I smiled as I typed a reply back. He could be so adorably sweet sometimes. Best part? I'm the only one he shows that side of him.
You're in my heart tonight, tomorrow and forever. Sweet dreams, Vasilios.
And I could also be really cheesy and lovey-dovey.
I placed my phone back in my pocket and sighed dreamily at the thought of him. Early this morning he had texted me that he would be busy all day, because he would have investors from Dubai and Japan over at his office.
"You're so in love, I actually want to vomit." Reina walked into the kitchen and snapped her fingers in my face. "Are we still going to watch riverdale?"
I rolled my eyes at her and grabbed my food and drink. "Yes, let's go." I walked passed her to the living room and plopped down on the couch. I saw that Reina had put the episode on pause. "You watched half of it without me?" I shouted at her. I heard her walking out of the kitchen.
"Yes." She replied as she sat down next to me with a huge bag of doritos. "You were so long in the kitchen, staring dreamily at the kitchen sink."
"I was not!"
"Of course not." she replied sarcastically and pressed the play button.
"No!" I yelled out, grabbing the remote from her. "Let's watch it from the beginning."
"What?" she exclaimed, trying to steal the remote from me. "No, I'll fill you in what had happened."
"No, I want to see it." I pressed the backwards button and Reina groaned and threw a pillow at me.
"Ugh Mrs. Vasilios, you're so annoying."
I grinned and nudged her from the side. "I'm not married yet, Rei."
"Oh, but soon you will be." she wiggled her eyebrows at me and winked.
I just rolled my eyes at her and chuckled. I focused my attention back on the tv while eating fries.
"Bytheway, I'm going to Italy." Reina suddenly said.
"Really?!" I was so happy for her that she will finally meet the rest of Luca's family. She was talking about it a lot for the past few days. "Is it to meet his family?"
She shook her head and bit her bottom lip. "Actually no. I'm...I'm going to school there."
"School?" I asked surprised. I thought she said she was done with school.
"Yes, uhm I will study Italian at the Dante alighieri Siena school. It's a multinational learning center of Language, Culture and Gastronomy which offers Italian courses."
"Wow." I breathed out unbelievably. "You're actually going to school again?"
She chuckled lightly and nodded her head in confirmation. "It's hard to believe, I know. But on the other hand, I would like to learn more about my boyfriend's language and culture."
"That's basically relationship goals."
"I know right!" Reina laughed. "He takes online portuguese lessons. It's so funny to watch him struggle."
"So if you're going to move to Italy, that means you're going to move out from here forever?" I asked panicky. To pay the rent of this apartment alone would be hard for me. It was a very expensive apartment and even though Reina and I split the rent it still was a lot of money.
"Yes, but don't worry. I don't think I will move out until December. You will have all the time to find a new apartment." she assured me.
"Oh great, because I was already panicking. Anyway, are you going to live with Luca?"
"Yeah." She replied smiling. "The school is in Siena, Tuscany. Luckily Luca has a penthouse there where we are going to stay."
"That's amazing Rei, I'm so happy for you." I gave her a side hug. "Hey!" I yelled out as I catched her sneakily grabbing a handful of fries of my plate.
"Ouch!" She yelled and threw the fries on her pajama pants. "It's so hot!"
"That's what you get when you're stealing my fries." I snickered.
She glared at me as she rubbed her hands together. She then picked up the fries from her pajama pants and ate them.
I turned my attention back towards the TV and saw that I forgot to press pause when I was talking to Reina.
Now I still haven't seen the first part of the episode. I sighed and pressed the backwards button again.
"Hey!" Reina shouted knocking the remote out of my hand. It fell with a loud thud on the floor and the TV went black.
"Look what you did." I said accusatory looking at the broken remote on the floor. "Now we can't even finish the episode."
..........
Marco Vasilios
I closed my laptop and sighed tiredly. Last night I stayed up till midnight to finish a powerpoint I needed to present to investors from Dubai and Japan. I had brought my work to the yacht, but I couldn't focus since there was a major distraction there. And by major distraction I mean Jillian.
She was literally walking around in skimpy lace dresses or my shirts that were twice her size. She wasn't giving Marco Jr. rest, but not that I was complaining. I was so happy that I could finally got the long kept secret off my chest. I was so surprised that she didn't run away or threw a tantrum. In fact she handled it so calm even though I could see that she was freaking the fuck out.
My office door opened and Rodrigo sauntered in with his jacket over his shoulder followed by his PA, Meghan. "Good morning Mr. Vasilios." Meghan greeted politely.
I nodded at her and looked over at Rodrigo who was making himself comfortable on the chair. He turned around to dismiss his PA and then looked back at me. "Have you read the email I send you?"
"Yes, it's interesting but risky." I said, looking at him from head to toe. His hair was disheveled and some buttons on his white shirt were missing. Someone got laid. I wonder who the lucky girl was.
"It is, but the profit you will make will be insane."
"True, but looking at how things are now, the project will probably take up to five or six years. And I'm already doing three different projects now." I scratched my head. It was a really great opportunity, but priorities came first. "You can do it if you want."
