Billionaire to Billionaire

Chapter 17.

*Anthony's view

The party consisted of a lot of people that both Andi and I knew separately. When we arrived and walked in together, her holding my arm, it was like the whole room fell silent before resuming again. Andi blushed as I smiled down at her. She's absolutely breath taking! Seeing so many men stare at her made my blood want to boil. But she's absolutely gorgeous, whether she sees it or not. So I know why they're staring. Even if I don't like it. We mingle around the room for a bit before a person comes across a mic and asks everyone to be seated. So we go off to find our seats. I hold her chair out for and Andi blushes. I hear her try, quietly, to groan as her bottom hits the seat. I can't help but smile knowing it's just from a couple hours ago. I kiss her cheek as I slide her chair up and whisper in her ear "Doing alright?" "She evilly glares up at me. "I’m fine, thank you!" Laughing, I take my seat. The dinner itself was ok. A little on the bland side. Neither one of us finished any of the courses but dessert. Even the salad was sad.

After dinner, the dance floor was opened. I asked Andi if she wanted to dance. She blushed and said sure. So I swept her out onto the floor and placed one hand on the small of her back, playing with her low dress line, and took her other hand in mine. We danced a couple of songs before a gentleman came up and asked to cut in. Andi smiled and politely declined, saying she needed a break. I was happy she did because there was no way I was going to let him touch her. When we got back to the table, I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. It was from a gentleman I know fairly well who was also here. It was a picture of Andi and I dancing. It said "She makes you look good! Glad to see you happy! Cheers!" I smiled and sent him a text back saying thank you. Thinking about it, I am happy. I can't remember the last time I was this happy. Since meeting Andi, my whole world has changed. And for the better! I ask Andi if she wouldn't mind going to meet an acquaintance of mine. She says sure! So she takes my arm and I lead her over to him and his wife. "Eric, Diane, I’d like to introduce you to someone!" "Anthony! Glad to see you!" Eric says. "Andi, this is Eric and Diane Cox. Eric, Diane, this is my girlfriend Andrea Russo!" Eric stares at me for a moment. "I’m sorry, did you say girlfriend and Andrea Russo in the same sentence?!" I laugh "Yes, yes I did!" "Ms. Russo! I apologize for being rude but I was not expecting that! My company and I have been following you for the last few years! You're amazing!" Andi blushes. "Thank you, Mr. Cox! I'm flattered!" Diane reaches her hand out and greats Andi. We sit and chat with them a few and Eric goes all fan girl talking to Andi about her businesses. Andi tells Eric that she occasionally does consulting with companies that neither party intend on buying or selling and Eric's eyes light up. "Ms. Russo! On behalf of my company, would you mind doing that with us? I have a project or two that'd I love some ideas on!" "Absolutely! Let me get your number and I'll get in touch with you next week to set something up!" "The hell, Eric!? You've never asked me for help!" I playfully tease. "Yeah, well...you're not THE Andrea Russo! So, better luck next time! I'm not passing this up!" He jabs. I laugh as Andi blushes. Before we leave, Diane offers to take a picture of us. "You two look absolutely gorgeous! Andi, you could be a run way model!" Diane adds. Andi smiles and blushes. "Well, if we're being honest, I'd really rather be sitting at home eating a pizza!" "Oooh! Don't mention food! The meal left a lot to be desired tonight!" Eric groans. We laugh. Andi and I stand up and pose together. Her head slightly on my chest above her hand. "Anthony! We need to get together soon! The four of us should get together for dinner one night!" "That'd be perfect! We'll be in touch! But if you don't mind, I'd like to escort this gorgeous lady out of here!" We say our goodbyes and head for the door.

Before we can get there, Andi is suddenly stopped. Starlted, we both turn to see David Smith who has a hold on her arm. Andi tries to free herself. "Let go of me." She says angrily. "What are you doing here with him? People will talk if they don't see us together, sweetheart!" He boldly tries to insert himself. '"Mr. Smith, I told you the other day that we were no longer a thing. Kindly remove your hand from my arm before I give people a new reason to hate you." "Andrea, you're being unreasonable." He coldly says. "Excuse me, but my fiancé has kindly asked you to remove your hand from her arm. I suggest you do it now or I will remove it for you!" I say through gritted teeth. "Listen, buddy. I don't know who you think you are, but Andrea is mine. You stay out of this!" Robert Fargo comes striding up, seeing the scene taking place. "Anthony Mozzeo! Is that Ms. Andrea Russo I see on your arm?" He practically shouts. A look of fear washes over David's face. Robert stops for a moment. " Is everything alright here?" He asks. "I’m sorry, sir. We were trying not to cause a scene, but Mr. Smith here seems to not be able to understand that he has no right to place his hands on Ms. Russo". David quickly removes his grip from Andi and she leans into me. Robert turns towards David. "Is that right? Well, Mr. Smith, I recommend you come to terms with your situation and leave with security instantly". David's face is ghost white as two security guards come up beside him. They quietly escort him out of the building. A young lady quickly follows after him. Robert turns back to us. "Well, that takes care of him for now!" "Thank you, Mr. Fargo! I appreciate that!" Andi says. He quiets his voice "Andrea, I never liked him or thought he was good enough for you. I’m happy to see you're on top of your game now!" I laugh as Andi's cheeks redden. "Thank you, sir!" "Well, I hope you two have had a splendid night! It was certainly fun watching you two float around on the dance floor! But I know, you two being young kids, probably want to disappear together so I won't hold you up any further!" Andi's face is even redder! "Thank you, Mr. Fargo! It was a lovely night! Thank you for inviting us!" "Ah! Don't mention it! I'm just glad you two showed up! And together!" With that he winked and disappeared.

I take Andi's arm and say "Shall we?" "Yes, please! Before we see anyone else!" I laugh and escort her out the door. The valet brings her Supra around and I help her into the passenger side. I then take the driver's seat and we're off. It's about a 20 minute drive back to the tower. "My love, are you still hungry?" I ask. "Mmmm yes! Yes I am!" "How about we stop and grab something?" "Sounds fantastic!" We decide to be really fancy and pull off for some taco bell. We gladly take it home and sit at the island, still in our dress clothes, and eat it! Overall, a pretty decent night!

After we finish eating, we head for bed and I help Andi out of her dress. I give her a light smack on her already sore butt and she jumps and screams. I laugh as she gives me dirty looks and pulls her hair into a braid. "Mmmm. I hope you remember the consequences for teasing me, my love!" She sticks her tongue out me and I lean out to bite it. "Do you need another reminder?" "No! Although I loved it at the time, my butt hurts now!" "Good!" Now get into bed!" "I’m going to grab a nightshirt first". "Mmmm how about you just sleep in your underwear...and I’ll just sleep in mine?" She smiles and wraps her arms around me, pushing her naked chest into me. "Mmmm sounds nice!" I kiss her lips, taking in her taste, and walk her over to the bed. Crawling in next to her, naked, is the best feeling in the world! I wrap my arms around her and pull her tight. Our legs intertwine and it's not long before we both fall asleep under the blanket!
