Chapter 25
Rachel
When I got home Marco went to his corner, where ever that was and I went to make myself a cappuccino.
I took my cappuccino and went to the terrace, just drinking my cappuccino and looking at the view. I thought back to the brunch with Massimo’s parents and how good it went.
Rossa and Salvadore asked me to call them on their name which is weird for me. For a girl from South Africa we normally call older people aunt or uncle or Mr and Mrs not on their names. But I’m in a new country with other traditions so I’m going with the flow. Rossa told me all about Italy and how she wished she could go back for a visit, Massimo told her she could go anytime but she insisted the restaurant can’t cope without her, his father just laughed, and kissed her on the cheek.
They were so in love after all these years. I was thinking about how I wished that I can find that kind of love. Could I find that with Massimo, or is it too early to think or hope for that? I put my cup down and stretched myself to lie on the coach I pulled the throw over me and closed my eyes, the day was catching up to me.
I woke up with Marco touching my shoulder “Miss Williams Miss Williams, wake up.” “What’s wrong Marco?” I said sitting up. “Mam” “Rachel please Marco, if we going to spend more time together you need to call me on my name.” “Sorry Rachel, you still need to pack and it’s already 5pm.” “Thank you Marco I totally lost track of time this morning just caught up with me.” “No need to explain Rachel”
I got up and went to the bedroom, I want to look beautiful for Massimo tonight. I don’t want him to see the bruised fragile Rachel, I want him to see the strong, beautiful, sexy Rachel. I picked up the phone and dialled Marco’s number he answered on the first ring “Rachel is something wrong?” “No Marco just want to know how long do I have before Massimo gets home.” “Boss will be here at 7pm something came up.” “No problem thanks Marco.” I put the phone down and went to the bathroom filling the bath and putting some bath salts into the water. I have 2 hours and that’s definitely enough time; hopefully I don’t fall asleep in this wonderful bath.
I shaved everywhere and I mean everywhere and washed my hair. I got out of the bath dried myself and started doing my makeup making sure I cover all the bruises I don’t want to see any bruises on my face tonight. Then I started with my hair gave it some volume. ‘This weekend is going to be a sexy one’ I told myself. I put my sexy jeans on with a low cut top, at least the top hides the bruises, and a pair of high sandals. If I must say so myself, I look sexy.
I started to pack some sexy lingerie my bikini but also my one piece the bikini might not be the best option if I want Massimo to forget about the bruises. Some summer dresses, sandals and a sexy black dress, we might just go to a restaurant I don’t want to embarrass him.
I was taking my bag to the door when I heard the lift opening. I stopped and looked up into Massimo’s Hazel brown eyes, those eyes gets me every time.
He stopped and just looked at me. “Bella you look …. I don’t have words, you look gorgeous, sexy as hell.” “Thank you Massimo.” “Come here Bella” I walked into his open arms and he kissed my head. “I missed you today.” He said “I missed you too” I told him.
“Are you ready to go?” he asked. “Yes and excited.” I said with a smile on my face.
“Let me just get rid of this suit then we can go. Come with me” I took his hand and we headed to the bedroom he pulled me with him to the dressing room picket me up and put me on the island in the dressing room. “I’m not letting you out of my sight this weekend.” He said. “Is there a reason why Massimo?” I asked flirty
He came over to me pushed my legs apart and stood in the middle of my legs crushing his lips to mine and devouring my lips like he was starving for me. I must say I was starved for him and hope he will take me the weekend over and over. I kissed him back trying to convey my needs through the kiss. He always smells and taste divine. He pulled away “I should change because if I keep on kissing you, we will never leave.” “I won’t mind if you keep on kissing me like that.” I told him “You’re playing with fire Bella” He walk away and changed into his jeans and a white t-shirt all designer off course. “Come let’s get this weekend started.”
He took my hand and we walked to the door. “Wait Massimo my bags.” “It’s already in the car Bella.” “It must be nice having people doing everything for you.” I said “It is and you will get used to it Bella, because you’re not going anywhere.” I couldn’t go into that statement at the moment so I just went on my tippie toes and kissed him. “Let’s go.”
We got to the garage and there were 3 SUV’s waiting for us. “Why three cars Massimo?” I asked “That’s how we’re be travelling from now on Bella in and out of the city. In the front car will be Ezo and Davide, we will be in the middle with Luca and Marco and the car in the back is Dante and Aldo. I will introduce them to you later.”
“Did something happen at the meeting Massimo?” I asked afraid of the answer. “A lot happened Bella but not something to worry about, we’re just increasing security. I will tell you later, let’s get on the road it’s a 2 hr and 24 min drive to the Hamptons, at least the traffic is not as hectic this time of night.”
We got in the car with Luca and Marco and waited for the first car to pull away then we followed them. Massimo was holding my hand and I was looking out the window looking at the cars we passed and all the people walking around without a care in the world or so it seems. Nobody knows what happens behind closed doors.
I was one of those people walking around in the city thinking nothing bad is going to happen because I was in a new country, new city. A tear rolled down my face Massimo must have seen it. “Why the tears Bella?” “I was just thinking of all the people walking on the sidewalk thinking nothing can happen to them I was one of them and for the past week I thought I will never be able to walk down the street without fear, but you gave me back my freedom Massimo I can walk outside again without feeling scared.”
“How Bella, how did I give you back your freedom, you’ll have someone with you always, if we travel there will be 6 men with us always.”
“Yes Massimo but with or without the men I wouldn’t have gone out for a walk to Central Park or just go to a coffee shop.”
“What changed Bella?”
“You killed him.”
