He rolled me over holding me close to his chest I could hear the rhythmic sounds of his heart beating. Something changed tonight. I changed. I closed my eyes nuzzling myself into him. I was in love him. I was in love with Lukas Blakk.
New York
He kissed my hair and began pushing it off my face. “Are you going to come with me to New York now?” He asked but I shrugged. “Alexia?” He pulled me into his arms and pushed my chin up to face him. “I told you, I am sorry and that is a lot from me. I have never really apologized to anyone before, not for my actions, ever! So don’t make this harder for me, just come to New York, be there with me.” He smiled “I’ll spoil you.” He winked trying to tempt me. He lifted my chin and kissed me.
“Okay” I said meekly.
“Okay?” He asked.
“Yes okay!” I said.
He pushed me off and started to get dressed.
“You don’t need to take anything but your passport. “I’ll get you anything you need in New York.” I waved him off, I hated that he wanted to pay for everything.
“No it’s fine, I’ll just take a small bag with me, give me five minutes.” But he made a face “Alexia.”
“Shush! I’m still pissed as it is.” I was and I wasn’t. He had apologized which made me feel better but I was still hurt. That was a lot harder to let go of.
“Alexia, I’ll never hurt you like that again, I just…” He let out a sigh and sat back down on my bed. “It was work and work sometimes takes over my world and you Alexia are my world. You’re the only thing that truly matters to me, I’m not asking you to be second on my list just please understand me.” I walked over to him, leaving my bag on the floor.
“Lukas, the thing is I do understand. My parents ran multiple restaurants which made them a lot of money. I was left alone a lot and I was fine with it but you need to understand that you can’t just leave me whenever you feel like you can, all you have to do is tell me and I’ll wait that’s all. I’m not complicated or need details, one phone call would have just been fine with me.”
He narrowed his eyes, “Just one phone call?” He asked skeptically.
“Yes, just one phone call.” I reassured. He stood up, picked me up from the floor and held me tight in a bear hug.
“Where the hell did I ever find you?”
I laughed “At the bistro, duh!”
He helped me out of the black Escalade. Mr. Baldy had driven us to a private airport. There was a private jet on the tarmac waiting, the stairs of the plane were extended and a beautifully dressed stewardess waited for us at the bottom of the stairs.
“Mr. Blakk, Miss Lexi.” I waited outside as Lukas started off for the stairs.
“Miss Lexi?” She asked, she was blond and had slicked back her hair into a tight ponytail, her smile was actually sincere.
I was totally awestruck. I mean seriously the man owned his own private jet and it wasn’t small like the others, this was completely and utterly surreal. He walked back down the stairs and extended his hand. “It won’t bite Alexia.” He took my hand and walked me up.
I walked in and was taken aback. It was spacious and luxurious. There were dark wood accents along the wall with plush white couches and chairs near an office table in the middle of the space.
“Lukas” I whispered.
“I hold meetings here.” He pointed. He continued to hold my hand and walked me to the back of the jet. The floor was wood but had large off white area rugs, which looked beautiful.
“We’ll sit here.” He offered. There were a few rows of large white billowing leather seats that lined the plane’s windows with small tables in front of them. He directed me to my chair and sat next to me.
“You know if you show my mom your plane she’s probably fall in love with you.” I laughed at how ridiculous this all was.
“Really?” He said smiling.
“But then again no amount of money would make you Greek in her eyes so I don’t know.” I smiled still overwhelmed with the enormity of it all. Lukas gave me a side look, the man wasn’t amused.
“Well it’s fine because right now I have my hands full with one woman and she’s testing my patience.” He said in a not too pleased manner. I stuck out my tongue at him teasing him.
“Oh I spoke to your so called woman and she says she no longer has the desire to be with you anymore, her patience has run out. Sorry old friend.” I said sarcastically. His eyes narrowed.
“Oh really? Is that why she decided to go out on a date with someone her mother set her up with? Causing me to fly down and get her?” I swallowed hard, shit I was in trouble. Hey wait a damn minute.
