Riley peeked out of the plane window. The sky was vast and was clear blue. The land was very far from her reach. The silence that was crept in the first class of the plane made her think about a lot of things. She thought about her life in Italy for the past 3 months she has been back at home. It was an experience filled with nice and not so nice things, mostly the latter. She was at home but it didn’t feel like home. She was with her parents and brother, but it didn’t feel like family. She met with her childhood friends but she didn’t feel the connection. She felt like she had been taken to a different world. All the things she had seen and was familiar for most of her life felt so very foreign to her now.Th
Michael was up today even before his mother could make an effort to wake him up. He had showered and well dressed and styled his hair perfectly. He grabbed his packed luggage and exited his room.“He is up and showered today without you waking him up,” Michael’s father, Jonathan said when he noticed his son walking downstairs.“It’s Jordan’s wedding tomorrow. He is traveling. That is why,” Michael’s mother, Sarah reasoned.
As Michael drove towards the hotel that was booked for the guests, he noticed an empty stage near the beach. For someone who didn’t want to get married early, Jordan surely had plans for it. Tomorrow by this time, his best friend would be already married, where the empty stage will be grandly decorated and all the family members and guests will be present. Michael couldn’t believe it, it felt surreal with every passing moment.He parked his vehicle and got out with his luggage and walked towards the reception area.“Good morning, sir,” greeted the receptionist with a br
Michael woke up feeling good. He had behaved pretty decently in the small party that was held for Adrian last night. It was supposed to be just Adrian and Matthew’s friends, but the list was extended to himself, Ace, Harley, and Adrian’s father, and Michael’s father, Jonathan.Michael’s parents had arrived late in the evening yesterday and as promised Michael’s mom, Sarah had dragged her husband along with her. They arrived with a marvelous gift for Jordan.Michael had had a quite good time at the party. He had plenty of talks with
Riley was fast asleep even if the plane had landed and passengers were exiting. A flight attendant walked to Riley’s seat when she noticed her not moving at all. As much as the flight attendant did not want to disturb her sleep, but she had to. She shook Riley on her shoulder, “Ma’am... Ma’am..” Riley groaned without opening her eyes. “Ma’am the flight has landed.”Now, that was what she had to hear to open her eyes wide and look around her surrounding to see if they have really landed. She turned back to the flight attendant and smiled sheepishly, “I am really sorry. I dozed off and didn’t realize about the landing.”
“Are you ready, Jordan?” Elena, Jordan’s mother stopped half way from entering into the bride’s room. The scene in front of her was heart warming.“Omg… Riley.” Elena went and gave a hug to Riley. And they spoke about the well being of both of them.“You should get ready soon. The wedding is about to begin,” Elena said to Riley. It was then that Riley realized she was still in her airport clothes.
Last night’s long talk and the warm kiss has made something to both Riley and Michael. It was evident that Michael wanted to express more in words but chose to relay his feelings through the kiss. And he was not sure if Riley had caught it or not. After the kiss, they had silently walked back to the hotel and Michael had left her to sleep alone in his room and he had invaded into his next room neighbor, Matthew.Although Matthew pretended to be a little annoyed about Michael sleeping in his room, he had a good time with Michael. They had talked about a lot of things including girls. Michael had not shied away from asking Matthew about how to make someone, a girl particularly understands and wait for you.
Riley boarded the flight and settled in her seat. She was not that long from going back to Italy. Anyone would be happy to go to their native, their home. But not Riley. Her life in Italy is not just like any normal person. Riley Bianchi is the only daughter of the Italian mafia don, Alessandro Bianchi. She always had bodyguards tailing her and she was never allowed to go out of the house without a minimum of two bodyguards following her, everywhere she goes. That did not make her feel treasured, she rather felt like she was being held captive, like a criminal.She did not even want to think about the home until she reached Italy. She tried to get some sleep. She had not slept well last night. She simply could not wrap things in her head. She could not stop thinking about Michael and the kiss they had shared on the beach shore.Riley had woken up just before a few minutes of arriving at Rome-Fiumicino International Airport. She did not have to carry her luggage or hail a
4 years laterThe mansion was lit up with bright and colorful lights. And was decorated with all the kids’ friendly things. Several cars were coming inside the gate one by one. It was Whitaker’s house.Aaron got off the car and helped his sister, Amity get off. He was 10 years old now and his sister was 4. They were not super close siblings but they did share a cute sibling bond. Upon Adrian’s over pamper, Amity got her way through with almost everything. Despite groaning and complaining, Aaron still loved his little sister and did anything and everything for her.
