One Billionaire night

Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3

Davies P.O.V

I haven't been myself since I met that lady. I saw her for the first time at a bar I frequented, she looked really beautiful and she was calm too. She kept on sipping her drink and looking at her cellphone like she was expecting a call from someone. I observed her for some minutes before walking up to her, she intrigued me.

Ladies rarely intrigued me, they were like dishwater to me. To be used and thrown away, but this particular one was different, different from the rest and I don't know if it was a good thing.

We chatted, had a couple drinks together and she was really fun to talk to, I didn't know if she loosened up because of the alcohol she took, but she became really chatty and I was enjoying her company. One thing led to another and we started kissing, made out and we had s*x. The next morning she was gone. That was where the trouble started.

I am Davies Gambino, the CEO of Gambino housing and properties. I am wealthy and a popular name in the country. Some say it's my family wealth, but I know I made a name for myself by myself. All my years of hard work were eventually paying off and I was getting the recognition I truly deserved. Many may not know except the few that I am close to that I have facial blindness. It was a disease I was diagnosed with from my childhood.

I didn't recognize people's faces and I only get to distinguish them with their voices. I only got to Distinguish important people with their voices, people I know i have to see daily which is why I never recognize the ladies I had s*x with. The next day, I don't even know who they are.

It was different with marina, I felt something strong with her. She was attractive no doubt but the strange part was that I recognized her face and her face kept popping up in my head that I had to hire people to do a background check on her. I needed to see her, she was someone I needed. Since the day I met her, I was able to sleep well at night, unlike before. I have been battling with insomnia for many years but for some strange reasons, I have been able to sleep peacefully since I met her.

After three weeks, I eventually found out everything about her. She had a boyfriend of about three years and they were in a serious relationship, she worked as a real estate realtor, she was an only child. I got to know where she worked, where she lived, the restaurant she frequents and every other details about her.

I decided to pay her a visit in her working place. I had gotten mad when she have pretended not to know me, but I was a master in the game and I gave her a dose of her own medicine.

I was always the one that called it quits with women because they were like leeches, they were always leeching on me. They just wanted what I could offer and i couldn't put up with that. She was the first lady to challenge me and for some weird reasons, I found it really amusing. She wasn't only intriguing, she was amusing too.

It wasn't fun to threaten her but I would do anything i can do to get what I want. Marina is something I want and I would get it, I wasn't use to giving up and I wasn't about to give up now.

**********

It is thirty minutes past 8pm and she wasn't here yet. For the records, she's the first woman to stand me up. I wasn't used to chasing ladies,it was the opposite.

My Chaffeur tried to convince me to leave but I refused, I wasn't going to leave. I have a feeling she would be here, she wasn't going to disappoint me.

After waiting for another thirty minutes, she eventually came. She was putting on a black sequined dress, it was nothing glamorous, but she still looked elegant. She's a beauty and she can rock whatever she's putting on because she has a nice body.

"Wouldn't you apologize for being late?" I requested and she raised an eyebrow.

"I am not here because I want to". She retorted throwing daggers at me with her eyes.

She was feisty too, I like that.

"What are you having?" The server asked us before handing over the menu to us.

"I am okay...." She was saying until I cut her off.

"Bring us your best bottle of wine for now". I requested.

"In a minute sir". The server said before walking away.

"I am not drinking alcohol". She deadpanned.

"And why's that? Are you scared of doing what you might regret again. I would not touch you without your consent marina, keep that in mind." I paused. "I would only touch you if you want me to"

"You wouldn't be getting that permission from me Mr Gambino. We should discuss whatever is it that you want to discuss,I don't have time".

"You stood me up for an hour already, the least you can do is to let me eat in peace. I am starving". I told her with a tone of finality.

Marina's P.O.V

He kept on throwing side glances at me while we ate. I wasn't enjoying the food because I had a lot on my mind and I was not comfortable too. I was overly self conscious. I have been here a few times and the food was good too but I wasn't just feeling it today. What if someone I knew recognized me?we were at the VIP area which was quite secluded from the main area but that didn't calm me down a bit.

Asher had rich friends that also frequented this place, what If I run into them? Mr Gambino was the least concerned here, he looked neutral and he was paying attention to his food. He must have a huge appetite while I could barely eat. I swallowed all the content in my glass in one gulp then I filled my cup again. I took in the content again in one gulp and I continued like that until he stopped me.

Good, he was definitely paying me some attention now.

"That's enough". He commanded.

"The wine tastes good. What's wrong with that?" I asked him.

"You would get drunk". He stated like it wasn't obvious already. I already took about four glasses, I knew I was slowly getting drunk, if not drunk already.

"You shouldn't have ordered me the wine then, stay away". I warned him before attempting to take the wine bottle but he was faster than me.

"We should discuss when you aren't drunk". He told me.

"And who says I am? I am not drunk. What do you want from me?"

"You know what I want". He told me and I raised an eyebrow.

"And what's that?"

"You. I want you Marina". He told me with a straight face and I bursted into laughter and be looked at me as if I was crazy.

It was unladylike, but at that moment. I didn't care and moreover I was tipsy already. I would have staggered if I was standing. Knowing fully well I was almost drunk, I still reached for the bottle of wine and this time, he didn't stop me. I gulped a glass before facing him.

"You are crazy" I told him.

"Yes, I am crazy about you." He retorted.

Was this a joke to him? Did he really call me here to tell me this?

