《Cuore Mio》Chapter Twenty Five - Shopping

Finally ! The weekend is here !
Was the first thing I thought of in the morning.
I'm going to invite Alex, Liam and Kim over. Even Dante could join, if he isn't working, that is.We'll watch movies, and eat pizza all night.
Overly excited, I jumped out of the bed and started playing music on my phone. I walked to the bathroom and started my day by brushing my teeth.
"Thank God the week is done
I feel like a zombie comin' back to life" I sang the song, while peeing.
"Haaands up, and suddenly we all got our hands up
No control of my body
Ain't I seen you before?
I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
Eyes, eyes, eyes !"
Going into the shower, I continued singing,
"Cause baby toniiiight,
DJ got us fallin' in love agaiiin
Yeah, baby toniiight,
DJ got us fallin' in love agaiiin
So dance, dance,
Like it's the last,
Last night of your life, life
Gon' get you right
'Cause baby toniiight,
DJ got us fallin' in love again !"
After giving a private concert to all of my shampoo bottles, I went to my closet and selected an outfit.
I wore a short sleeved sky blue t-shirt and white shorts.
Putting moisturizer on my face and lip balm on my lips, I tied my hair into a loose ponytail and headed out of my room.
I was on my way to the kitchen, when I heard the most annoying voice in my entire life.
"What are you doing here ?" Violet asks, venomously.
She was wearing a blouse that practically covered nothing and the same goes for her skirt.
"I live here." I said, knowing that she would angry about it. Violet has a little crush on Dante. And by little, I mean she's obsessed.
"Why ? Are you his maid ?" She asked, trying to annoy me.
"Well, I thought that was your job." I retort.
"Didn't I tell you to leave ?" Dante's said, interupting my roasting session in the process.

I looked towards him and took in his appearance. He was wearing a black Armani suit. His hair was neatly styled, his eyes meet mine.
He smiled.
"I was going to but then -" Violet tries to explain but stopped when Dante held his hand up.
"I don't need an explanation. Please leave." He said, being polite.
When Violet left the front door, Dante spoke up.
"How are you up so early ? You know it's the weekend, right ?"
"I'm excited because I'm going to call Liam, Kim and Alex over tonight. You know, like a party." I explained, excitedly.
"Oh.." He said, his eyes showing a little sadness in them but it went as soon as it came.
Ookkaaayy......
"Aren't you going to work today ? If you are, then you're veeerrry late..." I said, dragging the word 'very'.
"I was planning to, but then Noah called me and said that he needed to talk to me soon." Date explained.
Noah ? Who's that ? Did he ever tell me ? Maybe he did and I forgot...
"Turns out that the stalker, from last week, is indeed working for the American mafia. His name isn't known yet."
Looking at my confused face, he chuckled. "Noah works for me. He is the best tracker, hacker and assassin that I know."
The best tracker, hacker AND assassin he knows ?
Damn, that Noah guy is skilled !
I know a little off all of that, but I'm not the best at all of them.
"Well, are you going to go now ?" I asked, pretending to be sad.
"Yeah." He nodded.
"Don't you ever want a break ? Like a day you don't work....at all ?" I asked, genuinely curious.
"I do, but I can't be lazy." Dante shrugged.
"Remember, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." I told him.
"Firstly, I'm not Jack. Secondly, I'm a man." He said, putting his hands in the pockets of his suit.
"Yeaahhh, right." I said, sarcastically. "You wanna stay home today ?"

"Nah...I'm good." He said, knowing I wanted him to stay.
"Pleeeeeeeaaasseeee ?" I dragged the word.
"Nope." Dante denied.
"Preeeettyyy pleeeaasseee ?"
"No, Azalea. I have to go."
"Whhyyyy ?" I whined. "Noooo.."
"Fine. I'll stay home today." He huffed.
"Pleeasee ?"
Wait. Did he just say 'yes' ?
"Yes ?" I asked, maybe I didn't hear properly.
"Yeah." He confirmed, smiling.
"Okay." I smiled in satisfaction. "We need to buy a few snacks for tonight. Come on."
"I'll go change." He said turning to the staircase.
Holding his arm, I stopped him. "No time for that. We need to leave now of we want to arrange the party for tonight."
"Alright. Wait." He sighed.
Dante removed tie and his suit jacket, tossing it on the couch. Then, he unbuttoned the sleeves of his shirt and folded them till his elbows.
It is just me or did he just get ten times hotter ?
We walked out of the house after I took my phone and purse. I went going to let him pay for the groceries.
Since the grocery store was nearby, we walked to it. There were many paparazzi people around but Dante managed to hide from them.
Going into the store, I took the basket like thing and Dante followed me.
I didn't buy a lot because his house was already stocked with food. I just needed to buy junk food because he never kept much of that.
To be honest, I'm not sure how I'm not fat. I eat a lot, and almost never workout.
Oh well, good for me.
I decided to buy two packets of chips and a tub chocolate chip ice cream, enough for all of us. Dante said that I could buy more but I didn't want to.
When we were going towards the counter to pay, a jar of peanut butter caught my sight.
I've always liked peanut butter, but I hadn't eaten it in over a year now. Tempted by the looks of the jar, I pulled Dante's arm and went to that area.
The jar that I wanted was on the top shelf, so I couldn't reach it. When Dante saw me struggling, he started laughing; but not helping me.
"Get that for me ?" I asked him, in an overly sweet voice.
"Nah..." He said, controlling his laughter.
"Fine. I'll do it myself." I said stubbornly and tried climbing on the previous shelves to reach the top.
"No, don't do that. You might hurt yourself." He said, stopping me before I could climb any further.
"I'll do it." He said, taking the jar and putting it in the basket.
"Aw... you're so kind..." I cooed at him, messing his hair.
"Stop that, Azalea..." He groaned.
Just then, I heard a voice behind us. "Remember when we were a young couple like that ? Both of you make a cute couple."
I turned around and saw an old couple behind us. They had to be about 60 years old....at least.
"Oh, we're not a cou-" I stopped when Dante spoke.
"Thank you, Ma'am." He said.
Heh ? What's wrong with this guy ? We're not a couple.
When they walked away, I asked him, "Why did you lie to them ? It's not good to lie, Dante."
"Mmmhhmmm......." He hummed nonchalantly while walking to the counter.
This time, I was the one following him.
"I'm paying, Dante." I told him when I saw him reaching for his wallet.
"Nope, I will." He argued.
Not again ! This man will be the death of me !
"You paid for lunch that day. I'm paying." I said, firmly.
He didn't say anything back so I paid the cashier and we left the shop with the bags.
He tried taking all the bags from me saying that it would be a long walk.
Listening to him, I willingly gave the bags and walked beside him.
Time to paaartaaay !
