One year ago,
"Hot lemon and honey, fluffy socks and a warm water bottle for my favourite little girl," Leo said sitting beside me on the sofa. It was a new moon and I was pregnant with twins (not much fun at all).
Three hours later, I was still sat on the concrete floor of the cell completely alone. I had taken to throwing Max's stone up in the air and catching it out of sheer boredom. Staying in here for two months is certain to drive me insane.Fuck you, Luciano.
The boat was quite peaceful after Max had finally shut up and stopped threatening to throw me in the canal. And only then, when I actually had a moment to pause and relax, did I realise how beautiful Venice really is."Here is as far as I can go," the man said after about an hour of gliding along the emerald coloured water.
When I woke, I was back on the cold floor of the cell. I sat up and took in the emptiness of it. No bed, no food, no water and most importantly: no Maximus Megestanis."Where's Max?" I questioned Luciano who I could sense lurking in the darkness.
"Guess who's arriving in half an hour," Luciano said as I slowly regained consciousness. I opened my eyes to see Luciano's feet. I then lifted my head to see his tall body towering over me. His arms were crossed and his face wore a harsh expression."Santa?" I asked, my voice much hoarser than I expected.
"I would like to begin by thanking you, Luciano," Leo started as we entered the large room to see Luciano stood amongst five other men."It was my pleasure. Anything to help out an old friend," he replied smiling at Leo before sending me a devious smirk.
A day later,I was sat in Blair's car as he drove us home from the airport. Leo and I had barely exchanged a single word for the entire flight so he sat in the front as I brooded in the back."Are you going
An hour later, Luca had to leave so it was just Leo, the kids and I snuggled up on the sofa."Daddy, can we play donkeys?" Cato questioned tugging at Leo's hair."Yesss, Daddy pwease pwease pwease," Mathias pleaded.
The next morning,I woke up in the comfort of Leo's arms for the first time in far too long. His bare chest was warm and soft and his scent was lingering on his skin in all its sweet-smelling glory.He was still fast asleep with his lips parted slightly and his hair messy and tousled. I kissed him on the cheek and appreciated the surprising deadly silence of the house.
