Ava took me away to get changed, leaving Lorenzo behind. I took a peek, but he was gone. She took me to the kitchen first and offered me something to drink.
“Something tells me he has big plans for you,” she said, making me nervous as she handed me some soda.
“I am not sure what kind of plans he could have with someone like me. A nobody,” I replied, but she looked at me with a frown on her face.
“Only one way to find out. You’ll be living with him after all,” she said as she served her little kid something to eat before she could finally put her to bed.
I looked down and I could feel heat creeping up my cheeks.
“Is someone blushing?” She asked, but I stayed silent. It was a bit embarrassing.
Not long after, another lady walked in the kitchen and greeted Ava, before she looked at me.
“Is this Lorenzo’s friend?” She asked and I smiled faintly.
“She is. I was wondering if you with your fashion sense could work on her? I have some clothes that I don’t use, maybe you can find something appropriate or at least something Lorenzo might like,” Ava replied.
“Ahh, Lorenzo,” she mentioned with a doubtful face, “Hi, I’m Piper. Nice to meet you…”
“Aubrey Phillips. Nice to meet you too,” I greeted her with a shake of her hand and she smiled genuinely at me.
They both grabbed me by the arm and dragged me towards one of the extra rooms. It was beautifully decorated with a few couches spread around, and a body length mirror on the corner.
Piper and Ava opened a closet full of dresses and shoes and my eyes opened wide at the beauty of it. Outfits were always my thing, and I always wanted to look nice, especially for the men I needed to satisfy.
The men who had bought me always spoiled me with expensive dresses. Talking about dresses, I wonder if my things at my apartment would still be there when I came back, not that I was sure when I would be back to my own life.
“Okay, there are many dresses here, and I am sure you will love at least ten,” Piper mentioned, grabbing a red short dress.
“I don’t think I would want to try that one. I’ve had my fair share of short and skimpy dresses,” I said, making her nod and look for something else.
She found a yellow maxi dress with flowers around and I shook my head, making her put it back.
Just as she took the third dress, my eyes shone at the sight of it. It was a beautiful blue summer dress with a slit on the side and strapless.
In combination with it, they gave me some white wedges and put my hair down in waves, before they put some makeup on me.
At the end of the transformation, I looked breathtaking, and I was hoping to impress the man waiting for me outside of this room.
“You look beautiful, Aubrey. Wait until Lorenzo sees you,” Ava said, holding my shoulders and giving me a side hug. I put a strand of hair behind my ear.
“What makes you think he will like this?” I asked and Ava looked at Piper with a knowing smile.
“Because there is one thing that these mafia men love, and that is when their women look beautiful for them,” Piper mentioned.
“But I am not his woman, he just bid on me at the auction, although I’m not sure for how long I will be with him before he decides to let me go.”
“You will see. He didn’t bid on you just because. There must have been something about you that attracted him and you’ll find out soon,” Ava mentioned.
We all walked out of the room and when Lorenzo saw me, I noticed he was in awe for a minute, before he shook his head and put his serious expression again.
“She looks...okay,” he said, making me frown at his comments. Just okay? I could see I was more than okay when Nolan looked at me with lustful eyes.
Ava was upset at the fact that he only thought I looked okay, and their argument almost got heated before he grabbed me by the arm and took me to the car.
I waved a thank you to the girls before he helped me in.
The ride was silent for the most part, but I was sure Lorenzo was holding back from saying or doing anything to me with this dress on.
I heard him clear his throat and I had to bite my bottom lip so the smile that I was dying to give him didn’t come out.
“You look...better than before,” he said. Unbelievable. Was that all ge could say?
“Well, Nolan didn’t seem to think so. He was undressing me with his eyes,” I replied, looking at Nolan through the rear view mirror.
Suddenly, I felt Lorenzo’s hand squeezing my knee as he hit a button to close down the panel separating the driver from the back of the car.
“Watch what you say in front of me. Nolan won’t be putting your hands on you, I will.”
“That is if I let you. You said it yourself, no woman should be treated as a toy to play with.”
Before I could say anything else, he grabbed me by the chin and his lips were on mine in an instant. An angry kiss that was making me feel hot in my core.
My heart was beating fast just as he pulled away, looking at me with a smirk.
“You don’t challenge me, is that clear?”
I didn’t say anything, just tried to provoke him by looking at him with an eyebrow raised.
“Is that...clear?” He asked once again and I took a deep breath.
“Crystal.”
The rest of the ride was silent and for some reason, I didn’t really feel scared with him, I felt...safe. That is the word I would use to describe Lorenzo, safety. From the moment I heard his voice, I felt comfortable, but he needed to stop being a jerk if he didn’t want me to dislike him.
It was not long before we arrived at his mansion and the sight really impressed me.
“Are you trying to compensate for something?” I asked.
He looked at me with some irritation and I thought to myself that it would be fun to mess with him, that is if I don’t end up in big trouble.
“No, I only compensate by having many girls in my bed,” he whispered in my ear before he walked away and I scoffed. He knows I was trying to make him upset and he is playing it against me. It will be fun living with this ass.
