Tales Of Love

Aurora called her mother and told her not to wait for her. she was going to be with Santiago for the night. They went to a newly opened restaurant to have dinner before going home.

This restaurant was typical of Eli Steven’s restaurant. Eli Steven was a famous chef recognized in the whole of Florence City and abroad. No wonder his restaurants were most reckoned with among the wealthy people of the City.

The waiters and waitresses have a custom made uniform and tag which makes them unique among their counterparts in other restaurants.

Eli Steven has become an old man now who hardly accepts contracts and when he does, it costs millions of dollars to hire him.

The owner of this restaurant was an apprentice of Eli Steven and his restaurant bears a lot of similarities to Eli Steven’s.

As they entered and took a seat. A waiter walked toward them to take their orders. Santiago ordered fried rice and Aurora preferred Noodles. The waiter soon returned with two plates of food.

As soon as Aurora saw the food, inhaled the aroma and the vapor emanating from it, she salivates. Santiago threw a glance and saw her eyes bright, he smiled silently, he knew how much she likes Noodles.

Picking her fork and knife, Aurora gulped down her food. Santiago watched her finish quietly and gently push his plate of food to her.

She looked up at him and realised perhaps she had finished her food too soon. She shook her head to Santiago to indicate she’s full but he would not listen, rather, he took his fork and shoved food into her mouth.

After two mouthfuls, she decides to feed him too. He obediently opened his mouth and accepted the food. She continued until the plate was almost empty, then she stopped.

Santiago had the habit of not emptying his plates when he eats. He ascribed it to poverty and Aurora had long known of this habit of his. They talked and went home.

When they got to Santiago’s Villa, the light in the sitting room was on which puzzled Aurora. No one had access into the house except she and Santiago. Why is the light on then? Before she could ask Santiago any question, he gave an answer to her thoughts “She’s probably watching a movie or something”.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

She? Who was Santiago referring to? Who’s She in the villa?. Without giving her a chance to ask him any further questions, he lifted her off the ground and placed her on his shoulder as he turned the door knob.

As Santiago turned the knob and entered, Eve Diego stood up to meet him but froze when she saw that Santiago was carrying a lady.

Without as much as a glance, Santiago Strode passed her and went up the stairs. Aurora saw the tear filled eyes of Eve Diego and chuckled. Santiago didn’t put her down until he got to the master bedroom.

“So she’s the ‘she’ you were referring to? ” Aurora asked as soon as her feet touched the floor. “Mm… mm” Santiago grunted as he tried to remove his tie.

Aurora went over and helped him with his ties and unbuttoned his shirt. He went in to take a shower and when he came out, his hair was wet as drops of water fell to his shoulder.

Around his waist was a white towel, which allowed for full glaring of his long hairy straight legs. He was wiping his hair to dry as he stared at Aurora who was momentarily lost in her thoughts.

“Not going for a shower?” Santiago asked . Whose question literally brought Aurora back to her senses. She felt shy of her Shamelessness and blushed.

As she tried to pass by him, he held her and hugged her tightly that made Aurora Logan suffocate. He freed her and cupped her face with his palm “tell me, what you admired the most. My body or me?”.

Aurora blushed the more, she shouldn’t have stared at him so long. Now he’s flirting with her. But what difference does it make, whether his body or himself, it’s all the same to her.

She wanted to dodge and run off but he was still cupping her face and staring at her obviously waiting for an answer. “the both” Aurora answered and pushed him off, and ran into the bathroom with a giggle.

Santiago chuckled and put on a robe before going out. When Aurora came out , she didn’t find him. She dried her hair and took a robe from the wardrobe . Climbing into the bed, she covered herself with guilt.

Santiago came back with two glasses of milk and handed one over to her, she sat up quickly and drank the milk.

Santiago lay beside Aurora and held her to sleep. He put off the bedside lamb and waited a long time until he assumed she was asleep. He stood up quietly, opened the door and went to his study.

Aurora opened her eyes with a grin, he must have thought she was asleep already. For her to have met a man like Santiago, it was a fortune accumulated for ten thousand generations.

Aurora tossed on the bed as she remembered the past, how she had met Santiago.

“Speak!” Santiago had ordered, staring at her with that cold heffy height which emanates a cold chilling aura.

Shivering, “I am sorry sir but your drink has been drugged. I didn’t want to do it but I was forced at gunpoint when I refused the initial offer of money” Aurora had said hastily.

” Who ordered you to do it?”. Santiago asked and stared at her irritatingly.

“I don’t know who he is, he was putting on a mask” Aurora said tearfully”.

“Why are you telling me this?” Santiago asked with a hoarse voice.

“I don’t want you to be hurt. I had to find a way to warn you” Aurora explained hurriedly.

“Mmm… mm I see,” Santiago mused. His next words froze her as tears ran down her cheeks:
