Adrian's POV

*

After our second to the last exam, Diego came to pick me up at school while Kara left us to meet up with Stephano since they had an event to attend. There was no need for me to follow her back since Stephano had already hired a make-up artist who'd always show up whenever Kara needed to go out with him and her dress had been prepared. Another beautiful, floor length red dress.

Her boyfriend loved getting her red dresses and he'd always order them himself. He had a thing with seeing Kara in red. Funny how a billionaire with lots of responsibilities would take his time to go through dresses and chose one suitable for his girlfriend. How sweet.

I eyed Diego, feeling giddy as I watched Kara's car drive into the distance.

"How was your day?" I asked as we drove away from school and towards the main road.

"Same old same. Sandy is actually dating Mr Branch from the finance department. Just as I predicted. You owe me fifty bucks." Diego stated cockily.

"Oh em gee, shut up. You don't mean it?!" I questioned, surprised. I wasn't supposed to know all these but my boyfriend happened to be a busy body. We'd made a bet on the goody-two-shoes Sandy who Diego noted always acted extra shy whenever they were having staff meetings.

I didn't know how he figured this out but as earlier concluded, Diego was quite the busybody. Also, people at his workplace kind of liked him enough to be friends with him even though some of them were enemies of themselves so he usually got information about several workers from other co-workers. No wonder he was always busy. His extra time was spent gossiping about others!

"I mean it babe. You can guess who told me. It was Jane."

"Jane the office slut? Oh, sorry. We agreed she's not a slut even though she sleeps around." I frowned.

I'd never met Jane but I could describe everything about her. That was also thanks to my boyfriend who loved being such a busy body. Jane was a junior staff but she'd sucked as many lollipops as one could suck in a company full of men to earn more than twice her normal monthly salary. By lollipops, I'm sure you know shat that meant. And Jane also loved giving her preys at the office pleasure, if that meant they'd pay her handsomely in return.

"I hope she didn't try anything on you after that day you told her off?" I scowled.

"Nope. She doesn't tell secrets to the guys she's sleeping with like she does with me, don't worry. Besides, my soon-to-be brother in-law and the owner of the company, Stephano Alfonsi has his eyes on me. I know that without doubt so I won't be stupid to lose my high paying job by sleeping with her. Our friendship is worth it though, since I get to receive information about what's going on everywhere."

"Better." I huffed. "Let's stop at the mall, we need to get some things."

Diego drove towards The Bagh Mall. It was close to his place where he was staying at Bagheria, Sicily.

"Richard liked the gift you got his baby. His wife also sent her greetings." Diego told me while driving into the park.

"Awnn that's cute. Did you tell them we picked them out together?" I clapped my hands together with a beam, picking my purse afterwards as Diego parked properly.

"Of course I did. His wife wouldn't stop thanking you. She said it was thoughtful of you to think of buying those clothes. Especially the baby pink and grey beanies. Not gonna lie, they looked really good in the pictures she sent. I'll show you when we get home."

"I'm happy she loved them all." My smile brightened as we stepped out of the car. I'd ordered some clothes for Richard's baby and had them delivered to his workplace in mine and Diego's name. Since Richard was Diego's friend, I thought, why not surprise him? Also Richard and his wife were such a nice couple.

We walked into the mall and looked around. Not many people were in here but that didn't matter. We went to the food isle and I looked around for what we'd run out of at home.

"I have something to tell you." I snickered, suddenly remembering something funny.

We walked to the snack section and he pointed to a particular brand of jam among the others on the shelf. I nodded and he picked two since we both loved jams and one wouldn't be enough. I picked out some potato chips, Lay's pastazz, O!Karto, shrimp chips and a large pack of sugar, dumping them into the trolley.

"So what do-"

"Promise me you won't laugh." I added quickly, interrupting him.

"Now I'm curious." He chuckled softly.

"Well it's about Kara so you're not allowed to laugh. Should I proceed?" A smirk curled its way up my lips. I picked three burritos and dumped them into the trolley.

"Sure. I need to hear it."

"When last did you actually put your dingly dingly into anyone's wee wee?" I asked, trying so hard to stifle my laughter.

"Uh...I have an idea about what you're referring to but you need to rephrase it." He frowned in confusion and gave me his full profile.

I chuckled. "Can you even guess what a 'dingly dingly' is?"

"Honestly?" He raised a brow, "well the word sounds somewhat funny so I can't really say exactly what I'd expect it to mean. It could be something dirty. Just tell me."

"Pftt. You've always been bad at guessing. Well, our darling Kara calls dìcks 'dingly dingly'." I giggled.

Diego stopped walking and just stared at me for a good couple of seconds. Then he burst into laughter, not caring that we were in fact, in public. The sound was amazingly refreshing and I found myself laughing along.

