Chapter 212
Rachel
When Marco and I got home I went for a jog. It felt so good being outside, it was still cold but it made me feel alive. We jogged to Central Park, for a cold day, the Park was actually busy. Every time I wanted to go faster Marco stopped me, probable good I had someone jogging with me. Taking it slow made me look at the people more and I saw so many women that where pregnant was it because I was pregnant now I am more incline to notice it. For some reason I got a cramp and had to stop. “What’s wrong Rachel?” Marco asked “Cramp, in my leg.” “Maybe it’s the cold, let’s start to walk back.” It took us a while to get back to the penthouse. When we reached the door Marco said “Rachel I will suggest a warm bath and then maybe a warm bag on your leg.” “Thank you Marco, I’ll do that.” I walked straight to the bathroom and got into a warm bath. The heat was definitely helping with the cramp. I got out dressed warmly and went looking for a bean bag I could heat in the microwave. While my bag was heating I made myself something to eat and a coffee. I took my lunch and bean bag to the lounge and a nice warm blanket and made myself cosy on the coach. Just what the doctor ordered. I thought. I put some reality show on I think it was ‘Couple to trouple’ it looked interesting. I watch the first episode and was hooked but my eyes had other plans. I fell a sleep on the coach. I woke up probable a few hours later when Massimo kissed me “Hi sweetheart.” “Massimo” “You look nice and cosy.” “You want to join me?” “I think so, I’m going to shower then I’ll join you.” “Sounds like a plan.” I got up to warm the bean bag again when Massimo saw me limping to the kitchen. “What happened?” “Just a cramp nothing serious.” “I’ll rub it out when I’m done.” “Thank you love.” I walked to the kitchen warmed the bean bag and got us some snacks. Pick nick in the lounge sounded like a plan. I got back under the blanket and started the serious from the start, I wondered if Massimo will watch this. He came out dressed in his PJ’s with some muscle ointment in his hand. “Come let’s fix that leg.” He looked at me when I got up. “You’ll have to drop that pants sweetheart.” “You like saying that right?” “You know me.” I pull my pants down, showed him where the cramp was and he massaged me. It hurt like hell but if it take the cramp away I’ll take it. While he was busy he asked “How was your day?” “It started off sad. It was hard saying bye to my brother, although he was an ass.” “I’m sure it was hard Bella. And the therapist?” “That went okay, she did asked questions like what did I think about when I thought of Anton?” “And what did you say?” “What I couldn’t say was, that I was glad his dead. What I did say, was filthy, stinks and gross.” “I’m sorry Bella.” “For what Massimo?” “That you have to talk about it and tell her how you feel I know it’s not easy for you.” “No it’s not but I need to get over this.” “ Edcardo said if you need someone to talk to that went through the same thing his wife is available.” “That’s nice of her.” “What did she say about me joining for a session?” “She said if it’s okay with me it’s fine with her.” “And how do you feel about it?” “I’m good with the idea of you coming with. But I do have bad news.” “And what is that?” “I asked her how to not freak out on you.” He laughed “And?” “She said I will freak out I went through a very dramatic experience and I’m pregnant so I’m sorry in advance.” “I’m a big boy Bella, I’m sure I can handle it.” “Good. She also said we should talk to each other. I think it is more base on me. I have to tell you how I feel and not think you already know how I’m feeling. She said we need to talk and listen to each other.” “That’s solid advise Bella.” “It is but sometimes I don’t want to tell you exactly how I feel. Sometimes I’m to embarrassed to tell you.” “Bella there is no reason to be embarrass about anything.” “I know Massimo but still my biggest fear is that you don’t want me because I’m damaged and that is the root to all my insecurities.” I look down while saying it. “Bella look at me” I slowly lifted my eyes to his. “You are not damage goods and I will always want you. That I can promise you.” He pulled me to him and gave ma a hug. “I love you Rachel and I will do everything in my power to make you feel it everyday.” “Thank you Massimo.” I pulled away wipe the tear from my eyes and changed the subject. “How was your day?” “My day was good” “How did the other families take the news?” “Let me put it this way I needed to persuade them but they also knew the writing was on the wall and there was nothing we could do except give in and except the ineffable. But there is something else I wanted to talk to you about. An epiphany if you could put it that way.” “Yes I’m listening.” “I’m thinking of getting out of the drug business.” That made me so happy but I didn’t want to say anything. “Why?” “I’m thinking about our children Rachel, what am I going to do if one of them gets hooked on cocaine. What am I going to say, I can’t tell them they can’t or need to go to rehab because that will make me a hypocrite.” “Then what are you going to do Massimo?” “I still have the club, the apartment building the diamonds, the arms deals and I’m thinking of getting into the gold and rare gem business. More apartment buildings and I’m going to buy Ricci’s club.” “Jeez Massimo you really thought about this.” “I’ve been thinking about it for a while now and with the Mexican cartel coming into New York, it just feel like the right time. It’s not going to happen over night it took me long to build up that part of my business but before the twins are 2 I’ll be out of the drug business. What do you think?” “I think that makes me very happy Massimo. I never wanted to say anything because it’s your business but getting rid of the drug part of your business is a very good decision. I’m very sure you’ll make the other businesses just a big of an success.” “If I have more time for them then yes I will.” “You sure about this decision Massimo?” “When I made the decision it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders, so yes Bella I think it’s the right decision.”
