Chapter 15: Chapter 15

Adrianna POV.

I walked towards the bartender.

"What can I offer you?" He asked with a smile and I gladly reciprocated.

"The strongest wine please," I said and he nodded his head before disappearing.

After a few, he came back and placed it in front of me. I looked at a chair which was there and I started drinking.

"What is a beautiful lady like you doing here alone?" Someone asked and I glanced at him. He is old and he thinks that he can flirt with me?

"What you can see her doing," I answered rudely and he seemed shocked by my answer.

His expression immediately changed and smiled. "Well then, let me join you," he said as he pulled the chair next to mine closer.

"Hello beautiful," I heard and I immediately recognized that voice. I turned and smiled at him innocently.

"Hello there. It seems that you dressed well tonight," I said with a grin.

"This is what happens when mom is around," he said with a smile.

"So does that make you a mommy's boy?" I asked teasingly and he chuckled.

"Yes, something like that," he said with amusement.

I can never get tired of staring at his perfect face.

"Ace, can't you see that I was having my time with her?" The man interrupted our staring competition since Vincenzo was also staring at me.

"Why can't you just figure out that I'm not interested in talking to you?" I asked the man.

"But beautiful…" I interrupted him.

"Just get lost already Raphael, you heard her," Vincenzo said in a cold voice making the man gulp.

"I….I…am sorry," he said and left hurriedly.

I rolled my eyes at his cowardness.

"Stop doing that?" Vincenzo said.

"What?" I asked because I was confused.

"Rolling your eyes," he said and I rolled them once more.

"You ain't my boss to tell me any shit," I said.

"Maybe not now but soon I will," he said.

"In your dreams," I told him with a challenging grin.

"Don't forget that you are wanted by the Italian mafia don," he said.

"Really? Where does he want me?" I asked.

"Because of the stunt you pulled two weeks ago," he said and I laughed when I remembered that. He looked at me then smiled.

"Ooh. It is okay to want me but finding me will be very hard," I said and he kept quiet. His silence made me realise something: "You were the one who was trying to hack into my information!"

He looked at me.

"Yep, definitely you," I said and laughed again.

"But don't worry Vincenzo," I said after controlling my laughter. He glared at me and I chuckled.

"Don't you dare call me that!"he said angrily.

"Why Vincenzo?" I asked innocently. I knew that I was playing a dangerous game but I did not care.

"You should address me like the rest," he said and I rolled my eyes.

"Sadly I am not the rest. I am Adrianna in case you don't know my name yet!" I said and it seemed to annoy him more. "Getting mad doesn't suit you Vincenzo, it makes you look like an old grumpy grandpa."I earned another warning glare.

"Don't glare at me hoping that I will be afraid of you. I will remind you that once more," I said and he sighed.

"Anyways, forget about the Italian Mafuanleader wanting me. Actually,I am right in front of him and I wonder why he is not even trying to capture me," I said with a grin making him chuckle.

"Getting your hopes up already? Or you can't wait until I hold you hostage?" He said with a grin.

"Naaah. We both know that you can't do that here," I said.

We stayed silent for a while. I had an urge to use the washrooms.

"Excuse me. I need to use the washrooms. I will come back in a few," I told him.

"Okay. I will be here only waiting for you, princess," he said with a grin which made me shake my head.

I took my purse and walked towards the hallway which I guess is the direction since most people were going to and fro. I later saw a sign choosing the ladies washrooms and I walked in. Some women were applying makeup. They were not old. They were so young and I guess that they have to be children of some people here. Immediately they saw me, they stopped talking and looked at me with hate. I wonder what I had done to deserve such a look but I did not care. Choosing the nearby toilet. I heard them exhaling and I wanted to laugh at them. How dare them look at me with hate and they are afraid of me.

She is so beautiful.

No. I am more beautiful than her.

Come on. Just admit it. I admire her makeup.

Me too. I wonder who her makeup artist is. I will have to ask her when she gets out.

You are crazy. I am sure she will just ignore you.

She doesn't look that type.

Both of you are talking as if I am not here. You are supposed to be asking me to be my makeup artist, not her.

No. Thank you.

Did you see how they were talking freely with the Italian don?

Yes. It seems they know each other. No one has ever seen him showing emotions until today.

Yes, he was so free with him.

Let her enjoy him before I take him from her.

These people are really shameless. I walked out and they stopped talking and I rolled my eyes. I walked to the washbasin.

"I guess I should inform you that the walls are not soundproof," I said as I washed my hands.

They were all shocked.

"Next time when you are gossiping someone, whisper or better wait until they are gone for goodness sake," I said as I wiped my hands.

I walked towards the door and walked out.

"Anyways it was nice to meet you all and to whoever was asking, I am my own makeup artist," I said and shut the door. I know they are shocked.

Walking down the hallway, I smirked when I remembered their shocked faces. I went back and saw that Vincenzo was still where I had left him. I walked towards him and tapped his shoulder making him look at me.

We continued talking about different things until something else took my attention.The music started playing and people were walking towards the dancing floor. They were all couples and they seemed to be in love. I wonder whether I will ever experience that. I was so lost in the song and the dance that I forgot that there was someone next to me who I was talking to. I saw a hand in front of me. I looked at it and the owner.

"What do you want now, Vincenzo?" I asked angrily. Why can't he tell me that I want to watch the dance in peace!

"May I have a dance with you, my lovely lady?" He asked nicely.

"Wait, where is the arrogant Vincenzo who I am used to?" I asked, faking tears.

"Such a drama queen," he said as he rolled his eyes.

"You are also rolling your eyes so don't expect me to stop," I said with a grin.

"Come on. I want to dance," he complained and picked my hand since he got tired waiting for me to place it in his hand.

We walked in the middle and all eyes were now on us.

"Don't they have anything else other than staring?" I asked angrily.

"Come down, bellissima. We can as well give them a show, don't you think?" He asked in mischievousness and I smirked.

"Why not," I said eagerly waiting.
