"So, what do you say, my beautiful angel?" Vino called softly to Skylar. He knew she was awake; he wrapped his hands around her and pulled her close to the warmth of his body.
"About what, Mr. Thompson?" Skylar replied sweetly as she smiled in his arms. Though she knew what he was asking her, she was only trying to tease him a bit more and make him beg.
"Being my girlfriend of course. I thought I spent the night satisfying you and giving you a taste of what it meant to be my girlfriend" Vino replied as he turned to glare at Skylar. He hopes she accepts his proposal. He wanted to show her to everyone that she was his.
"Really?" Skylar asked him, shaking her like she wasn't interested in his offer. Vino frowned as his face saddened, he couldn't believe that she said no to him.
Skylar quickly corrected herself when she saw the sad look on his face "If that's what I will be getting every day by being your girlfriend, then it's a yes" Skylar replied smiling causing Vino to wrap his hands tightly around her.
"Woah! Thank you, I'm so lucky to have you" Vino told her, bending slightly to peck her on the cheek.
He stood off the bed dragging Skylar with him into the shower. He helped Skylar wash her hair and Skylar did the same for him.
"Hurry up Vino else we'll be late for the office" Skylar screamed up at Vino who was still playing with her boobs, rubbing and sucking them in the shower.
"We are not going to the office today," Vino said between mouth filled with her boob as he latched on to them.
"We are going on our first date, prepare to spend all day with me" Vino answered as he bathed Skylar with all the gentleness he could muster.
"But I don't have anything to wear?" Skylar protested when they were back in the room. She watched Vino walking around the room naked and not in any bit ashamed of his body.
"Don't worry about that. You could always wear my shirt and you'll still outshine everyone" Skylar slapped him lightly on the chest causing Vino to erupt in laughter.
He turned to see her pouting up at him slightly annoyed. Vino walked closer to her and wrapped his arms around her "Come on Angel, I was only joking. Don't worry about your dress, I will get you another one at the stall"
Vino told Skylar who nodded and turned to put on her dress. Vino walked her out of the room after they were done to see his nanny glaring at him from the stairs...
"Vino, when are you going to settle down? Every day you keep bringing different women to this place. Who is this again?" Maria questioned him with annoyance in her voice. Though she was their maid, she has watched them grow up. She couldn't fold her hands and watch him destroy his future with his hands.
Skylar was beyond ashamed. She hid behind Vino trying to hide the blush on her cheeks, she didn't know Vino did bring all his women home.
"Maria" Vino growled at her. He was angry, what if Skylar decided to take what she said seriously. Then he's doomed!
"Will you stop exaggerating please, the only woman who has ever come to my house is you" Vino continued raking his hands through his hair. He didn't know what Maria wanted to gain by lying. Was she trying to chase Skylar away from him?
Maria smiled and walked closer to Skylar and extended her hands "Hi! I'm Maria, this naughty boy nanny and housekeeper" Maria introduced herself to Skylar who nodded and returned the favour.
Maria returns to her place in the kitchen. His parents have asked her to bring some groceries for Vino, that's why she had come this morning. She was grateful to have come, else she would have missed seeing the face of the woman Vino is in love with.
"Pardon my outburst earlier. I was only joking; he rarely brought his women home. That's how I knew you were special to him" Maria continued gently as she arranged the groceries into their different places.
"You are still saying women, forget about that, what brought you here," Vino asked her, as he went to put his hands around her, hugging her to himself.
"Naughty boy, let go of me" Maria screamed, pushing him off her boy causing both Skylar and Vino to laugh excitedly.
"Don't mind him, he loves to joke around" Maria explained to Skylar before turning to Vino "Your mom asks me to bring you some groceries"
"Okay, thank you for coming, Maria. Please, lock up, I'm going out" Vino called out to her already dragging Skylar out of the room without waiting for Maria's response.
Maria smiled at their retreating back before turning to sort out the groceries into their different places in the freezer. She was thankful to see that the Thompson brothers were changing and were taking wives for themselves.
Skylar turned to glare at Vino who had dragged her out of the room without giving her enough time to gossip with Maria and find out more about his other women.
Vino turned to open the passenger door for Skylar only for her to refuse. Vino could see that she was sulking, he hated Maria having to tell her that he had other women. The only woman he was ever serious with was Camille. The rest were just a one-night thing...
"I'm sorry babe. I will take you to Maria some other time but for now, I want to have you to myself. Please?" Vino apologized to her, giving her his best puppy's look.
Skylar smiled at him before stepping into the car, she could never stay mad at him forever, not when he was looking at her like that.
"Where are you taking me?" Skylar asked Vino as soon as he settled into the driver's seat beside her. She was curious as to where he would take her to as their first date.
Vino turned to smile at her before focusing on the road as he pulled out of his garage "First to the shopping mall, we need to get you out of that dress to something more comfortable or what do you think?"
"It is okay by me" Skylar replied as she nodded and turned to stare out of the window. She still couldn't wrap her head around being Vino's girlfriend. She has always wanted that ever since the first time she met him but now she couldn't help feeling that she made the wrong choice.
"Are you alright?" Skylar pulled out of her thoughts to see that they were parked at the basement of one of the biggest shopping malls in New York City. She didn't know that they had arrived at their destination.
