The girls made it to the house in record time. They couldn’t believe the ice king was taking me out on a date.

“What made him soften?” Robin curled up on the bed, a gleeful smile on her gorgeous face.

“After the engagement, we worked things out. He confessed he wanted me and said he couldn’t believe he almost fucked this up.” My cheeks blushed at the reminder of what happened after.

“Damn right he did. But the rock made up for it a little too. Who picked it out?” Tay questioned; I knew she was skeptical of Lorenzo, but she was a tough one to crack.

“He did.” I smiled shyly as I toyed with the band on my finger.

“Wow, I have to say I’m impressed. What else happened last night?” Her eyes gleamed with mischief. She knew what happened, but she wanted me to spell it out.

“We came home.” I blushed.

“Did he fuck you until morning? That’s what I want to know.” Tay giggled; her mouth was almost as crude as Lorenzo’s. “Did that hate finally turn into something else?”

“We had sex, yes,” I shyly responded while I waited for the eruption of squeals.

“Oh my fucking god, YES!” Robin jumped up on the bed, her hands clapping, as Tay squeezed me hard enough to snap me in half.

“Okay, calm down, it’s not that big of a deal.” I laughed as Tay dropped me suddenly.

“Not that big of a deal? You finally lost your virginity and to a man you hated! What the hell changed?!”

“A lot. I can’t explain it. Something clicked with us yesterday when we kissed, and the rest is history.” It’s true, something clicked with us. I know he felt it as much as I did, otherwise he wouldn’t have said the things he did.

“Well, I am incredibly happy for you, baby! I knew he would prove himself.” Robin jumped off the bed and wrapped her arms around me. “Isn’t that right, Tay?”

“Yes, I hope he continues to treat you right because I’ll castrate him if he doesn’t.” Tay winked as she joined in the embrace.

“I’ll keep that in mind, although I’m sure I can do it myself.”

“Where’s the fun in that?” These girls meant the world to me. They were with me through the good and bad times.

“Nobody is going to have to castrate Lorenzo, he will look after our girl.” Robin was always so sure, she tried to see the best in everybody despite who they were, and Lorenzo was no different in her eyes.

“So, are you going to give us all the juicy details?” Tay asked as we collapsed on the bed, and of course, I did.

I checked the time on my phone, seven fifty-five. I gave myself a once-over in the mirror since the girls had gone to town on my look tonight. My locks were poker straight without a hair out of place. Robin had outdone herself on my make-up. It was a hidden talent of hers, and boy, did she smash it tonight. Tay had chosen a skintight emerald dress that hugged me in all the right places before it stopped above the knee. We teamed it with black, barely-there heels with delicate straps. I picked up my clutch as I heard the front door close. My heart picked up pace thinking about seeing Lorenzo.

“Anastacia, are you ready?” His voice was faint from the lobby, but I heard him clear enough.

I hurried out of the bedroom as I made my way to the top of the stairs. If my heart quickened before, then it almost stopped as I saw him. He waited at the foot of the stairs dressed in what looked like another fresh white shirt open at the collar and rolled up to his elbows, he had tucked it into his freshly pressed black suit pants, concluding the look with his Oxfords. He stood with his hands in his pockets as he still hadn’t noticed me. I had to admit this man looked nervous tonight but somehow that only made him look sexier.

He glanced at his watch as I suddenly caught his eye. I hadn’t even descended the stairs yet towards him, I was too busy drinking him in because until this moment I never appreciated how handsome he was.

“You look beautiful,amore.” That was the first time I heard his mother tongue. He always called melove, and I liked it, but this gave me a different feeling.

“Thank you. I didn’t know what to wear since you didn’t give much away this morning.”

“Trust me, you look perfect, are you ready?” His smile melted, and just like that, I felt unable to move. “Anastacia?”Fuck.

“I’m ready, let’s go.” I smiled as I hurried down the stairs, maybe a little too quick for his liking.

“Will you slow down; those shoes are a hazard.” His eyes rolled so far back they just about disappeared.

“Oh, behave yourself. They’re half the height I normally wear.” I smirked as I reached him. Even with heels, I still had to crane my neck to meet his penetrating gaze.
