My Husband's Boss

26

Lizzy POV
My eyes flutter open as I get use to sunlight through the light lace curtains. Looking around I realize the bed is empty, lowly getting up I find a note on the pillow, "good morning belle, as much as I would have loved to watch you sleep I couldn't, I had to get to the meeting, I've ordered you some breakfast, 12:00 I've booked you an appointment with a masseuse, I'll be back before you know it, enjoy!" Smiling to myself looking over the clock it was already 10:45, I must have really slept in. Getting up from the bed I slightly whimpered from the pain in between my legs, limping my way to the shower, I took a nice warm shower, relaxing my muscles. Getting out I wrapped a towel around my naked body , picking out my clothes I decided on a light floral white hanky hem dress, along with some neutral color sandals. Going up to the lounge area I found what I assume is my breakfast on the table, Placing it outside the balcony, i opened to find my favorite stuffed croissant, and blueberry muffin on the side along with a jug of Mango Juice. Taking a bite of the croissant, I moaned at the delicious taste filling my mouth, my phone rings, looking up I see it's Rick, quickly answering my phone, "Hi Rick" I answer excitedly, "Lizzy babe, I had to call you at this time due to our time zones, how's Greece" He squeals in excitement, laughing "it's gorgeous" I say in awe , "well your mother in law told me when I came to the apartment" he laughs, "and she's just a bundle of joy we even ended up going out shopping" oh gosh that woman can shop all day, laughing "I'm glad you two like each other, anyway what's up?" I ask, "well, Miles came over to see me" he says, my mood immediately souring "what did he want?" "He wants to put the divorce on hold" my brows furrow in anger "for what!" "Well according to him for business reasons, he claims that if you agree, he'll give you whatever you want without protest", sighing "well unfortunately I don't want anything from him, so please do tell him it won't be possible" I say, sighing "I definitely understand love, i gotta go, enjoy Greece and tell me all about it when you get back" he says sincerely, "I will" I smile. Hanging up, I continued having my breakfast , again my phone rings, I almost jump in excitement, "Hello" I say, "you finally awake, how are you?" He asks, "well I feel great to be honest" I say sincerely, "I wish I could see that" he says huskily, laughing "thanks for the note and breakfast it was really sweet of you" I say, "anything for you piccola" (baby), "I gotta gotta go I just called to check if you up, so I knew whether to reschedule your appointment" he sighs, "okay see you later" I say, "bye" I say going back to my breakfast .
After breakfast sure enough the cleaners came in along with the masseuse. It was an old sweet lady that asked that I undress, which was quiet awkward for me but she managed to make me feel comfortable. Laying on the table, her and I made small talk and I found out she's been working here for 15 years and has a daughter about my age who's a medical doctor, her husband died 20 years ago and has chosen to remain single. During our conversation, we engaged in a funnier one as she asked about Marco's age, and our age difference making me laugh as she thought she would get a skanky gold digger when she saw our age gap, when imagining Marco she told me she thinks of a man with a beer belly who just likes young girls for entertainment, which made me go into a fit of laughter, as Marco is nothing like the way she described , finding out that her late husband was 25years older than her, when she met him she wanted to spend his money but she only fell in love with him and they got married, her parents were so against it, they disowned her, after our chat, due to how great the massage felt I started drifting off......

Marco POV
Walking in the hotel room, the room was silent, looking out the through the sliding door, I see an elderly short lady with grey hair, she wore her baby blue uniform along with some medical shoes, walking in I find Lizzy's naked body covered with a towel as she worked on her feet, "Hello" I greet the elderly woman, giving me a sweet smile, "Hi" she whispers, "I'm almost done" she smiles. Nodding my head I go back to the room, taking the formal suit off I got changed into a plane white shirt, along with some army green shorts and a pair of men's loafers. Coming back out the balcony the lady was done with the massage and was silently packing her stuff up, Lizzy was still sound asleep, grabbing her bags, "thank you" I mouth, giving me a soft smile, "you are a very lucky man" she whispers with a soft smile, her accent thick as she walks out......

