Impossible love 31
By Maxieplus
Gianni was in a mood when I got in, he and the boys were sitting on the walkway so I grabbed a glass.
"What took you so long Antonio?" I know that tone.
"I was talking to Nina for a while and I had a wine with her."
"You did not go into the park?"
"No Gianni but I can next time if you want me to."
"Good I know you are not lying by your eyes." He kissed me.
"And he's just got back from watching you run past the park, Antonio." Leon laughed so much Carlos hit him.
"So you were waiting for me at the park?"
"Yes, Antonio I thought you might have taken a break in your marriage to me and shoved your dick through the hole." It felt so good that he was a little jealous, but he must have run fast to get back here before me.
"I came up the back stairs just in time." He giggled like a naughty little boy.
"Thank you for seeing me home safely Gianni." I kissed him.
"Antonio I have a hole that needs plugging too."
"Goodnight boys no sleepovers tonight, Gianni drink up."
I rushed inside checked Lukas out and was up to the hilt inside Gianni within minutes, no foreplay tonight, and I took my time too.
That awesome ass taunted me as he walked around in the morning nude. His body is awesome and his shape is so bloody sculptured to perfection, his chest moved as his arm scratched the other one and I wanted so much to nipple suck him they were outstanding. He knew that's what I wanted to do because he kept scratching them while he fed Lukas his baby food. I went into the bedroom and found a bag then put all the cash in it I could find on my shelf. I then emptied it onto the table and started tallying it up.
"What do you need money for Antonio?"
"I was just checking how much I had stashed Gianni, can you pay me your half of the Casino event in cash?"
"No Antonio, I cant."
I looked him in the eye and shrugged.
"No matter, take your time."
"I will pay for all the event Antonio, you do not pay for anything concerning our café."
"But it benefits the both of us."
"Do I get half of your florist shop and warehouse sales?"
"Umm no, but you can if you want."
"No Antonio I think we should keep the business separate, less tax, and much fewer arguments over what blooms you should keep. I will give you the full amount in cash thank you."
"Okay Gianni, keep your shirt on." He laughed.
"Antonio, I haven't got a shirt on."
I got up it was all too much for me I had to dive onto at least one nipple and suck on it.
We were late for work because it was Gianni's turn to check my glory hole out.
Alice had Lukas within seconds of us arriving, my ass was throbbing and Tommaso had his tiny black stretch shorts on and I couldn't even rise for the occasion, but I can tell you the bulge was outstanding. We got customers early and when the boys arrived I was stunned into silence, they had their shorts and tanks on then started serving wines and tables. They didn't say much only that Federico said they could have a day off so they thought they might like to help us for the day.
They are being too professional and I think something is up, the customers liked them at least. Carlos yelped a few times when he served out the front and Leon charmed the pants off a lady who was buying a box of wine, he even carried it out to her car. I looked out the back and no wine bucket I guess they are having a day off.
Nina and Sabine came by and Sabine apologized for her behavior last night she's usually on the ball but the boys distracted her then laced her drinks.
"And why are you two here today no dress shops to sweep out or washing to do?" I said with a smile on my face.
"My grandson please Antonio." She held her arms out and I went to get Lukas. She was happy for the moment and Lukas was double happy because he loves his Nona.
I slipped Nina one fifty and she will slip me a receipt when she finds time.
"There will be more after I go to the bank," I whispered.
"Thank you, Antonio this will save me a lot in tax." She winked.
"And me with mine." I winked back.
Tommaso bought their coffee out and believe me Sabine and Nina's eyes were everywhere, his smile is divine and when he walked back to his coffee machine, Nina placed two fingers to her mouth and let out a mighty wolf whistle, so unladylike.
"Have you nearly finished with what you're doing for the wine event, Nina?"
"No Antonio, we haven't started yet, so much to do, and you?"
"All done baby, now all I have to do is wait for Gianni's wines to arrive."
"That quick, what the hell are you doing, it couldn't be much."
"Au Contraire, Mademoiselle, our display is a special kind of magic it blends in with the Gianni brand perfectly."
"What are you up to Antonio, and don't give me this mademoiselle business, I know you're up to something." She squinted her eyes.
"I'm not up to anything Nina, only that I am all finished and moving onto the next event."
"What next event?"
"Ahhh, that will be revealed soon, but I'm sure the boys are on top of it." I walked away to let them have their coffee in peace, but I did see a couple of worried looks on the boy's faces ten minutes later. I think that got them back into gear because the ice bucket appeared with the opened wine bottle accessory, and two confused boys were on their phones, ringing around some contacts I suppose.
Gianni as usual was standing up in the back watching everything and everyone, he knows something is up but I don't think he's worked it out yet. I will tell him when I have secured the rooftop because then we have to talk about building up there.
He grabbed a bottle of wine and three glasses then went to sit with the ladies and his son who he grabbed immediately off Sabine, which will give her a break. I served up the cakes and filled the display cabinet hopefully some more will arrive in the next day or two, it's getting a little low again. Alice was looking at her watch by the florist shop door, it will be Lukas's nap time soon and she's aching to grab him off Gianni.
