Part 2

She had finished the shoot with Bella and Gigi Hadid at nearly 3pm and was glad it was over doing a photo shoot with those two together had tried her patience to the limit she was glad to be back in her hotel room where she was enjoying coffee and chocolate cake that she had ordered from room service and decided that a nap was in order and set the alarm on her phone for 6pm.

She felt nervous as she finished getting ready for dinner with Bruno and had just put her shoes on when she hears a knock on her room door she looks at her watch to see it was 7pm and opens the door to see Bruno smiling at her they both say hi at the same time and she tells him I just have to put on my jacket and grab my bag as she walks away from the door he follows her in and tells her ok.

He takes her to a thai restaraunt where they and his security are taken upstairs they were the only ones sitting upstairs and seeing CeCe look between the filled dining room downstairs compared to where they are seated Bruno says I bought the upstairs for the night no one other than staff can come up here so we can have privacy with no interuptions and no one can over hear what we talk about.

They talked about trivial things that really didn't matter while having dinner and while they are having coffee after desert Bruno says look I stayed with Jessica 18 months longer than I should have because it was convenient and easier or so I thought and then I got home 1 day and found her in my bed with another guy and I ended it and I felt relieved not hurt that she had cheated on me and decided I didn't want to be tied down to any woman so I started living the life of a player and then we started having sex and I thought that was all there was between us, all I wanted with you but then you ended it CeCe and I realised I want to be with you, I want to get to know you and spend time with you, i've missed you and you have driven me crazy ignoring my calls and messages and I don't want anyone but you I care about you a lot he blew out a breath and says I just want a fresh start for us, no more hiding the fact we're together and see where it goes.

If you can tell me you feel nothing for me, haven't missed me like i've missed you i'll leave you alone he tells her.

She had listened to him without interuption taking in everything he had said and tells him we go from one extreme to another from being at each others throats most of the time to trying being friends to having sex to what? dating now? she asks him.

I know he laughs a little and takes hold of her hands and says it's never dull between us thats for sure just give me, give us a chance.

She shakes her head at him and says look I have missed you and I do have feelings for you and I ignored your calls and messages because I didn't want to get sucked back into meaningless sex with you again.

That is not what I want with you CeCe have you heard anything i've been saying to you?

I haven't been with anyone else since the first time we had sex or since you ended it he tells her.

I have which is why i'm willing to give you a chance she replies.

He smiles and leans over and kisses her gently and pulls back and says good theres just one thing I need to know though.

What she asks him.

Are you involved with Drake he asks her.

I never have and never would get involved with him Bruno he's not my type she replies.

They talked for 2 more hours about their families and played 20 questions and when Bruno takes her back to her hotel room she turns to him and thanks him for dinner and they arrange to have lunch the following day and kiss before she goes into her room and he leaves to go to his because as much as she wanted him she wasn't ready to have sex again with him yet.

She had just gotten settled in bed when her cell phone rings she picks it up to see that it's Bruno calling and answers to him saying well your answering my call that is definite progress making her laugh they talk for a while before she sleepily tells him I need sleep and they both say goodnight and hang up.

He was relieved she was giving them a chance he'd enjoyed dinner with her, just being with her and talking and the fact she had answered his call made Bruno happy.