"I don't know who you think you are Mr Gambino, but I am not falling for this cheap trick. For God's sake, we barely know each other, I only got to know your name today and you are crazy over me? Really? If this is how you go around tricking ladies, I am sorry, I am not like the other ladies". I paused. "Wait, did you really think I would be all over you because you said this? I don't know you and I don't want anything to do with you." I told him.

"I still want you. You are something I want and I get whatever I want". He said nonchalantly like I was a property he was negotiating the price with someone.

"You are sick". I told him. "I am not a property neither am I a thing, so why do you keep addressing me as that?" I was slowly getting aggravated, everything was stressing me out. "And moreover, your behaviour towards this whole situation is not cool at all. Why are you making a fuss over a f*****g night stand?It was just a night". I said a little too loudly and I think people heard us because he immediately looked around and offered them a tight smile before dragging me out of there.

"What are you doing? Get your f*****g hands off me" I told him but he didn't budge. He finally released my hand when we got outside. "What do you think you are doing?" I yelled.

"I should be asking you that" he paused before taking a proper look at me. "You are drunk". He said.

"I am not'. I argued.

"This is not good, i should get you out of here". He said before taking out his phone, he made a call and I heard him making commands over the phone and in few minutes time, a car pulled over.

"You should go home" he said. "We would talk some other time". He said leading me towards the car but I wasn't budging.

"Don't touch me, we are not done talking yet".

"You are drunk, we should talk when you are sober".

"I don't want to". I said before releasing myself from his grip and stepping away from him. I guess he signalled the driver to go back in.

"What are you doing? You are drunk, you should go home" he said and this time he was looking angry. I guess he already got frustrated.

"Are you usually like this?" I ask him.

"Huh?"

*Are you usually this way? Do you threaten everyone you come in contact with this way?" I paused before taking a deep breath. "Look, I know what happened between us shouldn't have happened from a moral point of view and honestly,I feel bad about it, I really do. I feel bad, so bad every single day, I have to face Asher and lie to him that everything is alright even when I know it's not and guilt is eating me up inside.I really love Asher, I really do. He's like the best thing that have happened to me in a long time and everything is about to collapse, everything we have built during the years is about to come to an end just like that. It was just my moment of weakness and that just had to happen between us. Can't you just overlook it and let's both go our separate ways?" I asked desperately.

I was desperate and I already bared out my heart to him. That was one of the reasons why I really hated getting drunk. I tend to say things I am not meant to say while drunk. I usually say whatever comes to my head while drunk and I know I would be embarrassed about it when I am sober.

"You are drunk". He told me. He was really mean, that was the only reply he gave to me after I bared out my whole heart to him?

"You are really despicable and I honestly don't want to see you again". I told him before attempting to leave but my drunk self thought otherwise because the moment I started working,I staggered and he caught me in his arms.

That was unexpected, I had expected to land on the cold bare floor. He smelt so good, he smelt like wood and raspberries and there was also this manly scent. He smelled really good.

Was was I doing?

We were really close to each other and I didn't like it one bit. We shouldn't be this close to each other, I didn't want to make another mistake. "Get your hands off me". I told him.

"What if I have another thing in mind?" He asked looking at me straight in the eyes.

"And what's that?" I blurted out.

"I want to kiss you".

"What?"

"Push me away if you don't want me to do that". He told me before trapping my face in between his warm palms, he looked at me again before moving his face closer to mine and I patiently waited for the impact. His face was really close to mine now and I already closed my eyes waiting for his lips on mine. One...two...three.... nothing happened.

I opened my eyes to see him staring at me straight in the eyes, his face was still close to mine. He released me from his grip before moving back, we were still standing in close proximity though.

He was smiling as if he just discovered something.

"You want me too Marina". He declared. "You are just denying it. You find me attractive too".

"What the f**k are you saying?" I retorted. My face was burning from embarrassment. Did he just test me by teasing me?

"I want you too, so I won't disappoint". He said before dragging me and he crashed his lips on mine.

I didn't push him back, I really wanted to but I just couldn't bring myself to do that.

I wanted to kiss him and I did just that.

I kissed him and it felt so good, so right and I liked feeling that way. I didn't want it to end.

We kept kissing till my head went light. When we finally stopped, he looked at me with his sexy smirk playing on his face.

"You taste good". He commented.

Chapter 19:

I woke up next morning, groaning because of the hangover. I turned to check the clock, it was 9am. So much for having a nice dream last night. Last night was such a wild party. I could clearly remember how much fun I had drinking, laughing and talking with him. I remembered his words yesterday.

If I don't like him, I should stay away.

I sighed heavily. There was no point in thinking about those things, they are meaningless.

I got up and dressed. I took a bath and brushed my teeth before going downstairs to prepare breakfast. The kitchen was empty.

"Good Morning". A voice greeted me from behind and I nearly jumped out of my skin.

"Oh god!" I cursed. "Don't scare me like that! What the hell man?"

"Sorry".

I turned to the source of the voice.

"Good Morning". I smiled before turning back to my work.

As usual when he came down to the breakfast table, he was quiet. After he drank his coffee, he didn't talk much either. We ate silently and it felt very strange not to have any banter between us.

When I finished my toast, I washed the dishes and then cleaned the table after breakfast while he sat there and watched me. After a while, I decided to start cooking something else to fill his stomach so I grabbed the pot to boil water.

"Are you trying to poison me or something?" he suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?". I asked him.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about". He replied.

"I don' know what you're talking about." I replied. "And I haven't tried anything."

"Have you been checking the pots and pans?" He asked.

"No, why would I do that?"

"Maybe you were wondering if you put a poisoned knife somewhere". He suggested.

"Why would I do that?
