Olivia POV I wake up and blink my eyes a couple of times to adjust to the bright light invading our bedroom. I look around and I find Raphael still asleep next to me. Heâs laying on his stomach with the pillow on top of his head. He probably woke up before me and decided it was too early to open his eyes and went back to sleep.
He is not wearing a t-shirt and his boxer shorts are hanging dangerously low. I can see his well-shaped ass and I smiled.
I mustâve done something right with my life to have this Greek god looking of a man in bed with me. He is so damn sexy. His dark aura and his bad-boy vibes were what attracted me the most. I canât even believe how happy he makes me. He might be this ruthless businessman for the outside people, but for me, he was my adored and sweet future husband. We obviously had our ups and downs but I wouldnât change it for the world. That made us strong as a couple. Our little family is the most precious thing I could ever ask for.
But today.... today is a dream becoming true. I am going to the MET Gala with the most amazing dress.
The beauty squad will be here around 10 to get me ready and then we have a town SUV coming to pick us up. Inside has plenty of space of the team to do the last touch-ups on my hair and makeup.
I sit on the bed and I get up to go to the bathroom when I feel Raphaelâs arms wrapping around my waist and pulling me back to bed. I let out a small scream and a giggle when my back hits the mattress.
âWhere do you think youâre going?â - he asks and I look at him now hovering over me.
âTo the bathroom to have a showerâ - I say and Raphael smiles âAm I invited?â - he asks while he kisses me âWe need to save water donât we?â - I tell him while Raphael stands up and walks around the bed.
âIâll start the waterâ - he says walking into the bathroom while I get up and drop my PJs on the floor.
I smile looking at myself in the mirror. I learned to be confident about my curvy body. I was always too self-conscious to show off like this. But hey. Itâs only my future husband in there and Iâm sure he will like it.
I walk into the bathroom and Raphael is naked brushing his teeth. I stand next to him on my side of the sink and I start brushing my teeth as well. His eyes are glued on my body through the mirror and I can see the grin on his face. I can see all the dirty thoughts going through his head.
âSave it for laterâ - I say as I walk past him into the walk-in shower.
Raphael walks behind me and his hands fall onto my hips while we both get soaked with the water.
âKeep your hands to your self misterâ - I say letting out a giggle when his hand find my ass and give it a big squeeze.
âAre you sure?â - he says while he kisses my neck from behind. I can feel his bulging cock against my ass.
I turn around to face him and wrap my arms around his neck.
âWe need to get readyâ - I say grabbing the shower gel that is behind him. I put some on the sponge and start washing his body.
I drop the sponge and allow my hands to touch every inch of his body. His perfect body. His muscles covered in tattoos, his hairy chest that drives me nuts. Raphael turns while I wash his back and ass. I kneel so I can ask his legs.
âYou missed somethingâ - he says now turning to face me and all I can see is his erect cock right in front of me.
My mouth starts watering and I let out a deep breath wrapping my hand around his cock and starting to rub it. Up and down and then onto his balls. I can feel Raphaelâs breath change and become heavier.
His hand fall on my head and he guides my mouth to suck him off. I canât resist and wrap my mouth around him. I can feel him growing even bigger inside my mouth.
His hands guide me up and down his cock while my hand is busy playing with his balls. Once I stop I take it out and start sucking and licking his balls. Raphael letâs out a loud moan and I take it as pleasing. My hand keep touching his length. Up and down. I know he is close to explode so I take him in my mouth again and not long after he comes in my mouth. Like a good girl, I swallow it all and show him my empty mouth.
Raphael lifts me up and hugs me tight while I wrap my legs around his waist.
âYou do that so wellâ - he says while his mouth falls on my nipple.
âThanks, baby, but I really need to get readyâ - I say and he growls.
âFive more minutesâ - he says âIt never takes only five minutes, I donât want to be late and I still want to go see the kidsâ - I say unwrapping my legs and putting my feet on the floor.
