Harper's POV

It had been just over 24 hours since the article on mine and Angelo's relationship had been published and things had been eerily quiet , Jessica had yet to "ruin my whole existence" by telling everyone about my job in Opal. The response from everyone else however was extremely overwhelming , everyone who I'd become acquainted with in work had come up to me and told me how lucky I was to have Angelo and wished us all the best for our future.

Multiple magazine companies had reached out to me asking for personal interviews and photo shoots. However , there was still a few issues to deal with that didn't involve Jessica. Some of the smaller tabloid companies had taken to running stories about mine and Angelo's personal life , it involved them printing stories claiming that Angelo had gotten me pregnant and this whole relationship was a cover up and other demeaning stories like me being a gold digger. But it was all worth it now , mine and Angelo's relationship was out in the open and there was nothing anyone could do to stop us.

The whole day had gone by in a somewhat blur because tonight was the night that me and Angelo were going on our first date as a couple and the feeling that occupied my stomach was making me feel like a giddy school girl. I couldn't help but feel a tiny bit nervous , even though this was mine and Angelo's first date together it happened to be my actual first date with anyone and I had no idea how to act the only thing I had going for me was that this date was with Angelo and all I had to do was act like my normal self. Well that's what I kept telling myself anyway.

It was almost 8 pm and I was applying the finishing touches to my hair and make-up , much to my annoyance the beautiful deep purple dress that was currently wrapped around my body like a second skin was bought by Angelo. The memory of his face and the words he murmured into my ear as he placed the box in my hands this morning caused a light blush to appear on my cheeks " I can't wait to see if this dress looks better on you or my bedroom floor." The simple sentence had set me on edge for the rest of the day , causing every  nerve in my body to become hyper alert.

My phone chimed from the other end of the room , walking over to where I'd left it resting on my bed I unlocked it to see if it was Angelo. My heartbeat sped up slightly when I realized it was him , but what made me feel even more flustered were the words beneath his name.

To: Harper

From: Angelo

Outside. I hope you're feeling rested love ,

You're in for a long night.

Things had become more and more Intimate between me and Angelo over the past few weeks , the sexual tension between the two of us was evident. Every little touch whether it be accidental or on purpose was enough to set the both of us off. There had been a number of times over the past few days where things had started to get hot and heavy and we'd been clawing at each other's clothes but every time things were about to get beyond the point of no return Angelo would pull away , much to my disappointment. He told me he wanted to wait and make it special because and I quote ' I was important to him and he wanted the timing to be right.' I wanted to pull my hair out and scream at him that he could throw me over his desk in his office and have his way with me and that I was ready but I buried my frustrations. Tonight was going to be the night , me and Angelo were going to take that next step and finally sleep together.

I chuckled to myself as I made my way out to the car , I hope you're ready Angelo. The game of seduction starts now. What I'd failed to tell Angelo is that after he let me go early that I'd paid a visit to Agent Provocateur and bought myself a few little accessories to go under my dress. With the added confidence knowing I had on a gorgeous plum coloured lace bra on with matching underwear and a garter belt to help keep my stockings up I gracefully slipped into the back of the limo , let the games begin.

I edged closer to him , our legs were almost touching. Every so casually I placed my hand on his thigh and felt his whole body stiffen , leaning over ever so slightly I gently placed my lips against his cheek. "How was the rest of your day?" I asked in a breathy whisper , I made sure I was tracing small patterns on his thigh where I'd left my hand rest. I watched as his eyes drifted closed , he inhaled deeply and swallowed. I would have been in fits of laughter if the whole thing hadn't looked so damn erotic , without warning his eyes snapped open and by the looks of things my plan was already working.

His eyes were dangerously dark and practically dripping with lust , I had to fight back a shiver the way he was looking at me was enough to melt steel. His eyes roamed over my body and I could feel the heat from the blush that was most likely present on my skin. " I didn't manage to get a lot done , my mind was preoccupied by something else." His voice was low and husky. "Oh , is that so? I'm sure you'll catch up tomorrow." I replied nonchalantly , making sure my hand stayed on his thigh tracing little lines and patterns.

"Mh." Was the only reply I got from him. The sexual tension was evident I could feel it all around us almost as if a thick layer of fog had descended around the two of us.

I smiled inwardly , I never knew I was capable of having this type of an effect on a man , let alone a man as devastatingly handsome as Angelo. "So where are we going?" I asked , curios to find out where our first date would be. I took a stab in the dark and guessed that it'd be somewhere fancy , I was dolled up and Angelo looked his magnificent self in his usual attire of a designer black suit , even though I saw him dressed like this on a daily basis the view infant of me was nearly enough to make my mouth water. "It's a surprise , sit back and relax it's a bit of a drive." His voice was still husky and his eyes were following every small move I made. God I could've gotten lost in those dark stormy eyes.

