Chapter 8: Walk Of Shame.

Katherine's POV

 I have always loved reading romantic novels, they were like my guilty pleasure, the grand gestures of the male lead, the great sex, the crazy one night stands that almost always lead to a beautiful relationship and the legendary "walk of shame" the female lead had to do after an amazing sex with a stranger that left her legs shaky the next day. I never really understood the plight of the female lead until a few moments ago when I had to take that same walk , the walk that Jane always spoke about after her crazy one night stands.

 "I didn't have sex with him and he wasn't even there when I left , maybe that wasn't a walk of shame" I thought trying to make myself feel better but that voice at the back of my head had to speak "but you almost did have sex with him" it mocked. Thinking back on how Jane described it, it perfectly matched the way I felt during my escape earlier only that mine would have being considered "a run of shame" I thought and sighed heavily. 

 All through the ride back home I was lost in my thoughts, I brought the window down feeling a bit stuffy , maybe a little air will some how take away my shameful thoughts but unfortunately it didn't, as I felt the cool breeze of the always bustling city hit my face, memories of last night suddenly started flooding in and it left my mind in more chaos. 

 "Miss" the voice of the taxi driver brought me back from my thought , I looked at him with a bit of confusion "We have arrived your destination" he told, I looked out and noticed he was right. "I am so sorry, I was lost in my thoughts" I said a bit embarrassed before reaching to my purse to get his fee. "o that's fine, it happens to the best of us" he said with a smile as I handed him the fee and thanked him before alighting the taxi.

 ***************

 "oh my goodness, you asked him to do what?" Jane asked interrupting my story for the third or even fifth time and looking at me like I just grew three heads, " for the last time Jane, I was drunk, I would never have done that if I was sane and please let me finish this story" I said and she made a hand gesture of zipping her mouth and I smiled before taking it up from where I stopped.

 "Then I ran off quickly , it was so embarrassing, anyone who saw me would have thought I was being chased by someone or something" I finished off and Jane hugged me" I am so sorry I made you go through that, I should have paid more attention to you "she apologized amidst tears. "It wasn't your fault, I was just a too careless and should have paid mind to how much I drank so stop taking the blame" I explained.

 "Stop being too nice, I took you there and was supposed to be responsible for your safety , I promise it wont happen again" she said and tightened the hug " you have already apologized enough plus on the bright side I wasn't in anyway harmed. "I said so we could stop the blame game, knowing Jane we would keep on arguing bout who was to be blamed if I didn't accept her apology.

 "How coincidental that you were saved by that same fine specimen from the other night, you really are lucky if I didn't know better I would have said he was a stalker" Jane said teased and I laughed "how can you conclude that is good looking when you haven't even met him yet?" I asked and she looked at me like I was crazy.

 "But I have heard his voice and from his voice ,girllll I know that man be fine as hell plus you never said he wasn't" she pointed out and I laughed she was right that man was created to unleash chaos on earth, his body is a master piece created to meet sexual fantasies and that voice is one of the two voices capable of giving you an orgasm just by listening to it , the second being AGUST D's growl during his performance in the D-DAY tour. 

 "Hey earth to Katy, where is your mind at? being calling you for a while now, what are you thinking bout with that smile on your face?" I heard the snap of Jane's fingers which brought me out of my thoughts, "Oh sorry bout that, I wasn't thinking bout going.. yeah having my bath" I tried to think of an excuse with my cheeks a bit flushed but of course Jane wasn't buying it . "Yeah I love taking a bath so much that the mere thought of it make me blush" Jane sarcastically said with her signature eyeroll and I laughed. 

 "I wasn't thinking of anyone" I blurted out since I couldn't take her questioning gaze anymore, "I didn't say you were thinking of a per...wait.... Katy are you thinking about MR. Sexy?" she asked with a teasing smile, "noo why will I do that, I told you I was thinking bout going to have my bath plus his name is Adriano not Mr. Sexy" I tried to maintain my lie and she laughed "I saw you smile and your cheek reddened , but if you say you weren't I believe you" Jane said with a smile and I knew from her smile that she didn't buy that excuse I smiled a bit embarrassed at the risk of my dirty thoughts being out there but glad she didn't dwell on it anymore.

 "Thinking bout it now I never thought my innocent Katherine could be so brave and horny while drunk and to think she would even took the walk of shame" Jane teased "Blame the Alcohol Jenny, I need to catch up on some sleep" I said and headed for my room as a means to escape Jane's teasing, as I walked to my room I could hear Jane laugh and say something along the line of "horny Katy is trying to avoid my questions" and I laughed.