âNot fairâ - he says while he kisses me âLife is unfairâ - I tell him while I wash my body and hair quickly.
When I finish I wrap a towel around my body and exit the shower while Raphael stays there a little longer.
I walk into the dressing room grabbing a set of cream loungewear.
After I get dressed I wrap my hair onto a messy bun on top of my hair. No need for makeup. I walk out and Raphael is sitting in the bed. Naked.
âSure I canât tempt you?â - he asks and I smile looking at his erection that is back to say hello.
âOh, I am sure, save your strength for later, after the Galaâ - I tell him while I walk out of the bedroom towards the elevator to go to Mariaâs house. The kids went to stay there last night and we will have today and tomorrow without kids so we can just enjoy the Gala.
As I wait for Maria to open the door I can hear all the giggles come from inside. Zane is standing outside of the door and he smiles at me while the giggles keep going.
Maria opens the door.
âHello loveâ - she says with a smile walking back to the kids while I close the door behind me.
I see Gabe sitting on the sofa with a colouring book. Mike and Mel are watching tv and giggling while Maria tickles them.
I sit next to Gabe and he looks at me but dismisses me instantly looking back into his book. He must feel like everyone is abandoning him. His mother passed away. His grandmother doesnât want anything to do with him because of Raphael. Raphael is extremely busy and Gabe doesnât talk to him as much anymore.
âCan I help?â - I ask and Gane just shrugs his shoulders.
I grab a blue pencil and start colouring the sky. We stay in silence for a little longer. He is in his own world and I donât want to disturb him.
A few minutes later Gabe stops colouring and looks at me.
âAre you okay sweetie?â - I ask him âIs daddy coming?â - he asks and I smile.
âDo you want him to come and see you?â
Gabe nods with his head.
âThen he is comingâ - I say while I stand up.
âJust going to use the bathroomâ - I say. Once I get out of sight I message Raphael.
09.03 âGabe wants to see youâ
09:04 âAre you sure?â
09:04 âHe asked if you were coming to see himâ
09:05 âIâm comingâ
I walk back into the living room and now Gabe is on the floor with his siblings. Maria walks back with some snacks and they all smile at the sight of food.
Whoever saw them like this would think we never feed them.
Raphael walks through the door and both Mike and Olivia run towards him. Gabe doesnât move just looks at Raphael.
He puts them both on the floor after a little cuddle and walks to Gabe.
âHi buddyâ
âHiâ - Gabe says and Raphael smiles.
Itâs the first time in a while since Gane spoke to Raphael.
âWanna go to the park?â - Raphael asks him and he nods.
They both leave and I say goodbye to the kids and go back to the penthouse because the beauty squad is already there.
I am extremely nervous.
The red carpet starts at 5:30 but we need to get out of the penthouse shortly. We are going to one of Raphaelâs hotels to get ready.
Maria is coming to stay with the kids here. Although they have everything they need in her house Raphael prefers them here. Itâs safer.
He says the security system in Mariaâs house needs an update. I agree. I prefer them here.
I grab my phone and I excuse myself to call Raphael letting him know we are going to the hotel and he can meet us there later on. For now, will be some chit chat and champagne.
âHello loveâ - he says as he answers the phone âIâm heading to the hotel nowâ - I say âOkay, Iâll meet you there in a couple of hours, take the security with youâ - he says âI will, love youâ - I say âLove you tooâ - Raphael says it back and the entire team start whistling and clapping.
âGirl, you definitely tamed the Sharkâ - Marco says while he wraps his arm around mine while we leave the penthouse.
âI knowâ - I say and we all giggle.
The limo is waiting for us at the door of the building and the security opens the door for us.
âCompliments from Mr Lockwoodâ - he says and we all look at each other and smile getting in the limo.
Champagne was served in the limo while we had a little tour of New York. We drove past the MET and everything was getting ready. The tent outside the steps where the car would park for us to leave so no one from the outside could see us coming in, the red carpet, was spectacular. There was already a lot of paparazzi outside.
