chapter Twenty-Two

Paying Attention

Lorenzo

When I woke this morning, Victoria wasn’t beside me. I was still groggy and started to panic. When I fully woke, I heard the shower running in the bathroom and relaxed.

I got out of bed to get her a shirt to put on, while I washed her clothes she came in. I heard the shower cut off, while I was in the closet. I wondered if my mother put enough towels in the bathroom yesterday.

I came out of the closet to find Victoria in a towel sitting on the bed, staring at her cell phone. I walked over and handed her one of my dress shirts. She looked up and smiled, taking the shirt.

I could see the tears welling in her eyes, but she turned so I wouldn’t see them fall. I reached for her chin, pulling her face back towards me. I kissed away the tears that had escaped. I decided maybe she needed a moment to herself, so I let her face go and headed for the bathroom.

I took a long shower to clear my head. I needed to get my properties straight. First, I wanted to get her to eat something. She’d left the fruit untouched.

Next, I wanted to know what was really going on with her and her family. Then, there was the matter of her wanting to run away. I couldn’t let that happen.

If she didn’t want to go home or even stay here with me. I know that there’s another unit available here in my building. I would secure it for her. She wouldn’t have to worry about anything, I would take care of her.

I would even get her another car if she needed, so she didn’t have to overuse the Maserati. I could tell she loved her car, I watched the way she treated it. Sometimes she would drive one of Maria’s cars just to give it a break.

The last thing on my agenda was finding out where we were taking our relationship. Though it was heavy on my mind, it would have to wait. The other things were more important. I wasn’t going to be selfish. I would do this right, this time.

Once I had my list in order, I finished up my shower and toweled off. I grabbed the robe from off the door, putting it on. When I entered the room, Victoria was talking softly on the phone. I didn’t want to interrupt, so I just made my way to the closet and closed myself in, while I got dressed.

This gave me a few more minutes to think of what to say to get this started. I wanted to avoid making her upset. A light tap came at the closet door, as I pulled my shirt on and began closing the buttons. I was fully clothed at this point.

“Come in,” I called.

Victoria opened the door and walked into the large walk in closet. Victoria stood close to the door, watching me, as I finished buttoning my shirt. She looked tired, but still beautiful.