 As I laid in bed to take my much deserved rest my mind went back to Adrian and of course last night, he had saved me twice but I misunderstood his and blamed him for last night but he was still a gentleman, despite the fact that he seems nice I could smell danger around him, obviously he was dangerous , he made me horny with just his voice and those eyes. You cant even blame me I am pretty sure that with just his gaze most women will get horny , His looks screams "Panties dropper" I will gladly let him take my first time, "what are you thinking Katy" I screamed in my head, I shook my head to clear those thoughts and started counting sheep in other to fall asleep and in no time I succumbed to sleep.

 Adriano's P.O.V.

 Mondays were those days I have heard a lot of people complain about, I guess its because it signifies the end of a weekend and the beginning of a new week which brings about stress either from school or work, for someone who works everyday I couldn't relate. Mondays weren't my worst days of the week unlike most people, there were like every normal day but if I were to pick a day that of the week that made my mood sour I would pick Saturdays .

 It was a Saturday afternoon and I was stuck in a silly meeting with the president a few government officials and this is all thanks to my dad, since friend and consigliere of his became president two years ago I have being stuck with holding these kinds of meeting to help him strategize, build the economy and persuade me to make some investments.

 Why do I hate this? because they are all old men, nobody likes to spend their day in the midst of old men, listening to their boring dad jokes and their women problems especially when I could be taking my much deserved rest or even having a good fuck and for goodness sake why become president if you have no plan for the country now I have to pay for your incompetence with Saturdays. 

 You might wonder why I am entertaining these since I absolutely hate it but don't get me wrong, I am not doing this because I am a patriot or something neither do I do it for the money they pay, yes I am being paid heavily for these services but I do it for myself ,it would be nice to have the government's little help when I have to export some fire ammunitions that may or may not be illegal and who else would be so helpful than President Collins an ex consigliere of our mafia clan who was know as Emiliano.

 "That will be all for today, thank you so much for your time Mr. Adriano" Fredrick who was the president's secretary said as we all stood up and I nodded my head to acknowledge him, "stai al sicro, figliolo" (stay safe boy) President Collins said as he gave me a pat on my shoulder something he always did whenever we met. "Lo faro , Grazie" (I will, thank you) I replied with a nod.

 Emiliano was like a dad to me , he had thought me how to shoot a gun at age ten, when he noticed I had great aim he took it upon himself to train me till I surpassed him, he had taught me the ways of the world at an early age which I am still thankful for, another reason I agreed to do this for him. As someone who understands how dangerous the underworld is, he always makes it a duty to ask me to stay safe whenever we meet.

 "When can I schedule an interview for a new secretary?" Romano asked as we walked back into my office from the conference room, I could sense the tiredness in his voice and I could understand why.

 Romano is my Consigliere and for the past few days he had to fill in as my secretary because the last one was fired, which meant more work load for him, "Tired of being civil already?" I teased him as I took my seat and he smiled "Tuesday morning will be fine, I need you to pay a visit to the Colombo's by noon on that same day so you would take care of the first selection and I will handle the final interview." I explained "okay boss, least I forget, Mr. Felix Brown is downstairs together with his son they have refused to leave until they meet with you, what should I do with them?" he asked.

 I should have expected that old man to show up with his disgusting son "I am in no mood to deal with them now , if its important tell him to fix an appointment" I said nonchalantly . "Do you need me to get you anything boss?" Romano asked sensing my tiredness, "a cup of coffee will be much needed" I told him "right on it boss" he said and left.

 A few minutes later Romano returned with my coffee, "Grazie Romano (thank you), I need you to do a background check on the woman I met yesterday at The Establishment, I need it as soon as possible" everything about her fascinates me, the fact that she doesn't know who I am fascinates me more, I wonder if she is pretending not to know me or she really doesn't know who I am and if the latter is the case, she must really be a strange woman. 

 "yes boss" he replied and left, I tried to get back to my work but the thoughts of that woman kept distracting me, my mind went back to last night and her naked body came into view, fanculo (f**k) she was sexy without even trying. The belly chain she had adored her perfect curves and her boobs weren't too big, they were the perfect size for my hands and those inviting nipples, "O Katherine, what have you done to me" I said to myself when I noticed I my little brother trying to break free.

 It was obvious that not getting fucked in a while was telling on me so I put a call through to my friend Julius "its being a hard week" I said and he laughed "I will get someone to take off your stress" he replied understanding what I needed "Do not send Tina though, she is starting to get attached" I told him and he laughed, he knew I hated it when women get attached, they begin to expect a relationship which was tiring and obviously not my cup of tea "women never listen, send the address and time I will send her to you." he said and I hanged up.
