Chapter 3 Get to know you

"You want to get to know me?" That was weird. I didn't see that coming. "Sit." The command in his voice conveyed power and control which turned me on. I sat just like he said... like my body was working on its own.

"I thought the whole point of framing me for something I didn't do was to get me into a private session with you." I was confused, genuinely. "But now I want to get to know you." He insisted.

"Then why frame me up?" "I never said I did. My ring was found on you and you're paying for it." "Nice." I stood up. "Well, I can't get to know someone who made a fool out of me and ruined my reputation for no reason." I was so pissed at him.

"So, if I agree that I framed you just so I can get a private session with you, you'd be okay?" He said with a smug look on his face. "Asshole," I muttered under my breath. "I heard you." "Whatever." I couldn't stand him even though I wasn't sure why.

If it was the fact that he is an actual asshole or that he is so hot and I'm burning for him. "Sit with me." I did as he asked. "I could have asked your name but I already know. Gabriella." The way my name rolled out his tongue was subtle yet intense, seemed intimate but casual.

It sounded sexy when he said my name. "On second thought, I want you to dance for me." I knew it... he was just pretending, they are all the same. Regardless, I stood up to dance, it was my job. I sat down on his lap facing him, grinding and bumping slowly so my breasts were in his face.

I ran my fingers through his hair and bit my lip, trying to get back the mood, the energy in the room was off already. I slowly tried to stand from his legs to give him a show but he held me back with his hands on my waist pulling me down to him.

"Stay. This. Way." He whispered and then leaned forward in a way that our noses touched each other. "I want to know what drives you, your desire, and your passion. There is something about you I can't shake off." As he spoke, each word sent chills down my spine, and his breath, so pleasant and fresh, mixed with whisky and mint blended so well, evoked a desire to push my tongue down his throat.

Again, his cologne filled my nose, his scent was so heavenly and rich. Just then, I stood up. "Our time is up." He didn't say anything, just stared at me. I felt awkward I didn't know what to do, if I should wave or... I walked away instead. Back in the dressing room, I needed to finish up my homework before I got some sleep.

"Here is your share." The manager handed me $500. "Why?" I looked up at her. "The private dance? He said you did well." I hesitantly collected the money and put it in my purse. On reaching home, I did my homework first which took about thirty minutes.

Then I went into the shower, I recalled what transpired between him and me. I remembered how it felt, the sense of longing and warmth, at the same time there was this feeling of intensity and passion that caused my heart to race throughout.

I distracted myself from that thought and stepped out. Dried my body and boom on the bed. Asleep. *********************************************** The next day, I was already in the class earlier than the usual time. After a while, Cassie walked in... I was so happy to see her. It felt really weird staying in school without her, she completed me.

"Ouuu! Look who is here! You look better." I stated cheerfully. "Yeah. I guess your soup worked well, granny!" She said back cheerfully. "Stop with the granny." I pretended to be angry but I wasn't. I was used to the name 'granny' by my friends from high school, everyone called me that because they said I was too caring and I loved taking soups to sick people.

I guess that's what staying with a sick father at an early age would do to you. May his soul rest in peace anyway. That reminded me, that I was supposed to travel home for the weekend and that was tomorrow. I was pulled out of my thoughts when Vito walked in.

As charming as ever, he even looked better in the morning. "Don't tell me this is him," Cassie nudged me with her elbow. "Okay, I won't tell you." Her mouth was opened in a gape and she squeezed my thighs tight. "Fuck! No offense but he is hotter than the two you said I should pick from.

He is literally a God walking the earth." I rolled my eyes, Cassie loved exaggerating but to be honest, I don't think she is in this case. He is mouthwateringly hot. "How could you lap dance him and not orgasm at the instant?" Gosh! How is this girl so vulgar? In the process of trying to shush her, I was caught.

"Hey, you are the back. Gabriella right?" Vito called out and I hesitantly nodded. "Seems you would like to share something with the class. Why not present your homework to us." He said. Wow! I was so nervous and my hands were clammy.

Not because I didn't do my homework but because I didn't like to talk in front of a crowd. However, I stood up to do as he said. I can't disobey he was my lecturer. I got to the stage and brought out my homework to read from what I had written last night which was 'why I chose business management."

Yeah, that was the assignment and it wasn't hard to do because I chose the discipline and I love business. I'd love to own multiple businesses later in the future and also manage ones that aren't mine.

Luckily, I did well and I was applauded. After the class, I was on my way out with Cassie and he dragged me back and said in a low tone, "Hai fatto bene, Bella." Which means you did well. I smiled and walked away.