Lizzy POV
Feeling a huge hand on my naked back, my eyes flutter open, "tesoro wake up" (sweetheart) he softly whispers against my ear. Stirring up "you back" I say, "sí, and we have to be somewhere" groaning, remembering that I'm butt naked, "uhm.... Marco will you please hand me my robe" I say embarrassed, after a few moments I feel the robe covering my bare back, quickly getting up I cover myself with the robe, "where are we going?" I ask getting up from the bed, "it's a surprise" he smirks. Shaking my head I made my over to the bedroom where I changed back into my dress and sandals, tying my curls up, grabbing my clutch I make my back to the balcony to find Marco seated, his eyes glued to his phone "I'm ready" I smile, looking up he returns the smile and makes his way over to me, placing a soft kiss on my forehead "sei bellissima" (you are gorgeous), "grazie" (thank you) I say with a smirk, I decided i would look up some of the words he uses frequently, he chuckles lightly "Ti vedo imparare un po 'di italiano" he smirks, making me scrunch my nose "okay now I'm lost I only got Italian out of what you just said"  I laugh making him laugh too. Making our way out we walked for a couple of minutes, taking walks here felt so refreshing, the weather is great, not too windy not too hot either, after a few minutes of walking and turns we were at the docks. Passing the long line of people waiting to get tickets, we make it to one huge boat, looking over to Marco he had a smirk on his face, "welcome to our own private boat for today, we will be getting our own private cruise" he smiles, taking my hand he lead me inside the boat, my mouth hung open in shock, walking in it looked beautiful, with light wooden furniture inside, "it's beautiful" I breath, pulling out the chair open for me, I took a seat whispering a thanks. Good to know that chivalry still exists for some men I think to myself. Taking a seat across from mine, "Champagne?" He asks holding out a bottle, "please" I smile, pouring a glass he sets it down in front of me, and pours himself a glass. "Lizzy how are you enjoying the trip so far?" He asks breaking the silence, "it's beautiful, I could stay here forever if it were possible" I sigh, "it's so peaceful, clean, and refreshing" I add, nodding his head in agreement, he takes a sip of his drink. Sighing out "Lizzy I really want to talk to you about something?", my brows furrow, continuing "I think last night made it clear how I feel about you, I've never tried to hide my attraction towards you" feeling my heart rate increase at his words , I take a sip of my champagne, letting the cold bubbly taste fill my mouth, "Lizzy, I'm not really good with expressing myself, I think I've tried my best but I want you to be mine" he says boldly, my eyes widen at his words, "you...yours.....How?" I stutter, "to put it into simple terms I want you to be my girlfriend",  my brows furrow at his words "are you sure?", reaching over placing soft kisses on my knuckles, "I haven't been in a serious relationship since Sofia, so I'm extremely sure" he says, worried I lightly remove my hand from his grip, "I really don't know Marco", sighing "Lizelle are you attracted to me?" Nodding my head yes, "Do you have feelings for me?", thinking for a moment. I guess I do, seeing as that if he were to be with another woman it would crush my heart, looking back at him, into those hazel eyes, giving him a soft smile "I do" I whisper, breathing out a sigh of relief, "then there's nothing for us to discuss, just say yes " he smirks getting up from his seat, thinking for a moment, "okay" I smile, making his way over to me, he pulls me up as he smashes his lips onto mine, deepening the kiss making me moan into it , pulling away, "Marco" I whisper, "hmmmm" he smiles, "please don't hurt me" I say beg, placing a peck on my lips, "don't hurt me either" he says sincerely. Pulling away, "can we eat now" I frown making him chuckle, nodding his head we had the most delicious lobster pasta. We were now cruising  as I lay my body on Marco's, sitting in a comfortable silence. The water was so blue, the places looked beautiful. "We have to be somewhere later on tonight" Marco breaks the silent, looking up at him, "Mr Costas invited me over to dinner seeing as that the deal went well" he places a soft kiss on my forehead. The last name sounded familiar, not wanting to probe, I guess I'll just find out later....
After some time the ship stopped in the middle of the sea, the pilot giving us sometime to just relax. "Let's go for a swim" Marco whispered, my eyes widening for a moment "uhm...I can't swim" I lie , "I'll teach you" He lightly squeezes me waist. Water just gives me bad memories I don't want to remember, looking back over to him, "just not today" I give him a tight smile. Nodding his head we sat back in comfortable silence, enjoying the gentle breeze.....
