LUCIUS DEVINE
We spent quite a lot of time in the room, doing nothing but hugging for a while before we finally took a bath in the building.
We were dressed up now and about to step out of the building.
“It still feels great” I said as we stepped out of the building.
“What?” Lisa asked, almost quietly.
“It still feels great that I told you about my feelings because now I can say I love you to you countless times without holding myself back.” I replied and she blushed softly.
Fuck! She looks beautiful!
It fucking hurt that she wanted me to wait a week but I was shutting myself off from all emotions at the moment. I didn’t want to feel too much.
“Remember this, Kekaki.” I turned to face her squarely.
“You only have to tell me what you think will get in your way of loving me and I will deal with it” I said to her, hoping she would tell me whatever reason she was holding back.
“Alright, daddy” she whispered and I pulled her into mt chest.
She buried her face in my chest and I breathed in her beautiful scent, holding her tightly to myself.
She pulled away from the hug first and looked into my eyes. She stared into my eyes like she could see more than just my eyes. Like she could see all of me. Her looking at me that way made me feel fucking loved and yet fucking bare in her sight. If I bared myself to her, she would run away from me and never be mine. With that thought intruding into my head, I broke the eye contact.
“I have to go now. It’s late and I have to be in school tomorrow” she said.
“I hope you love my gift” she added with a smile.
“I will definitely love your gift but the biggest gift you can give me will be in a week from now so I will look forward to that more” I pulled at her cheek lightly.
She giggled and snuck her hand into mine. We walked out of my home and stopped in front of hers.
“I will go in now” she whispered as she stopped, kicking her feet cutely.
“No goodnight kiss?” I demanded, bending a bit over.
“A goodnight kiss after we just fucked?” She asked in a whisper, taking a step closer to me.
“One round. Even if we went five rounds, a goodnight kiss is still necessary, Kekaki.”
She looked behind me as if to ensure no one was watching before she got on her toes and kissed me on the lips but only shortly. I licked my lips.
“Tasty. You are sweet.”
“You too” she replied in a whisper and licked her own lips too.
Fuck! She looked so good and so adorable.
A smirk appeared in the corner of my lips.
“I will leave now” she said hurriedly and turned to leave but I grabbed her hand.
She looked back at me, with questioning eyes.
“Lisa” I groaned her name. I just didn’t want to let go of her.
“I don’t want to let go of you, Cupcake. I don’t want to ever have to see you walk away from me. But soon…” I caressed her hand, feeling the softness of her hands.
“Soon, you will be mine. In a week, you will be mine.” I added and she gave me a feisty look with an almost stern look on her face. But that look was so fucking adorable.
“Aren’t you scared I might reject you in a week?” She asked.
“You won’t” I replied confidently.
“How are you so sure?” She questioned.
“I don’t know how I am so sure but I am sure. You could say the words right now and have us celebrate my birthday and our anniversary on the same days but I don’t mind celebrating it a week apart. Having two events makes it better” I lifted her hand to my lips and kissed it.
“Goodnight, Cupcake.”

“Fuck” I cursed underneath my breath as I stormed off into my room with Bella and Andro walking in behind me.
“Stay back” I said to the both of them before walking into my room and slamming the door shut.
This night had not gone the way I had wanted it to. Did I tell her about my feelings? Yes. But did I do it in the way I had planned to? No!
Damn no.
I took another glance at my room. The bed, the floor, they all had a romantic feel. Roses, candles and all adorned my room. There was a bouquet of roses and a bouquet of white tulips on the bed.
I glanced at my bedside table, more specifically at the box of ring that was there. I had wanted to put a ring on her finger badly this night.
Would it have been different if I hadn’t lost it in there and told her? Would it have been different if I had carried her into my arms and brought her here into my room? Would it have been different if I had filled this place up with designer bags, shoes and every fucking accessories any woman could own? Would it have been different if I was a bit more patient and brought her to my room before telling her how much I love her.
“Shit” I cursed and ran a hand through my hair, pulling at it for a few seconds.
“A week more” I mumbled, trying to calm myself.
A week was nothing. Just seven days and I would get a response from her. A response I was most certain would be a yes.
There was no way she was going to say no. Her hesitation is because of how our relationship looks like to others but a week would prove to her that it doesn’t fucking matter and others don’t really care too about what two adults do with their lives.
