(KIRA’S POV)
___________________
An hour later, Lena had freshened up and was wearing the sumr gown she had arrived in last night. We had gone through my entire wardrobe, trying to find sothing appropriate she could wear to the Royale because she was going there in an official capacity. More like pretending to be in an official capacity. However, we found nothing.
Lena and I had different body types. While I am thick, she was petite, and my clothes were a little big for her, if not she would have worn from my collection. And for this, she couldn’t go straight to the hotel, she still had to return ho to get proper clothes.
I was on the bed as I watched her adjust her makeup one final ti, she was just so beautiful and breathtaking. I got up from the bed and walked up to her, slowly wrapping my arms around her waist as I snuggled up against her.
"Co on," she chuckled as she turned to the side to study her fra. "What is it?"
"I’m just sad that you know... I couldn’t help with your wardrobe situation," I told her.
"Co on, I already told you it’s no big deal. I was going to get ho this morning anyway, even if I wasn’t going to the Royale, I would have had to go to work, and you know that I can’t turn up in a gown like this. I was going ho either way."
"So, you knew that when you were coming, you could have co along with a dress."
She nodded at her reflection in the mirror, "honestly, I didn’t think about that. Because my girlfriend sounded so frantic on the phone and scared the shit out of . I just wanted to get here as soon as possible."
"Co on," I said. "I was a ss last night, you have no idea how hard it was for to get back control of myself."
"Well, I’m glad you’ve got that under wraps." She said, finally done.
She made to step away from my embrace so she could pick up her purse and phone but I held on tight to her.
"Babe..." she muttered. "I thought we agreed that ti was of the essence?"
I let out a sigh, "I’ve just been thinking, maybe you don’t have to be experiencing these wardrobe issues anymore. Maybe we can fix that."
She turned then to look at , "What are you talking about?"
I swallowed as I looked at her, "There’s space in my wardrobe, maybe a couple of your clothes would fit in. No scratch that, I’m sure your clothes would fit right in."
She squinted her eyes at , "You want to move in?"
"Not yet..." I said hurriedly. "I know that would be too quick and quite foolish now that we have eyes on us. But, you’re here a lot and you always stay the night. With so clothes here, you won’t have to go ho first and simply go straight to work."
"Yeah..." she nodded, "but then, it could also an that on so days I can just co here straight without having to go ho."
"So, you see? It’s a great idea, right?"
However, Lena didn’t seem to be feeling my enthusiasm, "Kira, I love the idea, believe , I do. But this is a pretty big step, are you sure about this?"
"Of course," I told her. "There’s no rush to this, okay? It’s not like I’m asking you to move in. Yet."
"Having my clothes here ans that I’d be staying for days at a ti, this is progress. But then, you’re also hesitant to tell our friends about us. This could raise a lot of questions, are you ready for them?"
I nodded, "I know what I’m doing, Lena. This is the right move, believe ."
"Okay then," she said as she nodded. "I’d be bringing in so of my clothes little by little any ti I co in."
I couldn’t stop the smile that ca up, "No... don’t bring anything. We can buy new ones instead. I want to take you shopping, babe."
"What?" her eyes blanched as she stepped back to look at . "What is wrong with you this morning? Did sothing happen to my girlfriend while I was in the bathroom? I know very well that you’ve been trying your best to make sure no one sees us together, but now you want to go shopping? What is going on?"
I laughed at that as I pulled her closer, "Co on, nothing is going on. Besides, we won’t be shopping in Silicon Valley. We could go to Italy or sowhere else over the weekend, and have so fun while shopping."
"But work..."
I placed a finger on her lip, silencing her, "You’re gonna have to figure it out. And that’s not a request. Just open up your weekend for , I’ll take care of everything else."
"Babe... are you sure this is okay? With Maven still out there, we could be giving him more tools to blackmail you with."
I thought about it and smiled wryly, Lena had no idea, but this was all part of my plan. Italy was only going to be the first stage of what I had stored for everyone. I couldn’t tell her the plan just yet because I didn’t want her bias to ruin everything for . I was sure that when it was over, she would be pissed, but by then we would have everything that we want. I’m sure that would quell any misgivings she would have.
"Don’t worry, babe." I assured her, "I’ll take care of it."
"I trust you, my love." She said as she wrapped her arms around my waist as well.
I leaned in then and kissed her deeply. I could taste her lipstick but I didn’t care as I kissed her deeply, pulling her even closer to . The kiss only lasted for a short while before she pulled away, breathing hard.
"Mistress, I have to go." She said, her lipstick had been ssed up by the kiss, but she easily fixed it.
I chuckled as I stepped away from her, I knew that if I stayed too close, I wouldn’t be able to keep my hands off her.
"You can go, just know that there will be more when you get back here!"
Lena smiled as if I had just promised her a lifeti of candy. She glanced one last ti at the mirror, then she picked up her purse and phone. Then with a little wave, she turned and walked out of the bedroom, her gown swaying in the wind in tune with her movents. By the ti I got to the living room, I saw that she was wearing a nosemask and she also had her hair covered.
I chuckled, "You know that Maven can’t be here, right? It’s just too secure."
"We can’t be too careful, my love. I’ll see you later, okay?" She said as she blew a kiss and then walked out of the house.
I stayed at the open door until I heard her car drive off, I then walked back in and locked the door behind .
I let out a deep sigh as I hurried back to the bedroom and opened up my laptop. I had my plans formulated in my head. This trip to Italy was going to be more than just a romantic getaway with my girlfriend, it was going to be my cardinal move that would secure my spot in Beacon Studios, get Jace and Uncle Leo off my back, and also take care of Maven for . It was like killing three birds with one stone. And Lena was an integral part of it.
Beside , my phone beeped as a ssage popped in. When I checked it, it was from Casey, asking for Maven’s number.
"Shit..." I cursed. I could tell they were already making so sort of progress. If they wanted his number, it ant that they could use it to track him down. I wondered if giving him the number was wise considering how I needed to slow them down so I could find Maven first.
With a sigh, I dialed up another number, my uncle’s assistant. The number rang for a while before it was answered.
"Beacon Studios, this is Leo Windor’s office, how may I help you?"
"Abby," I said hurriedly. "This is Kira, is my uncle in?"
"Kira? Oh... I didn’t check the ID before answering. Having kind of a busy day here. Mr. Leo is in though."
"Good, make sure he’s open to see ."
"Right now, he’s having a conference call with so friends in Germany, but it’s not too important. However, he does have an important eting in an hour and it’ll only get worse for the rest of the day. So, if you want to see him, you better get here as soon as possible."
"Fine, I’m on my way!"
I closed my laptop and surged to my feet. My plan was already in motion. It was ti to take back what was mine!
