I get out of my bed and groan, stretching my muscles. I walk to my bathroom and take a shower, brush my teeth and get dressed in sweatpants without a shirt
I walk downstairs and I'm whiffed with the smell of food, I groan out forgetting I had a girl living with me now. I find her in the kitchen dancing to a song, mostly her ass.
I smirk as an idea comes up and I walk up to her caging her between me and the island, pressing myself on her ass and she gasps.
"What are you doing?" She stuttered out breathing heavily, you sure do got it with all the ladies Antonio.
I skimmed my nose along her neck and sniffed, Eucalyptus. Nice
"So... you like to watch," I said biting her ear lobe.
"What are you talking about?" She tried to stand straighter and I pushed more onto her ass.
"I saw you watching us last night. Did you perhaps want to join us," I whispered the last part and she shivered.
"You are disgusting! I have a boyfriend!" She spoke out abruptly. I pulled away slowly and she turned around balancing herself on the island. I crossed my arms over my chest and saw her ogling my chest and slowly sucking her bottom lick.
"Is it?" I raised my eyebrow and her eyes snapped at me
"Sorry, what's that?" Always lost in her mind, I rolled my eyes and walked over to her.
"What's his name?" Why am I asking?
"Jake," I stood so close to her that if she stood up straight her boobs would be in contact with my chest. A water droplet fell from my wet hair onto her shirt, "Your hair's wet. You'll get sick," She was looking straight into my eyes.
"Where'd you guys meet?"
"School. Your hair..."
"How serious are you guys?" I took another step forward. If I want to tease her I have to know how serious she is with him.
"Dead serious. Now breakfast?" She put the plate between us and I chuckled taking the plate full of food and sat down
"So has he contacted you yet?" I seriously don't understand why I'm so worried about her welfare.
"Nope. Why do you ask?" Did she seriously just say to me why I asked?
"I just need you to be safe Lotus, who else is going to help with Johan's case?" I changed the topic realising that it was stupid of me.
"Now I know the reason you let me stay here," She smirked, walking away to the fridge, "Can I go out today?" She asked in a small voice while taking a sip of her water.
"Cool, but with who?" I raised my eyebrow when I saw her blush.
"Jake." She said, looking away.
"Your boyfriend?"
"No, he isn't my boyfriend. I just said that so you could give me some space," See, not all the ladies.
I nod my head feeling a sudden change in my mood, I head upstairs and get changed into my suit and grab my bags.
"Where are you going?" She asked me as I came down the stairs.
"Work."
"It's a Sunday."
"I know. Be safe," I walk towards my car but before I get in I hear her mutter something under her breath.
"You're an idiot Lo! Why'd you say Jake's your boyfriend? Flipping idiot!"
I drive to my building and park my car. I walk up to my office and sit down sighing. Why am I angry? I take out the case files with a sigh feeling irritated about what Wood is doing to me.
What the hell could he possibly want from me!?
Time flies so quickly and I've gone through Johan's case a million times and have decided to take it. Lotus had a pretty great understanding of the case and was completely right, I also think he is innocent.
I drove back home and found a car parked there as well. It better not be Wood, I get out of my car and walk to the door carefully checking my surroundings.
I hear some giggling in the house and a manly chuckle, I open the door and my bad mood returns so quickly it feels like it never left. I frown at the people in front of me.
"Hey Ant!" She chirps up waving her hand at me, "This is Jake. Jake, Antonio. My uncle, I told you about," Uncle? Is that the best you can do Lotus?
"Hi, sir," Jake extended his hand to mine and I just stared at it, and him. Lotus must have noticed the tension because she clears her throat and comes to stand next to Jake.
"Your girlfriend is waiting for you in your room," She said gritting out the girlfriend, I smirked at her and walked away going to my bedroom to find Jesse.
"You're back?" I went to take off my suit and came back wearing my sweatpants without a shirt on
"Yeah, why'd you do what you did last week?" She whined and I almost rolled my eyes. Remind me again, why in the world did I ask Jesse out? Because she's a great sub, oh yeah that's right
But the girl has got it in her head that we're dating
"I'm not in the mood for this Jesse, I'm tired," I laid on the bed on my back and she came to straddle my hips. I removed her and put her on the side next to me
"What can I do to make you feel better?" She said in a small voice and I almost gagged, twenty-seven-year-old acting all clingy. Fuck.
