“To quote someone much smarter than me—my mama—life has a way of bringing us what we need when we need it,”
Awww
“Who did this to you?” I asked. “Who made you so wary of people, you can’t think of anything but the bad?”
“To accept help when offered, knowing it wasn’t charity—it was friendship.”
“Mom, can you kiss Stefo later, like a rain check? I’m starving and I need to eat. I think my legs are gonna fall off, I’m so hungry.”
Hahahahaha
Theo bounded down the steps, holding up his blue-striped trunks. “Got them! Let’s go, Stefo! I want to pic-a-nic!”
Hahahahaaha cutie!
It was a new job for me, yet one I had a feeling I wanted to claim for the rest of my life.
“You feel so fucking good.” “Sei più bella di un angelo.” “Take my cock, yes, like that. Just like that.” “Siamo fatti l'uno per l'altro.”
“You bring her here. I meet her. She will see nothing to be frightened of. Family protect family.” She met my eyes. “You make her your family, then she is part of this family, Stefano.”
“Careful, Stefo,” Theo said, sounding worried. “If you keep kissing Mommy, you’ll fall asleep, and I don’t know how to drive yet.”
Bahahhahaha
“You’re not ready, I know. But I wanted you to know how I was feeling. I’m here for you. With you. I’m not going anywhere, Tesoro. Whatever you need, whatever I can do, I’m here.” He smiled, his eyes soft, his voice dripping with love. “You’re not alone anymore. You never will be again.”
“I missed you, Stefo! When we played the tote game, I thought I wouldn’t see you anymore.” He screwed up his face. “I don’t like that game.”
“Say it again, Tesoro.” “I love you, Stefano Borelli. I love you with all my heart.” He sighed. “Those are my favorite words in the entire world.” “They’re all for you.” He kissed me again. “Good.”
“He died in prison,” he said, his voice low and raspy. “Picked a fight with the wrong guy.”
What?!
“He, ah, died too—not very long ago. We never reconnected, even though I tried several times.”
What?! Poor Chase !
“I want to marry you, Tesoro,” I said honestly. “Buy a house together and build a life. Make that baby for Theo. Take you to Mama’s on Sundays.” She blinked. “You’re going fast again, Stefano.” I winked. “Breaking the speed limit. You gonna join me or give me a ticket?” For a moment, she said nothing. Then she smiled. “I’m right beside you.” I pulled her close. “Ti amo, Gabby. My tesoro. My life.” She snuggled close. “Amore,” she sighed.
