Caught between two Millionaires

A flourishing relationship

If I said things between Leo and I were going great that would be an understatement. It was fantastic! Our second date led to our third and fourth date. Six months later we are a stable couple.

Leo has been the most amazing boyfriend. He has understood that due to my lack of experience in relationships I wasn’t ready to have s*x with him as yet. He lovingly told me that I was worth waiting for. Today is my birthday. I wonder what the day holds in store.

As if on cue my phone rings. I smile to see Leo’s name flashing on the screen. Excitedly I answer only to hear him singing Happy Birthday to me in that sexy voice of his that made my heart skip a beat. “Aren’t you going to open the door for me?” Leo says mischievously. “What? You’re here? “I exclaim running to the door forgetting that I look like a hot mess with bed hair. Only when Leo leans in to kiss me I shriek. “Give me 5 minutes,” as I run into the bathroom, brush my teeth, wash my face and brush my hair. “Okay where were we?” I say as I grab my sexy boyfriend and give him a long, passionate kiss. “Hold on you haven’t even seen your presents as yet,” Leo giggles while handing me my presents one at a time. As usual he hands me a large bouquet of red and white roses. This time however the white roses spelled the word LOVE. “Oh Leo! It’s so beautiful. Next he hands boxes of my favourite chocolate and finally my main present. Woah! Plane tickets and hotel reservations for Venice Italy the place I dreamed of someday visiting with the love of my life.  Tears fill my eyes and begin to flood my face. Leo is surprised. “Andrea, if you don’t want to go, its fine. I understand it may be a bit much seeing as we have only been dating for six months. I did this because I love you Andrea I really do. I noticed that postcard of Venice that you have stuck on your fridge. I thought instead of having a postcard on your fridge maybe you could put up a picture of us in Venice. Oh I’m so sorry I..” I interrupt Leo by placing my finger on his lips. “I’m not crying because I’m upset. These are tears of joy you silly.” Leo’s sexy grin is back on and I can’t help but admire how gorgeous he looks with his grin showcasing his dimples. Indeed I am the luckiest woman alive.

I look at the tickets again and my heart drops. The date of departure is today. There was no way I could leave not if I wanted to keep my job. A whole week right in the middle of an important campaign, impossible!  “Leo, the date! I can’t go. I am just starting out in my career so I can’t afford to lose my job. I …” I stop midsentence as Leo bursts out laughing. I look at him all confused. I thought he had wanted me to go on this trip with him but seeing his reaction to what I just told him has me so confused right now. Does he not want me to go along?

Seeing my confusion Leo explained, “Love everything has been arranged with your boss. Let’s just say we have played golf a few times in the past. Anyway I did say that I would ensure that you had at least two free hours every day so you could reply to emails and have discussions on Zoom or Skype. If you don’t believe me check your email.” Lo and behold there was an email from our secretary wishing me a wonderful journey and providing me with the work that I would need to get done during the week.

“I need to pack!” I squealed with delight “No need to. That’s your second surprise. With the help of Sarah and your mum I got you a suitcase of new clothes. Happy birthday baby” Leo seductively says before grabbing me in a hot kiss.

Soon its time to leave. I spend the entire flight telling Leo how much this means to me. Once our flight lands, we are fetched from the airport by hotel staff. While I sit in the lounge area of the hotel lobby Leo checks us in. Soon he returns with our room key and scoops me in his arms bridal style. I blush looking at the people around us.  

The view from our room was amazing. I could see the Rialto Bridge and the Grand Canal. This view was what dreams were made off. I showered and got ready for diner. Leo did the same.

The restaurant was gorgeous overlooking the canal. Our waiter was incredibly sweet and funny and gave us ideas of things to do while visiting Italy. Although we were staying in Venice, we did plan on seeing more of Italy. Time seemed to stand still. Dreams really do come true. In this moment I really couldn’t ask for more. After having a delicious dinner. which consisted of starters, mains and dessert, we made our way back to our room.

There were scented candles lit all over the room. Rose petals were scattered all over the bed. A bottle of champagne and a small tray containing strawberries dipped in chocolate were left at the side table in the room. “Open up?” Leo says as he feeds me a strawberry sensually. I do the same for him. We then each have a glass of champagne and before I could process anything else Leo grabbed me and kissed me passionately. He lays me on the bed and climbs on top of me kissing me all over. “Leo, I’m not ready.” I gasp even though it felt so good. “Trust me I have other ways,” Leo almost growls seductively.  Who knew intimacy without s*x could feel this good. Leo smiles at me and says, “Goodnight baby. Sweet dreams.” Indeed those dreams were sweet.
