Trip

When I went to work the following day, I did try to return the phone. That stubborn man would not hear anything of it. He just told me that it was part of my package. Don't get me started on the fact that poor Dan had been waiting outside of my building because the boss told him to be there as early as 06AM. How early did the poor man have to wake up. All he could say was it was his job and maybe now that I had a phone, I could arrange proper times with him. That man is beyond me.
Now, I also have to deal with Kate who thinks my boss actually likes me. This was after I opened up about meeting him at the restaurant. Let's blame it on the alcohol. A few drinks in and I was blabbing about everything and nothing. It seems that my center topic was my boss. I thank God my big mouth didn't talk about what I wasn't suppose to. She is convinced that he likes me and maybe was ever looking for me. Which is a lie cause that man can never look me at most like me. He probably pities me.
I was sitting behind me desk getting some work done, when I heard a voice through the intercom.
"Miss Brown, come here."
I picked up my tablet and headed to the office.
" You called for me. "
" Yes. I want you to book a flight to Italy."
"okay, How long will you be there for?"
" I think a week tops. There is some business I need to take care of."
" Okay sir. Which hotel can I book to secure a room."
"ms. Brown."
"Yes sir."
"Unless you are planning on sharing my room with me, I suggest you secure two rooms."
I'm sure I was the brightest red my skin could show. I gave a nervous laugh. "ummmmm yes... I-I will share a room with you. What? no no no no no I meant I will not share a room with you. We can't share a room."
He was full blown laughing at this point and I was beyond embarrassed.
"Just book the tickets and pay for the rooms, Lisa."
"ummm yes sir"
I hurried out of there as fast as my legs could take me. I took a deep breath as I reached my office. I was busy walking back and forth telling myself how stupid I was.
"Ms. Brown, calm down and stop calling yourself stupid."
"Omg. He can hear me?"
"That's what happens when you leave the intercom on isn't that right Ms. Brown?" He said while laughing.
I rushed to my desk and turned it off. Can this day just come to an end already.
After settling down, I sat at my desk and got back to work.
I had the tickets booked, business class just as Mr. Cruz liked it. I had book the presidential suite which had two adjoining rooms at his favorite hotel.
I was terrified but yet excited about this trip. I had never left the country since I was born. I mean I never went for road trips at school because I couldn't afford. Lets face it, my mother would never pay for that.
For the rest of the day, I tried to avoid him as much as possible.
I left early for lunch and afterward I buried myself in work.

As we rode along the highway, I was a bundle of nerves. Firstly, we were traveling to Italy today and secondly, Dante was sitting next to me. From the heat of his body to the accidental touches of his leg. I couldn't think straight. I wished the car was a bit bigger so that there was enough space between us. I looked his side through the side of my eye, his thighs seemed so masculine and his pants were tightly fitting him. His jacket buttons were open, the white shirt was literally attached to him like a second skin. I could tell that under the clothes was a person who kept fit. He was typing on his phone and his long fingers were properly wrapped around the phone. It took me back to the dream I had not so long along. His fingers were touching me and rubbing my lady parts.
"You can just take my clothes Lisa"
"What?" I said as I looked at him. He had a smirk on his face and I knew that I had been caught looking at him.
"I said you can just take off my clothes since you seemed to be undressing me with just your eyes."
I tried to act serious with him just to hide the fact that I was embarrassed. "Mr. Cruz, I don't think that is appropriate."
He just chuckled and went back to his phone.
We arrived at the airport and checked in. From the time I arrived at the airport, I couldn't help been amazed. It was terrifying when I felt the plane that I grabbed on to my chair so tight.
"You can look now" I heard him say. I looked outside the window and so that we were in the air. I could see the clouds outside my window. I took out my phone and took some pictures. Kate had helped me install some apps on the phone including snapchat that she said was good for using filters. I knew about it but, I was excited to finally do it on my own phone.
I remember using it on Kate and Haydens phones. If not for those two and sneaking into the computer at one of my former jobs, I would have been in the stone ages. I still have a lot to catch up on but I'm learning and catching up.
"Would like me to take pics of you?"
"sure" I gave him my phone and he took some pics of me. "thanks" He gave me a funny when he handed the phone over to me.
After a few hours, we arrived in Italy and to a town called Venice. It was so beautiful. We got through by boat. I was so blown away.
We got to the hotel and checked in. Our luggage was brought up by the bell boy and from the moment the door to the suite, I was speechless. It was beautifully decorated. We had the narrow passage that led to the livingroom area and at the far end was a passage way with two doors next to each other. On the other side of the living area was a desk with doors leading to the balcony. I went through every room and I was shown which one would be mine.
I took my things into my room and freshened up. I joined Dante after that.
"Would you like us to order in or maybe we go down by the dining area."
" I think ordering in will be just fine."
"Would you like some champagne?"
"I've never had it before but, I've tried wine." he smiled at me .
"okay, you can try one glass and if you don't like it then we can get you some wine." he said as he handed me a flute. I took a sip and giggled when I felt the fizziness on my nose.
"how is it?"
"Not bad but I don't think its really my thing."
He gave a small laugh. "that's okay. Let me get you some wine."
he handed me my glass as he sipped his glass of whiskey which he had been taking. He started asking me some questions as we waited for food.
The food arrived and we continued casual topics. This felt right but strange. The only guy I was comfortable with is Hayden and this wasn't him. This was my boss and I couldn't be this comfortable with him.
"I think I should go to bed now." I tried to stand and got a little dizzy. I fell right to his lap.
