Zia Knight POV

I have managed to complete making my pizza dough and letting it sit so yeast can do its wonder. I have also done portioning the pizza toppings into small bowls for  later. As soon that was sorted out, I quickly went upstairs for a quick shower to get rid off the flour of my face and hair. What my face was a bit itchy and I forgot I had a doughy-floury hand.

I was inspired by Angela this morning so instead of going all black, I decided to go all white minus my jacket. Yup, I look nice. I quickly tie my hair in a high ponytail and apply a light make up before i made my way to my G-wagon.

I texted Angelo's to let him know that I am on my way. I know where the Lombardi office since it's not that far from the restaurant. After 20-minutes drive I made it to the Lombardi HQ and unlock my phone to find a text from Angelo telling me that he has inform the security. Good!

I park my car in one of the free one and head to one of the security standing near the entrance. As I was approaching him but with my sunnies covering my eyes, I can see how the two securities men were eyeing me up and down lustfully. Disgusting! where is their professionalism? 

I kept my stride and pace normal ignoring their lustful gaze. I didn't really want to talk to these men but I have no choice they are the 'security' here. I stood in front of one of them keeping my distance from them.

"Excuse me, I am here to get something off Mr. Lombardi he told me that he has informed you guys about it" I said politely.

"Oh, if you wish to meet Mr. Lombardi his office is in the 40th floor miss" he said before he smiled.

"um.. no. I don't need to meet him. He said you guys can handle it, it's only a booster seat after all"

"I'm sorry miss we didn't catch your name and what booster seat are you speaking of?" 

Are these guys serious? Is this for real? Is Angelo for real? I groan quietly and rub my temple in frustration.

"Never mind I will just see him now" I said to them but smile in the end out of politeness.

I walk straight to the elevator ignoring the curious and annoying glare coming from receptionists and other staffs. The elevator open and I quickly press the 40th button. During the entire elevator ride I type an angry text to Angelo telling him how's he going to get it for him and his security incapability for a simple task. It's just a booster seat for God sake!

The ding sound notifies me that the elevator has reach to the floor level of my destination. I quickly walk out but keeping my eyes on my phone since I am now texting a complain text to Avery about her boyfriend. 

"Excuse me, who are you? You can't just walk in without appointment." I ignore the annoying voice because I am too pissed to even care about others. There is only one and one man alone that I just want to have a go with right now.

"Hey, stop walking!" I can hear the owner of the voice is now running towards me and I begin to fasten my pace. As soon I see the door and hears Angelo's voice I quickly barged into the office without knocking. 

I look around the office and found Angelo along with two other males sitting around the desk. 

"Hey..." I ignored the guy who begin to stand up and raised his voice at me. I quickly walk towards Angelo who is now looking at confused but with a slight fear shone in his eyes. I quickly reach and grab onto one of his ears; I pulled him off the chair and walk towards the elevator. I pressed the button to the elevator ignoring Angelo's whining to release him and groaning for the pain I'm causing him. Meanwhile, the others are standing frozen in a state of shock by my action. 

As soon the elevator door arrived and opened, I drag Angelo along with me and press the ground floor button. I finally let go of his ear and cross my arms around my chest as I give him my pissed off look that even Zach is afraid of. It's intimidating according to him and I guess he's right because Angelo is now fidgeting as he stand. 

"um... Zia. Did... did.. I...I do something?" he stuttered. I look down to my wrist watch and found that I'm going to be late if I prolong this any longer. I groaned in frustration and curse quietly.

"YOU... How dare you! I told you to inform the security but no... they weren't aware of me coming at all. So I want you now to get the booster seat yourself and hand it to me. I have parked my car in one of the front's parking spot. If you don't give it to me within 7-minutes I will make sure that you are ruin! and I mean it! I will even use Avery and make sure that you won't be seeing or talking to her for the next two weeks." the elevator door arrived to the ground floor and open as soon I was done telling him that.

I quickly walk out of the elevator by myself not looking back to Angelo. 

