Chapter 19
Royalty's POV
I was in the shower when one of Xavier's girls came down and delivered the message to me. I quickly dressed and then went down into the kitchen at top speed. I opened the fridge and cut out a big chunk of pie. Cristiano and Geovanni were there and eyed the pie suspiciously.
"I made it last night while you were out." I said shyly as I turned back to face then and closed the fridge door with my foot.
"You made that?" Geovanni asked in surprised "I was wondering how that got there. Where are you going with that much cake?"
"Xavier sent for me and the pie which is not a cake!" I said the last part sarcastically and Cristiano laughed
I wrapped the pie in foil then raced up to Xav's room. His girls were there cleaning up and one told me he was in the shower so I waited. I heard the bathroom door opening and I put the pie behind my back quickly and looked down. I hope this thing tastes good! I blushed as I saw Xavier come out the bathroom with a towel around his waist and water dripping down his sexy body. He dismissed the girls and stuck his fingers in his curly, sexy and wet hair and looked at me. I blushed even harder as he stared at me.
"You bought the pie?" he asked and I nodded and showed him the pie "Wait for me out there."
He pointed out to the balcony where the girls had put two chairs and a table and an umbrella over the table for shade. I did as he said and he went into his closet and came out a few minutes later in a white knee length pants and a shirt on for once! He sat down and I saw his girls come back with a try full of food. They set it out then left. I looked at Xavier in surprise.
"We're eating together." he said
I nodded.
Eating with Xavier! Wow Royalty you just had an upgrade!
"We'll have that pie of your for dessert." he said and smiled that perfect white teeth smile at me "Mangiamo!"
I laughed and took a pancake and put that on my plate. I cut a small piece and tasted the fluffy goodness.
Holy cow! It was good. It melted in your mouth.
I poured syrup on it and took another piece. Xavier laughed as I stuffed my mouth.
"Eat as much as you dare." he said
He then cut off piece and held it up to me. I swallowed my mouthful and looked at it. I hesitated a little but bent in and took it from the fork. I chewed slowly as he cut of a chunk and eat it. He looked up at me.
"What?" he asked
"Nothing." I answered
"Not falling for that." he said raising an eyebrow at me
"I was just thinking how....different you are. When someone hears the word 'mafia' they think of something really scary with a scary leader but you're really...cool." I said blushing bright red
"Thanks....that means a lot coming from you." he answered softly and I could see him blush.
We ate talking and laughing over random stuff. I held my breath when Xavier tasted the limone pie.
Xavier's POV
I tasted the pie.
I couldn't believe it! It was soft and creamy and melted in my mouth. Rei was a good baker!
"Delizioso!" I exclaimed and she cheered
I laughed at her childishness and she blushed. She ate with me and then she left and I took a while before joining the others downstairs. I had a full morning filled with meetings with dealers and sorting out plans and correcting and improving them. I was tired when I reach downstairs for lunch and just collapsed and fell asleep on the chair. I didn't wake up until late that afternoon.
Cristiano managed what I missed knowing I was tired. I woke to the sound of Hinako and Rei racing around the corridors. It was the usual inside sport for them when it was raining and just then it was. I sat up and looked at them. Royalty was skating down the railing and she was coming so fast that she didn't see one of my men coming along the corridor just then and they collided. I found myself laughing and shaking my head and I got up and went over.
Royalty's POV
I looked down at the major cutie I just collided with. His hair was brown and his eyes were green. He was really sexy and his tuxedo made him look like a masterpiece. I was sitting on something I shouldn't have been sitting on and it was a little lower than his abs. He was leaning back on his elbows and we were looking at each other. Xavier came over and Hinako ran over.
"Are you alright Royalty ?" he asked
I nodded. He turned to the boy I was on.
"You alright Damanico?" he asked
"Si." the boy answered and his thick Italian accent sent that sledgehammer to work inside my panty
Xavier flicked Damanico an unseen dirty look and he quickly caught it. Cristiano came over and saw the sight.
"You alright bambina?" he asked
I nodded.
"Let's leave the two to sort themselves out." Xavier said flashing Damanico a smile and turning Cristiano around and pushing him into the kitchen and Hinako followed.
I looked confused for a bit then I understood.
"This is one wrong position." Damanico said to me and I felt a bulge forming in his pants
"I'm sorry." I said getting off of him
He got up and extended his hand down to me.
"Are you alright?" he asked
Seriously! Why was everyone asking that?
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" I asked gracefully taking his hand and he gently pulled me up "I'm the one who landed on you."
"It's alright." Damancio. said "I'm Damanico. Damanico Antonelli. And you are...."
"Ro... I mean Royalty." I stammered blushing red "Royalty Lemeire."
I was used to the boys calling me Ro.
"That's a pretty name." Damanico said "Are you new around here?"
"Yeah a little." I answered "I just moved in."
"Seems like you're having fun." Damien said picking up my board "Take it easy next time. I'll see you later Rei."
