Billionaire Daredevil In Love

Nadine:

On the way back home, I thought about what Enzo had said about loving me and a wholesome feeling spread around my body. I had seen it in his eyes that he was being sincere, that he was speaking the truth and it melted my heart. Enzo had said that he could tell that I was also falling for him, and I wondered if it was that obvious, whether I had given myself away so easily by my smiles, or gestures, or the way I spoke. So when I got home, I called him, even before I slipped out of my dress.

“I’m in love with you, too, Enzo,” I said. “I know that you already know that, but I have to admit it to your hearing.”

There was a long silence as we each waited for the other person to speak. I could hear him breathing, and I wondered if he felt relief at what I said, or a rush of emotions that disoriented him.

“I … Nadine, I don’t know what to say,” he said.

“Well, you don’t have to say anything, Enzo,” I said. “Love is a beautiful thing, and we’re both in love with each other. I don’t want to fight it, Enzo, I really don’t. I haven’t felt like this – loved, I mean – in such a long time, and I’m not going to deny myself that pleasure.”

“Neither have I, Nadine,” he said. From the way he said it, I could tell that he was smiling.

“So … where do we go from here?” I asked. “What do we do as new lovers?”

He sort of giggled and it made me laugh.

I asked him the question while the elephant in the room – Clayton – still remained with us. But I had told him already, love and affection had been denied me by everyone else until he came. Perhaps I was rushing towards something that I had been deprived of, but Enzo seemed like the most reasonable and suitable person to be in love with. I was happy.

“Well, I’m not leaving the city, that’s for sure,” he said. “So this means we will get to see each other often.”

“Yeah,” I said. “I like that.”

“As a matter of fact, Nadine,” he continued, “I am going to sign some papers tomorrow for the purchase of a house. A mansion. Somewhere I can stay while I oversee the administrative work of the new branch of my company.”

“Ohh, that is so lovely,” I said.

“You can come around there some time, if you want,” he said.

“I sure will, Enzo,” I said.

After we finished talking, I got out of my dress, had my bath and lay on the bed to sleep. In the room next door, Clayton and Natasha were having loud sex. It had become a nightly ritual. They would invite over a few girls and make noise till the next morning, often disturbing my sleep. It used to bother me, but that night, as I slept, it didn’t. All I could think of was how warm Enzo’s hands had been when he held me, and the smile on his face.

Enzo:

I couldn’t contain my joy that night. It was the best piece of news I had received. So I got out of my bed and had a few more drinks, but this time, not to mope and wallow in the mire of my sorrow, but just to celebrate. The next day, I met a client I had been talking to and he took me to a house, a big one, but not quite as big as Clayton’s. I signed the papers and paid the money and in a moment the house was mine. I called Nadine immediately.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Guess what,” I said, excited like a little boy that had just gotten hold of a really cool toy.

“Ohh, I hate guesses,” she said.

I let out a belly deep laugh.

“Okay, okay, I’ll tell you, then,” I said. “I just paid for the house, signed the papers a few minutes ago.”

“Excellent,” she said. “This feels like a dream, Enzo, you being so close is something I never thought would happen.”

“Well, I guess some dreams do come true, Nadine,” I said.

“Of course they do,” she said.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

“Ohh, I’m on the way to see my sister at the hospital,” she said.

“Ahh, that’s cool, I hope she’s doing alright,” I said. “I was wondering if we could meet up later, you know, complete what we started yesternight.”

“And what was that?” She asked, a hint of a tease in her voice.

“Well, we’ll just hang, you know,” I said. “Have a few drinks, talk.”

“Okay.” She said, “Still at the hotel?”

“Yeah, at the hotel,” I said. “I can’t move into the house now. I have to have them clean it up, and then I also need to get employees that will help around in the house and all that stuff. It’s gonna be a few days, really, before I can move in.”

“Okay, then,” she said. “We’ll see later. I’ll make sure I’m there.”

I felt like a teenager experiencing love for the first time and was filled with unquantifiable joy. I went to attend a meeting with a couple of company executives and finalize the commencement of our company’s operations in the city. At the end of the meeting, we flagged it off.

Later that night, I got dressed and waited for Nadine to come and meet me at the hotel. I decided that we would stay in my room this time, and not the bar. She called and told me she had already left, but one and a half hours later, there was no sight of her. I got up and started to pace the room, nervous, worried that something had happened to her. I tried calling her, but the line was bad. Just as I collapsed on my bed out of worry, I heard a knock at the door. When I opened it, she was standing there, all gorgeous.
