18 - Carmel Experience

"Adriano" He hummed in response.

"What are you doing?" She questioned and he finally turned his head, staring at her with a smirk.

"What are you doing?" He asked her back with a chuckle. His thumb rubbed against her and she felt her fabric being pulled to the side and quickly, she grabbed his hand, stopping him. "You can be unpredictable Teresa, but so can he. Expect the unexpected" He said.

She heard her phone notification and he nudged her to get it, but instead she asked, "Rate ?"

"9. You stopped when I started. Next time take control over the situation. Don't let him seduce you, seduce him" He advised and she got up, running into her room and grabbed her phone, checking her notification and saw that Ricco said:

Wear something sexy.

That was easy. She smiled and texted:

If you're going to order me around, I hope you are good at picking me up.

Well I assumed you wouldn't want that, he responded back too fast, showing he was way more eager than she was, but that was a good thing.

Don't assume I'll be ready by 8:00, if your car isn't here, don't expect me.

She turned off her phone, with a test in mind. She jumped on the couch, staring at Adriano as she said, "Help me pick an outfit"

She thought having him help was going to be much easier, but jokes on her, he made it more difficult. He kept saying no to so many outfits, but said she was sexy in each one of them. Isn't that what Ricco asked for? For the umpteenth time, she stepped out of the closet with a huff and he told her to do a 360 and she obliged. He stood up from the bed saying, "That's the one"

She admits, it was pretty sexy. It was a two-piece outfit. The top was a cross white and black top with tie over her belly and the matching pants to go with. They were loose pants, soft, not like jeans.

She checked the time after putting on her makeup and it was 7:56. Four minutes, she said in her head. She turned around to say something to Adriano, but he was gone and she groaned, still hating when he does that. And he makes no noise when he does it. How?!

Rolling her eyes, she applied her mascara to her lashes, and put a little gloss on her lips. She didn't like the stickiness, but she loved how they made her lips look shiny.

Checking her phone again, it was 8.

Well, he failed, She internally huffed.

Just as she was about to take her eyelashes off, her phone rang and she giggled, seeing it was Ricco. And she answered and he told her he was outside. She hung up laughing, that he failed her test.

Locking up, she walked outside and he stood in front of the car, waiting for her. He went to give her a kiss on the cheek and she held her hand up, stopping him.

"You failed my test" She grinned and he raised his eyebrow.

"Excuse me?"

She walked up, leaning forward and whispered, "I never told you where I lived" His eyes widened as she pulled back.

"Mireia-"

"Explain later"

He nodded, opening the door for her and slid in afterwards. "Where are we going?" She questioned and he signaled for his driver to drive. "It's a surprise"

She likes surprises.

He turned around, looking like he had something bad to tell. "I have something else to confess" She turned in her seat, her arms folded, playing the part of what now?.
