A LONG ICY SHOWER Leniela stayed quiet for a while before shrugging again. Her eyes found pleasure touching the taut chest but the desire to see it clearly without being hindered by the white long sleeve shirt settled in her and she begins looking for solutions for it when he held her hand from unbottoning his shirt. She blinked her fark lashes at him. "I better get out of here now before I loose control of my sanity". Cesare mumbled to himself but before he could move an inch, her legs swiftly caged him as her arms wrap around his neck. "I don't want you to go, please stay". She pouted, making his eyes settle on her lips. This night wasn't going to well. "You wanted to know why I didn't proceed with my one night stand right?". She asked cunningly, Cesare found himself nodding. "Because you've been a bad boy. You always frown like the world's best frowner". He was shocked. All this while she rejected him because of that? "See, you're doing it again and you will get old too

"Thanks alot". Leniela said to Cesare's men who had just dropped her and sent her bag inside the house. They nodded with a slight bow before going inside the car. She held the door knob and pushed it open stepping inside the familiar house which she hadn't slept in for almost a month now. Her eyes wandered around and she found everything intact except that the furniture was a little dusty. Locking the door, she slowly made her way to the room, turned on the switch and drew her purse on the bed. The next thing that she desperately needed was a bathe. Stripping off her clothes, she made her way to the bathroom and filled in the bathtub before sinking into it. As the warm water made contact with her pale skin, she felt her tensed body relaxing, touching the depths of her soul. Resting her head on the… in a relaxing marner, her mind went back to the events of the day. If not for the smaller tub she was inside and the words of the maids when she just entered the mansion which kept on

After the girls had breakfast, Emma kept her friend company and insisted on slerping over. She suggested they watch a movie together which Leniela aggreed to. "Do you hear something?". Leniela asked suddenly. They were sitted on the couch eith folded legs alongside buckets of popcorn. Emma paused to listen for a second but gave a shrugg and continue munching her popcorn. "I think there's someone on the door". Leniela said and Emma picked up the remote and pressed the pause botton. Knock knock knock!". This time Emma heard it. She glanced at Leniela. "Could it be your mom?" she asked. "I don't think so. She's suppose to come tomorrow. Let me check it out". Leniela rose up and proceeded to the door. "Be careful Lenie it might be thieves?". Emma causioned fearful as she went slowly behind her like a shield making Leniela chuckled. Peeping from the small hole on the door, she sensed no danger so she clicked the door open to see two men in black suites. The faces were familiar.

Leniela sluggishly pulled the door and walked in. Two pairs of eyes clashed with hers. One looked calm and the other really anxious, especially now that she had arrived. "For a moment I was going to check on you. Did you see what you were looking for?". Aldo asked as he took a glass of water. For a moment she was blank then sge recalled. It was a good thing he didn't go to her house. She waa sure Emma had a hand in stopping him. Oh, this friend of hers!. "Yeah..". She replied softly, taking the seat behind the cabinet to continue what she had been doing . Emma, who couldn't hold her curiosity any longer, excused herself and joined Leniela. "What happened girl? Did he do something to you?". She whispered looking directly into her eyes. Leniela wiggled her head slowly. "It's not safe talking about it now Emma". She whispered back and Emma threw a glance at Aldo who was not using his phone. "But Lenie, I'm dying of sus… "I'm back my lovely children!". A feminine voice filled w

"Seriosely mom! You mean you were nominated for the upcoming competitive pastry award in Silesi?". Leniela from her seat."That's what I just said". Amalia replied unmoved. Picking up her phone from the table, she scrowled through it and handed it over to Leniela who was sitted beside her.Leniela viewed the email with widened eyes then rushed and gave her a tight embrass. "Congratulations mom!"."Congrats Boss". Aldo who was sitted on the opposite coach said and Amalia quietly nodded."You don't look happy mom, are you alright?". Leniela asked after noticing Amalia's coldness towards the good news which she had invited her and Aldo this morning to share.Amalia sighed." This was the news I received on my way back from Siena.I was excited at first but after some thoughts..I don't really know but I think this is a mistake or something. Don't you think it's weired that I got nominated?". She asked looking at the two.Leniela began giving it a thought. Her mom was right. This particular
