Chapter 68: Chapter 68

Dante drove Barbara back to his condominium, immediately he arrived the city, the first person he want to see was Barbara, getting to Kathleen's, he was told that Barbara is not back, he recalled that Barbara told him, she is meeting with Gordon, he thought of calling her or driving to pick her but then again, she might not like it, so waiting for her was the only option he could think of.

Thanks, I will change then sleep, you should sleep too, it's late.

I will have to place a call to Jayden.

Oh! Have you eaten?

Yes, we talk in the morning then. Dante nodded at her, then take his call.

Jayden, can't you stop calling for once?

I was worried, you left as soon as we arrived, where are you?

At the condominium, I am spending the night here.

Fine, I am on my way.

No! He yelled.

Why?

Sorry, she is here, I will be spending the night with her.

What? What did you tell her to make her agree to do that?

Don't be silly, I am not sleeping with her and get off my phone.

Fine, Scarlett said she wants to see you.

What for?

She said, she wants to discuss the reason you don't want to see Jasmine.

She should be happy that, I haven't terminate her contract, she is also my culprit. After Dante got the CCTV footage from the previous night incident, he realized that, Scarlett was the one who provoke Barbara not the other way round.

Dante please, not this again, dad will kill you.

I know, that is the reason, she is still flying, go to bed already, I have to rest as well.

he kept his phone, he never thought of bringing her to his condominium, he only wants to get a glance of her face. His stubborn heart will not let him think straight, with each day, he long for her, failing to protect his heart like he always do.

****

The next morning Dante was still sleeping, Barbara have deprive him of his room, so he had to used the other.

He is still sleeping? Barbara asked no one in particular, she makes her way into Dante room without knocking, he is sleeping without a shirt, Barbara couldn't help but admire the man lying on his bed. Sleeping like a baby.

She was about to go back to the living room when she paused to look at the man sleeping peacefully on the bed, his face is very peaceful. She involuntary move closer to him instead of going out of the room. Her eyes run over the face of the creature on the bed, his face is very inviting and alluring.

His lovely eyelashes, his high nose and kissable lips, that is one that keep attracting her to him.

Are you going to hurt me; if I fall for you? Barbara asked silently while staring at his face, she likes what is in front of her but she is scared to fall in love. She admit, she wants to give her heart to Dante but too scared for another heart break, Dante have alot of women in his life.

Am I too handsome that you can't get your eyes off me. She jumped from him, hearing his whispered then his eyes open slowly then gaze at Barbara.

I wasn't staring, I only want to wake you up, it's late already. Barbara defend herself then hurry out, Dante titter, he walked into the shower, he felt peaceful as the water run on his skin, so many thoughts on that stubborn head of his.

He wore his clothes then come out to join Barbara, she too have taken her bath and is waiting for Dante.

What are we having for breakfast? Dante asked as he walked into the living room.

I can't find anything in the fridge, so I was thinking we should have coffee and a little sandwich then we could go get some groceries.

Don't worry, I will call for my cook.

Your cook? Dante stand from the couch, run his hand on his neck. Go on!

My Friend's girlfriend, she normally stock the fridge with things we need

Oh! Don't bother her, both of us can go to any groceries store close by. Dante look at her. I don't feel like going to work today, you promised to stay with me right? Dante nodded. So is there any groceries store around here?

It's just a few blocks from here, I will get my keys.

I think, is not that far, so no need using a car, let's walk down. Barbara is the daughter of one the elites in the city, yet she behaves like some regular girl in the city. Even if he doesn't want to fall for her, her sweet soul keeps seducing his stubborn heart that will not listen to him.

While walking to the groceries store at first her lips were seal, they were having silent walk, she decided to break the silent, the silent was making her feel awkward, she thought of chitchatting about random stuff.

Have you ever thought of becoming a Superman?

Why will I want to be one? He asked all surprised, those are childish dream.

That way you could make all your wish come true within a blink, like we don't have to go to the groceries shop, all we just need to do is enchant and then it will appear.

Dante turn and give her a week smile.

How old are you? She look at him, that was the first time, he asked her something personal, apart from trying to annoyed her with her relationship with Claudia, he never bothered about her personal life.

Twenty two!

She gave an honest answer, she was about to asked him, the reason behind his question, they are now at the groceries store.

Here we are.

Barbara pin her lips together, as he pushed the trolley.

Do you have an idea of what to buy? He asked, he have no freaking idea of anything concerning kitchen even if he could cook, everything is stock for him by his cook.

They picked every ingredients needed to prepare something nice, then pick milk, he decided to add more of it, he open one of it to drink but then it stain his lips, Barbara used her napkin ro clean his lips, he stared at her.

Thanks! He said as he make his ways to the counter to make payment, he just can't believe that shopping for this thing with Barbara will give him satisfaction.

After the payment, he grabbed the bag in both hands.

Let me help you.

Don't worry, I could handle it.

Come on, it will be unfair if I let you carry this two heavy bags without me assisting you.

Don't stress I am perfect.

I know you do alot of workout but please don't be stubborn let me help you.

Workout? How do you know I do that? He turned his gaze to Barbara.

I have see your upper nude, so it's obvious from your shoulder and your pectoral muscles show it. She press her lips together as soon as the words came out, she felt awkward.

Have you been staring at my nude? Her face reddened with embarrassment, she takes more step, she need to get out of there, before she spill nonsense from her mouth, increasing her step.