"Shut up," I said and it wasn't a suggestion. She folded her arms over her flat chest and pouted, was that supposed to look cute? "You look like you're having a stroke," I closed my eyes and heard her gasp and I smirked internally
She scrambled off the bed and took her stuff slamming my door closed. Thank the heavens! Now to get rid of that Wood and the girl intruding my life.
But you like her. She's okay. She's more than okay and you know it.
Whatever, I closed my eyes allowing the darkness to swallow me whole and into another dreamless night.
So I lost the bet, Johnny the big guy didn't win against the small guy and I was hurt, to say the least. "So are you ready?" Antonio whispered cockily in my ear and I frowned, following Johnny with my eyes, I will get him later. Where in the world has the big guy ever lost against the smaller one! Where!? Nodding my head trying to seem confident yet I was crapping myself, I wasn't ready for anything but a bet is a bet and I will keep my end of the bargain and carry out with the bet, I'm no wimp. "You know, it's okay if you don't want to," he said as we walked together hand in hand. "No!" I shouted and cleared my throat, "I mean I want to," I nodded my head trying to convince him but all I was doing was convincing myself even more. "Okay then, you will love it!" He exclaimed and I pressed my lips together and slowly followed him to our room, "Wait we have to eat." "Yes! Totally agree, I'm starving, I'll go make us food," I rushed to turn around but he caught me by my waist. “Tha
"Good morning Mrs Rossi," a voice whispered in my ear and I pushed his face away from me, mumbling a pained no. "Come on, it's time to wake up." "But I don't want to, leave me alone please," I turned my body away from him and the idiot seemed to follow me. Sticking his wet finger into my ear I jumped out of the bed and looked at him horrified. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I shouted at him and he laughed looking at me. "Come on, you promised to watch them today," he said walking over to me with his arms open for me, walking right into the hug I wrapped my arms around his waist and his hands touched the edge of his shirt before grabbing my ass. "They're not kids Ant, they will be just fine," I mumbled sleepily against his chest and he moved my hands from his waist wrapping them around his neck, picking me up as he walked us into the bathroom. "A promise is a promise Fiore," he said, sitting me down on the countertop as he opened the shower for me. "But there's always next ti
Antonio stood at the altar waiting for his bride to be, officially and right this time to come out. He too couldn't believe that the day had finally arrived and they were both ready to settle down so quickly together and yet surprisingly they were both more than ready for this change. It wasn't really a change considering that they had been living together for a long time and they had already been technically married just without Lotus knowing but now they had to do it in front of everyone this time and with her clear knowledge that it was happening. Antonio stood staring ahead at the door Lotus was supposed to come out of, which she hadn't yet and it made him feel nervous and panicky, that's why he had sent Charlie to go get her and Tiffany. They weren't late per se, but he just wanted to see her and hold her. He heard a noise that sounded like cheering on and he wondered what it was all about, the doors bursting open and causing everyone to look at them, out came Charlie and Tiff

The preparations for this day were stressful and fun at the same time, having my best friend or should I say my sister here to help me was a huge relief! Sitting on the bed together I watched her as she tried to fit her gown but it wouldn't get past her hips. "You have been gaining a lot of weight these days Tiff," I commented paging through the book she brought for me to get back in the mode of reading hardcover books, and so far? Still not interested, which is crazy cause I remember how much I used to love them when I was a kid. Oh well, I guess growing up changes a lot of things. "Yeah, I think I've been eating quite a lot." "Out with it Tiff, you pregnant?" I asked her closing the book and looking at her, her head dropped and she slowly nodded. "Why were you quiet about it?" "I didn't want to seem careless when I told you the news after you had just...you know," she said in a small voice and I frowned. "I'm sorry Lotus, it wasn't even my intention to get-" stopping her with a
After months of having to attend therapy sessions, eleven torturous months of sitting in front of Dr Meyer and telling her all about my problems and how I feel, it has been absolute hell and I am very happy that this is my last session with her. At first, I never opened up about anything and would always fire back her questions to her, for example, she would ask me 'how do you feel about that?' and I would answer her with a 'how do you think I feel about that?' I know she is here to help me get over my guilt and try to understand my emotions a bit better but come on, even you have to admit that some of the questions are a bit retarded. "So Lotus, how do you feel about this being our last session together?" "Uh, am I supposed to feel some type of way?" I asked her, does she want me to be sad and weeping that I won't be seeing her anymore and I won't have to answer questions and have her prove a point to me that would bug me out for a whole week until I see her. "It's all up to you
