Bullied To Love novel Chapter 21

I walk to the only door on the floor. I open the door with the code Enzo gave me. I step into the penthouse; the living room is painted brown and black with brown couches, a big black sleek TV in the middle of the living room. I sit down on the seat by the windows so I could look at the beautiful streets of New York. I switch on the TV to catch up on the latest gossip on E-News. While I am watching TV, I decide to call Sofia to tell her I am back and to find out how things are going on with her fiancé and the baby. I take my phone from my bag and dial her number.

"Hey babe," I say as soon as she picks up.

"How are you? How was your vacation? Tell me all about it," she says sounding happy to hear my voice and get the details on the trip.

"It was amazing Sofia. It was the best week of my life. Enzo was so nice, loving, caring, to put it short he was the ideal boyfriend. I saw a different side of Enzo, a side of him that I never saw before in my life." I say smiling while remembering all the amazing things Enzo and I did during the trip.

"Wow, you must have really had fun. I am so happy for you guys. Are you guys officially dating?"

"About that! I don't know; I would love to ask Enzo where we are at, but at the same time I don't want to seem like the pushy type. And it’s not like we have been together for a month or so. It was just a week vacation, so I am not going to say anything for now."

"I totally understand what you are saying. I wish you guys all the best in your relationship.”

“Thank you, and how is the baby doing.”

“The baby is fine. I am at the hospital right now. I will talk to you later. It’s my turn to see the doctor."

"Alright bye, say hi to the baby for me," I say, hanging up the phone. I turn my back to see Enzo walking in and not looking very happy.

"Hey, who were you talking to on the phone," he says as he kisses me on the cheeks while he sits beside me. He pulls me close to him.

"I was talking to your sister. Is something wrong?" I say wrapping my arms around him too.

"Oh, nothing you need to worry yourself about. Do you mind if you spend the night over? I am really too tired to take you back home."

"No, I don’t mind at all. I will just send a message to my mom that I will be back tomorrow so she won’t be worried" I say and start texting mama that I won't be coming home tonight.

"That's great, now come let’s go to bed," he says while we stand up from the couch. We make our way to the bedroom.

Once we are in the bedroom, a thought comes to my head. It is something I have been meaning to ask Enzo. I think this is the best time to ask.

"Enzo, can I ask you something?" I say, stepping closer to him to get his full attention.

"Sure, Bella, what is it?" he says, turning to face me. He makes us sit on the bed.

"I have been meaning to ask you since we are... whatever we are. Am I still going to work at the company or...” I am sure a lot of girls might disagree with me about asking Enzo. But I feel like I have all the right to, because I know a lot of men who won’t like the woman who they have relationships with working in the same company as them or especially working for them. So, I asked him so I will know before Monday morning if I will need another job.
