Zuri's POV

I woke up late in the morning, on a bed. I remember falling asleep in the hands of Luigi inside his jet after he made me laugh till my ribs hurt at the jokes, embarrassing moments and gossip he told me. He would have been a multi billionaire should he have switched to writing gossip. He knew so much about almost every celeb in town and what they're hiding behind all their glory.

I scrambled out of bed, yawning and went to the suitcase Fia sent me, taking out tooth brush and paste and went into the bathroom. After brushing, I took my bath with the shampoo and sponge available, drying my body with the towel in the suitcase.

Eww. I pulled out a transparent lingerie and made a disgusted face and threw it away, followed by another transparent item, a lacy pant with a matching crop top. I pulled out another skimpy dress and threw it away, in the end, there was a huge pile of sexy, erotic and revealing clothes that have no use to me because I don't wear those. Why did I agree to Fia's crazy idea.

I decided to go to Gianni wearing this robe I found in the bathroom, it wasn't good either but at least it didn't reveal much flesh than the huge pile I have in my room.

Opening the door to the only room I saw,I found it empty. The bed was neatly made with no sign of a soul around. I left, calling his name as I made my way downstairs to check for him there.

He wasn't anywhere in sight. I only found a note on the fridge telling the cooker who's going to come, to prepare a dish for a single person.

Where can Lui go leaving me alone in a penthouse I'm not familiar to? I took the stairs again, going up to my room for my phone and make a call to him.

He was already calling as I fished out my phone from my bag, "how's the most beautiful girl doing?"

"She's doing fine, only a bit sad because she can't find her big bear." He's warm and always cuddly like a teddy bear.

"I'm sorry babe, I had this urgent business call this morning from the people we're here for. You were enjoying your sleep so I didn't bother waking you up to ruin it."

"Glad you did that, so when are you coming back?"

"In an hour or two, they're making no sense as I speak. All I want is come home to you and bury my face in your neck, cuddling with you Bella." Why does his words always have to make me excited in a really really bad way?

"Finish and come home real quick, I miss you already."

"I'll be there in less than ten minutes, I'm going to ditch the rest of the meeting."

"Nah Lui, sit till it's over. We're here for business so let's do just that."

"Alright Miss, I'll see you when I'm done. I love you and be sexy for daddy before I get there okay?"

"I'll think about it, bye puppy." I know he's rolling his eyes right now at the nickname I've given him. He's always complaining he isn't a doggy but a full bloodied man. I don't share that view, he's my puppy no matter what he says.