I canât believe in a few hours I will be going up those steps wearing the most amazing Dior dress.
Once we stop in front of the hotel paparazzi start taking photos and shouting questions. We all ignored them and walked in. We were greeted by the hotel general manager that gave us the car to the penthouse royal suit. Once inside we all look around, everything is beautiful and white.
âRaphael outdid himselfâ - Amanda says and I nod with a smile plastered on my face.
âFirst things first, you will have a relaxing bath with some salts and relax while we prep everything here for youâ - Amanda says and I smile âYou are the bossâ - I tell her while I walk to the bathroom to start running the bath.
We throw some salts and bubbles. Marco brings a flute of champagne and places it on the side of the massive tub, lights up some candles and puts on relaxing songs.
âInâ - he says walking out of the bathroom.
I undress and get in the bath. As I am soaking I remember I didnât bring my phone with me, I could use it right now but I ignore that and close my eyes relaxing my body before the events of today.
Donât know how long after I hear a soft knock on the door âWe are ready for you whenever you areâ - Amanda says with her head inside the bathroom.
âIâll be there in a minute â - I say while I stand up and wrap a fluffy towel around my body.
âThereâs a robe for you near the doorâ - she says and I walk to the door and thereâs a fluffy white robe with my initials engraved.
I dry myself and then wrap the robe around my body. Oh my god, this feels like heaven.
I walk out and the twins are waiting for me so they can start on my hair and makeup while Amanda tackles manicure and pedicure.
âI didnât know you would be doing my nailsâ - I say âI donât know anyone better than meâ - she says âSheâs a perfectionistâ - Marco says while he gets the dress all ready for me I feel so spoiled. This is amazing.
After my make up is done and I look at myself in the mirror I donât even recognise myself. All the colours used were nudes and black on my eyes. They are popping. The green is met with the black and makes my eyes stand out perfectly. Still a simple but beautiful makeup. I would never be able to accomplish this myself. I look so beautiful.
My nails are with french manicure and my hair is styled to perfection making believe I have shoulder-
length hair.
I donât know how Bella did this but it looks amazing.
Exactly at the same time, I am looking at myself in the mirror Raphael walks in and stops on his tracks looking at me.
âYou look beautiful â - he says with a smile âThank youâ - I say turning around to look at him.
âYou are beautiful â - he says and I feel my face going bright red.
âRaphael, time for your suitâ - Marco says âIâll just have a quick shower and shaveâ - he says âNo shavingâ - Marco says and we both look at each other.
âOkayâ - Raphael says âThis caveman look he has going on with the beard makes him even more desirableâ - Marco says with a grin.
âI knowâ - I say while I stand up and walk to the dressing area where another two girls are waiting for me.
I didnât even notice them coming in.
âThese are my helpersâ - Marco says dismissing them âHiâ - I say and none of them replies.
âThey wonât talk, they are here to learnâ - Marco says and I nod.
After what felt hours of pulling and pushing and getting my boobs in the right place the dress is on. I look at myself in the mirror and I canât believe itâs me.
The dress is black and cream colours. The dress goes to my feet in a beautiful evening gown.
This is the most beautiful dress Iâve ever seen. Itâs sleeveless but not tacky, has a see-through layer and on top, a cream almost golden layer with flowers engraved just a little darker than the original dress colour. On top thereâs a black layer with black flowers so wrong just the right parts, allowing the cream and gold to shine under it.
Raphael walks out of the bathroom exactly when a tiara is put on my head and stilettos are waiting for me.
âFuck meâ - Raphael lets out walking around just in his boxer shorts.
His hair is wet and messy, hot.
Final touches are done to my make up while Raphael is dressed on his beautiful black Dior suit with a cream and gold scarf.
âYou two will be the talk of the townâ - Amanda says taking some photos without phones.
