The maffiaboss who saved me

Chapter 9

Nora POV

2:30pm.

We took our time for brunch and changed to a lighter subject after I told Eliza what happened, but now it’s time for me to leave since Colin said he will have a dress delivered at my apartment at 3pm.

“I really need to go right now, I am expecting a delivery around 3pm.” I tell Eliza before I get up.

“Ordered online again?” She asks me with a grin while she puts on her jacket.

“No, Colin said he would arrange a dress for tonight. You know too that the nice ones are already rented out by now, so I’m looking forward to seeing what he found.” I glare at her and I get my wallet out to pay the tab.

“Enjoy your weekend ladies.” Earl says as he takes the cash from me.

“Thanks, you too Earl.” We smile in chorus.

“Please send me a picture, I’m curious too.” She orders me as we walk outside and hug each other. Eliza’s apartment is in another direction than mine so we have to say goodbye now. As I walk home I try to decide what I’m going to do with my hair and make-up tonight, I’ll probably go with a half updo and curls and a soft glam make-up.

Just as I open the fridge to get some pineapple juice I hear someone ring the doorbell so I let them in through the intercom. A minute later they knock on my door, I answer it and I see a young man with a rather large box standing on my doormat.

“I have a delivery for Nora Young.”

“That would be me, thank you.” I answer smiling and he hands me the box.

“Have a nice day, miss.” He replies while giving a small bow before he turns and walks over to the elevator. I close the door again and walk to the bedroom to set the box on my bed before I open it. In the box there is a satin red dress, a pair of black strappy heels, a smaller box and bag and a card. I take the card to see what is written on it.

“I hope you like the dress. I got you some matching shoes and accessories to go with it. My number is on the back of this card so you can text me to let me know if you like it or you need something else. X Colin.” I open the smaller box to find a delicate necklace with a single, small shimmering rhinestone, a matching bracelet and a pair of earrings with the same rhinestones shaped in the form of a teardrop. In the extra bag I find a golden clutch that matches the outfit perfectly. I can’t imagine he found all of this in a gown rental shop so I take my phone and send him a text message.

Nora: “Hi Colin, it’s Nora. I just wanted to let you know that I really love the dress and all the other stuff you got me but I want to ask you something. In what rental shop did you even find all of this on a Saturday? X Nora.” I put my phone away and take up the dress and hold it before me while I look in the mirror. Although it’s a bit out of my comfort zone I still can’t wait to try it on. My phone beeps and I see it’s from Colin already.

Colin: “Hi Nora, I’m glad you love the outfit. It’s yours to keep ;) x Colin.” I gasp as it falls down on me that he bought this for me.

Nora: “I can’t accept that Colin, it’s too expensive!”

Colin: “If you love it you are keeping it, no discussion. I’m looking forward to see you in it.” I sigh as I read the text. He’s not a negotiating type that’s for sure and I walk over to the bathroom to get the shower running. While in the shower I decide to do a complete grooming of my skin so I scrub and shave every inch before using my vanilla-scented showergel. As I spread the product over my skin I think about the feeling I got yesterday when Colin touched my hand and I feel my core heat up when I give extra attention to my breasts and n*pples. One hand travels its way down to my clean shaved mound and caresses the area around it. An org*sm builds up in my lower abdomen as I gently play around with my cl*t and let a finger slip inside me, moving it slowly. Then a flashback of the assault from yesterday pops up in my mind and I feel all the arousal slip away before I reach my climax. I shake my head to get the image out and decide to just leave it be and rinse off and get ready for tonight. After I get out of the shower I rub in the moisturizer matching with my showergel and put on a bathrobe since I don’t want to mess up the dress while doing my make-up. First I curl my hair before I put it in a half updo to one side so the curls hang over my shoulder. I brush my teeth and floss properly. Then I do my make-up, going for a soft glam look with some beige and gold tints, a winged eyeliner, false but natural looking lashes and matte rosy nude lipstick that makes my teeth look even more white than they already are. I walk over the bedroom to get dressed. Since it’s a satin dress I decided to go for seamless brazillian undies and a strapless bra before I put on the dress. I sit on the bed to put on the heels and then I finish with the jewelry before I walk to the mirror to take a look at myself. My eyes blink as I have to take a second look since I can’t believe it is me I’m staring at. The dress has thin shoulder straps and a high split on the right side which ends just below my hip. On the other side the dress reaches right beneath my left knee. I grab my phone to take a picture and send it to Eliza. A few seconds later it beeps already.

Eliza: “Damn girl! Who’s that in the mirror?! You look stunning! X”

Nora: “Thanks, I can’t believe it myself. X”

Eliza: “That man has some good taste, I bet he’s going to make a move tonight. X”

Nora: “Eliza, I told you already. It’s just to help him out, I’ll probably never hear from him after tonight. X”

Eliza: “Mark my words, if he doesn’t make a move he is gay! X”

Nora: “I’ll keep you updated tonight okay? X”

Eliza: “I will kick your ass if you don’t! Meet me in the club afterwards? You can bring him along. X”

Nora: “I’ll ask him. Don’t know what time we will leave the gala. I’ll text you when we leave. X”

Eliza: “Ok that’s fine boo. Enjoy your night! X”

I throw my phone on the bed and take another look at myself in the mirror.

“Does he like going to clubs?” I think to myself, then it falls to me that I’m going somewhere with three men that I barely know and a little panic attack overwhelms me.

“Calm down Nora, they helped you out yesterday so why would they do something to you now?” I try to ease my mind while I take the clutch to put my phone, cards, keys and some money in it. The bell rings again and I look at the clock to see it’s 7:30pm so I grab Colins jacket and take in his smell one more time and throw it over my shoulders. I push the button on the intercom.

“I’ll be down in a minute.” I grab the clutch and walk out of the door, locking it behind me. When I’m in the elevator I take a deep breath to calm down my heart rate. The doors open and through the glass front door I see a man in a suit and hat waiting for me.

“Good Evening miss, my name is William and I will be your driver for tonight.” He says in a real formal tone and bows his head a little bit.

“Thank you William, please call me Nora.” I reply with a smile and then he points with his arm to let me pass him by. When I look at the street I see a black limo and as I get to it William passes by to open the door for me.

“Please take a seat miss Nora.” Again in his formal tone and hesitantly I get in and give myself a moment to take it all in.

“A freaking limousine.” I mutter to myself. The limo drives up to the street and it takes about thirty minutes until we stop in front of a large building. When I look through the window I see Colin and his brothers standing on the sidewalk, turning their heads when they notice the limo has stopped in front of the building. William gets out of the limo and walks over to my door to open it, reaching out his hand to help me get out. When I glance up my eyes meet with Colins and I see his jaw clench before his Adam's apple moves clearly as he swallows hard. I feel my cheeks start to glow and my core heat up as I notice the tension between us.