It was the weekend and everyone, Adrian and Jordan’s family, Michael and Riley’s family were gathered at Michael’s house. It was more like Michael had invited everyone to speak about something important. Everyone’s first thoughts were him and Riley getting together but was also curious to know it from him.Aaron was playing with a videogame while the elders were busy looking at the little princess, Amity Marcel. She was one month old and had relatively grown a little since her birth. Now, she was able to recognize people by their faces. And she could coo louder than before which had effects on everyone, especially her father. Adrian was totally smitten by his daughter. He was always by her side. He had even
A month laterRiley found herself vomiting excessively and on regular basis. At first, she thought that she was having a bug. But when it continued for weeks, she was scared. Her mother had noticed this but had refrained from saying anything.Again, this morning, Riley was vomiting when Giorgia came to her room. She helped her daughter to clean up and then lie down on the bed.“I think you should visit a doctor. This is going extreme,” Gi
A few days laterJordan wakes up groaning with pain. She feels wet down there, a different kind of wet. She held onto her baby bump and called her husband’s name who was fast asleep.“Adrian, Adrian,” her voice was pretty hoarse. She shook his shoulder and called again with a louder voice, “Adrian.”He opened his eyes, “What happened sweetheart?”“My... ““What is it, J? You are scaring me,” by now, he had got up and sat at her side.“My water broke,” she whispered. Adrian got into action immediately, he got of
Riley spent the night mostly thinking about her father’s words about moving back to Italy. Did she really want to go back? That was all she thought throughout the night. She tossed and turned around in the bed continuously and barely got 5 hours of sleep.She was getting ready in her room while also hearing her parents bicker about what to wear and where all to go. Earlier, when she was having her morning coffee, her parents informed her that they were going for a date and she should not call them and disturb them. She had snorted as a reaction. Her parents were going out on a proper date probably for the first time in their entire relationship. She replied to them, “Fine, go on. I will go on a date by myself.”
After their intense love making in the car, Michael and Riley get dressed and get into the front seats. He drives towards her house.“How are you feeling?” He asked out of nowhere.She turned to him with a confused expression written on her face, “About what?”“About going to home being freshly fucked,” he smirked knowing that Riley would be giving him a disgusting look. She hits him on his chest and turn to look out of the window. And she actually thought about how she was feeling going home after freshly fucked by Michael. The crimson shade that was spread all over her face gave it away to Michael, who was secretly taking glances at her and hoped that she would think about what she felt.Michael laughed pretty loudly making Riley groan, “Stop it, Michael. I will kill you.”“That’s my girl,” he said and leaned closer to her and captured her lips in a deep kiss before getting back to the driver’s seat. Riley was beyond shocked to hear him say that
The baby shower was almost done and Michael’s parents bid bye and left. Michael had noticed Riley’s dress and her sexy neck that was driving him crazy. It was almost evening and he had some work to take care so he walked to her and said, “Shall we leave now?”Riley was talking to Jordan about the baby delivery and how anxious Jordan was feeling. Michael noticed the look on Jordan's face, “What happened sweetheart?” He asked her.“I am scared about the baby delivery, Mikey. I don’t know what to do,” she said worriedly.“Don’t worry, Jordan. We are all here to help with the baby. But I cannot take the pain you have to go through for the child birth. But I promise we will male sure you are cared well after that. Don’t worry.” He kissed her forehead. Jordan nodded her head in understanding and opened her arms for a hug. Michael smiled and hugged her, he rubbed her back, trying to soothe her.“What’s happening here?” Adrian came into the scene.Michael leane
The day of baby shower had rolled in quickly. Riley stood in front of her mirror while wearing the light purple dress which Sarah had brought for her when they had been to shopping. She had applied light makeup and had her hair tied into a ponytail. She even remembered Michael’s distraction comment on her hair the other day. But did not care about it. Perhaps, she wanted to distract and tease him a little.Giorgia and Alessandro were already ready and was waiting for Riley to come out of her room.Riley’s sprayed a little perfume and took one last look of her appearance in the mirror and walked outside.“Wow… that dress looks good on you,” Giorgia said when she saw her daughter coming out of the room.Riley smiled, “Thanks, Michael’s mom bought it for me.”Alessandro raised his brows and repeated his daughter’s words, “Michael’s mom brought it for you.”“Yes, now come on, we don’t wanna be late,” she hurried her parents out of the house. For the f
Riley stirred in her sleep when the sunlight dropped on her skin through the window. She was way too comfortable to open her sleep. She smuggled closer and hugged. That was when she felt the strong body next to her. She opened her eyes and looked at her bed. She was laying on Michael’s chest and he had his hand gripped tightly around her waist and their legs tangled. They were laying on her bed, naked and the duvet barely covering any of their body parts.She tried to move away from him, but suddenly felt a sting of pain in between her legs. Last night’s activities had worn her out. He had made love to her multiple times and made her scream his name, her lungs out. She had no energy to even get out of the bed. She turned to Michael and he was asleep peacefully. Does he still love me? Would he take her back if she makes a move on him? Do I even deserve him? Thoughts ram inside her mind widely.She shook her head as if thoughts would run away. She slowly and silently, trie
