Lily's POV
It had been two weeks since I had seen Adonis's house and I was supposed to move in but I had been busy. Today I was leaving for Rome for two days then when I come back I'll be moving in with Adonis. I had become a brand ambassador and I had to do a campaign in Rome.
There were flights booked and I was leaving in five hours. I was packed and ready to go on my way to the airport I was passing through Adonis's office to say goodbye. In the past two weeks Adonis and I had become friends and we had had some moments that were just filled with sexual tension but we brushed it off. I had an interview on Ellen when I came back and she was going to ask questions for sure.
I left my home and my driver Bernard was driving me. I dragged my suitcase down to the lobby where the driver was waiting for me. We got into the car and made our way to Adonis's office. We got there and I jumped out and told Bernard he could go and come back in two hours and if anything changed I would text him.
I walked into the building and smiled at the same receptionist who helped me the last time I had been there. I went into the elevator and got onto the floor that had Adonis's office. I walked onto the floor and the receptionist who had tried to stop me the last time looked up from her computer and when she saw it was me she rolled her eyes and looked back down. I walked up the short flight of stairs to Adonis's office and opened the door and said ,'Honey, I'm home.'
He looked up from his computer and gave me a heart stopping smile. The past weeks my feelings for Adonis had become way more intense and real but there was no way I was telling him that.
I closed his door and he got up from his desk and said ,'Hey,' whilst walking towards me.
I smiled at him and he walked towards me with that grin still on his face.
He got to me and I gave him a hug and said ,'Hi.'
I broke the hug he pulled me with him to his desk. He took a seat and pulled me onto his lap. I looked at him with a serious look and said ,'I can't sit here Adonis.'
He kept quiet and kept on doing his work on his computer, I rolled my eyes and started using my phone. He worked whilst I was on his lap for about half an hour then he started watching the big bang theory on my phone. We watched two episodes and a message came in from Bernard saying he was arriving in a few minutes. I looked at Adonis because I knew he had seen the text. He wrapped his arms tightly around me and whispered into my back saying ,'Please don't go.'
I giggled and said ,'I'm going for two days, I'll be back soon then I'm moving in with you.'
I turned around in his lap and linked my arms around his neck. He pouted and I smiled at him and said ,'I'll be back soon, you won't even know I'm gone.'
He looked into my eyes and leaned forward. My breathe hitched and my face was moving closer too, I could feel his breathe on my face and he smelt like the gum I had given him. Adonis touched his lips to mine and first it was fast and consistent pecks then we started french kissing. We stopped and I put my face into his neck in an attempt to cool my face down. I stood up and said ,'So I'll see you when I'm back.'
He stood up and said ,'Let me walk you out.'
I nodded and he took my hand and we walked downstairs. Everyone was staring at us and I was feeling a bit self conscious right now. I sunk into his side wanting to hide and he wrapped his arm around me. I know I'm a model and being confident is a requirement but when I'm modelling it's different.
We got outside and Benjamin opened the door for me as he saw me walk through the doors. I tried to pull away from Adonis but he just hugged me silently and I hugged him back. I pulled away and looked at him and he put my face in his hands and kissed me.
He pulled away and said ,'I'll see you when you get back, roommate.'
I got into the car and Benjamin closed the door and we left for the airport.
I landed in Italy and walked out of the airport and there was papparazzi waiting for me outside. As soon as I stepped outside I heard papparazzi saying my name but i walked towards the car that was waiting for me and I had my security guards were around me. Kendall insisted I had security all the time and even paid for them so I couldn't argue with him.

It was night time when I got to Rome, so when I got to my hotel I showered and slept. The next day I woke up to my phone ringing and I groaned and answered it. I put my face in my pillow and heard Jenny saying we had to be at the sight of the campaign in two hours. I jumped up and took a shower and washed my hair. I dressed casual because I was going to get there for hair and make up anyway.
I had my hair in a high messy bun and with a clear face. I wore a simple summer dress with slides, I went down to the lobby where I saw my team waiting. I said morning to everyone and we went to the sight of the shoot. I got into hair and make up and they put my hair into really shiny big bouncy curls, when I moved my head the curls bounced too. The hairstylist was nice and we had been talking. While my make up was being done the director had come and he explained the concept of the campaign shoot.
The campaign was for perfume and I had to walk past people and they were going to be entranced by me or rather the perfume. I was wearing a short couture dress for the shoot and it was gorgeous.

I walked to the director and he looked me up and down and said ,'Perfect.'
I smiled at him and in an Italian accent he said ,'I want you to follow the camera but look around and walk like a goddess, when you walk everyone must be watching.'
I nodded at him and we started the shoot. The shoot took the whole day and I walked a lot through Rome and it was beautiful, I had at least been able to look at the architecture whilst I walked around.
The sun had set and we were now heading to the hotel. We got to the hotel and I stopped my whole team in the lobby and said ,'Hey guys, tomorrow you're all free to go sightseeing and shopping and then we are flying back the day after tomorrow. '
They smiled and nodded and I smiled back and went up to my suite. I took a shower and put on a hoodie and sat on my bed, I thought about ordering food because I hadn't eaten the whole day but I was too tired and I wasn't really up for eating. I got into my bed and got comfy, tomorrow I would spend my day chilling by myself, maybe go sightseeing then shopping.
