Caught between two Millionaires

Back to reality

On the flight back home, I couldn’t help but reflect on how amazing the past week had been .No time away from each other. Besides the little time I spent working on my computer as per Leo’s arrangement with my boss, we spent every moment together.

I always considered myself a culinary taste expert. I loved tasting good food. Not that I couldn’t cook mind you. I was able to make a mean risotto among other dishes, but I loved eating food that I didn’t have to prepare, especially delicious food prepared by an excellent chef. My dad spoiled us rotten and took us to the best places to eat back home in Atlanta and throughout the States whenever we traveled. I however was taken aback by the many culinary tastes I got to experience with my gorgeous boyfriend. I think I gained a few pounds after all that delicious food!

Apart from the food, I got to experience Italy in a way that exceeded my dreams. As cheesy as this sounds I loved the Gondola rides in Venice. Besides the gorgeous views being on the Gondola with Leo was so romantic. We did so much in one week it was hard to believe. The pizza at St Mark’s square was honestly the best pizza I’ve ever had! Here I am thinking about food again.

“Are you okay love? “Leo asked with concern in his eyes. That’s when I realize that I have been ignoring my hunk for who knows how long while day dreaming about him Venice and food. “Sorry babe. I guess you caught me daydreaming,” “Daydreaming? About who?” Leo asks with an arched eyebrow. “You,” I shyly say.

Before we knew it we were back in my apartment. It was already late in the afternoon. Leo spent a few minutes with me before leaving. He had an important meeting tomorrow morning and had to prepare for his presentation. I was exhausted and needed to take a power nap before putting some work in. “I’ll bring you lunch at the office tomorrow,” I offered before kissing Leo goodbye. “I’d love that!” Leo grinned sexily before leaving whispered seductively in my ear, “Dream of me.” Goosebumps covered my entire body. I hoped he hadn’t noticed.

Leo had smartly gotten me a day off to recover from my trip but didn’t think of himself. Oh that sweet man of mine! On the to do list today I was going to cook Leo lunch. I think we both could do with some home cooked food considering the previous week’s food  escapades.  I thought of making Parmesan risotto with shrimp but then changed my mind because of it being too Italian considering the fact that we had been indulging in these sorts of meals for the entire week. I settled on pork chops cooked in a port wine sauce with some roasted veg and a side salad. I got out of bed brushed my teeth washed my face and began prepping for lunch.

While cooking I turned on the radio and danced to a beat of the music playing. Soon the aroma of my cooking filled the kitchen and I couldn’t wait to tuck into this deliciousness. After cooking I quickly had a shower and changed.As I packed the containers in a carry bag, I glanced at the clock. Perfect timing. I quickly made my way to Leo’s office and when I got there I was met by the rudest blonde.

“Sorry, not interested. Please leave,” it sounded like some sort of whining. “Excuse me? “I was taken aback by her lack of politeness considering that Leo’s firm was one of the largest in Atlanta you would think his secretary would have more manners. “What?” she replies rudely. “I’m here to see Leo, “I reply between clenched teeth. “There’s no one by that name sorry, “she blurts out. “Leonard Jackson. I’m his girlfriend Andrea.” “Oh he didn’t mention anything about you wait,” she picks up the phone and in the sweetest voice ever that made me want to throw up say “Hi Sir there’s a lady named Andrea here to see you…Oh I see. Okay will let her in now. “Turning to me she then says “Mr Jackson will see you now.” I could almost swear that she looked at me up and down in disgust. I wonder what her problem is. I think I should mention it to Leo but after we eat. Talking about her now would just ruin my appetite.   

“Hi babe! Sorry I forgot to tell Michelle that you will be coming in today. With the hectic morning I had. I’m so glad to see you. You look gorgeous by the way. “Leo then kisses me and we then enjoy each other’s company as well as the meal together. “Wow babe. This is amazing. Your cooking is awesome.” “Glad you enjoyed it.” Leo looked drop dead gorgeous in his suit. He had taken off his coat but looked hot in his waistcoat, formal shirt and pants which showed off his fit sexy physique. “See something you like?” Leo then grabs me and starts passionately kissing me and pulls me onto his lap. Suddenly the door barges open. “What the hell?” Leo almost growls.” In walks Vince Leo’s best friend. “Don’t you knock man?” Leo asked his friend with annoyance written all over his face. “Sorry man, “Vince who was as visibly embarrassed. “Michelle let me in. She said that you weren’t busy. It started to make sense now. Michelle was being rude to me because she probably has a thing for Leo. It didn’t bother me though because I am secure in my relationship, besides Leo is a handsome, successful businessman. He most likely had a few admirers so what? He belonged to me and that’s what mattered. Leo grabs the phone and yells “I will deal with you later.” The tone Leo used on Michelle was scary and intimidating. It made me feel very uncomfortable and I hoped to never make him that angry.
