Chapter 017

1152 Words
ENZO'S POV. Dead drop silence. The room turned quiet and that was when I realized that I had just committed a huge blunder. I cleared my throat, my eyes wandering around while my head spinning with thoughts on how to salvage the situation and immediately I got an idea. "Got you!" I chuckled awkwardly trying to lighten the tension in the room as the guests turned to each other, then I continued my speech. "Isabella, you light up everywhere the moment you step in, and I do not want to do life without you so, will you do me the honor of marrying me?" I asked, stretching out the ring she handpicked for herself. Immediately the horror look on her face dissipated as a wide smile appeared on her lips, while a few squeals erupted from the crowd as Isabella kicked in with her drama, covering her face and screaming like this wasn't her entire doing. "I can't believe this!" She screamed, jumping around as she stretched out her hand and quickly I slipped the ring on her finger, with a forced smile as the crowd broke into a louder cheer then I stood up ready to receive their congratulations and fake heartfelt wishes as Isabella linked her arms with mine. Once we were done, the party was over and the guests were starting to leave, I signaled the waiter to come over so I can settle the bills when Isabella muttered, "Can't wait to go back to your w***e right?" "Don't talk about her like that" I countered, as the waiter approached us. "You don't need to settle the bill, I already took care of it, after all I arranged this all" she continued, flipping her hair as she turned to the side. "Then we can leave now?" I asked. "Not until you tell me why you said Sophia instead of my name! Have you lost it completely?" She retorted, gripping my arm tightly. Before the waiter could say anything, she dismissed him, "You aren't needed here, get out" "I called him Isabella!" I countered. "And?" I couldn't keep up with the fake smiles anymore and even though the restaurant was quite empty, some guests still lurked around and I didn't want to create an extra scene. Obviously we have had enough for the day so I dragged her out of the restraints straight to her car, where the driver was waiting. "You need to get your s**t together Isabella!" "Sounds like something you should be telling yourself, you almost ruined my night! Do you have any idea how much this proposal means to me?" She threw back at me, as her countenance changed. "You don't understand Isabella...." "I heard you Enzo, you can't deny that fact, if you don't get rid of her soon, I will be doing that on your behalf!" She retorted and then before I could even respond, she got into the car and they drove off. Stressed and Drained. Two words that defines me at the moment as I walked into my house. After Isabella left angrily, instead of heading home, I stopped at a bar for a quick fix and a space to clear my head while drowning in the husk of whiskey but unfortunately that didn't work.. How can it work? When all I think about is her, thousands of questions running through my mind and at the same time how to go about Isabella and just when I thought I was alone, the lights suddenly turned on and there she was; the bane of my obsession. Standing on the staircase with a peaceful look on her face, my eyes dragged down slowly taking in her nightwear. Nothing extra, just normal pajamas but on her, it just looked so sexy. "You are back" She muttered, walking down the stairs. "You didn't want me back?" I threw back at her, looking away as I toyed with my wrist watch while trying to distract my mind. "You don't look gleeful" She added. "And I wonder what the reason could be" I countered. "For someone that just got engaged you sound bitter, when are you letting me go? I cannot stand being the other woman in her story" She stated in annoyance. Gibberish. Everytime she talks about me letting her go, I swear my blood boils, a different kind of anger consumes me that I loose control completely. "Engaged?" I scoffed. "You wanted to keep it away from me right? But unfortunately for you, social media exists, the magical proposal is everywhere, so you might just let me go before your wedding!" She added. "Wedding?! Wanna know something funny about that magical proposal?" I yelled, closing the distance between us as I stared into her soul. "You..." "I got on my knees and I asked the question Sophia, and instead of asking Isabella to marry me, I mentioned your name, you wanna know why?" I shouted, grabbing her arm as I pulled her closer, her face covered with shock as her mouth fell open. She was stunned. Lost of words, and confused. "No..no" "While I sat down there at dinner, listening to Isabella yap about her stuffs, all I could think about was you, I tried to picture what you were doing at home and I got carried away and for that I'm in a big mess, deeper than you can ever imagine, but that doesn't mean I'm ready to let you go!" I said in one breath as silence covered the entire room. No movement, no words spoken for a minute as we both got lost in our eyes and when I couldn't take it anymore, I tilted her jaw and then I kissed her. Sweet, slow. Savouring the taste of her delicate lips as I struggled keeping my control in check, but the more I kissed her, the more she wanted and before I knew what was happening, the kiss deepened as Sophia threw her arms around my neck, her body meeting with mine. I could feel her on me as my pulses spiked up and I came up for air, breathing heavily on her lips, "I want you," I muttered, running my thumb across her lips. "Enzo.." "I know you want me Sophia, I can feel it..." I whispered. For a second she didn't react and the next second, she stepped back. Fear gripped me as I felt bitter for a second, not until she started stripping, taking her sweet time to torture me but I couldn't wait anymore, before she could undo her pants, I covered the distance between us as I stopped her. "Let me" I said slowly, removing her hands and then I dropped on my knees, my fingers playing around her waist band. "What are you doing Enzo?" "I want to worship you, and show you just how much you mean to me" I answered, dragging her pants down slowly.
