| was dressed in the most expensive beautiful dress | had in my closet tonight, cause this is the night I'd be

meeting up with Marco. It was something that revealed quite a lot of skin that the oldnever got confident

enough to show, but after wearing stuff like this back in Italy, I've cto really like how I look in daring clothes

like this.

| literally couldn't contain my excitement. | was ridiculously happy, cause I'd dreamed of this day countless

times, and yes finally coming to pass.

| admired myself in the mirror, then | grimaced because | knew the dress wasn’t all that. What I actually wanted

to wear, was a black, daring dress which was a part of the dress Zane got forwhen we were still playing

pretend boyfriend and girlfriend. Back then, he had gotten a lot of clothes for me, way more than | could have

needed during our five days’ pretense, which was why | was yet to wear sof the dresses he got for me.

However, | decided against wearing any of those dresses tonight cause that would undoubtedly makethink

of Zane, and that was something | was seriously avoiding.

It’s hard not to think of him, cause he just kept coming into my mind at any given chance, which was honestly

starting to becquite irritating. | hated that he had refused to leave my head. Whenever | close my eyes, his

face just seemed to appear across my mind, and what was worst was that last night, | dreamt of him holding me

up against a wall and fuckinguntil I...

I instantly halted my train of thoughts, then | scoffed in disbelief on realizing that | was thinking about him once

again.

What the fuvk was wrong with me?

| marched away from the mirror, walked to my bed where | sat and wore my heels, and after doing the buckles, |

packed a few essentials into my purse, then | was ready to leave. | picked up my phone and read through the

messages which Marco sent tolast.

Marco: | can’t wait to see you tonight. Looking forward to our date. This is something I've wanted in forever.

As | read through the text again, | felt a grin tug at my lips, while my heart fluttered in my chest.

| felt giddy as hell, like a shy princess going to meet her prince tonight. Marco was my Prince Charming, has

always been, so | guess it's understandable forto feel this way. And the fact that he’s also looking forward to

tonight was the icing on the cake for me.

| checked myself out one last time, then | exited the house.

| took an Uber to the restaurant, which was an aesthetically pleasing one, and on stepping into the restaurant,

Marco was already waiting for me. He stood up and welcomedwith a grin, one which | bashfully returned

while shyly ducking my head.

He took my hand in his and | shivered a little as he helpedinto a seat and sat down as well, but he didn’t

release my hand, and when | glanced up, his eyes were onagain.

“You look beautiful.” He tellas his eves raked overand | smiled shyly while feeling happy as hell.

After that, he let go of my hand to poura glass of wine, then we both clinched our glasses together.

“Here's to the two of us.” He announced and my heart fluttered as | echoed those words after him, then we both

sipped our wine.

After we both lowered our glasses, a waiter cto take our order, then we were left alone. | let my eyes fully

drink him in, and this time, | didn’t hold back or try to glance away like I've been used to doing cause in the past,

| always made sure to never get caught checking him out when he was with Aisha. But Aisha wasn’t in the

picture any longer, so | could definitely look my fill.

His brow eyes seemed more beautiful tonigh, and his brown hair had been slicked back, making him look even

hotter than he used to be. He caughtstaring and winked a little.

“Look your fill away.” He drawled cockily and | huffed while rolling my eyes, then | sipped on my drink again.

“So...” | began and he nodded as he leaned forward.

“So.” He echoed.

“You said you were gonna explain everything totonight, from the very beginning.” | reminded him and he

nodded after a few moments.

“Of course. | didn’t forget.”

I nodded while swallowing emptily. “Okay... so, start from the beginning. Why did you dumpwhen you're still

in love with me?”

He exhaled slowly and minutes ticked by before he began to speak.

“So... | did that because my parents didn’t like you. They didn’t approve. They approved of Aisha, not you,” he

revealed and my mouth fell open, not out of shock that his shitty parents didn’t approve of me, but because he

dumpedbecause of them.

“Wow.” | muttered and he nodded tensely.

“But you cheated onwith her first.” | pointed out and he looked guilty as he nodded again.

“That was a mistake on my part, and it was cause | was so horny from wanting you so badly, but you refused to

let us fuck, so | seeked relief elsewhere while thinking of you.” He revealed, and | guess | should still be angry,

but right now, | feel flattered.

And | guess it’s because I've been over that for a long while.

“So, what if your parents still don’t approve ofnow that we're about to get together again?” | asked and he

Lwaved a hand as he spoke.

“You just leave that to me.”

A pleased thrill went through my insides at those words and | nodded as | sipped on my drink again. | felt

happy by his response. Marco never used to defendsince | could remember, but now he just said he would,

so | was pleased as hell.

“Okay.”

“I have another question though?” | began after about a minute. “Why did you constantly humiliatein front

of people despite knowing | didn’t appreciate it?”
