Chapter 17Tara“Okay fine ill dance for you now can we please go.” Those are the last words I say before he hops his tall ass out the seat, then heads over to the register to pay for our meal that had been over an hour ago.Now I was basically dumbstruck by this man yet again as we stand in line for the Ferris wheel at the Jane Addams memorial park.“Gio what are we doing here?”“I remember you telling Evet how you wanted to come here on a date once. So, I thought we could do this for our first official date.”“I don’t know what to say Gio this is really sweet. Nobody’s ever done something this sweet for me before.”“This is nothing, come on.” He says smirking then taking my hand as we move forward to step into the bucket seat of the Ferris wheel.” I watch as the wheel rises and were lifted in the air slowly.“I forgot how beautiful it was up here.” I say absent mindedly watch the city below us as the warm July air brushes my face blowing my hair around my head.
Chapter 18TaraThe next couple of days flew by just like that me waking up in bed alone after night of earth-shattering sex only to have him interrupt me in the shower. Until finally it was the day of the wedding rehearsal. I carefully kneel to search under the bed for the four-inch heels as Gio comes into the room. “If you don’t get off your knees like that, I’m gonna slip that cute little dress of yours up and we’ll be skipping the rehearsal sweetheart.”“You better not.” I say quickly turning my back towards the nightstand. After spending almost, a week with him I knew better than to think he was making an idol threat. I learned that showers weren’t his only weakness. He caught me off guard one night leaning over the couch in nothing but his oversized shirt. While searching for my lost pen while I was working on my new pitch for the administrator for the Chicago city local schools to get assistance with transportation for UFCP. I hadn’t had so much as a warning when he yanked up
“Whatever AJ not everybody was born in damn heels ok you been filling yourself a little too damn much since Mr. Shadow started sliding in them dm’s and them draws. Let’s not forget before he was pinning your ass down you were shopping at Rue 21 right alongside me bitch.”“Girl the gag is you out her clacking away in those orphan Annie Mary Janes like you didn’t know better. Don’t be mad at me because I didn’t major in basic bitch one oh one.”“Ok… ok… your both pretty. Now cut it out before one of Gio’s aunties comes over here and puts us all in time out.” I say interrupting them from their usual back and forth.“Speaking of which, it looks like you’re fitting in well with Mr. billionaire’s family. I haven’t seen a single pearl clutched yet over your shot gun wedding.” AJ says.“They’ve all been pretty welcoming; all things considered.” I say wearily.“You mean considering that you suddenly went from secret girlfriend to instant bride overnight.” Evet says sarcastically. “I already ap
Chapter 19GioI sit at the now empty table baffled by the sight of Tara, AJ, Evet, Carla, Steph, Antoinette and Angie running out of the hotel restaurant. After Evet made her very drunk announcement of their departure to get drunk and see dicks at Tara’s bachelorette party. Feeling torn between amusement at the embarrassing scene and furious at overhearing my soon to be wife brush off the idea of having children with me to my Uncle Antonio.It wasn’t the first time tonight that the question was brought up and I could understand her unwillingness to discuss something so important with my uncle. True enough she hadn’t said anything wrong about wanting to wait until we were further along in our marriage to discuss children quite yet. But something about her dismissive behavior toward the thought pissed me off. It had bugged the hell out of me that she seemed so unwilling to talk about kids when Frankie brought it up.The rational part of my brain told me that it was only normal she was
Chapter 20TaraTwo hours after fleeing my rehearsal dinner I was sitting in a dark club VIP section covered in flashing dick necklaces, bracelets leighs and a bride to be sash and matching tiara. Feeling way to damn good after chugging down two large fishbowls of ocean breeze. Watching as AJ and Evet sandwich the very built, glistening, and hung half naked fire man. Meanwhile Carla’s in the back corner laid across a large red chase lounge.With her legs in the air as a sexy ass oiled downed police officer leans over her working his hips like a damn porn star. Which was mild compared to the Tarzan guy who had his head under Steph’s skirt for a suspiciously long time. Or the guy in the toga who was grinding in Antoinette’s face as he lifts his skirt and shoves his hand in his waist band. But the funniest of all was Angie who obviously had way too much to drink because she literally keeps challenging the dude in the elephant trunk G-string to a twerk battle. My face is sore by the time
Chapter 21TaraThe wedding seemed to go by in a blur, the warm July air was thick with the scent calla lilies, the sound of joyous music and booming laughter filling the air. The beautiful sprig themed wedding in complimented my dress perfectly. I was completely blown away by the custom-built cherry blossoms trees that were created to bloom as the petals slowly fell from the faux branches as the bridal party marched down the aisle. It was like something from a live action fairy tale, and it was beyond what I ever imagined my wedding day would be.But it was the look on Gio’s face when I met him at the alter as he lifted my veil that made it seem even more unreal. But when he kissed me with a heat so intense and passionate it rivaled the blistering summer heat outside. That I barely remembered where I was before I heard the AJ shout in the background.“I know you better stop kissing her like that before you blow the AC out, baby girl gone melt with all that heat.” Which sends the enti
Chapter 22TaraGio never says another word as we eat in silence and stayed that way through the entire ride to the vineyard. The silence spoke volumes as we followed the tour guide through the fields of the vineyard as they named the different types of grapes and wines they made. My mind was racing as I wondered what was running through his, It was beyond unnerving as I watched him interact with the other couples on the tour. He never said a word to me as I silently followed alongside him as we navigated the large fields. I was finished with him giving me the silent treatment if he was upset the least, he could do was say something. Deciding I finally had enough I stopped in my tracks and waited for him to notice I was no longer following beside him. It hadn’t taken very long as he abruptly stopped then closed the distance between us still refusing to speak as he gave me a quick once over. “Gio what is the matter with you?”“Funny I was wondering the same thing about you.”“What is t
Chapter 23GioI fucked up; I knew it the moment I opened my fucking mouth to accuse her of cheating on me. But I couldn’t fucking help it; the minute I saw that damn stripper sitting at the table next to her in that damn dress that put her breast hips and thighs on full display, I lost all sense of reason. I had tried to stay calm as I made my way over to them and caught the fucking idiot practically drooling over her before I sat down beside her. Sure, I saw the look of relief or was it guilt when she saw me standing behind the man, I couldn’t be sure at first. All I knew was that the bastard had his eyes on my wife, and I was fucking seething. I knew the minute that I sat down beside her, and she physically relaxed into me as I wrapped my arm around her waist that she wasn’t unhappy I was here at least that much was clear. But when the fucker had the nerve to lie about where they met, and she turned those big brown eyes on me to defend his fucking happy coincidence story right bef
