|| VALENTINA's POV ||
" I am going to use the washroom.", I told Lorenzo, smiling as he was busy devouring the sweet, sour prawn, his favorite. I began to pay attention to these small details of his life. Since we were officially a couple now, I had to know every detail of him.
These days, my bladder feels charged frequently. The doctor said that it was nothing uncommon since my baby was growing big and healthy. I had a feeling that he was going to be mamma's boy.
The bathroom was pretty distant. I couldn't see Lorenzo after I walked far away in this corner. Right after, I used the bathroom and came outside, I bumped into a man whom I barely recognized,
" Valentina?"
I raised my head in surprise, shocking to see the rich heir, Rick who used to visit the bar too often during my shows. He was a regular guest at that time. So, it was impossible for me to say that I didn't recognize him. I gave him a small smile, not wishing to prolong the chat here,
" Ye..Yes..Hello Mr.Rick..."
He gave me his crooked smile. Eyeing me up to down, he commented with a sarcastic remark,
" You have changed. I have never seen you dressing up so formally outside. Honestly, I liked your stage performance a lot. But I heard that you have left the bar. Where are you performing these days?"
I responded with a polite smile, feeling awkward to tell him about my life because I was here with Lorenzo,
" I..I am on hiatus from work. Mr.Rick, if you don't mind, I would like to go now. I have a guest waiting for me."
I tried to walk past him, having no idea that he had no intention to let me go. He extended his arms to block my way suddenly, chuckled with a smirk,
" Easy! What is so rushed about? I want to know why you stopped so suddenly. Are you having a boyfriend or no one is giving you work?"
Now, it was getting annoying because he was digging up too many personal questions. I sighed heavily and made my words clear with a sharp glare,
" Mr.Rick. This isn't the right place to talk about. I am really in a hurry. I should go back to my seat now."
I attempted to push his hand away to cross the entrance but he grabbed my arms tightly, sneering,
" Why are you acting like a bitch? Opps..You are a bitch already. Don't you show your body for money? Why don't you show it to me? I can give you a lot of money."
My rage erupted so suddenly. Turning around, I slapped hard right across his cheeks to spat angrily,
" Mr.Rick!! I was trying to be polite with you but you have crossed the boundaries by insulting my profession. Yes, I might be a stripper but I don't sleep around with men."
He held his cheeks in awe and disbelief. The following moment,he gripped my hair, pushing me forward angrily,
" You bitch! How dare you lay your hands on me? Now, I am going to fuck you hard like a bitch."
I cried out for help, afraid of my baby,
" LORENZO!! HELP!!"
Mr.Rick held me tighter, dragging me into the washroom like a caged beast. Before he could trap me inside, the door was kicked open hard. Lorenzo stood there, fire in his eyes as he dashed forward to kick him off from me. His raged voice echoed with a growl with the sound of kicking Mr.Rick,
" Bastard! How dare you hurt my woman?"
Mr.Rick recognized Lorenzo, shock appeared on his features. He tried to break free from Lorenzo's clutch, sneered pointing at me,
" You and this woman... Lorenzo.. Are you mad? She is a fucking stripper!!"
Lorenzo growled furiously, raising his hand again to punch Rick on the face,
" Say that again!! I will kill you right here!!"
Their fighting caught the attention of restaurant authority. The staff all rushed here to stop their fighting but Mr.Rick didn't stop cursing me in front of everyone,
" Lorenzo!!! You raised your hand on me because of a stripper? You are dating a fucking stripper! You are just a shame! You are just a shame even to be our business partner. I will tell my father how you treated me today. Our company will no longer work with each other."
Rick's words were being heard by the hotel staff and a few more curious guests who came to see what was the commotion here. I saw disgust in their eyes as they looked my way. Tears welled up my eyes when I understood that Lorenzo's business was affected because of me.
Lorenzo sneered at Rick confidently, scoffing at him,
" Go away!!! I don't need any fuckers like you or your father!!"
__________
Lorenzo was driving the car too fast. After the restaurant incident, he looked so mad that his face was glowing red. I was silently shedding tears, feeling guilty for him. I shouldn't have agreed to date him at the beginning. Now, he was ruining his reputation all because of me. We never deserved each other.
I felt a burn in my throat. With an exhale, I finally muttered weakly, looking at the passing trees blankly,
" I..I am sorry...we..we shouldn't have dated.. Lorenzo..you still have time to decide.."
I couldn't believe that my first date was ruined like this. Instead of being happy, we both were mad. As soon as those words flew out of my mouth, the car pulled into a halt with a loud whip sound. Lorenzo's deep voice scared the shit out of me,
" What did you say?"
I sucked a sharp breath. Pulling my eyes on him with tears, I mumbled in a confident voice,
" We shouldn't have dated..It was okay about being a surrogate but this dating..is going to ruin both of us.. Lorenzo.."
However, the rest of my words were blocked because of his strong ferocious kiss. He grabbed me hard to smash his lips against mine. After a while, I felt the seat buckling and it fell down, turning into a flat bed with Lorenzo, kissing me hard.
His kiss was rough and wild. I could tell that he was still mad, infuriating. The fact that he didn't start fucking me hard already because of the baby. I didn't resist and gave him time to calm down. He responded after biting my lips down, still breathing hard through his nose,
" Don't you ever say that! It was my choice to date you..I fell for you the moment I saw you protecting me in front of my father. It has nothing to do with your reputation. I love you just because you are you."
Hot tears slipped past my eyes. No one ever spoke to me with so much sincerity and love. I always thought that I was an unfortunate girl who had no one in her life. After today, I felt that it was worth all the suffering because I met Lorenzo.
His dark eyes pierced through my mind, burning with raw desire. After a short while, he cursed while breathing hard,
" Shit! I have to fuck you now, Valentina. I need you!"
He started undoing his zippers hastily. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his impatient but the car sex looked excited towards me. Before he could lift up my skirt to take the final lead, his phone started to buzz loudly. Without stopping, he just turned on the speaker to answer the call. His assistant's voice sounded nervous and shaking,
" Sir! Did you have a fight with Mr.Rick? The video.. well.. someone has given it to the Media..It is going around slowly... "
