Breanna POV

"You look gorgeous!" Carmen squealed and clapped her hands at her work. She did my hair and that was about it, I chose to barely wear makeup because I've had a headache all day and putting on makeup didn't sound too appealing at the time. She just did my eyebrows, some eyeliner and mascara. I took the liberty of putting lip gloss on, I felt like no color of lipstick was for my lips except red, but that wouldn't match the blue dress I was wearing tonight. It was now seven on the dot and there was a knock on the door.

"Here, take this powder, if you feel like your face is oily or whatever just dab a little to dim it." She told me as she started to touch all over me and dust off invisible dust from my shoulders.

"Carmen, I know how makeup works." I laughed while pushing her away.

"Right, I know that. I just feel like my little sister is going on her first date. I'm so excited for me—I mean you. You. I'm excited for you." She let out a cackle and I couldn't help but do the same.

We both ceased laughing when we heard the knock again, "Oh my God we're coming!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.

"I need to put on my shoes, give me a sec." I told her as she left my room.

"Oh!" She spun on her heel quickly and went to my desk, opening one of the drawers and pulling something out.

"Don't forget to give this to Mr.Lombardi so he can give it back to those guys." She tossed me something small and I quickly caught it. I looked down at it as she walked out again. It was the flash drive from the night at the restaurant about a month ago. I completely forgot about this!

I put it in the matching clutch, along with the powder, my phone, lip gloss, my charger, car keys and the keys to the condo, and some cash. I wasn't looking forward to having to hold this thing all night, and I felt no where near prepared without a backpack on my back, but I pushed my anxieties down and left my room for the night.

"I hope you two fuck tonight." Carmen whispered to me when I passed by her.

"Yeah, no." I elbowed her and we both laughed. Instead of Luciano standing by the door, it was Russo.

"Hi?" I questioned. I looked him up and down and didn't fail to notice he was wearing the tux I'd picked out and tailored for him. He looked good with his dark brown hair parted down the middle and lightly slicked to the sides.

"Evening." He nodded towards me.

"Well, you have fun!" Carmen skipped to her bedroom and we heard the door slam seconds later.

"Where's Luciano?" I asked him.

"We will meet him there." He told me, opening the door and gesturing me to go. I stepped out my apartment and locked the door behind us. Russo didn't touch me and kept his distance as we walked down to the large black SUV parked outside my building. The driver let us in the car, me going first with his help and then Russo got in.

"I was given very strict instructions to not compliment you, so keep it between us, sì? You look very beautiful. Luciano will be hard as steel." Russo chuckled to him while pouring us glasses of champagne.

I couldn't help but laugh at him, and then a feeling of nervousness washed over me. Would Luciano be expecting sex tonight? We hadn't talked about me staying the night with him anywhere, I didn't even have a change of clothes with me or planned out. Isn't it too soon? I can't even say I love the guy.

Oh my God. What if his dick is small?

No, Luciano's too confident for that.

I mean he's cocky too, but confident is something different in this case.