âPhones not allowedâ - Raphael says and we both leave them on the hotel room while we walk out of the penthouse to the private elevator that will take us straight to the car that will drive us to the event.
I couldnât be more nervous. My hands are shaking on my lap and Raphael holds my hand tight.
âYou okay?â - he asks âJust a little nervous â - I tell him.
Raphael gives my hand a little squeeze and when we arrive and the car stops inside the tent Amanda, Marco and the twins tackle both me and Raphael making us look perfect.
Once outside I can hear all the clicks and shouts from the press.
âOlivia, Raphael, hereâ - someone shouts and we look at them posing for the photo.
âOlivia who are you wearing?â - someone else asks âDiorâ - I let out with a smile and Raphael holds me tighter.
âYou look stunningâ - he whispers in my ear and I smile looking at him âThatâs it, donât moveâ - someone shoring takes the photos. Once they finish we are told by one of the organisers to start going up the steps.
Raphael holds me tight as I am shaking and afraid I might fall.
Once we get in there are loads of famous people talking and gathering around the tables.
âMr And Miss Lockwood, this way to your tableâ - the hostess says and starts guiding us through the crowd inside to a table right in the middle.
Raphael pulls the chair out for me to sit and I smile taking my place. He sits next to me and thatâs when I hear a familiar voice behind me.
âYou didnât think we would leave you alone did you?â - I hear and I look around to find Anna and my brother, John and his boyfriend. All elegantly dressed and smiling.
âHow?â - I ask âRaphael bought the table and the ticketsâ - Ana says smiling and giving me a tight hug.
âSeriously?â - I ask still in shock âI knew you were gonna need some backupâ - Raphael says âYou mustâve spent a fortuneâ - I say âA small one yeahâ - he says with a smile - âbut it is worth it to see that smile on our faceâ
âSo, how was it? The red carpet?â - Anna asks âYou didnât?â
âNo, we are not famous so we walked inside before the red carpet event startedâ
âOhâ - I say a little in shock still.
I and Anna keep gossiping while the man talks about god know what. I see so many famous people.
Itâs absolutely a dream come true.
The dinner was gorgeous. Everything was really well executed and well served. The serving staff were super attentive and smily. Everything was perfect.
After dinner thatâs when the magic happens and the partying starts, thereâs plenty of parryâs all around town that we were invited to attend, we stayed a little longer looking at the exhibitions and then we danced and had a lot to drink in the dancing area.
âIâm going to the bathroomâ - Raphael says leaving me with Anna and John.
âMay I have this dance?â - I hear a Spanish accent behind me and I see a beautiful tanned man with dark brown eyes and an impeccable suit smiling at me.
âSureâ - I say and Anna nods and smiles âRaphael wonât like itâ - John says and I smile.
We were dancing and I could feel Raphaelâs blue eyes burning into my skin while the guy's hand were all over my body. It started to make me feel uncomfortable.
âI should goâ - I say âJust a little longer guapaâ - he says - âhas anyone told you how beautiful you are?â - he asks âMy fiancé every dayâ - I reply and thatâs when I see Raphael walking towards us.
âExcuse meâ - he says trying not to make a scene.
âCanât you see she is busy?â - the guy says âTake your hands off of my fiancé right now or you will lose themâ - Raphael says while he pulls me behind him and the guy takes one step back.
âMr Lockwood, I am sorry, I. I. Didnât knowâ - he says and walks away I let out a giggle and Raphael wraps his arms around me.
âI think itâs time for us to go change for the after-partyâ - he says with his hand on my lower back.
He is jealous and I am loving it.
Raphael escorts me to the car so we can go back to the hotel and change to our party clothes and I can feel his hand on my lower back guiding me.
Once we get in the car Raphael grabs me and sits me on top of him so I straddle him.
âYou were a very naughty girlâ - he says now lifting my dress and touching my bare skin making my heart race and my face go bright red.
