Behind Closed Doors
1122 Words
By the time dinner was over, Olivia was so stuffed she couldn't move. Esmeralda kept insisting that she had more food. In all honesty, Olivia couldn't turn her down. The woman was such a nice person.
No one was around to save her from this as Giovanni and Antonio had gone for a walk
“Let me show you to your bedroom ma'am” A maid dressed in a uniform came to tell her in the middle of her deciding how she would carry herself up the stairs
Every maid in the mansion was at Olivia's beck and call. This was under Esmeralda's orders
She was shown to one of the many rooms in the mansion, and the first thing she did was to throw herself on the king size bed, stretching out her arms as wide as possible.
It felt good to be left alone to her own privacy.
This was a life she could grow fond of. Except for one thing. Giovanni would always be around to remind her of their contract.
Her mind wandered to places it shouldn't have to. Duncan. The club. The murder.
She shook her head trying to put away thoughts of why she ended up here in the first place.
“A good shower will do” She muttered to herself and started to undress, anticipating the feel of a nice warm bath.
Nothing prepared her for Giovanni walking into the room to find her in her lace underwears
“Can't you knock?!” Olivia yelled out as she desperately tried to pull back her dress on.
Giovanni hesitated before turning his back to her.
“This is my house, in case you've forgotten” He blurted out, not sure of what to say
“What do you want?” She asked, obviously irritated by his attitude
“We need to talk. Is it safe to turn back around now?” He asked cautiously
“Sure” Olivia gave the go ahead with her dress fully on this time
He turned back to find the frown still etched on her face.
“It's my father. I don't think he buys our marriage story” He stated, worry evident on his face
“What are we going to do now? How do we convince him that we're married?” Olivia asked with a look of concern on her face
An idea crept into his mind suddenly.
“If we consummate the marriage, that should do the trick, right?” Giovanni questioned.
Olivia couldn't believe her ears. What was he asking of her right now
“There's no way in hell I'm having s*x with you” Olivia let out in utter displeasure
She was doing this for the sole purpose of what she could get from him. s*x wasn't part of the deal and nothing could change her mind. She was convinced that she would rather burn in hell.
“Relax blondie. There's no way I'm f*****g you either. But we can make him, and everyone else believe that we did,” he said.
And for the first time ever, Olivia could catch a hint of amusement on his face
“How?” Olivia questioned
“Just play along and make those noises. You know, the kind of noises you make when you're.. “
“You want me to fake moans?” Olivia inquired
“Yes. Very loudly”
“Is there a limit to your absurd requests? I'm already pretending to be your wife and now you want me to pretend that you're f*****g me?”
“Look I want to get this over with even more than you do. And the earlier we get this done, the better” Giovanni explained. He was desperate to get the old man off his back and was willing to do anything to achieve that.
“Fine!” She agreed and took her place on the bed while Giovanni stood by the other other side of the bed
"I can't believe we're doing this" Olivia muttered
He made a fist and plunged it to the bed frame, a loud thud filling the room
“Oh yes!” Olivia screamed as she managed to make out a sultry voice that made her cringe inwardly
Giovanni nodded, “Keep going” He said hitting the furniture again
“Oh Giovanni! Fill me up baby”
“Oh God I love this! Yes!”
“f**k me hard Giovanni! You're so big”
Olivia kept on screaming. To make it seem more realistic, she got up and started to jump on the bed. The bed made squeaky sounds and she continued to yell.
Outside the door, Olivia's voice could be heard through the hallway.
The maids swallowed their giggles and made jokes in hushed tones and flushed cheeks.
“Sounds like they're having a good time,” Antonio said to his wife as they both stood at the end of the grand staircase leading up to the rooms
Esmeralda who had left what she was doing when she heard the noise, rushed to the staircase in fear that something had gone wrong. But as soon as she made out the voices, she needed no explanation.
“I guess so” Esmeralda muffled a laugh. The couple exchanged mischievous smiles.
"He hasn't brought another girl home since Emilia left him. I think he's really happy with her Antonio" Esmeralda said softly
Antonio found the truth in her words. This was the first girl Giovanni let to breathe in the same space as him since his ex girlfriend.
"You're right, my love. I just want our son to see him happy before-"
"I know my love. It's okay. He'll figure it out. But you should rest now" Esmeralda said cutting him short before he could finish off his sentence
She pulled him away from the scene.
Back in the room, Giovanni couldn't take it any more and his body collapsed to the bed, almost dying of laughter
“Giovanni, you're so big? Really?” He asked in a whisper.
Olivia tried to hide her shock. It was the first time she had seen him laugh
For a reason unknown to her, his laughter stirred something in her.
She let out a nervous laughter as well
“Your idea, not mine” She put up her hands
Giovanni paused to think for a second. Beneath all that crazy, he could spot an interesting personality.
“You know Olivia, we could be good friends. It'll make working together easier” He put out his hand for a handshake
Olivia couldn't agree more. He could be a jerk sometimes but he wasn't a bad person
“Of course,” She said, taking his hand in hers.