Our eyes stayed locked together , neither of us daring to move as if the broken eye contact would cause everything around us to crumble. Angelo was the first to move , he shifted forward so our faces were mere inches away from each other. His minty breath was warm on my cheeks , I swallowed and noticed that my hands were slightly shaking I shoved them into my lap before Angelo noticed. His lips brushed mine , our lips barley touching but the effect I felt was as if I'd been electrocuted. The hair on the back of neck stood up and I had to suppress a small moan. I heard Angelo chuckle and I mentally scolded myself , I was meant to be seducing him not the other way around but I was currently a quivering mess.

Thankfully after that little performance , me and Angelo slipped into casual conversation. I made sure to keep a slight distance between us as my will power wasn't proving to be its strongest tonight. Angelo was right , the drive to wherever we were going was a lengthy one but something about the drive seemed familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. I tried my best to look at the scenery that was whizzing past us but the windows were tinted and it was dark outside so I gave up after 10 minutes or so.

After what seemed like hours the car turned down a small side road and I automatically knew where we were going. I glanced at Angelo from the corner of my eye , his face was void of emotion much like it had been the last time we'd visited his childhood home. I wracked my brain to figure out why he'd brought me here but I kept coming up with blanks. "W-what are we doing here?" I asked completely confused with the whole situation. We came to a stop outside the front of the house and the whole car was bathed in silence.

"Close your eyes , Harper." My eyes instantly snapped shut , if anyone else had taken me to an old house in the middle of nowhere and told me to close my eyes I'd have thought they were planning on murdering me. I heard Angelo's door open and close again , my other senses must have been hyper aware because I could hear the gravel crunching under his feet as he made his way towards my side of the car.

I was met with a cold breeze as the door next to me was opened , goosebumps appeared on my skin from the drastic change in temperature. I mentally cursed myself for not bringing a jacket. "I'm going to help you out of the car , keep your eyes shut." His voice was a low murmur and I didn't dare to disobey him , even though I was dying to find out why we were here. Getting out of the car was actually easier than I thought it was , with Angelo's help I managed to clamber out of the car keeping my dignity intact. I was now being led towards the house , I tried to pull up a mental image of the house and it's grounds from my last visit but it didn't take long for Angelo to come to a halt. I heard him take a few deep breaths , as if he needed to collect himself. "You can open your eyes now."

The sight that I was met with I couldn't have prepared myself for , no amount of mental preparation would have been enough to not react to the scenery in front of me. The garden had been transformed into what I could only describe as a little slice of heaven. There were colorful paper lanterns scattered throughout the garden , hung from any branch or adequate surface that could be found , fairy lights illuminated the blossom tree causing the water around it to take on an ethereal glow. The back doors to the house were open and from inside the house I could see a faint glow as if hundreds of candles had illuminated the inside of the old house.

I was speechless , I wanted to dive on him and pepper him with kisses but my body was in total shock. I turned to face him slowly as I gained some composure , "I-I don't know what to say." Thankfully I'd regained the ability to speak after the shock of the beautiful display in front of me.

"Do you like it?" Angelo asked

"Jesus Angelo , of Corse I like It. I more than like it , it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." I walked over to him , my legs felt like jelly but I managed to cover the small distance between us without falling over. I wrapped my arms around him and buried my head in his chest , " I love it , it's perfect." I murmured into his chest , his arms wrapped around my waist and we stood there for a moment appreciating each other's company.

"When did you have time to do all this?" I asked curiously , from what understood was that he'd been at work all day.

"After you left this afternoon I left a short while after to make the trip up here and get everything set up for you." My heart clenched at his words , no one had ever done something as thoughtful as this for me , I couldn't help but smile at the scene in front of me. " come with me , I've got more to show you."

Another wave of shock rolled over my body as myself and Angelo made our way in to the house.

"Holy shit." My voice came out louder than I intended it to but I now knew where the slight glow was coming from. We had walked into a dining area that was probably the same size as the whole first floor of my house , the whole room was mesmerizing. It was made up of old stone and dark polished wood , giving it a rustic feel to it , the walls were decorated with dozens of intricate pieces of art work and at the end of the room was a roaring fireplace , it truly was a sight to behold. The middle of the room was filled with a large solid oak dining table , the table had two large candle sticks on top of it and as I walked closer I saw that hundreds of delicate rose petals had been scattered across the polished surface.

A pair of arms wrapped around my waste and I sunk into the embrace instantly. " I thought I'd cook for you tonight." His voice had taken on that low and husky tone again causing my whole body to feel like jelly. "Sit , the first course won't take long." I did as I was told but I secretly wished that I could have a full tour of this beautiful building , sitting down in my chair I let my mind drift.

I was still confused as to why Angelo had brought us here , pushing the confusing thought to the back of my mind I thought about what it would've been like to grow up in a house like this , letting my imagination drift I could picture a beautiful blue eyed boy running through the halls as a content smile took its place on my lips , in this very moment , my life was sheer perfection.