Just before the 5-minutes is up Angelo arrived panting out of breath with the booster seat on his hands. I took it off him and place it at the back seat of my car still ignoring his miserable state. As soon I'm done setting Derek's booster seat I turned around to find Angelo who has finally breathe normally but sweats are now rolling down from his temple. I raised my brow at him waiting for him to say something. 

"umm... the security I warned about your arrival ended his shift minutes before you arrived. He forgot to pass on the message to the others, sorry" he said sheepishly  while keeping his eyes on the ground.

"I did tell you to not fuck it up yet you did. Whatever I don't have time for this I have to go or I'll be later than I already am. I won't forget this Angelo, pulling your ear isn't enough you owe me." I watch him carefully as he now mumble his sorry again with a pouty lip. I sighed and hug him before I bid him goodbye, He was surprised but still return my hug wih another sorry. I patted his head just to lighten up his mood. He swatted my hand and grumble which made me let out a small laugh.

I saw a man coming out of the Lombardi building entrance looking around the car park as if searching for something. His eyes halted to where Angelo and I are standing. Not wanting to be any later than I already am I said my last good bye and run to my driver seat. I quickly turned my car on and reverse out of the car park and make my way out of the Lombardi premises. I look in my rear-view mirror finding that the guy who walked out of the building is now standing next to Angelo but staring hard in my direction. 

After 15-minutes, I slammed my door sighing in relief that the bell rang just seconds before I park my car. The boys knew that I am coming to pick them up today but I still want to surprise them. So now I am currently hiding behind the pillar near the entrance door where the kindergarten kids will be storming out from. I waited for 5 minutes and finally I see the familiar backpack and faces of Lucas and Derek. They have on their hands an extra bag that can only be their spare clothes for their sleepover. 

I quietly tip toeing myself towards them while ignoring the look send to me by others around us. 3...2...1 "BOOO!" I jumped at them and saw them jump while screeching in surprise. 

I laugh out loud at them and finally they realised that it was only me who startled them. They finally squealed in excitement as they scream out my name in unison "ZIZI!" they run and jumped towards me and I quickly open my arms wide to catch them; Luckily I did it successfully.

All three of us are now laughing hysterically as we hug each other. The boys began to pepper kiss me all over my face once they're done I return the gesture added with a brief tummy-tickle.

"I missed you boys! my baby and my teddy-bear!" I hug and squeeze them to show them how I truly have missed them. "I'm sorry I haven't been around. I've been too busy but I never forget you!"

"We missed you to Zizi!" said Lucas.

"We missed you so much Zizi, terribly" grumble Derek who now has his eyes moist from the tears that are forming in his eyes. I smile softly at them and kiss their head before I took a hold of their extra bag  and carry them on my back. I then took a hold of each of their hand.

'Well, now that we're having a sleep-over we'll catch up for the days we didn't see each other. Sounds good?" they scream their loud 'yes' with vigorous nods and giggles.

"Well, let's run to the car then. tick tock.. let's not waste anymore time" we began to run towards my car while laughing from the excitement. I buckled the boys into the booster seat and immediately went to my driver seat. I started my car but I look back to tell the boys for today's plan.

"Okay boys listen up! I already have in mind what we can do for the rest of the day" they nod their head with eyes sparkle and toothy grin as they listen to every word I say. "I was thinking of having you two decorating the room you will be sleeping on in condo. Since it won't be your first and last of sleeping over with me I thought why not. So, we are going to the store and pick up toys, bedsheets, any indoor decorations that you want to put in there like stickers, lamp or anything you see and like we will get it"

"Yes!" they shouted their excitement. I put my hand up to quieten them down and continue.

"Then tonight we will be building a fort in my living room and have movie marathon with tons of snacks but before that I will need your assistance to make us some pizzas!" the boys answer me enthusiastically at the mention of pizza. I started to laugh as I watch them jumping on their booster seats pumping the air before hi-fiving each other non-stop.

"Alright off we go!"
