chapter 7
ROMAN'S POV
Of course she wouldn't expect me to understand her.
I'm Russian by birth but I have spent a good number of years in Italy.
I've basically grown up to become the man I am here but she doesn't know that.
She was still looking at me like I had grown a second head…Seriously?
"Ahem, Back to earth Giulia! "I snapped her out of her current comatose…
"You seem to get lost easily, Is that normal for you?"
"In my defense you never struck me as someone interested in the language since you're clearly Russian and infact have it's lingering accent" Fair point …
"You should never judge a book it's cover Miss Davide, and I basically grew up here in Italy so it's only natural I understand, but then I speak as well…" hope it sinks now…
"So why don't we start with the vitals hmm? What's there to really know about you, Giulia? "
She now shifted her full attention to me, damn those eyes…, and even biting those cherry lips, what I would do to have them between my teeth, fuck I need to get a grip!
"Yeah,of course…There's really not much to know.
I'm Giulia Davide, I'm 24 years old.
I grew up in Parlemo until the death of my father and brother, that's when I moved to Campania, and I guess you know the rest…
How about you Mr Vasslllev, I'm sure you have an interesting one" If only she knew…
"What makes you think that Miss Davide?"
"Well you're The Billionaire here, there has to be an interesting story behind you"
"Very well, atleast you're aware I'm self made.
I was born and brought up in Chita, a city in Russia.
At the age of twelve we relocated to Italy where my mother worked for a Rich house whose wealth came from the casino business, and that's where my passion bloomed from.
It didn't take time for The Head of The House to notice my enthusiasm with the casino, and then decided he put me in the field.
His wife however wasn't so pleased with this, she had us kicked out of the House not before her husband gave me His Journal, and that is how I became who I am".
Her eyes had now softened, this wasn't a sad story.
I've become This Man because of everything that happened, I mean I just needed to clarify how I became 'The Billionaire'.
My story was not so interesting neither was it tragic. I did not need this energy…
"Is there any other thing you want to know about me?" I'm not a fan of questions but if it'll take off this mood I don't mind.
"Do you have a girlfriend or someone you keep around ?" No, when I meant anything this wasn't part of it…
"Apart from you there's no other" Her cheeks now had a tinge of red causing me to smirk…
"You can't be serious?"
"And why not?"
"You can't look like this and not have anyone around "
"Well clearly if there was someone wouldn't she be here? And by 'look like this' what are you suggesting?" There it was again the red tinge, I had an effect on her, interesting…
"Err… Never mind, if you're certain there's no other person that's OK, I just don't want anyone to be vile towards me because I'm in their space. "
"I'm certain love, it's just You… , how about you, is there someone I should know about?"
It didn't go past me that she blushed even harder at mention of 'our public endearment' love inside here, I was beginning to enjoy this a little too much than I should…
"No, there's no one. " and if we continued like this she would turn into a red mess, so for her sake I'll drop it…
"Seems this topic is a little too sensitive, how about we move to something less sensitive hm…
We have atleast this month to show off then get married, I had made contact last month with Mr Vincenzo, so he'll definitely get the gist about us this month, he may also make contact soon enough…"
"Alright… So what's next?, like what to do to attract the public, dates?, balls?, dinners? What do you rich people do exactly?
"Well, depends on your area of expertise I think…
The big shot celebrities get to feature in Balls ,Gala's , Dinner Nights and other activities.
I on the hand happen to be in the Forbes line so it's mainly dinners and gala's which I hardly make appearances for…
Guess this year is about to be an interesting one"...
"How so?"
"The first time I show up, I'll be going with my fiancé, Isn't that interesting enough …"
"So we're going for a dinner one of these days?
"It appears so, but first we should go on a date sometime, that should prepare them for the main dinner"
That reminds me, I hadn't received any notification from the card I gave her last week, why was she hesitating to use it? …
"Have you used your card yet?"
"Err, no, I haven't really had a reason to, why?"
"Now you have a reason to. How about you and Viola go out sometime this week to get nice dresses for the coming activities hmm?"
"OK, so give me something, what's your poison ? Old Money or New Money? " OK, so I get to pick ei…
"Elaborate…"
"For starters, Old Money stands out for its elegance…
Old Money stands for class, it's subtle in a not so subtle way…
New Money is quite the opposite, it's rather flashy, visually impressive and attention getting…So what's your pick hm?"
"Old Money,
Be elegant for me, Represent class, it's how I play" she chuckled…
"Very well then… So when is our first date?"
"Today…"
It wasn't supposed to be today, Dmitry had only said he wanted to meet her sometime to get acquainted, but I couldn't help it now.
I just wanted to see her in a dress, she seemed to love the idea of getting dressed.
"Whoa, that was not expected, where are we going?"
"My Club… Plus My brother would love to meet you" and there's the expression again…
"What have I said this time again?"
"You have a brother? And he wants meet me?, Does he know we're not real?" urgh questions!
"I have a brother yes, He wants to meet you? Yes, and yes he knows we're not real"
"Ohh, okk, so what do I wear?" Really? I don't think she would appreciate my preference right now…I need to get out of here now.
"It's your call…"walking up to the door,
Surprise me love" and now I was at the door…
"I'll see you at 9, take care…" I gave her a quick forehead kiss because I know some paparazzi's were around.
Can't wait to see her tonight.
All dressed for me …
