Don't forget to VOTE and COMMENT!!

Until stopping in front of a grand mansion I thought all my feelings were in tact-I was wrong.

I started to feel uneasy and uncomfortable and that had nothing to do with the potential of danger on this mission, it was because I knew that as soon as I step out of the car many eyes will be on me, judging and analysing.

There weren't that many people on the huge stone steps but enough to make me squirm in my seat

I tried not to show my emotions as best as I could and I think I succeeded considering Agostino didn't notice anything when he gave me a look which I'm guessing meant 'Are you ready ?'
and didn't say anything when I nodded back

As soon as the car was unmoving Agostino stepped out and as I was looking at his retrieving figure trough the window I didn't notice that the door on my side was open and a young, professionally dressed man was looking at me with an extended hand gesturing for me to grab it

As I was about to reach out and grab it the guy was gently pushed aside and Agostino said something only the two of them could hear making the worker back away without another word

Turning to me it was now Agostino who extended hand towards me, thinking about not making a scene in front of all these people I grabbed his hand without a word and was pulled out of the car actually managing to do it gracefully, without tripping.

We made our way up the long staircase and I noticed most people that were standing around having very different reactions to our arrival

Some were openly staring at us-mostly women, that were checking out Agostino. Others gave a short not but most were adverting they're eyes looking down at the ground.

As we neared the entrance I started to relax but that was short lived when Agostino placed his hand on my waist pulling me to him, a part of his warm hand touched the bare skin on my back
making my heart race, I'm not sure why. Was it because I wasn't expecting it or because that's just the reaction my body had towards his touch?

Agostino noticed my distress"We have to act like a couple remember?"he whispered in my ear

I gulped and nodded. Yes, I remember him telling me that we had to make everybody believe that we are a couple to make Agostino look less suspicious. How that was going to work I have no idea

We made our way inside and it was absolutely breathtaking. A very bright room if you could call it that, the place was bigger than any house I had ever lived in. Checked tile floor was under our feet, white walls with shimmery, light patterns on it also something about the huge bouquets of flowers intrigued me,the flowers were something I'd never seen before, they almost looked too exotic and beautiful to be in a place like this

While we were walking towards the middle of the large room, trough masses of people that greeted us well.. Agostino to be exact, I grabbed a glass of champagne from a waiter passing by and swallowed all content of the glass in two gulps placing the now empty glass on a tray of a different waiter
passing by this time

"I hope you aren't planning on getting drunk here"Agostino said having seen what just happened

"What else am I supposed to do considering I have no exact role or aim in all of this? Might as well pass time by drinking" I answered slowly

"Well, it's not exactly like you can do much as you weren't trained for something like this. " he said looking around the room as if searching for something or someone

"Maybe, but I often see things other people don't notice, I might just have to show that off a bit later" I say somewhat distantly however that gets him to face me and stare into my eyes for a few seconds before he started to speak again

"Look, I have to go talk to somebody so try not to drink all of the champagne while alone okay?" He says fixing his blazer

"It's not like I can get drunk on just champagne"I said giving him a bored face

"Just...try to behave..please"and with that he's off, leaving me alone potentially surrounded by other mafia or gang members, just how I like it

I've been standing alone near one of the walls for about half an hour now

This sixth glass of champagne is sliding down my throat like water

There have been few attempts of people trying to make a conversation with me, mostly horny men but if you know me, you know I'm not a very friendly person

However all this time gave me the opportunity to see a few things here and there

One of the main things was that a familiar looking man has been throwing glances in my direction but also not missing the opportunity to look at Agostino who is standing on the other side of the room, talking to a different person every few minutes.

Currently he was having a sweet conversation with a busty brunette

Undoubtedly she is really hot and if I- a straight female thinks so, then it's impossible to imagine what is on the minds of all the males here

When we came here I was given a job of making us look like a couple and I guess the time for that has just come

I place down my once again empty glass on the nearest empty table and made my way across the room towards my destination

As I reached Agostino his eyes had stuck on me as if he was not in any way expecting me to come right now but guess what... here I am.
