Frantz sighed and looked away for a moment. He knew that he was irritating her, but he just wanted her to give into him. End both of their miseries.
"Alright listen," Frantz spoke up as he sat up and fixed his posture, his business-like tone coming through clearer than day, except, Liliana didn't want to hear it.
"Liliana," Frantz called out, but she kept her eyes glued on the passing buildings and people outside.
"Lili," Frantz called out again, as he began feeling frustrated at her actions.
He took in a deep breath, then made a resolution... if she wanted to play, he was going to play.
Frantz scooted up to the edge of his seat, and that earned a reaction. He noticed Lili blink quickly, before she gulped, but she kept her eyes fixed on the outside.
Frantz chuckled softly, though Liliana could feel his frustration growing. Apparently this man didn't like to be ignored.
"Liliana," Frantz called again in a lower tone, almost warning, and Liliana gulped again, a soft sigh exiting her nostrils. She slowly felt the sensation from earlier move about in her lower region, and she knew that tightening her legs would be too obvious to the man facing her, so undoing her arms, she held her skirt as she crossed her legs, but her eyes still remained locked outside the window.
Mr. Cavalier noticed her actions and could only imagine what her body was feeling. Her face was red, and her breathing had changed pace. Watching Lili react to the tension in the car, it made Frantz very aware of just how close they were, because if he simply reached out, he'd be able to run his hand against her leg.
Seeing this as an opportunity, Frantz did just that.
He ran his index finger along the length of her lower leg, and Liliana gulped, before she released a small gasp.
The energy in the car heated up when Frantz's finger touched passed her knee and began sliding higher.
Lili felt her heart tremble in her chest, her breathing extremely irregular, her throat drier than cement. She could feel just how hot her face was, her palms were sweaty, and she could tell her armpits were also drowning in sweat.
Frantz kept his eyes on her face, as his hand pushed higher, her skirt moving back and revealing the skin on her upper leg. When Lili felt a cool wind kiss below her thigh, her hand finally fell and clamped over Mr. Cavalier's hand, stopping him before he went further.
Lili was breathing heavily, and it didn't help when Frantz released a low sigh from his nostrils.
Liliana took a chance and snapped her eyes towards Frantz, then she looked away just as quickly.
"I don't like being ignored Liliana." Frantz explained, his eyes heavy on her heated body.
"What do you want from me?" Liliana asked, unable to control just how uneven her voice sounded.
"One night, it's all I'm asking." Frantz admitted, as he began to sound more desperate.
Lili looked down then away. She hated what she was going to say next, but if it was the only way to get him off her back, she would do it.
"Would it change anything if I told you that I am a virgin?" Liliana asked, fixating her eyes on him, though hating that she'd have to reveal this to a man she barely knew.
"Are you?" Mr. Cavalier demanded, and with one shot of bravery, Liliana looked at Frantz square in the eye as she declared "yes, I am."
Blinking, and then nodding, Frantz retracted his hand, and Liliana scurried to pull her skirt down. She could practically die of embarrassment. Liliana was not ashamed to be a virgin at her age, but she sure as heck didn't expect that she'd be revealing it to a man she barely knew, even worse, that man was her boss.
"I see." Frantz hummed quietly, as he leaned back in his seat, and rested his hand on his lips and jaw, his eyes shifting away from Lili who looked ready to pass out from embarrassment.
When the driver halted to a stop in front of the hotel, it was not a moment too soon. Liliana practically jumped out of the car as soon as the door opened. The driver handed her bag, and with a quick thank you, Lili disappeared into the hotel. When Liliana walked up to the concierge, of course it had to be the blonde girl with the fake smile.
Liliana didn't have time for pleasantries, and all but rushed the girl to give her the card to her room. Surprised at Lili's flushed appearance, the blonde handed her the card, and didn't even have a chance to make a snarky remark. Liliana rushed to the elevators, hoping that Mr. Cavalier wouldn't catch up to her. When the doors closed, Liliana let out a breath of relief.
Frantz on the other hand had no idea what just occurred. Liliana caught him off guard with her declaration, and now he felt like a complete asshole for pushing her. While Frantz had nothing against a woman who has kept her virtue, he felt as though he forced her into these scenarios. Now he felt like a jerk. Had he known she was a virgin, he wouldn't have pushed her as much as he did.
Frantz exited the car, and absentmindedly thanked the driver, which shocked the driver to the core.
"You're welcome Signore Cavalier." The driver replied, softly, though the dazed man was already heading into the hotel.
When the blonde noticed Mr. Cavalier heading her way, she perked up, and pushed her chest out, as she greeted with the brightest smile "good evening Mr. Cavalier, how was your flight?"
"Delia." Frantz simply replied, as he passed her by and didn't even spare her a glance.
Frowning, Delia looked on as the billionaire passed her by without sparing her a glance. Then she remembered Liliana passing through a few minutes prior. They were both acting rather unusual, and Delia suspected that something may have happened.
The moment Liliana locked her door, she let out a frustrated sob which had clogged in her throat during the elevator ride. 24 and a virgin. She was 24 years old and a virgin. Liliana was damn proud of herself for holding out so long and not giving into the first guy she met, but Frantz's reaction stung her. She knew that he would react that way, that's how they all did.
Every man she ever met who seemed to like her, the moment they found out that she was a virgin, they all ran for the hills. No one wanted to responsibility of being a virgin's first. They were afraid of the attachment that came with it.
Well good riddance to them all.
Liliana wiped her tears away out of frustration. Why the heck was she crying? This is what she wanted. For Mr. Frantz Cavalier to lose complete interest in her. She scared him away, and she would hope that it was for good.
Picking herself up, Liliana made her way to her bedroom, and picked up the phone dialing the one number she knew could cheer her up.
"Lili?" Her mom's voice sounded across the line after a few rings.
"Mom." Liliana chuckled, a new set of tears building up in her eyes.
"Hey baby, how was the flight?" Her mom asked,.
"Good." Liliana nodded, as she tried to keep her tears at bay.
If her mom caught wind that she was crying, Liliana wouldn't be able to dodge all the questions.
"Oh, that's good. This means that you didn't throw your boss off the airplane?" The mom commented, and Liliana let out a mix of giggles with tears and a bit of snot.
"No mom I didn't throw him off the plane." Liliana replied, as she rolled her eyes.
"Hey are you okay? Your voice sounds a little off." The mom noted, and Liliana frowned as she said, "yeah, I'm just- a little tired is all. I'm gonna shower and hit the hay. I love you mom."
"I love you too sweetheart." Her mom replied, then before they hung up, Lili called out "mom?"
"Yes?"
"When you waited to give yourself up to dad... it was because you loved him, and he was the one who was willing to wait until you were married... it was worth it right?" Liliana asked, though she felt extremely embarrassed to ask this of her mom.
"It was worth the wait because I was with your father, and he had won my heart. Is there something you want to tell me Lili?" The mom asked, carefully.
"No, I was just curious. I gotta go mom, have a good night." Liliana stated, softly.
"Stay safe out there kiddo." With those words, Lili ended the call.
She sighed as she placed the phone down, then shaking off her sadness, Liliana headed to the bathroom for a shower. Deep in her heart Liliana wanted to believe that everything had seized between her and Mr. Cavalier. She knew that after what she revealed today, he would keep his distance.
And Liliana told herself over and over that it was exactly what she wanted from him. All she wanted was that he kept his distance. And yet, the idea crushed Liliana's heart.
She knew better than to crush after men with experience... they never wanted a girl who was never ready to get it on. But Liliana figured it was for the best, after all, it was the chase that interested Mr. Cavalier, and now that he was off her tail, he'd be going after the next one.
