Chapter 16 - Déjà vu
Lisa's POV
I pushed him away. This time he stepped back, but his smirk hadn't disappeared from his face.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I yelled at him, angrily.
He thought that he could come and touch me, and ignore me whenever he wanted? He was wrong!
"You didn't even call me. Now you're here and..." I breathed in deeply.
He looked at me with tenderness in his eyes. He walked closer to me and held my cheeks in his hands.
"I missed you, too," he said. "If I had called you, I would have come back in an instant at the sound of your voice just to be with you."
He paused for a while as he thought, but then continued. "I thought the right thing for us was to stay away, but I can't anymore. When I saw you with Stefano, I got jealous. I wanted to grab your hand and drag you out of here with me and tell the world that you are mine, only mine."
What? I hadn't expected these words to come from him. I was happy and very emotional. My eyes suddenly filled with tears.
"Hey, don't cry," he said, softly. I couldn't hold myself back and started crying.
He pulled me into his chest and wrapped his arms around me, tightly. I buried my head in the hollow of his neck as I sobbed. He stroked my hair gently.
Why was I so emotional?
I told him that I needed to wash my face. As I was about to open the door, he grabbed my wrist and turned me around.
"Don't get engaged to him," he told me, seriously.
I looked at him. He was serious. He moved closer to me as he held my wrist and gave me a soft kiss on my lips.
After he walked out, leaving me in the room in shock. His words were repeating in my mind over and over.
What did that mean? Was it because he was jealous or he wanted to be with me?
I adjusted my dress and went to the bathroom. I washed my face. A few minutes later, I went back.
"Are you alright?" Stefano asked, concerned.
"Yes, sorry. I saw my friend, Stefano. I wanted to say..."
Suddenly, his phone rang. "Excuse me." He picked up his phone. His expression changed. "Are you sure? Ok. Bye." He hung up.
"Something wrong?" I asked.
"Not really, but it's about work. I need to go urgently."
"Ok."
He looked at Zack. "Wait a minute. I need to tell Zack something."
"Sure."
He went towards him. They talked about something. Zack's expression changed as well.
What was going on?
Zack looked at me. Then he nodded at Stefano. Stefano came back.
"Let's go."
"What is going on?" I asked, worriedly.
"Nothing," he said. "Don't worry about it."
But I was sure it wasn't about work. Maybe it had to do something with the arson?
We walked out of the restaurant and got in his car. He drove so fast that in minutes he had parked his car in front of my house.
"Goodbye."
"Bye," I said and got out of the car. He waited for me to enter my house and then drove off.
Zack's POV
After the meeting, I went to the nightclub. As I waited for Adrian, I sipped my drink, thinking about Lisa.
Seeing her with Stefano alone, made me extremely furious. I got very jealous.
"Hey, bro," Adrian said as he tapped my shoulder.
"Hi." He sat down next to me. He ordered a drink.
"What happened now?" he asked me, sipping his drink.
"I told Lisa not to get engaged to Stefano."
"What?" he yelled.
"She is something else. She makes me happy. I could not stand away from her. I am pulling towards her like a magnet. Everything reminds me about her. When I close my eyes, her eyes appear in front of me. I can not get her out of my mind," I told him honestly.
"Dude, you are in deep shit," he said, grinning.
"Thank you, you helped me," I said, smirking.
He laughed. "What are you planning now?"
"I don't know. For the first time in my life, I honestly don't know." I don't know what to do, but the only thing I know is that I'm not letting her go.
Lisa's POV
Last night, I had fallen asleep thinking about what had happened at the restaurant. I couldn't shake the way Zack had told me not to get engaged to Stefano.
I opened my eyes as I yawned. The past couple of days have been very tiring. I wanted to sleep as much as possible.
I got up and went to the bathroom to take a warm shower.
After taking a shower, I put on a pair of black jeans and a baby blue blouse.
Just as I had finished putting on my blouse, my phone rang. It was Marina. She was inviting me to Athens, but I didn't accept her offer. After all the things that happened with Zack, I couldn't. But she insisted. She said that her mother invited me as well. Stefano's parents would be there too. They also wanted me to come.
After, she gave the phone to her mother. She talked to me and told me that they wanted to see me. Marina's parent's wedding anniversary would be in a few days, and they wanted me to attend.
She insisted for me to go even though I had rejected her offer multiple times. I had no other choice but to accept. She told me I would go with Stefano and Zack in their private jet.
A few hours later, Zack called me. I picked up the phone.
"I will pick you up at eleven in the morning tomorrow," he said, smirking.
The arrogant bastard! Of course, he was satisfied with the situation.
"I don't know. Maybe Stefano will pick me up," I said. I wanted to tease him. He breathed deeply without saying anything.
"He will not, gynaika mou. He called and asked me if I could pick you up tomorrow," he said, smirking.
I rolled my eyes, and said, "Ok." Then, I hung up and started packing.
When I woke up in the morning, I got a call from Zack. He told me that he had arrived. I grabbed my suitcases and went downstairs.
When I went out, I saw Zack leaning against his car.
When he looked up and saw me, he smiled. "You look beautiful, gynaika mou."
"Thank you."
He grabbed my suitcases and put them in the trunk. We got in the car.
Stefano was already inside the jet when we arrived at the airport. I sat next to Stefano while Zack sat in the seat opposite of me. Stefano was working on his laptop.
When I looked at Zack, he was staring at me. He winked at me. I took my eyes off him, but I still felt his gaze on me.
I suddenly felt tired. I got up and went to the cabin to lay down on the bed.
When I opened my eyes, Zack was laying beside me as he stroked my hair.
Was I dreaming?
He smiled at me, and said, "Did you sleep well?"
It wasn't a dream.
He was laying beside me. Then, I thought about Stefano. He is here too.
Oh no!
I sat up quickly.
He leaned on his elbow, smirking.
"What are you doing here? What if Stefano sees us?" I asked him.
He rolled his eyes. "Gynaika mou, don't you get tired of asking me the same question?" he teased me, smirking.
The arrogant bastard!
"Don't you get tired of doing the same thing?" I asked.
He smiled broadly. He held my wrists and pulled me back down onto the bed.
"Hey!" I tried to get up, but he did not let me.
"I missed you so much," he said with a seductive voice.
