Fated By Stars (Fated Hearts, #1 & 2)

Chapter19

'Te amo il mio tesoro,' the words ring in my head. What exactly does this mean? Is he unable to write in English? I would have looked up the English translation of these words if I had my phone. Unfortunately, I don't. 

I have been on the same page for who knows how long, but I am barely reading any words. Taking out the note my eyes scans the words once again. He wants to take me out.

Give this a chance. How can I? But then again, I kissed him and the kiss wasn't even initiated by him. I feel so embarrassed. I am frustrated with myself. There is something wrong with me. I practically threw myself on him. One moment I'm crying my eyes out of anger and frustration and then I'm talking to him or kissing him the next.

A car is waiting for him right in front of the main gate. My eyes have been glancing in that direction every few seconds knowing I will see him any moment now. And just in time, I see his back walking towards the car. His walk is so confident. This morning his walk seemed almost at ease but now he walks with power. I cant see his face. but I am sure he looks handsome as ever. With his black suit, black hair, and green eyes.  I see him come to a halt before opening the door, and I scrunch my brow, puzzled as to why he would come to a halt so abruptly. He just stands there, motionless. What's going through his head?

My answer was answered when I see a tiny reflection of myself sitting on a chair on the car window. Shit. Now, he knows I was looking at him. I look down at my book pretending to read when my mind is flying somewhere else. Few moments pass by but it felt like an eternity before I hear the car's engine roar.

Shaking my head, I look out into the surrounding. The sun is shining out brightly today. The water in the pool looks so inviting. I can't even remember the last time I went out swimming. The weather is perfect for swimming. But I don't have any bathing suits.

Sighing I get inside the room and my eyes immediately land on the dress that's still on the bed. Taking it in my hands I run my fingers through the material of the dress. This dress must have cost him a lot as much as I can tell from the way fabric feels against my fingers. But there is no price tag.

7 pm the note had said. Where will he take me?

"Are you going somewhere?" I hear Adriana ask. She is finally here. It's been three days since Sergey came and I have barely seen her.

I look up to see her coming towards me.

"Arosio asked me out tonight," I say putting the dress back on the bed.

"He did?" she says raising her eyebrows as she takes a seat.

I nod and jump on the bed myself.

"And will you go?"

"I'm not sure but if I do I need you to let me borrow one of your shoes. I don't have one."

"Of course," she says excitedly, pausing before continuing. "However, have you forgiven him?"

I  look at the door and speak, "No, but I don't want to think about what happened. It upsets me and he has stated that I'm not going anywhere any time soon. So, I try not to think about it. I don't think I can cry anymore. It's a lot to take in. Maybe he will just let me go himself someday."

"Okay. I won't ever bring it up. But I am not going to ask you to give him a chance. I haven't even talked to him nicely."

"No. Please don't do it for me. He is still your brother."

"It's not like he used to talk to me a lot anyway. It's only now that I see him outside his office or at home as a matter of fact." Oh.

"Adriana," I say looking at the sheets. She hums in response.
