Chapter 59

“It’s so hot. Why is he taking so long?” Hayley complained as she crashed her back against the seat

of the car.

It had been about ten minutes since Dante had seen us to the car then said he needed to use the ⚫bathroom and that he would be back at any moment. He was gone for a little too long by now since the bathrooms were not very far from where we had parked but who knew what new food could do to ones stomach.

“I’m sure that he will be back any moment now.” I assured her but turned to crane my n*eck to see if I could spot any sign of Dante returning.

“I want water.” Hayley whined and I sighed also beginning to feel the heat.

“We will be back at the house in a few minutes.” I said to her as I checked again for Dante.

I let out the largest sigh of relief when I spotted him closer to the car than I was prepared for. His hair blew in the breeze and I noticed then just how casual he was dressed. A pair of beige shorts that ended just above his knee, a golfer that was tucked in, and a belt that held it together at the waist was such a different look to what he usually wore. His signature suit was not worn at all and I itched to know if he had even packed one for the trip at all.

“There he is.” I said to Hayley still looking at Dante when I noticed a leggy blonde wearing a candy red dress that was scandalously low as were her n*eckline.

She saw Dante, looked him up and down before she walked over to him then faked a trip and crashed right in to his arm. Instinctively, Dante caught her by her arms right before she could fall to the floor but in that split second, her heaving chest brushed against the front of his shirt before he steadied her.

I felt my nostrils flare and a sudden heat rose in my face. My hands balled up in to fists in my lap as I watched the woman reach out and grasp Dante’s bicep. Her manicured fingers toyed with a tendril of over her shoulder and she faked an apology just to engage Dante in conversation.

He waved a hand to dismiss her apology but she still hadn’t let go of his bicep. I grit my teeth and with out thinking I pushed the door open.

“Dante.” I waved him over with a wide sinile causing both Dante and the woman to turn in my direction.

The woman looked at me with irritation etched in to her face and I didn’t want to look at Dante’s face right now.

Hayley popped her head up through the door. “We’re waiting for you. I need water. She said and I saw the woman grimace drawing the conclusion that Hayley was Dante’s daughter.

She immediately backed away and tried to smile but failed. instead her face looked like it was malfunctioning before she swung around and walked away.

I shut the door before Dante could make another move and I did my seat belt. Oh, my god. I couldn’t believe that I acted out of jealousy and my mind reacted so irrationally.
