The Vindication Gents

Chapter 2.21

Christina Dobulski’s POV

My head was throbbing loudly as I was tossing and turning in my sleep. My eyes were being hit by sunlight and I was groaning in my sleep.

“Bella, if you don’t get out now, I will make you,” a voice that has been haunting my dreams since I was in Italy was being so close to my ears. I groaned again as I was pulling the pillow to hide my face. The voice chuckled.

“Christina,” it said, and before I knew it, it was too surreal to be a dream and when I opened my eyes, Tony was smirking in front of my face.

“Argh!” I shouted before I stepped away from him. He was amused by my reaction before I looked around the room. This was not my room, this was…

“Glad you finally wake up to join me for breakfast,” Tony said as he was pouring some tea into the cups as he was looking at me. I was looking down on my body. I was fully clothed, which meant I did not do anything stupid last night.

What a bummer. Wait, why was I saying that?

“So, care to join me?” Tony asked as he was sipping on the tea at the table that was set up with our breakfast.

“Let me wash up a bit,” I said before I scurried away to the bathroom. It was humiliating as I was looking at my hot messed state. I want to kill myself right now.

After I washed my face and brushed my teeth, I tried to make my hair look manageable as I went out of the room. Tony smiled at me as he was pulling the chair for me to sit on.

“Thank you,” I said as I went to put some napkins on my lap. I went to get some French toast before Tony was scooping some scrambled eggs and handing it to me.

“I can get it myself, you know,” I said as I was chuckling at his sweet behavior. I cannot believe that he is being so sweet right now.

“I know but I want to do it for you,” he said as he was scooping some more for himself before he set it in front of him. My heart swelled at the gesture.

“So, do you want some tea or maybe orange juice?” He asked as he was staring at me. I cleared my throat as my heart was beating so fast that I was sure he could hear it. If he did, he did not say anything.

“Tea would be fine, thank you,” I said before he nodded at me. I was looking at his elegant, graceful fingers as they were pouring the tea before he put one cube of sugar in it.

“Can you make two?” I said as he arched his eyebrows at me before he put another one on and stirred it. After he was satisfied with it, he gave it to me and I thanked him.

“So, do you remember anything from last night?” He asked, as I knew that was the million-dollar question. I wondered how I got here as well.

“Um, I just remembered that I was having such a good time with Nina before she excused herself to attend something. Then I remembered that I was taking another glass of champagne and—“ I stopped as the memory has been so vivid in my mind right now.

I was shouting and dancing and drinking. I did not have a care in the world before Tony came to grab me, more like scooped me in his arms and we went to the car. I was seated at the back before I pulled him close and I was whispering something to him.

“Kiss me,” the words echoed in my head as I was blinking at Tony, who was staring at me right then.

“So?” He asked, as I could feel the blood rushing toward my face right now. How humiliating that was!

“I…I…I…” I stammered before Tony got up and leaned at me as the food was on the table. His hands were gripping the table as I was leaning back on my seat.

“So, do you remember?” He was amused as his smirk lingered at his lips. I think I hated that smirk right now, but he pulled it off so well that it looked good on his handsome face.

“Yes,” I said timidly as I was looking into his caramel orbs. He was searching for something in my eyes as he was looking deeply into my soul.

“Do you mean it?” He asked as I was blinking at him.

“What?”

“Last night at the back of the car, do you mean what you said to me?” He asked one more time before I was looking into his eyes. It was warm and had something in it. Something that I have been wanting him to have.

“If I said yes, what would you do?” I asked him boldly before he smirked even wider.

“What do you want me to do, Christina?” He asked as he was leaning closer and closer to me. I drew a sharp breath.

“Well, I…I wanted to do what I asked you last night,” I replied before he was chuckling at my answer.

“Then, I should do it now,” he said and with that, he pulled my nape with his hand as he pulled me closer to him. I stood up from the seat before snaking my arms around his neck as he was kissing me.

I think I smiled at that kiss.

“I have been waiting for you to confess for so long,” he said as he was perking my lips.

“Why?”

“Well, I don’t usually date my employees, but for you, bella, I make an exception,” he said as he was caressing my cheeks with his thumbs. I was looking at him as I was blinking.

“Does that mean I’m special then?” I said as I was smiling at him. He laughed a genuine one that I hadn’t heard in a while.

“Well, you can say that,” he said before he kissed me again. And I think he smiled as well in that kiss.

So, there you have it. Our confession to each other. I was so happy that I kept on glancing at him while we were having breakfast together. Whenever our hands touched to get something on the table, we would make eye contact before I blushed and I pulled my hands. Tony just laughed at my reaction. He thought it was cute.

So, right now, we were in his private jet on the way back to Milan. I was sitting in front of him as always before. Nina and the others were sitting elsewhere. The flight attendant wanted to give me a flute of champagne before Tony stopped her.

“Not on my watch, you will not have another liquor,” he said before the flight attendant went to get a glass of orange juice for me and the champagne was for Tony himself.

“Jerk,” I mumbled in Hungarian before he just winked at me. I rolled my eyes at him.

After we landed in Milan, the other assistants and Nina went back to their cars as I was car-less. I don’t even have a driver’s license.

“After you,” Tony said as he was holding the door for me as I was smiling at him. At least with our feelings cleared with each other now, I don’t have to worry about anything.

Well, except for one thing, my true identity was found.

“Why thank you, my gentleman,” I said as I was caressing his cheek before I went inside. He closed the door and went to the driver’s seat and sped off from the hangar as I was thinking maybe he would drop me off at the hotel.

But how wrong was I?

He was making a turn at the junction that was supposed to go to his boutique. My hotel was in the same way as its boutique.

“Where are we going?” I asked him as he was making another turn.

“Home,” he said simply. I blinked at him as I could sense that my anger was trying to get the best of me. I needed to calm down. I needed to stay focused.

“But my hotel’s that way, in the other direction,” I said. Tony shrugged.

“Isn’t your two-week stay done?” He asked as he turned to look at me briefly before he turned to look at the road again.

Holy s**t! I forgot about that.

“But my stuff—“

“Has already been moved by my men. You don’ t have to worry about it,” he said as he turned left.

“But where will I be staying now?” I asked him before I caught a glimpse of his smirk.

“That’s easy. Since we have feelings for each other, I think it would be wise for my PA, and my lover, to be in the same house as me,” he said as he was smiling at me briefly before he turned to look at the road.

We were parking in front of the biggest house that I have ever seen in my life. Even my mansion was not this big.

“Master Tony, welcome home, sir,” the butler was looking at Tony as if he was a God or something.

“Thank you and may I present to you the future Mrs. Romano, Christina. Christina, this is my butler. If you have any concern, you can address it to him,” he said as I was looking at the butler. I never knew that Tony was rich.

Well, okay, maybe I get the gist, but not like that. As if he were an aristocrat or something.

“Ah, my darling, you’re home,” a voice was coming from the house and when I saw it, it was no doubt Tony’s mum.

I think I was not ready to meet my mother-in-law.