"Wait, what kind of dìck?" Diego asked and chuckled, laughing some more.

"The normal dick. The one you guys have hanging between your legs. The same one I would like to sit on one of these days." I giggled.

"Damn." Diego's smile was immediately wiped off and replaced with an 'are you kidding me?' look. I shook my head and chuckled before holding his hand and dragging him along with me while also pulling the trolley.

"Yeah. When she was little, Natalia told baby Kara it was called 'dingly dingly' and the name just kind of stuck with Kara as she grew up."

Diego shook his head, a big smile now spreading on his gorgeous face. "She's one of the most innocent girls I've ever met. But that makes her an incredible being, doesn't it?"

I watched his Adam's apple move as he spoke. "Indeed she is. It's rare for someone to be so innocent and clueless about so many things."

We continued our search after that and then went to pay for everything we'd bought after confirming we'd covered our needs. Diego paid but unlike other days, I didn't even try to argue with him because I was busy glaring at the cashier that was literally drooling over him. The lady who we knew wasn't on duty so I just guessed that this other one was taking her shift. What a bummer, right?

I didn't usually entertain jealousy but it was really irritating to observe the shameless flirting.

I rolled my eyes.

"Wait, what dick did you say you were going to sit on earlier on?" Diego suddenly asked and a small smirk quirked at the side of my lips when the cashier gasped at his words. I knew he'd eventually ask that question, judging from the kind of person he was, since he wouldn't let it go but it was more interesting to watch the Cashier get the shock of her life.

"You know, the beautiful cock. The powerful one." I used my hand to make a 'power' motion, balling my fist and pouted my lips.

He chuckled but eyed my lips. "We better pray that's my not-so-little man you're actually talking about and mine alone because I don't take lightly to such jokes."

"What if it isn't yours? You aren't the only one with a nice, powerful dic-"

"Adriana..." He groaned and levelled me with a stare. "You're putting images in my head right now and we're at the mall. Don't try to make me jealous, because it's working, okay?"

The blushing cashier told us the amount and we paid, getting our things packaged before we left. He carried the bags on his left hand while holding my hand with his right hand.

"I still have the effect on you. I'll stop just for that reason alone." I smirked.

He pulled his hand out of my hold and slung the arm arm over my shoulder. "Yes you do, don't be so smug because I'm not always attractive when I'm jealous. But really, Kara calls dìcks 'dingly dingly?' like what the hell?" He laughed again.

"Yeah. She's...cute."

"Hmm. Our mom trained her well. I just would've never imagined there was someone who wasn't so experienced in the sexual field. Especially with a friend like you."

I squinted at the brightness of the sun and laughed, not even offended by what he'd implied. I was a good friend to Kara, thank you very much.

"You know she's only had one boyfriend before Stephano, right? And all they ever did was kiss or make out a little. Stephano's family pretty much protected her from so many things. Well, not even his family perse, but Stephano and his brother, Giuliano. Not sorry to say but Stephano is a jealous and possessive bastard. She wasn't even close to boys at all when she was in Junior high because Stephano always found a way to chase them away."

"How did you know all these?" He opened the car. We dropped the things at the back and got in the front seats.

"I figured it from the little things she told me over the time we've been friends. That's four, close to four and a half years now. She used to say Stephano hated her but we both know what it means when a man looks at you and burns his gaze through every pore on your skin."

"Wow. I don't blame my sister for being so innocent then. I bet she watches sappy movies and has never done anything sexual...." He trailed off then gagged. "I can't believe we're gossiping about my sister's sexlligence." He groaned before starting the car.

"Sexlligence?" I giggled. I never knew there was a word like that.

"Yeah, sexlligence. You know, like sexual intelligence." Diego was humming now.

"You're quite the intelligent one. That reminds me, when last did you have any form of sexual activity?"

He paused for a while, then started humming once again. "Why do you ask?"

I shrugged. "I'm just honestly curious."

"It's been several months."

We went silent after that while I just mulled over his sudden admittance. He'd not had sex in months? That was just...wow.

A part of me was delighted at this realization, the selfish part of me that didn't want Diego to be with any other lady other than myself. But didn't science say a man shouldn't stay without some fun for a long time? I remember it affected one of my older cousins once.

"Wow," I commented, trying to sound disinterested even though I felt the opposite of that. "That's...been so long."

"You know I can't just have sex with anyone... randomly. And moreover, there's this person that has been on my mind for a while. Every other lady just fades in comparison."

"Who is she?" I didn't miss a beat.

"I'm not sure you'll know her." I stared at him. His words had my heart dropping into the pit of my stomach.