Skylar turned to smile at Vino who was running his hands through her bareback with a worried look on his face "I'm okay, just a bit nervous"
Vino smiled and stepped out to open Skylar's door for her "You don't need to be, I'm here with you" Vino told her trying to reassure her as he guided her into the mall.
"Welcome to Larisa! How may I help you?" The receptionist greeted them as soon as they walked in. Vino told her what he wanted and Skylar was immediately sent to the dressing room to get ready while Vino waited for her in the lobby.
After going through different clothes and changing out of them, Skylar was getting tired of it all. None of the dresses here meet her requirements for a date, some were too expensive. Skylar's eyes caught a lilac short straight gown hanging down the cloth rack.
"Can I have that?" Skylar asked the sales lady in front of her who nodded and went to the direction of the stand where Skylar was pointing to.
Immediately, the sales lady handed the dress to Skylar. She knew it was the one. Skylar wore it and it fitted her perfectly "Pack this, I'll take it," Skylar told the sales lady as she handed her the dress with a smile on her face.
Skylar strolled out of the dressing room with a broad smile on her face, but it soon disappeared as soon as she saw Vino in a tight embrace with a beautiful woman. Skylar wanted to run and hide but Vino had seen her. She was beyond angry that here he was hugging another woman when she was with him.
"Baby, come" Vino called out to her, motioning her over with his hands. He was all smiles that he was going to introduce her to this beautiful lady in his arms, he knew she would be shocked to know who she was.
Skylar walked over to him plastering a fake smile on her face even though she was beyond angry with him. "You called me," Skylar told him as soon as she got to where he was with his hands still wrapped around the girl's shoulder.
"Yes. Do you find anything you like?" Vino asked her, frowning at her. He could see that she was trying badly not to explode in front of their guest but he was also angry with her that she didn't trust him. He could never do that to her, she was all he ever wanted in a woman. She was more than enough for him.
"Yes, I found a lilac gown. That will do for now," Skylar replied, glancing at the girl who was busy typing on her phone.
"Meet Layla Falcone" Vino introduced the lady with him to Skylar. He watches her face lit up as soon as she recognizes that she was Mr. Falcone's daughter.
Vino then turned to the girl to introduce her to Skylar "Layla, that Miss Evans, my girlfriend. I'm sure you might have heard your dad talk about her"
"Yes, but as a co-worker but as your girlfriend! Really? Anyway, congratulation" Layla said to Vino who smiled at her before turning to Skylar who was watching her with a sceptical look on her face.
"Congratulations, Miss Evans. It was nice meeting you" With that Layla stepped away from the couple and made her way down the stairs to the parking lot where her driver was waiting for her after saying goodbye to Vino.
Vino then turned to guide Skylar down to the parking lot after paying for her dress with his gold debit card. He smiled, having remembered how they fought on who was to pay for her dress.
Vino still couldn't believe her, many women would have been glad if he told them he wanted to take them shopping, they would be excited knowing he would pay but here she was refusing him because she wanted to pay for her dress. Vino still doesn't know how he wouldn't be getting married to such a woman. It's taking all his willpower not to propose to her immediately...
He drove them to the restaurant he has reserved for their date with a vow to make today a memorable day for her.

"Thank you for today, Vino. I enjoyed myself" Skylar called to Vino who turned to peck her lightly on the lips with a smile on his face before turning to focus on the road as it was getting late.
"You're welcome darling, moreover, I did enjoy myself too," Vino told her, he bent over to kiss her on the lips again, this time lingering a bit longer as he couldn't resist the call of her lips.
"I just can't wait to get you home to myself" Vino continued gently, winking at her with a promise of things he couldn't wait to do to her when they get home...
"Home?" Skylar is repeatedly shocked. She thought he would be tired of seeing her ugly face but here he was insinuating that he would like for her to spend the night with him again.
Vino turned to look at her, surprised at her tone of voice. What does she mean by that? Won't she want to spend the night with him "Yes? I would like to take you back home"
"I'm sorry Vino but I can't spend the night with you again. I mean, I have to go to the office tomorrow and_____"
"That's the more reason you'll have to spend the night with me. Then we could go to the office together"
"But__ what will everyone say when they see us together?"
"Are you ashamed of me?" Vino asked her, shocked. He couldn't believe she wanted to hide him from the world. What does she take him for? A naive young boy in love for the first time___ No, he was a full-grown man capable of making his own decisions.
"No, I don't mean it that way, Vino. I mean, I don't want anyone to say that I'm sleeping with the boss"
"But you are my girlfriend!" Vino screamed at her in frustration. He was getting tired of her flimsy excuses,
"Fine. I will take you home" Vino called defeatedly to her as he drove speedily to her apartment. There was no need to argue with her seeing that her mind was made up.
Vino pulled into Skylar's driveway and watched her get down from the car. He didn't even bother to help her with the door as he was still annoyed with her.
"See you at the office tomorrow, Miss Evans. Goodnight" Vino calls to her as he pulls out of her driveway without waiting for her response. He drove home with his hands holding the steering in anger.
Skylar stood gasping at the car which had disappeared down the road with a confused look on her face. She didn't know why Vino was so annoyed with her but she was glad to have spent today with him. Skylar shrugged as she walked into the elevator that will take her to her room.
She got out of her dress and took a shower before walking to her bed to lie down. She fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow as she was tired.
