Chapter 456
The instructor placed a hand over his chest, “Oh. My deepest apologies.”
The apology lasted approximately two seconds then his eyes drifted away from Vincenzo and landed directly on Raphael.
I saw the exact moment Raphael realized what was happening.
The instructor tilted his head, “Oh.”
A smile tugged at my mouth immediately because Raphael looked uncomfortable. Actually uncomfortable.
It was like spotting a unicorn in the wild.
“And who is this?” the instructor asked.
Claire’s eyes lit up. I immediately knew this was about to become a disaster, “That’s Raphael.”
The instructor continued staring.
Claire smiled sweetly, “He’s single.”
I bit the inside of my cheek.
The instructor’s entire face brightened, “Oh.”
Raphael looked ready to throw himself off the terrace.
The instructor folded his arms, studying him, “Hmm. You have beautiful eyes.’
I almost fell over because Raphael looked like his brain had completely stopped functioning.
A laugh escaped before I could stop it.
Because seeing Raphael Capone completely out of his element was, apparently, one of the funniest things I had ever witnessed.
It was glorious.
Absolutely glorious.
I pressed a hand against my mouth, trying to contain myself. It didn’t work.
The instructor was still saying something to Raphael, but I wasn’t listening anymore because
Raphael’s eyes narrowed on me.
He wasn’t looking at Vincenzo.
Or Claire.
Or anyone else.
He was looking at me.
Just me.
The laughter caught in my throat. His face had changed, the irritation was gone, the annoyance was gone. Even that cold expression he wore most of the time had disappeared.
