Billionaire's Bed by luisavilaok (romantic story to read txt) 📗

I sketch a slight smile and agree to look for glasses, wine from a small fridge where I always keep something when it comes to treating someone to something.

And I take it place it on the table and discover the pieces of sushi. They are a lot and look great.

“It's too much!”

“Not when it comes to putting meals together. I would devour five of these.”

"You look well-fed," I say, uncorking the wine and pouring it into both glasses. “In fact, I would judge that you are.”

"My routine opposes it, my training demands it, and my trainer feels like murdering me. So you're right and at the same time maybe not.”

"That salmon tastes great."

"Isn't that right? Try it in sweet and sour sauce. It's fabulous.”

"Hmmm, actually yes."

Some of it falls out of my mouth as I eat and he giggles. Me too, embarrassed.

"I'm glad to see you happy," he assures.

I wipe myself with a napkin from the package.

"In fact," he adds, "I am very sorry to have caused any harm to you. Believe me that the last of my intentions is to hurt you.”

“I…Leonardo…”

“And I don't want you to feel pressured by my stupid feelings either. I promise I won't mix business with personal again, it was terribly stupid what I did this morning, but your courage showed me how wrong I was.”

"Well...yes, it was childish."

“And stupid. Do you forgive me?”

“Hmmm.”

He raises his glass.

I also hold mine and he offers me a toast:

“What if we start from scratch? For our ‘restart’.What do you say?”

“Right from the start? Can we?”

"Let's try it. What do you say? I want to make things right with you, Gigi… Right forever. What do you think?”