"Then introduce us." I told him in a slightly shaky voice, humiliation burning through me that my boyfriend was talking about another lady this way.

"Okay. She's smart, beautiful, confident, a really good friend, she gives good blowjob-" my eyes widened as I tuned him out.

I'd never done that to him. The night we were together, it had just been sex between us. I frowned, already wondering who he could be referring to since it wasn't me.

"Who the fuck is that?" I asked in a saccharine sweet voice, unable to help myself. Who the hell was that?

Diego laughed. "Didn't you say I should introduce you? I'm getting there."

I huffed. "I changed my mind."

The tension that settled between us was so thick and suffocating.

Diego chuckled and started playing music. 'Let her go' by 'Passenger' floated through my ears. I scoffed and resisted the urge to change songs. Why this of all songs? Let her go? Really?

"And the funniest part is that I'm in too deep with this girl. Of everyone I'd had something with, I'm not sure if I can ever let her go." Diego told me over the music.

I frowned. The drive was silent after that.

When he parked, I alighted swiftly and went to carry a bag, leaving the rest for him. I dashed in like my legs were on fire and opened his door when I got to his floor.

I unpacked the things we got. I could hear shuffling at the sitting room but I paid no mind, just thinking about his words from earlier and wondering who the stupid girl was.

I could imagine her on her knees, looking up at him while he moans...no! I shook my head.

My lips trembled and I cursed myself for feeling so low and sad. Obviously he didn't care! I blinked severally and wondered if I should just go home since I didn't want to be here anymore.

Then on a second thought, maybe I should go through with this. After all, I really liked Diego and he was my boyfriend. Mine!

Why did he even remember that bitch? I bet I'd do better in bed than she ever would.

It was me he cuddled with on most nights, made out with, had deep conversations with and shared his dreams with. I bet that girl was only good for blowing men. The stupid shank!!

I left what I was doing and went out to find Diego. I was a woman on a mission. I needed to know the identity of that stupid bitch.

Diego was in the sitting room, with bags opened and he was eating chips with a cup of beer on the table.

"Are you upset with me?" He asked with hooded eyes the moment I came out of the kitchen.

I sliced him a harsh glare. "Who is that girl?"

"Oh. You're jealous."

"No I'm not just answer the-"

"You know what you look like? You look so hot and you look like mine. Oops, you're mine. Haha." He laughed as if this was funny. He dropped the cup of beer on the table.

I jumped at him and punched his thigh, feeling upset at his nonchalance.

He grabbed my waist and sat me down on his laps, before grabbing my hands where I was still punching his chest and holding them firmly behind me. I wasn't really punching him anyway but his words got to me.

"And you know another amazing thing about her? She rides me pretty good too." His eyes twinkled.

My cheeks inflamed. "You stupid fucker-"

He slammed his lips on mine, pulling me closer with a hand on my cheek while the other one held my hands firmly behind me. His lips were soft but he was dominant, taking as much as he could and stealing my breath away. I opened my mouth and gave him entrance, moaning when his tongue danced with mine. When we pulled away, I was almost breathless.

"You clueless thing. What will I do with you?" He breathed and pecked me on my forehead.

"Explain yourself!" I growled, breathing heavily. He leaned back and stared deeply into my eyes.

"Didn't you remember anything that transpired between us that night? Sex has never remained the same to me Adriana. I kept thinking about you when I had one night stands. Your face was all I saw while kissing a girl, your body was what I felt while touching a girl."

Realization dawned. He was referring to me. I was the same person that he wasn't willing to let go of. My lips formed an 'O' shape as my heartbeat skyrocketed.

"Yes, love. You ruined me for every other girl. You have to take responsibility for this because I can't be with any other girl now." He pouted. I smacked his chest though I found it cute and delightful that he wanted me to take responsibility for him. I knew in some parts of China, whenever a man was to take responsibility for a woman, it would mean tying her to him forever. Why did I make him watch Chinese movies with me?

I blushed instead, feeling bashful. "Go away. You almost ruined my day."

"Well it's worth it if I get to see you so jealous and worked up." He chuckled.

"It's not funny. Shut up. I hate you."

"You wish you'd ever feel anything but lust and love for me babe and I understand, I'm irresistible. Also, only if I'm kissing you will I shut up. Deal?" His playful tone was getting to me as I struggled to stay angry with him.

"You doofus." My emotions were all over the place. Dissipating panic, gladness and relief was what I felt, but mostly relief. "We have a deal." I finished.

He had the nerve to wink. "I'm your doofus, so that's fine. Now kiss me, silly girl."

I giggled and connected our lips once again.

I kissed my doofus.

Their love is making me have sugar rush with all the sweetness. Arghhh
