CHAPTER 4 Ā°Ā°Ā°

AUTHOR’S POV

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Fernanda shouted as she pushed Jeromino away and he wiped hisl-ips with his palm like a real per-vert.

“What does it look like I’m doing, of course I’m convincing you otherwise. Yourl-ips are soft and sweet” Jeromino said flir-tatiously and Fernanda scoffed.

“Too bad, you met the wrong person. You shouldn’t f0rƧĀ£ yourself on people that’s called S-xual haras-sment. Excuse me” Fernanda said seriously then walked out of the restaurant but Jeromino ran after her.

“You can’t decline my request. Don’t make me f0rƧĀ£ you to do it” Jeromino forewarned.

“You’re a public figure so put your act together and stĀ©p behaving like a psychopath. What a nuisance!” Fernanda cursed then entered her grandma’s car.

Fernanda got back home and lunch was served alre-ady. Everyone was seated at the dinning table.

“I’m back” Fernanda announced as she dropped the car keys on the shelf.

“Fernanda let’s have lunch” Florencia informed and she walked to the dinning table.

“Daddy why are you still here? I thought you went back to the office” Fernanda inquired as she took her seat.

“Mum said I should have my lunch before leaving. It would have been perfect if your brothers were here as well” Bruno exclaimed and Fernanda smiled.

“Come on Dad, you know they would have been here if they aren’t so occu-pied with so much work at the office and that’s why I love my job” Fernanda smiled as she di-pped her fork into the plate filled with burritos.

“Fernanda I think your job is the most hectic one here but you happen to always be at home. Don’t you want to grow your career?” Benicio asked and everyone stared at him.

“It’s obvious she’s using the advantage that her dad is the vice president. Uncle Bruno don’t let Fernanda get her way else she will be lacking behind in her career” Damian suggested and Fernanda rolled her eyes.

“You’re right Damian. Now that we’re on the tĀ©pic, Fernanda dear you have to accept Mr Enzo’s offer so your name will be heard around the world. You should use Jeromino as a stepping stone and he’s re-ady to be used as a stepping stone. I heard Jeromino telling the CEO he wants you to shoot for the couple outfits with you. He’s going to cancel the contract with our company if you don’t agree” Bruno explained worriedly.

“Wow that kinda sounds like an amazing offer. Fernanda don’t lose such an opportunity” Florencia cut in.

That darn Jeromino… He even threatened the CEO but why’s he so obsessed with me when I have no idea who he is. Is this really a great opportunity or a tra-p. Fernanda thought chewing her food gently.

“Come on Fernanda, what do you say? Mum help me here” Bruno said slowly as he stared at Abuela.

“Fernanda dear, you really don’t nee-d to do much and the shoot wouldn’t take the whole week if that’s what you’re worried about. Go ahead and do it dear. Let’s save your dad’s face at the company” Abuela advised and Fernanda sighed tiredly.

“Dad can you give me some time to think about it because putting on feminine clothes kinda feels so uncomfortable. I nee-d to think it throu-gh” Fernanda said slowly and Bruno smiled.

“That’s a good start as long as you will think about it” Bruno smiled as he continued eating and Abuela cleared her throat grasping everyone’s attention.

“Mum do you nee-d some water?” Benicio asked concerned.

“I’m fine. Fernanda do you have any bĀ©yfriĀ£ndyet?” Abuela asked and an awkward silence swept the dinning table.

“What are you saying Mum? Fernanda is still too young to have a bĀ©yfriĀ£nd” Bruno rebuked.

“Daddy what do you mean? Of course I’m old enough to have a bĀ©yfriĀ£nd. I’ve graduated from college alre-ady” Fernanda reminded.

“Still that doesn’t mean you’re old enough to have a bĀ©yfriĀ£nd” Bruno protested.

“Bruno why are you sounding so old fashioned when kids of eight, ten years alre-ady have bĀ©yfriĀ£nds” Benicio laughed.

“Benicio everyone’s different and I’m against it. Fernanda isn’t allowed to have a bĀ©yfriĀ£ndtill she turns 25” Bruno announced seriously and argument broke out at the dinning table but Abuela hit the table, getting everyone’s attention.

