Chapter 40
Massimo
I got to the restaurant in a very good mood. Last night went better then I could have dreamed of, yes it was just the tip of everything I can do, but at least Bella enjoyed herself and was in good spirits this morning.
I went to the kitchen to have an espresso with my mom. “Buongiorno Mamma, Come stai? “Buongiorno Massimo” I’m good, how are you?” “On top of the world Mamma.” “Does it have anything to do with your Bella?” “It’s a beautiful morning, mamma and yes I left a very beautiful, brave women in my bed this morning.” “It seems that you are in love Massimo?” That caught me a bit off guard but after thinking on it for a minute, yes, I was in love with Rachel, My Bella. “I guess I am mamma.” “How is the beautiful Rachel, is she feeling better yet?” “She’s getting better each day, you going to see a lot more of her from next week, she’s going to come and work for me as my personnel assistant.” “Oo Massimo I’m so glad you getting someone to help you, you work much to hard.” “No I’m not mamma, where is pappa today?” “He went to get fresh produce.” “Then I’m also going to leave you and get to work. Have a great day Mamma.” I bend down and hugged my mamma “You too Massimo.”
I went to my office and started with e-mails and called Enzo into my office to find out if there are any problems I needed to know about. He ensured me everything was going well. I decided to phone Damon to make sure everything was quiet on his side as well. “Morning Massimo, to what do I owe the pleasure of your call?” Damon answered the phone. “Cazzo di Damon.” “Fuck you to Massimo.” “How are things going Damon?” “Well, I had a very nice tight cunt in my bed last night if that is what you wanted to know.” “You know full well that's not what I wanted to know Damon, seriously, sometimes I think you still in your twenty’s.” “Don’t diss it before you try it Massimo.” “Been there done that, thank you very much. Now, can we get to business, if you don’t mind.” “Always business with you Massimo, where is the fun in that?” “I have fun, thank you very much.” “What do you want to know Massimo?” “I’m just making sure everything is going as it must. Are there any problems I need to know about?” “I haven’t received any info of any problems, except there is a problem with the Ricci’s. Info I received earlier this morning.” “And when where you going to tell me about that Damon?” “I’m telling you know.” While I was getting angrier at Damon I saw I had another call coming in from Marco. I was struggling with myself I knew Marco wouldn’t call if it wasn’t important, but I needed to know what the Ricci’s where up to. “Damon I have another call coming in can you hold for a second?” “Make it quick”
“I’m busy Marco what’s the problem?” “Sorry boss but Rachel is having a panic attack and she can’t breath.” “Shit ok just hold on.” “Damon I’ll phone you later.” He was saying something but I didn’t even listen. “Marco where are you?” “I pick her up and are walking to the apartment.” While I was speaking to Marco I walked to Luca and showed him we need to go. “Okay put the phone on speaker and I’ll try and get through to her.” Marco put me on speaker and I could hear she was struggling to breath. Luca must have heard it to because he didn’t even ask me where we were going. “Bella, can you hear me, breath for me Bella, in through the nose out through the mouth.” “She’s trying boss” “Take her to the apartment Marco but keep your phone on speaker.” I could hear Marco picking her up again and hear him walking, the doorman opened and asked if he could help, Marco made up some excuse. When I heard them enter the lift I started again “Bella please breath in through the nose out through the mouth come on Bella, you can do it, in through the nose out through the mouth.” The next words out of her mouth almost broke me. I heard her whisper “I need you Massimo.” Luca must have heard it to because he started to drive faster. “Boss she passed out.” “Marco lift her legs so it’s above her heart level” “Done boss” “What is she wearing, is it something that is tight fitting?” “Yes boss” “Cuzzo” “Is she still breathing.” “Yes, but very shallow.” “I’m in the lift, I’m almost there.” When I got out of the lift, I ran to the living room and found Bella on the couch with her legs raised as I asked Marco to do. I picked her up and walked with her to the room where I took off her tight fitted running top and I took her running pants off as well. At least it was warm inside. I was sitting next to her holding her hand and speaking to her to breath, just keep on breathing Bella. I heard Luca at the door “Boss should we get the doctor or take her to the hospital?” “No Luca she’s breathing she’ll wake up.” “Okay boss”
Five minutes later she opened her eyes, I know because I timed her and was considering taking her to the hospital. “Bella” “Massimo” she threw herself into my arms and started to cry. “Shhhh Bella your safe I’m here.” I hold her tighter after a while She pulled away “I’m sorry Massimo” “Why are you sorry Bella?” I asked confused “I took you away from work” “Work can wait you are more important” and I realised that on my way when I was shit scared something will happen to my Bella.
“Can I ask what happened Bella? If you ready to talk about it.” “Can I go take a shower first Massimo.” “Off course Bella, I’ll come with you.” “It’s not necessary Massimo.” When she stood up, she was unstable on her feet and swayed a little. “Definitely necessary Bella.” I picked her up and walked to the bathroom. “I can walk Massimo. Wait how did I get to the apartment? ““Marco carried you.” “Did he take my clothes off?” “No Bella that was me, he carried you to the lounge and when I got here, I brought you to the bedroom and took off your clothes, for you to breath easily without restriction. Do you really think I would let my men see you naked?” “No, just making sure.” I put her on the vanity and got undress then I took her into the shower. I washed her and washed her hair massaging her head. “That’s so good” she moaned. When I was done, we walked out of the shower and I dried Bella, then she walked to the closet and put shorts and a T-shirt on. I decided I’ll work from home the rest of the day at put my sweat pants on with a t-shirt. I followed Bella to the kitchen. “Can I get you something Bella?” “I’ll do it Massimo” “No you go sit in the lounge I’ll bring it” “Okay Massimo just a latte” “Coming up sweetheart” I found Bella sitting crossed legs on the couch, I gave her the latte “Thank you Massimo” “My pleasure” I sat next to her drinking my own latte. We sat in silence for ten minutes before Bella spoke.
“Marco and I went for a run, Marco took the lead on our way to Central Park, we crossed the street and I wasn’t sure why we ran on the opposite side of the street. When we came back I wanted to stop at the coffee shop to say hello to Carl we spoke for a while then something felt off with him, so I told Marco we could leave. Then I took the lead and walked the route I always did, when we reached the alley, I was attacked at, I just lost it. I dropped my latte and my chest felt like someone was standing on it and I couldn’t breathe. Now I realised why Marco went to the opposite of the street he was probable afraid of what happened.” “No one could have foreseen what would happen Bella, I think he just took your feelings in consideration. There is absolutely nothing wrong with what you experienced Bella, you went through a dramatic incident and getting a panic attack is normal.” “I thought I was over it, Massimo, I thought I prosed it.” “Bella it’s not that long ago, you still have the physical scares as well, give yourself time, you’ll get there.” “Thank you for coming home Massimo.” “Anything for you Bella.”
“What do you want to do the rest of the day Bella.” “I need a nap Massimo.” “Okay I’ll sit here with you and work.” "Thank you Massimo"
When Bella drifted of, I phoned Damon again.
“You’ve got time for me now asshole?” he answered “Who’s your asshole, dick? Can you tell me what’s going on with the Ricci’s now?” “Just if you have time for me.” Damon said sarcastically.