A few minutes later, I had fallen asleep. The next morning I woke up at 11. I showered and decided to go out to eat and then maybe shop after eating. I walked out the hotel and found a little cafe and had breakfast there. All I was wondering as I was sitting in the cafe was am I going back and Adonis and I are acting like nothing happened, I mean that felt like something that needed to be addressed but with the way we had been handling the sexual tension and intimate moments we were probably going to act like nothing happened.
I paid and got up and I was now walking in and out of stores. I didn't go absolutely crazy , I just bought a few bags and shoes, I love shoes and I bought Kendall an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch for his upcoming birthday.
I was walking back to the hotel when I noticed a teenage girl was following me. I stopped walking and turned around to face her and said ,'Hey , can I help you?'
I was weary but she didn't give me dangerous vibes but in case she switched up I had stopped right in front of the hotel and the doorman was watching.
She started lookingdown at her feet and said ,'Oh my gosh, I'm so weird I'm following you like a psycho. I'm just a really big fan and I had noticed you before but I was really nervous and I was trying to talk myself into asking for picture and.'
IÂ started lauguing and she stopped rambling and I said ,'Uhm it's okay, I can take a picture with you.'
She was fumbling looking at her and I was laughing, she was so nervous. She went to Snapchat and started taking a video and she said ,'I can't believe it, I just met Lily Hart my heart is pounding.'
We pouted together and did different poses whilst laughing. When she ended thbe video, I gave her a hug and said it was nice meeting her. I was about to walk away but I looked at one of my Chanel bags and decided to give her the wallet I bought.
I took it out of the shopping bag and held it in her direction. She furiously started shaking her head, I smiled and said ,'Please I insist it would mean a lot of you took it.'
She now had tears streaming down her face and my eyes widened and I said ,'Please don't cry.'
She started sniffling and said ,'I'm sorry it's just that you're like my favorite model ever and you're kind too. You're making my year just by meeting you.'
I motioned for the doorman to come and I said to him ,'Please get me a sharpie and some tissues for this girl.'
He nodded and walked into the lobby and cane back with them I gave her the tissues and she wiped her face. While she was dealing with her face I signed the box of the wallet and wrote 'it was lovely meeting you. You reminded me of why I love my job so much.'
At the bottom of the message I wrote 'lots of love, Lily Rose Hart' and then signed under that.
I handed her the box and she attacked me with another hug. I hugged her back and said ,'It was so precious meeting you.'
I pulled away and waved as I walked away with a smile on my face. Fans like her made me remember why I love modelling aside from the fact that I love dressing up.
I landed at LAX and was walking towards the entrance and when we got there I saw Adonis leaning on an Aston Martin. He smiled when he saw me and I raised an eyebrow at him as he opened the door for me. I walked towards him and got into the car and he went round and sat in the driver's seat.
He started the car and turned to me and said ,'Hey.'
I smiled and said ,'Hey.'
He looked at the road and said ,'You up for dinner?'
I nodded and he said ,'Okay let's do that.'
He drove to the same restaurant we went to the last time and we were led to our table. On our way to the table, I heard someone say my name and I looked at Adonis and he had heard it too. I looked around and it was Leo, one of Damien's teammates was waving at me from a table that was filled with the Chargers team. I took a deep breathe and started walking towards Leo, he had always been nice to me. Adonis whispered in my ear ,'Are those Damon's friends?'
I nodded and laughed because he still called Damien, Damon. I got to where Leo was and he stood up and gave me a hug and said ,'Well hello stranger.'
I laughed and said ,'Hey Leo.'
He then said ,'How are you?'
I sighed exaggeratedly and said ,'I'm tired as hell, I just landed like an hour ago from Italy .'
He looked at me and said ,'Oh word?'
I nodded and then said ,'This is Adonis, my boyfriend.'
Leo gave him a nod and Adonis gave a nod back. I looked up at Adonis and said ,'This is Leo, he's a friend of mine.'
I looked up at the rest of the table who were all looking at us except Damien who was looking at his plate. I smiled and waved at everyone and they all said ,'Hey.'
I turned to Leo and said ,'We are going to go but it was so good to see you.'
He gave me another hug and shook Adonis's hand. We were about to walk away and the Chargers General Manager came back to the table and in a shocked tone said ,'Mr Hamilton.'
Adonis gave him a nod and the manager literally came towards us at an alarming speed and said ,'To what do we owe this pleasure.'
My eyebrows furrowed at how this man was reacting to Adonis. I looked at the table and they looked confused too.
Adonis still with his straight face said,'I'm here to have dinner with my girlfriend.'
The general manager looked at me and smiled and said ,'It's nice to meet you ma'am.'
I softly smiled at him and Adonis said ,'If you'll excuse us.'
He pulled me in front of him and we walked away without the man even getting a chance to reply. Adonis is really rude. He sat at the same place we had had in the last time and we sat the same way we sat the last time.
We ordered our drinks and food and now we were sitting. He was holding my hand in playing with my fingers and he said ,'So how was Italy?'
I put my head on his shoulder because I was really sleepy. I mumbled and said ,'It was fun, because Italy always is.'
I got up from his shoulder and said ,'How was everything here?'
He shrugged and said, 'Same old, you know.'
We spent the rest of dinner talking about everything and I had fun. Adonis was in a really good mood during dinner. After dinner he had taken me home and said he was coming over tomorrow at the too help me move stuff to his house.