“Bruno I’m against your rule”Abuela protested with a frown.

“Mum, Fernanda is my daughter so I decide what happens in her life” Bruno said seriously.

“That will only happen if you can cancel the blind d@tĀ£ I set for her tomorrow” Abuela blurted.

“Blind d@tĀ£?” Everyone chorused in shock.

“Mum why would you set a blind d@tĀ£ for my daughter without letting me know first” Bruno whined.

“She’s my granddaughter. I also have the right to make decisions in her life so what do you think about the blind d@tĀ£ Fernanda?” Abuela asked smiling.

I always end up getting tied up in the middle of every argument in this family of mine.

“Fernanda choose wisely, if you decline Abuela’s offer uncle Bruno would never allow you have a bĀ©yfriĀ£nd” Damian cut in with a silly smile and Bruno glared at him.

“StĀ©p confusing her, let her decide on her own” Bruno shouted with a frown and Fernanda drank a glas-s cu-p of water as she hesitated.

It’s just a blind d@tĀ£, if it doesn’t work out well. I can just leave. Fernanda g@sped in her head as she swallowed ha-rd before answering.

“Dad it’s just a blind d@tĀ£, it’s not a big deal” Fernanda said slowly and Bruno stood up.

“I’m off to work, see you when I get back” Bruno said coldly then the dinning table.

“Benicio your brother can be quite childish sometimes” Florencia tea-sed as Bruno left the house.

“It’s only natural that he’s strict about his only daughter having a bĀ©yfriĀ£nd. Fernanda is our only princess and that’s why we’re quite protective sometimes” Benicio smiled.

Daddy looked a bit disappointed, I hope I didn’t make the wrong decision. Fernanda muttered in her head staring at the door.

“Fernanda dear don’t worry about Bruno, he will be fine after taking some cu-p of coffee. About your blind d@tĀ£, it’s 4pm tomorrow. I will text you the address” Abuela said smiling wi-dely.

“Okay Abuela”

“But mother how did you come up with a blind d@tĀ£ for Fernanda?” Benicio asked curiously.

“I got a notification on my blind d@tĀ£ app and that’s how I set a d@tĀ£ for Fernanda” Abuela said smiling.

“Mum you have a blind d@tĀ£ app?” Florencia asked in surprise.

“Of course, I have so many grandchildren and it may be ha-rd for them getting a d@tĀ£ because of their busy schedule and that’s why I downloaded the app” Abuela explained.

“Wow so thoughtful of you Abuela but too bad I have a girlfriend alre-ady” Damian announced with a silly smile.

“I didn’t intend on looking for a d@tĀ£ for you to begin with” Abuela g@sped and everyone laughed.

NEXT DAY

FERNANDA

I woke up and I heard such a loud noise at the sitting room.

“It’s so early, what are they arguing about” I said sluggishly as I got out of my be-d, stretching my arms tiredly.

“Abuela, Fernanda have never d@tĀ£d anyone before so why should we begin her d@t!nghistory with a blind d@tĀ£” Fred argued and I smiled as I saw Fernand sitting at the other side watching TV.

Even uncle Luciano is home today. Franco is here as well.

Franco is my second cousin, he’s Damian’s junior brother.

“Wow, everyone’s home today” I shouted excitedly as I ran to give Fernand a hvg.

“Baby sis, how’re you doing?” He tea-sed ru-bbing my cheeks just then the door cracked open and uncle Alejandro with his family walked in.

“Bro let’s talk later” I said swiftly then ran back into my room.

Why do they have to come so early?

“Bruno I can’t find Fernanda around. On our way here I thought of something very important. Fernanda is of age now so when do you plan on marrying her off” Uncle Alejandro said slowly and an hvge argument broke out between the brothers in the sitting room.

“This isn’t ending anytime soon” I mumbled then on my be-d.

Hours later…

I opened my eyes slowly and it landed on my wall clock.

“Oh my gosh, how did I end up dozing off for so long. It’s almost time for the blind d@tĀ£” I g@sped out in shock then ran into my bathroom.

Freshened up quic-kly, put on some nice jeans and t-shi-t then I head out to the sitting room.

