I could feel the sun hitting my skin and the sound of the ocean, refusing to open my eyes as I basked in it but as I turned to get into a more comfortable position a sharp pain shot down my left arm, instantly reminding me of last night's events. I opened my eyes, immediately taking in my surroundings, I was in a highly spacious room with 180 floor-to-ceiling windows, the room was gorgeous. And it wasn't mine. Looking to the other side of the King sized bed, I realised I wasn't sleeping alone as the grey silk sheets and black comforter were left in a mess but the person who had occupied that space had been long gone as it was cold by then. But looking at the bed also made me realise the fact that I was currently in a man's shirt and panic shot through me. I got up out of the bed, quickly looking for my dress and shoes, seeing one of the heels slightly sticking out under the bed I bent down to retrieve it,
"Dannazione! È uno spettacolo per gli occhi irritati!" a deep, manly voice suddenly spoke from behind me, causing me to let out a squeal and fall right back on my ass.
"For fuck sake! Could you not have knocked?! Or at least say excuse me?! You nearly killed me Teo jeez!" I yelled at him, and the bastard simply starred at me with amusement written all over his face.
He stayed quiet and I could feel his eyes burning every inch of my caramel skin, leaving heat in its path. He finally locked eyes with me and a lot was happening behind those piercing blue eyes causing me to look away shyly. I watched his feet instead as he remained silent, completely forgetting the fact that I'm practically half naked in front of a guy I barely knew, and slowly, he walked towards me making me take a step back and this little dance continued until the back of my thigh hit the bed, causing me to stop. I still avoided his eyes knowing full well that they'd make me go weak instantly and God knows the things I'd let this man do to me. Without me noticing, he brought his large hand to my chin and gently turned me towards him, making me remember the innocent gesture from last night and how though, in a dangerous situation, it still made me fold.
" You weren't so shy last night mia bella, tell me where's that confidence?" His eyes were already enough to bring me down, but his voice and his accent would probably be the reason I submit to this man. And for the life of me, I could not let that happen. Feigning courage I roughly removed his hand from my face, instantly noticing the heat it left on my chin, and walked passed him, determined to put some distance between me, him and the King sized bed that's screaming at me right now
"What do you want Teo?" I asked, with my arms folded subconsciously around myself as I felt his gaze piercing me. And after what felt like an hour he removed his eyes from my legs, meeting my own weak attempt at a glare
"I just wanted to check on you and your wound and to tell you, your friend is waiting for you downstairs."
After having stated his presence he walked towards the door but stopped, near me, close enough so that I could feel his breath on my ear.
"And I like it when you call me Teo, makes me want to hear you scream it" I felt my cheeks flush and my eyes widen, and heard him release a low chuckle before he walked out of the room and leaving.
I was too shocked and mad to move from the spot and only realised when my arm started iching. I noticed the room had another door towards the left side of the bed and entered it to find a bathroom, and quickly took a shower, and as I came back into the room I noticed a black outfit laying on the bed with a card from Maya
Bitch, I quickly went to fetch yo shit from our crib, your bags are downstairs, get dressed and come down here, there are fine men waiting on you!! -Love, boss bitch Maya
This bitch got some nerve for real!

I wore the outfit and paired it with some black Dior slides Maya bought for me last Christmas. Leaving the room I finally realised how big this house is and didn't even realise I had made it to the stairs until I heard voices downstairs. Walking in, Maya quickly ran towards me and started touching on my face and shit
"Bitch get yo nasty ass hands off of me the fuck is wrong with you?" I playfully said as I swatted her hands outta my face
"Dang bitch, I patch you up, change your heavy ass and get you some clean clothes and this is how you treat me? No loyalty huh?" Maya said with a dramatic pout of her bottom lip, causing me to roll my eyes in response.
"Yaya stop overreacting you know it's always gon' be me and you, just don't touch my face." I said as I consoled her wounded ego 🙄
My interaction with Maya, made me forget the two men we were with, and I sheepishly waved at Marcelo who was patiently sipping a cup of tea, actively avoiding Teo in general, I sat on the furthest bar stool in the kitchen and began fixing me a plate of fruit and plain yogurt when Maya asked
"So, now that we're all here, you boys care to explain what the fuck last night was about?" The two men , dropping the spoons at the same time and clearly having a mental argument, which was annoying me.
Teo looked at both of us warily before taking a deep breath
