Chapter 231

I could hear everything that was said outside between Massimo and Bernardi. I still can’t believe the audacity of this old man to check on Massimo making as if he knows what’s going on in his own country mean time he has no idea. He had no idea about Milan or Napels and now he wants to be angry about the Camorra family the family that help us get out of Milan alive. I had a good mind and get out of the car and give him a piece of my mind, but I will sit in the car like a good girl and say nothing. I heard Bernadi screaming at Massimo “Don’t you dare walk away from me!” and then Massimo got in the car and Luca drove away. “Tonight, it’s just you and me sweetheart.” Massimo said. “Did you just walk away from Bernardi?” “Yes, sweetheart I did. He ruined our first night in Sicily his not ruining another.” “Where to boss?” Luca asked, “How does proper Italian pizza sound Bella?” “Yes please” “Then take us to Sicily Pizzeria and lounge bar Luca.” “Okay boss” We arrived at this cute pizzeria there where seats inside and outside it was ‘n chilly evening but I wanted to sit outside. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do sit at a restaurant in Italy outside watching the people walking by. I’m sure Marco and Luca weren’t happy with my choice of seating, but they had to deal with it. I’m going to enjoy myself especially after today and we are in Sicily what can happen or shouldn’t I put that out in the universe. Massimo ordered orange juice for me and a house beer for him. “I’ve never seen you drink beer before?” “I don’t like the American brand beer Bella I only drink beer when I’m here.” “Looks like there is a lot I don’t know about you yet Massimo.” “You know the important parts of me Bella. Let’s get back to the conversation on the plane Bella.” “What about it?” “You can’t tell me you’ll leave me because you are constantly in danger Bella?” “But there you just said it Massimo I’m constantly in danger. I don’t want to worry about the next few months carrying the babies when the next attack will be and what happens when they are born, they will be in danger then as well.” “Bella you safer with me than without me you will always have my surname and the kids will definitely always have my surname. No matter where you go you will be a target and not to sound nasty, but you knew this before you married me in fact we where under attack when you married me.” “I didn’t know we were under attack Massimo.” “No, you didn’t want to know there is a difference.” I changed the subject to the root of my worries. “Have you decided what you going to do with the Cartel?” “Is that what is worrying you Bella?” “Off course it is Massimo if they didn’t keep their word here with Bernardi why on earth will they keep their word in New York that is bigger and so easy to get lost in all those people?” “I’m not giving them a piece of New York Bella.” It felt like my whole body was deflating all the worries of the past few hours gone. “But it doesn’t mean they won’t make a play for New York without our permission Bella.” “I understand Massimo but at least you are not giving them permission to come and invade our city. They can’t be trusted and today was a very good example of that. What is Bernardi going to say?” “He asked me to keep them out of Italy and that is what I’m busy doing with the help of the Camorra’s so there is nothing he could say.” “And what about Sicily?” “That my dear wife is Bernardi’s problem with the 95 other families that stay and operate in Sicily. Not my problem.” “Thank you, Massimo, Thank you so so much.” “I told you I’ll always do everything in my power to keep you and the babies safe Bella and I am a man of my word if nothing else. Can we change the subject now? I don’t want to think about you leaving me or taking the babies away from me.” “You know the only reason I’ll ever do that is to protect them and myself right?” “Yes, Bella I do, know let’s talk about something else.” “Like?” “Intimacy” I thought this was going to come up on this trip especially after my erotic dreams and he must have seen how I was checking him out this morning. “Yes, what about it?” “I think we should try again and try to take it a step further this time.” “I would love to Massimo, but what happens if I get a panic attack?” “Then I’ll calm you down and we try another day as simple as that. I’m not going to force you Bella I just need our intimacy back I need you back.” “I know Massimo and I’m sorry it’s taking so long.” “No need to be sorry sweetheart we will work on it while we’re here away from New York away from everything.” “Not quite everything Massimo, you are forgetting Bernardi.” “I’ll deal with him Bella you don’t have to give him any thought at all.” “When are we going to try Massimo?” “Eager much sweetheart?” “Very I miss you to Massimo a lot.” “Let’s take it slow and let it happen naturally let’s not force it.” “Okay Massimo.” “Bella I don’t want you in your head about it enjoy your time here and we will find the right moment I promise you. Just relax. In fact I’m going to book you a spa day tomorrow at the hotel for all the massages and facials and whatever else you want. Let’s get you to relax it will be good for the babies as well.” “That sounds like heaven. And where will you be?” “Telling Bernardi my plan.” “I’ll take the spa day over and over rather than sitting in that man’s company again.” “Why don’t you like him sweetheart?” “His creepy, the way he looks at me the way he talks I just don’t like him.” “Then you don’t have to see him again sweetheart. Now are we ready to go to the Hotel.” “Yes, please I’m dead on my feet after today.” “How was the pizza, Bella?” “Delicious we can definitely come back here before we go home.” “I’m glad you enjoyed it.” As we walked back to the SUV’s the same 2 SUV’s that was at the airport approached us again. “Fuck Bernardi again.” Massimo said. Massimo I think Marco must take me back to the Hotel then you can speak to him it doesn’t look like he is going to leave you alone otherwise.” “Okay sweetheart don’t wait up.” “I don’t think I can even if I wanted to.” Marco and Aldo walked me to the SUV. Marco got behind the wheel and Aldo was sitting in the passenger seat. Maybe Massimo can have a relaxing day with me tomorrow or was that wishful thinking?
