Chapter 24

Book:The Billionaire's Choice Published:2024-6-2

If you told me last week that I would be standing in the kitchen with Renzo baking a cake you should expect that I’ll laugh right in your face.
We woke up at around 10 in the morning and were instantly rushing around the apartment. Renzo decided to tell me that we were going out for a barbecue since it was Andre’s birthday.
Marcia then proceeded to tell me that because I didn’t have a gift I would have to bake his birthday cake. Since she had forgotten.
” how are we going to make a big cake when you haven’t got an electric whisk?” I say as I searched his kitchen for any type of electric whisk.
” its called a wooden spoon baby. Look I’ll do that since I’m the one with the strength” he says cheekily waving two wooden spoons in the air. I only ignore him and carry on.
” we have less than two hours to do this and be ready Renzo, stop playing around” I try and act serious, as he dances around the kitchen the mixing bow in his arms.
“Cmon baby, sing it with me” he bellows as the chorus for bohemian rhapsody comes up. I had to burst out laughing at this point. This man is truly crazy.
I stood behind him as he bent down to pull the cake out of the oven. It was 11. 30 now and we had about 20 minutes before we needed to be out of the apartment.
” look at that beauty,” he said turning around and placing it gently on the counter. We had made a chocolate and velvet chocolate cake. A recipe that was taken from Nigella Lawson. She is the only woman I trust when it comes to desserts.
I jump excitedly beside him as I see the fully formed cake that we made.
We would let it set whilst we get ready and then we would decorate it. No idea how I’m going to do that but I’m sure I will think of something.
Suddenly I felt Renzo grab my hips in his hands and haul me over his shoulder. He started running across the apartment heading for the shower.
2 in 1 seems like a good idea.
“we’re showering no funny business,” I say prodding him in the back as he closes the bathroom door behind him. He doesn’t say anything as he strips of his clothes and I do the same.
From the mirror I catch the small smirk he was wearing as he removed his boxers.
“no, I’ll shower after on second thought,” I say already reaching for the door to get out before I regret this decision.
” no you will not,” he says pulling my body back and pushing me into the shower. Lucky for him he had a really big shower so it wasn’t going to be a squeeze or anything.
With a close eye on him, I proceeded to wash my hair and scrub my body with soap. Renzo was doing the same but he had his lustful gaze on me as I slid my hands over my body.
It didn’t take long until he was stroking his cock as he watched me.
I rolled my eyes at him before walking over to him and taking over for him. “make it quick, before you see your mother with an erection” I say turning around and bending over.
I didn’t have to look at him to know he was grinning ear to ear.
Automatically I felt his body up against me before he pushed in me and started to move inside me. ” it’s your fault for looking so sexy naked” he said as he took a handful of my hair and started to kiss my neck.
After he took the soap and washed me again, he finally started cleaning up the mess he made.
I carefully carried the cake into the car as Renzo grabbed a bottle of wine from the house before slipping into the car. I checked my watch and realised that we had 5 minutes to get there which was impossible.
Once we did arrive at Marcia’s place we rushed out of the car careful not to drop the cake and walked up to the front door.
Andre opened the door after a few seconds. He looked smart and casual with jeans and a black blazer that covered his pristine white button-down top.
” Oh good, you’re here. Everyones in the back” he said already walking away from the door. I stared at the door dumbfounded.
It was a matter of seconds before he poked his head around again.
“is that mine” he was eying the cake we had made for him.
Renzo just laughed patting him on the back. “all yours mate” he said grabbing my hand and pulling me into the house.
“happy birthday, ” I said wrapping my arms briefly around him and kissing him on the cheek.
Inside there was a lot of people some I recognised as the family of Marcia and others I didn’t recognise. I’m guessing that they were family and friends of Andre.
Renzo left to speak with a few people whilst I made my way over to Marcia. She was talking amongst a few people when she saw me approach her table.
” Oh good you finally made it, ” she said pulling me in for a hug.
” right ladies. This is Kristina not only is she a fantastic blogger but she is also the woman that is taming my brother” in her last comment the girls laugh out loud.
” boy definitely needs a taming,” I said smiling down at them. They seemed to like that statement as they all laughed.
The girls were really nice. They asked me about my blog and also about Renzo. They wanted details which I only gave a little of.
My next trip was over to Nathaniel. He was surrounded by men which included Renzo and Andre.
Drinking beers as usual.
As soon as I walked over. Renzo sat further back in his seat beckoning me over.
I shook my head at him before sitting next to Andre. There was a spare seat there anyway.
” the cake was lovely, ” Nathaniel said to me. He had a plate of said cake on his lap.
Andre agreed. Which I was relieved for.
Everyone seemed to be calm tonight, it was an atmosphere that filled my empty heart. Amber was my own real family before I met Lorenzo and his big family.
“let’s get this straight honey, I did not have cold feet” Nathaniel objects bringing me back into the conversation.
After a while marcia comes over to join us.
“are we talking about how dad was late to his own wedding” she chirps placing herself on the end of one of the chairs. Loretta was smiling ear to ear, its like she was just remembering everything.
I looked at him appalled.
“it’s alright dad, it’s a big commitment marrying mom, she’s a handful” Lorenzo buts in coming into my dad’s defence.
He seemed happy with his son coming to his side.
“like your any better” Loretta says arching her eyebrow almost as if she was challenging him.
This was gold.
I watch fondly as Nathaniel grabs Loretta’s hand placing a kiss on it. He turns to Andre. “we had a toxic relationship son, but women like my wife and my daughter make it worth the fight” okay can someone get me a tissue.
No lie, I felt a tear roll down my cheek.
Shit, I went to go wipe it away as quickly as I could but it already caught the attention of not only Loretta but Lorenzo.
I excused myself as I saw Lorenzo making his way round to me. I gladly let him help me up as he wrapped his arm around me. “Happy birthday Andre, thanks for having me” I said bending down to give him a hug.
“No worries. You’re always welcome to drop by you know keep this one company stop her from going crazy” he joked nudging marcia who only glares at him.
I only laugh before sending a silent wave to everyone and letting Lorenzo lead me out of the house and to his car.
When Lorenzo started driving I didn’t expect him to take me to my place. I would have liked to spend the night with him.
“don’t be upset baby, we’re just picking up some things” he says pulling up to my house. I noticed that amber was home.
What does he mean by that.
As soon as I got inside I quickly noticed a suitcase sitting in the hallway. Next to it was a beaming Rachel who looked way too excited.
“what’s going on?” I asked her walking over.
“I’m taking you away for a few days Tina, rachel graciously packed you a bag” I turned to him, is he serious. How does he have the time to leave when He’s about to win the championship.
“If this is about what happened recently its fine, we’re fine we can’t afford to leave town right now Lorenzo you know that” I say my voice raising slightly.
I hear Rachel leave the room quickly. Renzo watches me carefully before advancing towards me.
I felt his hand snake around my waist pulling me in.
“This is about us yes. We need to leave spend some time out of this city away from the media. I want to get to know you better, know more about your family, your interests and most importantly your body” I blush at the mention of it. What more does he need to know.
“But your championship” I object.
He smiles at me. “my next race is in two weeks baby. I just want 3-4 days with you” I hesitate not liking the idea but also loving it at the same time.
He really is trying bless him.
“okay” I say sighing but also with a smile on my face.
Rachel was basically pushing me out the door when she heard me agree with his plans. Lorenzo thanked amber and exited the door heading for the car.
