Arabella's POV

I get into the elevator to get to the penthouse when suddenly the thought of Toni came into my mind. I hope he is back. The elevator door opened and came in view and empty living room. I walked into the kitchen and finally saw the man I have been looking for. "Toni," I said in a low voice. He was sitting at the table with his hand rubbing his forehead. "Stella. WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN," he started screaming at me as he made his way towards me. I was about to reply when he continues. "Who was the guy who dropped you off," he said as he clenched his hand. "Toni calm down what is wrong with you," I said and I could see that he was fuming with anger. "Stella who the fuck is he," he yelled. "Why the fuck does it matter Toni? Stop yelling," I said at the top of my voice. Why is he getting so angry about this? "Stella just tell me," he said trying to lower his voice. I reached his clenching fist and he slowly relaxed under my hands. "I'm sorry I didn't inform you earlier. I had a meeting with a client and that was him who dropped me," I said and his gaze softened as he looked up at me. "Stella you got me so worried. Do you have any idea how many times I called you," he said and I slapped my head. "It was on vibration," I said as I removed my phone from my bag and saw nearly a hundreds of missed calls. I suddenly felt a wave of guilt hit me. "I'm sorry Toni," I said and lowered my gaze. "How dare he kiss you on the cheek," he said. I looked in his eyes and I could see hurt in his eyes. What am I suppose to get out of this? "I know I barely know him but he was just being nice Toni it's fine," I said. "NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO KISS YOU ANYWAY BECAUSE YOU ARE MINE," he said making my eyes widened. "Toni I'm not a piece of property that you own. I'm my own person who is free to be with whoever I want to be with and be kissed by whoever I want to," I said suddenly getting very angry. "Oh Stella you look so hot when you scream at me but love I didn't mean to offend you. I want to make this right so will you go on a date with me my beautiful Stella," he asked leaving me in total shock. "Oh look now it's the first time that you are actually asking me something and not ordering me," I joked trying to make the atmosphere less tense. "Stellaaaaaa," he said while laughing. "Okay fine I would love to go on a date with you Mr Giovanni," I said. He pulled me in his arms and kissed me like there is no tomorrow. "I have a two date before the first kiss policy Toni," I said jokingly as we pulled away to breathe. "Well sorry love but I love to break the rules because you are just too beautiful," he said and continued to kiss my neck. "Stella you are killing me," he said as I pulled away as I was getting ticklish. "Toni let's take it slow okay," I said. "Stella I'm taking this as slow as I can," he said as he placed a last kiss on my cheek. "Thank you Stella," he said and I looked at him with a soft gaze.

The following day, I went to the hotel alone because Toni had to attend some video conference. Everything is looking great. The majority of the decorating work is done thanks to the great number of workers that were available. "Ma'am most of the rooms in this region is done," he said and then I note it done and went to to check on the progress. It brings me so much joy to see my vision becoming a reality and on top of that I'm not even a professional. I was just supposed to be an intern but I ended up designing the hotel of Antonio Giovanni. He is one of the youngest businessmen. I am definitely lucky to have this opportunity. "Okay guys," I said loudly to get everyone's attention. "I'm sure you guys are tired now. I see that all of you are working really hard. Thank you guys so much. You guys can now go home and rest," I said and everyone squealed. I got a bunch of thank you and some of the workers talked me that I was the best leader that they ever had and that really touched my heart.

I just got to the penthouse after work and I decided to get a nice relaxing bath as I am very tired. When I got in the penthouse, I saw that Toni was not here, maybe he is still in his meeting. I went in my room and came in view with a box and a note on the bed. I went to the bed and grabbed the note. "My Stella get ready and put on the dress that is in the box and join me later. There is a car to take you to me downstairs. I am waiting for you," that was written in the note. Wow I thought those existed only in books. I opened the box and was mind blown by the dress in front of me.

After taking a shower, I put on the dress and some heels. I looked at myself in the mirror. Wow this dress fits me perfectly. I turned and checked how the backless was and I must say this is a beautiful dress that I probably would never even bother to buy for myself. I put my hair in a low bun and now I'm happy with how I look. I should be very careful when I eat because I don't wanna ruin this dress. With that thought, I left the penthouse with a big smile playing on my lips. I got outside the hotel and searched for my ride. "Are you Miss Diaz," a man asked as he came up to me and I nodded. "I'll be getting you to Mr Giovanni ma'am," he said so I followed him the car. After a few minutes, we reached the destination which is a nice fancy restaurant. The place is splendid. The entire restaurant is in black and white. The walls are white and the tables are white with marble patterns on them. I am so focused  the place that I didn't even see that woman that came up to me. "Good evening ma'am under what name have you made a reservation," the lady said in a very polite tone. "Good evening, I'm supposed to be here with Mr Giovanni," I said. "Oh well ma'am he has been waiting for you. Will you please follow me," she said as she led the way. We got upstairs and saw that the room was completely empty with the famous Antonio Giovanni in the middle of the room at a beautifully decorated table. There is a bouquet of beautiful roses in his hand. At that sight, I couldn't help but smile to myself. Toni made his way to me as the other woman left us to ourselves. He handed me the bouquet and grabbed my hand and placed a kiss on the back of it. I tried my best to hide my blush and failed miserably. "You look beautiful Stella," he said in a deep voice that made me feel like I was going to faint. "Thank you. You don't look bad yourself," I said as he holds my hand and leads me to the table. "Toni thank you for all this you really shouldn't have," I said. "Well Stella you are worth it so it doesn't matter," he said looking at me with those eyes that are making my knees weak. He looks so handsome. We ordered and then we started talking. Everything felt so natural when I'm with him. We talked and stared at each other. Can someone please just stop the moment? Am I dreaming of something? "No Stella this is definitely real. Is it that hard to believe," he said bringing me out of my thought. Crap I thought out loud. I looked at him and he was laughing at me. He looks so nice when he is laughing. "Are you seriously laughing at me Toni," I said jokingly. He looked at me with a shocked expression before laughing more when he saw that I was joking. We are really enjoying each others company when suddenly he looked nervous. "Stella thank you so much for coming on this date with me," he said making me smile. "The pleasure is all mine Toni. I haven't been on a real date before," I told him and he looked shocked. "Well I'm happy to be the first one Stella," he said and that made me smile. "Stella I feel something new whenever I'm with you and I want to make it right so Miss Arabella Stella Diaz will you do me the honor of becoming my girlfriend," he said and I could see a hint of fear in his eyes. I stared at him still processing what he just said. "I'll totally understand if you deny-" he said but I stopped him but squeezing his hand that I was holding. "I would love to be your girlfriend Toni but are you sure that you would be able to keep up with my craziness and weirdness," I said teasing him. "Well Stella, I'm ready for the whole package," he said making me laugh. "You are crazy," I said as he made him way to me. "Only for you Stella," he said leaning down to kiss me but I stopped him. "Toni no I'm wearing expensive lipstick right now," I said and he looked at me with his mouth hanging. "Stella are you being serious right now? Never mind I'll get you more," he said as he sealed our lips. If only I could stop time and stay here forever.
