Born Diva

Symphony

“No matter what happens, hold your head high.” Valentina’s words continue to play in my head from when she whispered them to me as she hugged me before I left for my date.

My first date has been amazing so far. I’ve done all that Val and Annabella told me to do. Up until this point their advice has paid off.

First, Michael took me to dinner at a lovely restaurant. I’m a picky eater, so I was a bit nervous when we first arrived. I’m glad I didn’t allow my nerves to get the best of me.

Once I looked at the menu, I was able to find something I would like, and it was divine. Michael kept the conversation going smoothly and shared bites of his food with me to try.

When I got too excited to find my words to express myself, he didn’t get annoyed with me. He allowed me time to calm and figure it out. I appreciate that.

This has all been so exciting and overwhelming for me at times. I can dance and perform before hundreds of people, but sitting across from Michael and wanting to impress him has been a bit daunting. However, Michael has made it worth the effort.

It is only now, as we sit in our box seats at the opera that I’m conflicted on whether or not I should follow Val and Annabella’s advice. As the beautiful performance continues below us and I begin to realize this is the part of the date the ladies were hinting about, I don’t know what I should do.

“Are you okay?” Michael leans to whisper in my ear as I pop the band on my wrist and bounce my knee.

I nod my head and lick my lips. Suddenly, I’m hyperaware of his nearness. His large hand on my bare thigh, his warm breath tickling my neck.

Maybe my sisters are right. Val and Annabella have only ever looked out for me. I haven’t known Val for long, but she has been genuine with me.

She confirmed the things I already knew about Julissa and made sure to let me know this was the reason she wanted me to come back to Michael. She wanted the woman gone.

“I have trusted them this far,” I whisper to myself.

“What was that?” Michael replies.

Instead of answering him, I place my hand behind his head and join our lips. Michael quickly takes over the kiss and deepens it as he groans into my mouth.

He breaks the kiss with so much lust in his eyes as he looks back at me; the war I’m having with myself is broken. I reach beneath my dress and hook my fingers into my panties as the ladies told me to. Then I lock my gaze with Michael’s and pull the tiny fabric from under the dress.

Once I have them in my grasp, I reach for Michael’s hand and press the tiny scrap into his palm. He looks at me with so much want I shiver. However, I remain focused on my instructions.

I straighten in my seat and cross my legs as if nothing just happened. Michael reaches to place his fingertips beneath my chin and turns my face to his. His blue eyes are blazing as he looks back at me.

“Does this mean you are ready to go home?” he asks huskily.

“If you have the restraint to wait that long, it is up to you,” I reply.

“Symphony,” he growls in warning.

“Yes?”

“Don’t try to play innocent with me. I will fuck you right in this booth. I have wanted you since you came down those steps in that tiny thing you think is a dress,” he says as he slides his hand up my thigh.

“Oh, how exciting. You will fuck me here in public? Will you shove those in my mouth so I don’t scream?

“I am wet already. The decision is yours. I have had an amazing time. This will only make the night unforgettable for me.”

He palms the back of my neck and tugs me forward for a passionate kiss. All apprehension has melted away. I want this more than anything.

Val was right, Michael is totally turned on by the thought of taking me in this box while people are all around us. My belly drops as he smoothly moves his hand along my skin, up under my dress.

Grasping my thigh, he uncrosses my legs and begins to finger me. I whimper into his mouth as he continues to kiss me passionately.

In no time, the sound of his fingers moving in and out of my juices fills the air. I reach for his tux jacket and hold on tightly. He moves his lips to my neck and begins to press kisses there.
