brushes with thin smooth looking bristles, inspecting it for a few seconds before turning around and placing it in the cart with was almost filling out with all the things I had gotten, thanks to Micah who had been really helpful throughout the start of the whole thing.“Do you need a new cart, ma’am?” Micah asked and I took a few moments to ponder on the question before shaking my head and shrugging a little. “I’m not so sure. Do you think there’s still something else that I haven’t taken?” I asked him and he nodded his head immediately, walking forward fast and pointing towards the top of the high shelf. I craned my head around and sighted what he was pointing at.It was a bunch of spray paints in different colors and sizes.Would I even be needing that now? I seriously doubt at this point, I mean, I am supposed to have gotten a hand of the regular style of painting perfectly or almost perfectly before I can think of movi
Luca’s POV I tugged on the top of my tie and released the tightened of it a little as I stared at myself in tne floor length mirror in the walk-in closet, right before I pulled my jacket firmly on my body and buttoned up. I made my way towards the dressing table and picked up the comb, running it through my hair a few times. The hair was really dry, and so I picked up a water curls spray for the small shelf beside the dressing table and sprayed it over my hair, and once I was done, I ran tne comb through the curls and it combed out more softly, the wet liquid making the curls stick together the way it really should.I picked out the conditioner and rubbed some into my palm, massaging it into my hair, noticing a smaller swipe of finger into it, which was proof that Sofia had probably made use of it before she left the house. Once I was done, I placed the comb on the table and took a few steps back, checking out my hair to ensure that it was combed out properly and that no sid
Luca’s POV I have to get out of here immediately, before I end up doing something stupid to her, like pressing her against the wall and kissing her senseless until she get completely breathless, while I swallow down her moans and groans while also dragging my fingers through the curls on her hair and squeezing her small waist in my hands.I shook my head once, trying to will the nasty, dangerous thoughts that have been assaulting my head after I laid my eyes on her, minutes ago, while I was still standing up there at the top of the stairs.“You were going upstairs, right?” I couldn’t bring myself to not do this last thing, despite how I had tried to convince my mind not to put this particular idea into my head.I watched as she blinked a few times and stared up at me before nodding her head and glancing away from me, ducking her head away from my gaze.“Go on, then.” I said to her and took a step to the side, gesturing towards the top of the stairs. I watched as her eyes widened
