Chapter 145
We were all in my bed by 10:30pm snuggling close. Giovanni was in just his boxers and Catherine in her tank and boy shorts. I was all too warm and by 3:30 am I was finally too hot to stay between them. I had tired and finally gave up on trying to sleep. I used the bathroom and dressed for our flight finding that the two were finally snuggling together. I could not help but smile and snap a shot of them sleeping together. I saved it for later to have them with me always. It was my turn to throw something together to eat. I made a good spread of eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes and toast before we had to leave at 5:45AM. To get the private jet and runway just 10 mins away. Giovanni was the 2nd one up and dressed in sweats and his work out T-shirt. "Mmmm smells amazing... and what a spread...ummm and I woke up with Cate in my arms instead of you... so how long you been up?" he asked as he poured coffee and sat at the island to read the paper. I giggled a little before answering. "I have not yet been to sleep since the heat between the 2 of you. It was like being in a sauna. I finally had to get out of the sandwich I was up at 3:30. I got ready for the day and did this" I said as I handed him his plate. Then grabbed another for Cate who was still sleeping. I knew she needed to get up soon and went up to get her.
Catherine was already awake and getting dressed in just some shorts and her tank from bed. "Looking good sweetheart, how are you feeling after all that wine last night? I have something for you to eat downstairs to soak it all up so not to worry.... I am so happy we are spending the weekend together, but please no drama. No being mean to Giovanni and I also am hoping that I get to see Savannah. She has not called me since the whole Sebastian thing. I wasn't even going to bring up since I'm still horrified about the whole thing. Who knew he had such big balls to go up against his boss and just wow...." "Ya I thought the same thing when he told me right before he did it. With Savannah freaking out the whole time she even took off and went home. I kind of feel bad because it wasn't just you who fucked him but the both of us. I would not want to be the other person on that side of the table or Savannah. Who I'm sure is feeling like shit. Don't be too hard on her though because she really liked him, or still does not sure. I have not talked to her either or even really your parents except mom at lunch the other day. As you know I've been dealing with my own shit... so ya anyways lets’ go eat and have an awesome weekend...... ummm and I woke up when Giovanni jolted me. I guess we must have been spooning or something sooo umm sorry" she whispered as we left the bedroom.
We were on the jet with Donnie at exactly 6:00am with him being wide awake and ready to go himself. After just having flown my father all week and now coming back for us. So we could stay in California for a weekend. "I hope we are not putting you out of something important or..." "No baby girl...I love my job and you. Whenever you call and need me know that I'm always going to be there" Donnie said hugging me and then Catherine. "Giovanni meet my God-father Donnie Murray who is also our Capt.... Donnie meet Giovanni my friend and now bus...." "I know who he is.... nice to meet you..." Donnie said gripping onto Giovanni's hand tight. Both men were now staring for what seemed like long mins sizing one another up. "OK, OK are you 2 done now? the testosterone is thick in the air. I do believe if you keep doing this you are going to kill me and Cate as you suck the Oxygen out of the air..." Catherine busted up laughing finding the whole thing funny. "Damn I wish I got reactions like this from my parents. Then again I'm not sleeping with men old enough to……or well almost old enough to be my father... or mother for that matter" she said with such carefree in her tone I about started laughing. "OMG Cate..... ha really girlfriend he's 33 yes my father is 38, but ugh and Sharene is only 21 so it's not like she's robbing the cradle. As for Sebastian well my sweet friend don't forget there was more than two in that bed..." I said and she gasped and shut right up.
Both men turned and looked at us with Donnie groaning. As though his heart was breaking, and Giovanni hissed as he let out his held in breath. "So, are you two done now so we can go. Oh, ya Donnie guess who's pregnant with triplets? and no it's not me... or mother..." I said before anyone could say anything. Donnie smiled "Yes, honey my high school sweetheart. I'm very happy for her, she's wanted it for so long. Then when Julian passed it was just too hard for her. I'm happy she's now moving on in a way she feels is right for her" he said hugging me one last time. Giovanni took his seat across from us. After Catherine had taken the seat directly next to me and looked all but pleased. "Dude Giovanni relax you'll get her back later.... plus, the weekend. I'm sure you'll be in the same bed again...." "NOT.... this weekend is a partner free bed... you both have to do it. Quit cold turkey since when we get back I've got way too much on my plate. To be in anyone's bed but my own" I cut in before she could finish and before Giovanni could react.After a good 15-20 some odd mins in the air I was passed the fuck out. In my dream state where I had gone every night that I got sleep. I loved the feeling of how free I was feeling on both sides. I could at least drown out certain sounds and voices that I could not bear to still hear. At least for the time being which were that of Sharene's. Who was still crying herself to sleep most nights. "So, you have really thought about what Giovanni is going to ask Sharene.... You, sure if she take's the job she'll be happy. If he offers her the job with the business, you do realize that you'll see her more. Also having direct contact with her" my Grandmother Amelia asked. I knew that I was doing it for reasons that didn't really make sense to me, but they just felt right. "Well, I just want people around me to be happy and she's not happy.... even before all of this I could tell that she wasn't. Like I said there is just something about her and who knows maybe it's this. I am in the right head space and financial space to do it. So why not help her out and even if it's just a foot in the door and a path on the right road.... damn it. Would you not do it, is that what you are saying? Shoot just break it down already I am tired of the riddles. To be honest I have more questions now that I think about it. Like why doesn't mother's father stay in touch, why does Brea have such well hate towards us? I mean she's my aunt and I love my grandfather but it's like because of well I guess my step grandfather. My mother says her father died years before I came along" I stopped when the doors to my brother's house opened and in walked a man who had to be a good 7 1/2 ft tall and smiling at my grandmother Mia.