“Fernanda are you not hungry? You haven’t had your breakfast and lunch yet?” Abuela reminded and I smiled.

“Don’t worry Abuela, I will gr-ab something outside. Hi uncle Alejandro” I greeted as I sneaked the car keys into my purse then I ran out of the house.

“They’re probably talking about how rude I am” I uttered out laughing then I drove off to the fancy restaurant.

I got seated at a table as I waited for my d@tĀ£.

Shouldn’t it be the other way round anyways let’s get this over with. I muttered in my mind with my eyes on my wrist watch.

“Hello Miss Fernanda!” A voice echoed and it sounded familiar, I raised my face up but I was shocked to the bone when I saw Jeromino sitting in front of me.

“Are you stalking me?” I asked seriously and he smiled.

“Of course not… I’m your d@tĀ£. Didn’t your informant tell you that”

“I told you, you can’t decline my request”

CHAPTER 5 Ā°Ā°Ā°

FERNANDA

I stood up immediately he said those words.

“Where you going? I just arrived” Jeromino said with a silly smile and I clenched my fist.

“I’m heading back home. I think I’m done with the d@tĀ£ before it even started” I said seriously and he held my hand gently.

“Don’t tĀ©uƧh me” I jĀ£rked off his hand as I sat down.

“What don’t you like about me because it seems like you’re holding grudges against me” He said calmly and I sm-irked.

“Cut the chess and tell me what you want from me. You’re appearing everywhere in my life and I’m not comfortable with that, we’ve never met before so I doubt we have any scores to settle so just go ahead and tell me what you want from me” I said seriously and he placed his hands across each other.

“You’re right we’ve never met each other before but I’ve heard a lot about you and I guess that’s when it all started” He smiled then the waiter to our table.

“What started?” I asked curiously and the waiter c@mĀ£ to our table.

“Get us the best dishes on your menu” Jeromino instructed and the waiter left.

“It all started when I saw your sh0ts for last winter wears” He said slowly.

“You’ve lost me there. Can you be more clear, what started? Don’t tell me you have feelings for me?” I asked curiously and he scoffed.

“That’s too forward so you shouldn’t put it that way. I’m not sure about what I feel and that’s why I c@mĀ£ back to Mexico to confirm it. I’m only requesting for two d@tĀ£s and I’m pretty sure we will be done before we’re done with our couple shoots this month” He said softly.

“I never said I would agree to the shoots with you” I cleared out and he smiled.

He smiles so often, it will be ha-rd guessing what’s on his mind…

“Seeing the way things are still calm that means you will do it. It’s just a few sh0ts there’s nothing wrong with changing your personality for a few minutes and for my two d@tĀ£s I will reward you handsomely both in your career and your bank account” He said with a smile and the waiter brou-ght the dishes to our table.

“Why me?” I asked a bit confused.

“Trust me, you’re smarter than you think. You will definitely make the right decision, two d@tĀ£s won’t be much of a big deal to you right and again you’re getting paid for it” He said slowly with his eyes on the dishes.

“I don’t jump to conclusions easily so you will have to give me sometime to think about it” I cut in and he nodded.

“You have till tomorrow morning, I will wait for your call. Here’s my number” He said swiftly as he dialed his number on my phone.

“Let’s eat, the food is getting cold” He added as he began to eat.

How can he eat so comfortably around a stranger? He’s so strict in getting what he wants. It’s surprising how popular I’ve become in my career to the extent of Jeromino Guzman hearing of me. I hope to meet up to mum’s reputation in the industry. She’s long gone but so people still talk about her. I g@sped in my head sadly as I chew on my food gently.

“Your mum was an amazing model, so many models look up to her. You must be proud of her” Jeromino cut in out of the blue and I stared at him in a different light for the first time.

“I’m no longer surprised on how you know of my mum and of course I’m proud of her and I’m also looking up to her” I uttered with a smile and he wiped hisl-ips with a wipes.

“I can make you walk on those red carpets your mum walked on, I can make you famous that’s only if you agree to go on two d@tĀ£s with me” He said softly.

“If that’s my reward after the two d@tĀ£s then I accept to go on a d@tĀ£ with you” I swallowed ha-rd and he smiled.

“I have a condition” He uttered and I held my breath for some seconds.

