Sweet Mistake ✔

Chapter 2

   We spent the rest of the evening talking, laughing and drinking. I was surprised he remembered so much of the things we did when we were much younger. Some of those things I didn't even remember until he mentioned it. 

"I can't believe you remember so many things about me," I said smiling.

  "Of course I remember. You were too funny to forget." He knew how to use his words and with a face like that, he didn't even have to try hard to have women falling all over him. He didn't even have to try. I bet he has lines of women waiting for him in California. 

"So do you have a girlfriend?" I blurt out without thinking.

 He smirks, "No. Are you interested in filling the position?" 

  My heart jumps. "No, you wish." Of course, I was lying. I'd become his girlfriend in a heartbeat if he wanted me to. 

 He looked at me intently, "So do you have a boyfriend?"

 I  laughed at his question. "Well, my hairstyle, clothes and attitude don't really attract many men."

  He looked me serious, "You're beautiful and if they can't see that then they don't deserve you."

  I swallowed and took a sip of my drink. I didn't have problems getting attention from men, I just didn't want any of them. My heart only wanted one man, Andrea Moretti. 

"Thanks."

  He offered me a small smile. "You deserve someone hardworking, a family man, kind, friendly and someone who will love you unconditionally."

I smile, I deserve someone like you.

"The guys I like never like me back."

He chuckles, "that's because you're not liking the right guys."

  "Maybe" I state between sighs. The truth was that I never liked anyone except him. I tried to but his beautiful face always found it's way creeping back into my mind and heart. 

  "I'm staying here tonight." His words caught me by surprise and he saw my reaction. "Do you really think I'd stay in a hotel when I know I can stay here free?" I knew he didn't have a problem going to a hotel, the man has money. Maybe he's really staying here so he could spend some more time with me. 

  "Of course you can stay. You just caught me by surprise." Andre and I have never slept in the same house before by ourselves. Jules was always there with us. 

He looks at me then the tv screen and asks, "Great. Do you want us to watch a movie before we retreat to bed?"

  "Sure," I stayed calm but what I'm really thinking about is the 'we retreat to bed' part. It's not like we're to sleep in the same bed. Not that I'd mind sleeping in the same bad as him, I wouldn't mind at all.  

"What kind of movies do you like?"

  I shrug, "It doesn't matter. Let's watch something you like." I wasn't fancy when it came to movies, I prefer Tv shows; comedy to be specific.

He takes up the television remote then wrapped his left hand around my shoulder. 

He's getting rather cozy.

Not that I mind, I didn't mind at all. 

  I watch as he skips through Netflix to find a movie. He stops at one that showed Leonardo DiCaprio, the caption said 'Inception'. 

"This is a good one," he turns to look at me. "What do you think?"

I can't think when you're so close to me when your lips are so close to mine.
