Chapter 13
Since Alexander and I are tired of watching movies, we decided to play a game.
" So, what do you want to do" I asked Alexander.
" Can we play tags" he replied and at that moment Giovanni came to view.
" What are you guys doing since you're done with your movie marathon" Giovanni asked curiously.
" We about to play tag dad" Alexander answered.
" So who's going first" I asked them.
" Me, me" Alexander exclaimed.
" Okay Alex, let's start the count" Giovanni said like he was talking to a soldier.
Alexander covers his eyes with his tiny hands and started counting. Giovanni rushes off to God knows where. I hated the fact that Giovanni had an head start before me.
Damn my competitive spirit.
I searched around looking for a place to hide but couldn't find a proper place to hide in the living room. I ran upstairs to the side of the house I hadn't explore yet. I found a door which lead to a library that I didn't know existed.
I tried opening the door and closing as quite as possible. I gently walked in trying not to make any sound but ended up tripping landing on something hard. I raised my head up and I was met with the bluest eyes of the only person that can make my heart flutter.
I tried getting up but Giovanni flipped us over so that I was laying down on my back while he hover around me, his hands on both of my sides.
How the hell did this happen.
Oh.. wait, I freaking fell on him. Why did he have hide here?.
With the rate my heart was pounding, it's a surprise that I don't have an heart attack yet. His face was so close to mine, our lips only inches away. I bit my lips when I realized our close proximity, we kept on looking at each other like we were in a trance.
His gaze went to my lips that I was biting on and connected back to my eyes. We were so close to each other but stayed right where we were, non of us daring to move. I looked away trying to hide the blush on my face but it seems to draw his attention more, our breath slowed down and suddenly his lips locks with mine.
I shot my eyes as his tongue enters my mouth, exploring. I moved my tongue against his, kissing him back passionately and my hands circle round his neck drawing him more closer to me if possible.
" Mom, Dad" I heard Alexander faint voice.
We abruptly pulled apart, our eyes widen. We both tried moving at the same time which resulted to our heads colliding. Not having time to dwell in the pain, we both ran out of the library to the hallway following the sound of Alexander's voice.
" Where have you been" Alexander asked his brows furrow. " I have been looking for the two of you"
" We were at the library" Giovanni answered since I was to overwhelmed to answer.
" Oh..., I guess you both win " Alexander cutely mumbled " I'm hungry"
" About that, why don't we order in pizza, Carolyn won't be around for a while because of a family problem." Giovanni suggested .
After the pizza arrived, we all ate and called it a night not before making sure Alexander had freshened up and ready for bed. I went to my room to freshen up then plopped down on my bed as I drifted off to sleep quicker than I usually do due to exhaustion.
****
It has been about a month since my library encounter with Giovanni and things between the both of us has been steady.
Well, if you count his sneaky sexual remarks. Apart from that, you could say we have become more closer than before. Some days we have our breakfast and dinner together and some days he leaves early to work or arrives home late.
Vicki and I made plans to see today since she was back from her romantic getaway with her so called "mysterious boyfriend", Alexander was in school and Giovanni had gone to the office.
Alfred drove me to the mall where Vicki was waiting, we were so excited as we step into the mall. Looking at the infrastructure of the mall, it was magnificent. We literally bought any clothes that caught our eyes and some Victoria secret lingerie which was Vicki's idea.
After our shopping escaped, we went to MacDonald because I love cheeseburgers and i was starving like hell.
" men, I'm so hungry. I'm going to place our order while you find a sit for us." Vicki said. I looked for a sit close to the window waiting for her to return with our food.
" So tell me, how are things between you and Giovanni" Vicki asked curiously.
" It's been great, I never expected for things to turn out this good" I tell her sincerely.
" Come on, give me something juicy. Have you guys done the deed yet " she raised her eyebrows in a teasing manner.
" Vicki" I looked at her baffled, my face turn deep red, I turn to look around making sure no one heard her. " No we haven't done the deed yet." I whispered back at her.
" What the hell are you waiting for, you've got yourself a sexy drop dead Greek god" she gushed.
" Enough about me, tell me about your mysterious boyfriend" I said changing the subject and I was also curious about the guy.
" Come on Vicki, I'm your friend and I deserve to know who makes you happy. Don't take away my right to threaten him in case he hurts you."
" I promise to tell you when I'm ready. I just don't want you to be disappointed in me " she said softly in a low voice.
" I would never be disappointed in you." I sighed, I was not going to push her for more information until she was ready to tell me. After eating, we said our goodbyes and went
our separate ways promising to talk to each other later that day.