“I knew it, this deal was too good to be true”

“Relax ok, you will let me show you affection in public even during our shoots. That’s my condition” He explained.

“What kind of affection, if you don’t mind?” I asked curiously.

“It won’t be any fun if I tell you right now so let’s wait till then. After our first shoots, we will go on a d@tĀ£” He muttered out and I couted with my f!ngersthe days left before the shoot.

“Don’t you think that’s too soon” I whined and he smiled.

“It’s just a d@tĀ£ and I don’t have much time to spend in Mexico city so it’s better to get it done while I’m still available”

A WEEK LATER BEFORE THE SHOOT….

“Fernanda dear are you okay?” Abuela asked worriedly as I joined her on the couch.

“Haven’t you been eating properly? You look so exhausted” Dad exclaimed.

“It’s so exhausting being a fit model. Daddy I never had to go on diet when I did my commerical modelling” I said tiredly.

“Your mum never skipped meals or stayed on diet when she did fitness modelling. Fernanda you’ve got a perfect bĀ©dy and that’s all thanks to your mum. You don’t have to go on diet, it make you look only pale so go gr-ab some food in the kitchen” Dad instructed and I smiled wi-dely.

“I love you so much daddy” I said and ran to the kitchen with the last strength left in me.

“If she was so hungry why did she starve herself? Benicio was right, Fernanda’s work is the ha-rd est in this house” Abuela uttered out jovially and Dad laughed.

DAY OF THE SHOOT…

I put on one of the dress and everyone flung their mouths open as I walked into the studio.

“It fits but it feels like I can’t breathe” I complained trying to adjust the dress and Jeromino walked to me.

“It feels like an angel walked in here” Jeromino said softly as he ca-ressed my hair to my ears and dad couldn’t get his eyes off me.

“I’ve always knew my daughter’s so beautiful. She got the looks of an Angel” Dad complimented from where he was standing.

“Come on, you’re ma-king me feel awkward” I mumbled as the make up artist tried to adjust my make up.

“Okay let’s get started” The director announced and Jeromino and I walked into the setting.

“How are we supposed to pose? I’ve never really done this before” I said slowly and Jeromino gr@bbĀ£d me by the w@!st closer to me with that sĀ£dƻƧt!velook in his eyes.

“That’s it, you’re getting it” The ph0togra-pher complimented as c@mĀ£ra began to flash lights on us.

“Okay that’s good, let’s go for another pose” The director said and Jeromino swiftly turned me around his hand around shoulders and w@!st as he hvgged me from behind.

“Wow I’m loving this, this is the reason why Jeromino is popular in this industry” The director complimented and for no reason my heartbeat began to race.

“Don’t you think we’re a bit too close” I whisper to him and I could hear him chuckle from behind.

“I haven’t even started yet” He sm-irked and the director cl@pped his hands.

“Let’s have a ten minutes break so we change the setting” The director announced and the artist walked to Jeromino and I but I noticed the look on daddy’s face so I walked to him.

“Fernanda what’s going on? Don’t you think your poses are quite inti-mate? The both of you haven’t met before but why does look like the both of you know each other?” Dad asked curiously and I placed my hands on my w@!st.

“Daddy it’s just poses, there’s nothing attached to it and nobĀ©dy re-ads meaning into such things because it’s our job to look good for the public” I explained.

“Jeromino and Fernanda hits a beautiful chemistry. Do you think they’re in a relationsh!p?” Some workers murmured to themselves and dad glared at me.

“What were you saying just now?” Dad whined and I looked at Jeromino and we had an eye contact. Dad got a call and left the studio.

What did he mean by he haven’t started yet?…

“Okay everywhere get to work” The director announced and I went back to the setting with Jeromino and this time we’re to seat on a couch.

“Why are you tense? You should relax a bit so this comes out beautiful and it’s not like I didn’t tell you about this” Jeromino whispered to me and I swallowed ha-rd .

“Okay, give us a pose” The ph0togra-pher requested and Jeromino placed me in between his legs as he placed his hand on th!ghs c@rĀ£ss!ngthem gently.

I could feel his erected c0ckon my back and his tĀ©uƧh slowly turning me on…