For now, I had to clear my room of all the decorations. I pulled the door open and stepped out to see Bella and Andro still by the door.
“How did it go?” I asked, my gaze resting on Bella.
“I… Not so well, Boss” she bowed and my gaze raised.
“Andro, solve the issue with Bella.” I ordered.
“Yes, boss”
“And whatever it is should be solved in less than twenty four hours or else you both…” I looked at the both of them.
“Understood, boss”
“Good. Andro, ask the butler to send someone over to clean my room”
“Yes, boss.”
The Next Day
MONALISA
‘I love you’
How many times has those words replayed in my head today since last night? A thousand times, maybe?
Damn, it almost distracted me from my papers.
‘I love you, Kekaki’
A small smile played on my lips as I alighted from the car, the door held open by one of Lucius men. He had asked one of them to pick me up from school. I would have loved it more if he had come pick me up personally but he said he was really busy.
I am not complaining about anything though. I walked into our home and mum was seated on the sofa, a smile on her face as she dropped the glass of wine in her hand on the table.
“Come over here” she waved at me with wide smiles and I hurried over to her.
“Mum” I called, rushing over to her and dropping the bag I had been holding.
“You are back” She pouted a bit.
“And you are home too. Thankfully” I chuckled.
“I am taking your advice and getting off work earlier”
“Finally, doesn’t it feel good to watch TV while sipping wine?” I asked and she laughed.
“It feels good but you know mum is trying to earn a lot so we can be on our own soon”
On our own. I had almost forgotten that mum had made those plans with me. I had never gone for a part time job and honestly, why would I?
I literally had a million dollar vase sitting pretty in my vase. And just two days ago, my closet had been emptied and filled yet again. It was filled with designers that would pay a thousand part timers.
I could just finish with college and then get a proper job.
“Lisa?” Mum called, noticing I had gone silent for a few seconds.
“Oh” I got back to my senses.
“Mum, I have a few questions to ask you” I adjusted in my seat.
“Oh, really? Go on” mum adjusted.
“Okay, so there’s this friend of mine. The one I told you about the other time”
“Oh yes, what about her?”
“She’s contemplating a relationship with a man” I paused for a second, wondering how I would explain without giving myself away.
“And?”
“But this man is about 15 years older than she is. He loves her though and she kind of… I think she loves him too but she doesn’t know what to do”
“He loves her?” Mum asked and I nodded.
“And she loves him?”
“Well, I think she does” I played with my fingers, saying the words.
“If she loves him, then she should go for it. Nothing wrong with an age gap relationship. They are both adults who love each other so what else are they waiting for?”
“You think age gap relationships are quite cool too?” I asked, wanting to hear it again.
“Of course. Any relationship with love and two consenting adults is cool” she replied.
“I know, right? I already told her so” I mumbled, leaning my back into the sofa and turning my gaze to the TV.
Mum was okay with the scenario. That meant she would be fine with it if I and Lucius started dating, right?
I felt my heart swell with a type of joy and then my heart beat hard.
Heavens! These sweet and tingly feelings have literally tripled since last night.
“I am going to go take a shower, mum” I said, picking up my bag and getting on my feet.
“Alright, love.”
I walked over to my room, each step accompanied by my madly pounding heart. Shit! Was I having a heart attack?
My heart was racing so much. I got into my room, shut the door behind me and leaned against the door. Bright smiles were on my face.
Mum was going to be quite supportive and everything was going to be just perfect between Lucius and I!
I couldn’t stop the giggle. How could I not love that man anyways? He was… He was just everything I could ever want.
And he was going to be the first man I knew personally and not through Francesca.
With silly steps, I approached my bed, dropped my bag and dropped onto my bed.
“Fuck, Lisa” I giggled into my pillow.
My phone beeped with a message and I instantly grabbed my bag, fishing my phone out.
It was a message from him.
‘I have something for you, agapi mou. Be out in exactly an hour from now’
I quickly sat up to text him back.
‘What do you have for me? I already have everything in surplus. I look like a freaking model everyday’ I texted him back.
‘And that’s so not enough for you, Cupcake. Will be expecting you in an hour. I love you’
Those last three words. I spent minutes staring at them.
‘I love you’
I loved those words already. Especially when they came from him.
And I couldn’t wait to say those words back to him tonight! To tell him how much I loved him and throw myself onto him.
