Betrothed To The Mafia Lord

Chapter 343

James’ pov

I hated to admit it to myself that after I had dropped Blair off at her apartment after she had gotten

discharged from the hospital, I had been unable to get her out of my head, which I wasn’t happy about.

When I had informed Luca and Luca that I was going to be unable to make it to Travis’ apartment

because I already had plans, of course they had both automatically assumed I did that because of

some random chick which I wanted to fuck. And of course I had let them believe hat on purpose,

because there was no way in hell that I’d be telling them the actual truth which was that I wasn’t going

to a club that night, but was going to go pick up Blair from her apartment and take her out to dinner, like

we had both agree on the day I had dropped her off at her apartment.

There was just no way I could tell them that, because I wasn’t sure I understood why I was actually

doing all these yet. It was most definitely not because of the money of my ruined suit and the money I

had spent in paying her hospital bills… so, what was it then?

I shook my head a little to get the thoughts out of my head, because it was starting to make my head

hurt.

I was currently driving towards her apartment, and I couldn’t even ignore the slight excited feeling in my

chest even if I had wanted to. A part of me had kept constantly thinking about her and if she had been

okay after I had dropped her off, and if she really didn’t have anyone to call like she had claimed bsck

st the hospital.

There was no denying it, I was worried about her. Perhaps that was why I was feeling this drawn to her,

because never have I ever felt this drawn to someone before.

Maybe after I see her tonight and confirm that she was perfectly fine, I was going to inform her at the

end of the dinner that I hadn’t planned on taking any money from her, and then I’d bid her a nice life

and be on my own way.

That was it. I said to myself as I slowly got closer to her apartment. The poor structure of the

environment and her apartment made me wrinkle my nose a little as I got down from my car. I hated

how poor and unhealthy this place looked, and if she wasn’t so bitchy and feisty, I’d have offered her a

place to stay without collecting a dime for her, just to ensure that she was living in a safe and sound

environment.

I climbed the stairs of her apartment, because they unfortunately do not have an elevator, which I really

think is absurd.

When I knocked on her door, I had thought she was going to keep me waiting on purpose, and a part of

me had even wondered if she wasn’t going to show up – but the door had been pulled open almost

immediately and she was stepping out to close the door behind her, before I could even get a glimpse

of the interior of her apartment.

I looked her up and down and wrinkled my nose as I took in her appearance, of course she had to

make it obvious that she didn’t want to doing this right now, all the way to her outfit. A pair of huge

pants hugged her hips and a hoodie I’d call ugly balanced the whole outfit, her hair was also in a a face

cap.

“Why are you dressed like this?” I asked as I folded my hand and didn’t bother to hide my

disappointment.

She only rolled my beautiful green eyes at me as she began to speak. “What? Did you think I was

going to get all dressed up for you? If you’ve forgotten, I’d gladly remind you that I do not want to do

this in the first place.”

Her voice sounded so melodic to my ears and for a moment, I imagined how she was going to sound

moaning my name. Of course as soon as that thought had appeared, I was quick to shut it down.

“Whatever, but you could have at least tried a little.” I responded with an eye roll of mine.

“You’re one to talk, of course you’re dressed in a suit.” She mumbled as she eyed me up

unimpressively.

“Of course I’m in a suit, it’s a dinner date for heaven’s sake.” I responded calmly, not letting her jab get

to mr.

“Hold up, it’s not a date, I urge you to not forget that.” She reminded me with folded hands and a glare

plastered over her face.

“I only said it was a date because that’s the general name it’s called, and not because it’s a date-date.”

I pointed out and then I let out a small scoff. “What, you thought I was referring to this as a date- like an

actual date?”

She only glared at me before walking past me, heading down the stairs.

“Whatever, let’s just get this over with,” She muttered under her breath and I suppressed a grin as I fell

into steps behind her.

“Did you seriously have to wear this ugly ass hoodie?” I demanded as I made to start up the car, and

she glanced at me to sneer at me.

“What? You’re being judgemental right now?”

I rolled my eyes. “It’s not that, i was literally speaking the truth, the hoodie really is ugly.”

“And you’re uglier, let’s not even talk about your taste in suits, that’s way worse.” She snapped back

and I let out a laugh as soon as her words sank in, I’ve got to give it to her this time, she does haveThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

good comebacks.

“Oh c’mon, we both know you’re lying though your teeth right now.” I mused as I turned the key and

started the car.
