Chapter 19
" Why don't we go to an amusement park?" I asked, coming to sit close to Alexander.
It has been a week since Giovanni and I came back home from our honeymoon and things have been wonderful, I moved into his room like I promised, now I don't think I can sleep without him by my side.
We just finished having breakfast and now debating on what to do as a family since it was the weekend. We wanted to go to the movies or shopping but Alexander wasn't having it, we are all trying to come up with something fun to do.
" I have only been to an amusement park once with Carolyn, it's a very fun place," Alexander said.
" Why..., Your Father should have been able to take you there " I asked shocked and turned to look at Giovanni.
He looked away with guilt on his face.
"Oh my God? I can't believe you guys. We are going today and we are going to have tons of fun" I clapped my hands excitedly.
" I know Amusement parks have rides, are we going on them" Alexander asked with equal amount of excitement as mine.
" Of course we will," I chirped. Giovanni chuckled and shook his head at our faces.
" Then I guess, amusement park it is," Giovanni said.
" Yess," Alexander clapped, jumping in excitement as I grinned.

It has been three hours since we got to the amusement park and I was pretty exhausted. Alexander and I were enjoying ourselves as we rode from one ride to another, occasionally dragging Giovanni along.
" Please Gio, one more ride" I pleaded, begging him to let us ride the ferries wheel.
" No, you said that before the last one and the last one before that" he answered.
" Please, one more" I begged alongside Alexander, giving him our best puppy eyes.
" Fine, one more and we are done " Alexander and I did a happy dance, I held Alexander and Giovanni at each side of my hands, dragging them to the direction of the ferries wheel. We waited for our turn, I was still close to Alexander and we both gave a happy scream when the wheel began to move.
" I'm hungry," Alexander said as we stepped out of the Ferries wheel.
" Okay, what do you want to eat? " I asked.
" Can we have hot dogs, please?" Alexander pleaded, pointing to the hotdog stand.
I took Alexander hand in mine and started walking as Giovanni trailed beside me till we got in front of the stand.
I ordered some hotdogs, passing one each to Alexander and Giovanni as we both sat at the bench beside the stand, we laughed as we shared funny stories and took a couple of pictures. All I felt was happy and peaceful being with them, and I wanted it to stay like this forever.

It was Sunday afternoon, Alexander and I decided to bake some cookies since Giovanni was in his study going through some documents. After baking some chocolate chip cookies and letting them cool down, I gave Alexander his share and sent him to the theater room to watch a movie. I put some cookies on a plate and placed them on a tray along with two cups of coffee for Giovanni and I.
When I entered his study to find him concentrating on something in his laptop, I walked towards the desk, placing the tray on it. I gave him a peck on his cheek and sat on the desk beside him, we ate the cookies and drank our coffee in silence.
" Thanks for the cookies"
" Alexander helped, you need to take a break. You have been here since morning" I said worriedly.
" I just need to go through some important documents, your dad will be handing over the CEO position to your brother soon," Giovanni said.
" I'm happy for Ric, I know how hard he worked for it" I said genuinely happy, I made a mental note to visit him this week at the office, it's been a long time since I went to my dad's company.
" Since you're here, I could use a distraction" Giovanni lifted me up to his lap in a way that I was straddling him , he brought his hand up to rest on my thigh and started dragging it up, I took in a sharp breath. He smirked knowing the effect he has on me.
He trailed a kiss along my jawline and moved his lip down my neck. My eyes shot close and I let out a soft moan, I put my hands around his neck. Pushing aside the strap of my dress, he placed soft kisses at my collarbone. I shiver at his touch as his hand caresses my waist. We were so lost in each other that we didn't notice the door open.
" Oh my God!, My virgin eyes" Giovanni groaned , we pulled apart at the voice of Nick. I sprinted off his lap adjusting my dress, blushing profusely in embarrassment at the fact that Nickolas caught us.
" Don't you think you should get a room for what you guys were doing" Nick said teasingly and my face turned red again
" You should know to knock before entering " Giovanni replied clearly not bother about the situation.
" Do you want some cookies" I offered pushing the plate of the cookies toward Nick's direction trying to change the subject
" As much as it seems appealing, eww.no, it was literally close to you guys. I prefer not having any germs" Nick made a disgusted face to which I rolled my eyes at.
" Don't you think you should call before visiting, I thought you were going to Canada" Giovanni countered which earned a dramatic gasp from Nick as he feigned being hurt, putting his hands on his chest.
" Boo, I miss you and as a good friend, I choose to be here with you over Canada. I don't need an invitation to visit " I laughed at his dramatic expression, making Giovanni roll his eyes before letting out a chuckle.
" Then you know this won't be the last time you walk in on a steamy scene." Giovanna said bluntly.
" Gross" Nick frowned and we laughed together.
Nick stayed for dinner. When Alexander saw him, he was so happy. They spent the rest of the evening together bonding, Alexander seemed to like Nick a lot and was sad when he had to leave but promised to come visit some other time since he had a flight to catch...