Angelo is having the afternoon off to go look for his new van and Tommaso was very confident taking over his job. It was getting quite noisy as I served someone that wanted wine, you can always tell it's close to lunchtime the wine was being served and the tables were full. The boys kept coming out to see if we needed a hand and when I caught them I told them to help wait on the tables the girls were flat out. Lukas was whisked away by Alice and Gianni was talking to Stavros at his table, I notice he took an envelope out of his backpack and then with stealth slipped it to Nina. This is not happening, no not on my watch so I grabbed a glass and walked out to their table.
"Give it back."
"Give what back," Nina said.
"The money, give it back to Gianni, this is not his business."
They all stared at me and Gianni started laughing.
"Your so funny Antonio, are you mad or something?"
"Yes I want to do this for my family I don't need your help with this, I got it covered."
I wasn't mad, but I wish he had talked to me before he poked his nose in my business.
"Do what Antonio?" That dumb look was back on his face.
"Pay for half of the rooftop, I wanted to do it for my family I don't need your help but maybe I will when we start building."
"Whatever are you talking about Antonio?" Nina started laughing her head off and added.
"Well so much for that little secret Antonio, I think you just outed us."
"What do you mean?" I gave her a fierce look.
She dived into her oversized handbag and retrieved the envelope.
"Are you talking about my girl's wages, Antonio?" I froze, and yes I have let the cat out of the bag.
"Sorry."
"What rooftop and what house Antonio?" Gianni said.
"I don't know what you're talking about Gianni, go and do some work you have customers."
"No, I don't, Antonio what rooftop?"
"Not saying anything." I took my beetroot red face back inside and found the boys out the back again so I started waiting on tables. I could feel three sets of eyes on me and then I heard Stavros's table laughing followed by Gianni's.
"You're so funny Antonio, I love you so much."
"Do some work."
I sat out the back and had a wine with my boys.
"Nina was saying you have finished designing your display, Antonio." Good a change of subject.
"Yes, I have it all done Leon, why, aren't you finished yet?" I knew bloody well they weren't.
"Please tell us, Antonio?"
"It's finished that's all you need to know."
"But we might be able to help." He's whining again but in reality, he only wants to know what we are doing.
"What rooftop?" Gianni poked his head in. Why does this keep happening to me, I have no secrets no quiet time, or downtime for myself to do what I want.
"Nina owns the rooftop at the apartment building she's agreed to sell it to us, I paid the deposit to her earlier. I thought she had told you and you gave her half that's all."
"So why don't you want to tell me?"
"I wanted to buy it for my family, I don't need your money Gianni I just wanted to do something special for us that's all, a surprise gift."
"Antonio, that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me, and I am sorry I spoiled your surprise, that's awesome if we can build up there."
"Well she gave me some plans too they might want an update but at first look, it will be amazing."
"We will look at them when we get home Antonio, and thank you for being you." He leaned in and kissed me deeply the boys groaned.
"A new house Antonio that's very pleasing it will go nicely with your new Combi van," Leon said with his poison tongue.
I stared intensely at Gianni, he all of a sudden caught up with what Leon had said and slowly tried to creep out of my sight.
"Gianni Cartasso get back in here." Now I was angry but he did what he was told.
"When we get home I am going to pull your shorts down and give you a good hard spanking, I am then going to shove my dick so far down your throat it will touch your liver and then I will shaft you long and hard so you can't eat for a week. Keep your mouth shut, it's our business, not theirs!" I nearly screamed then I looked at the boys and Carlos was nearly in tears.
"Can you do us also Antonio, we have been bad boys too." I threw my arms in the air.
"I fucking give up with this family I really do." I grabbed the bottle and my glass and went to sit out the front I didn't sit with the girls I sat with Stavros and his mates.
"Deal me in." I slammed twenty dollars on the table.
They started laughing because they know I can't play cards for shit, but I am going to learn.
I had a great time with the old guys and Stavros was being very patient with me as I sipped my wine. I didn't win any hand but I did have a good time.
"I believe you outsmarted me last night Antonio."
"How's that Stavros?"
"You bought Nina's nice piece of real estate, your grandfather would be proud you outsmarted me." I stared at him and said.
"He taught me well Stavros, and I'm coming for this market when you're ready to sell." I grinned a very evil grin, he laughed.
I got the plans out and we both looked them over when we got home, Lukas was playing at moving from one piece of furniture to the next, he was making his way over to us.
With one eye on him and one on the plans we decided that they were perfect, except the kitchen and bathrooms will be modernized and the big windows leading onto a barbeque area gave us a magnificent view, so they will stay. He took my hand after he poured me a drink, and with his other hand, he moved my face to his and said.
"Let me pay for half of everything Antonio, that's what families do, don't they?"
"But I wanted to do this for you and Lukas Gianni, if you go me halves then it will feel like we have done business and I don't want our first house to feel like it was just an investment."
"You talk silly sometimes Antonio, and what do I feel? Will I feel like it is mine also or do I pay you the rent, so I can stay with you and Lukas there."
"I am sorry I wasn't thinking straight I just wanted to buy something for both of us, a surprise maybe, I don't know what I was thinking. Of course, you can go halves."
"I'm not and neither are you, Mama and papa are buying it and paying for the house it will be the family's wedding present for us Antonio. Ramone has insisted he and Sabine do that, he has spoken there won't be any arguments." As I said I am over keeping secrets so I kissed him deeply then he handed my money back to me.
"I am sorry." He kissed me again, and my brain caved in because I wanted to stay in that moment forever.
"Are you feeling better Antonio?"
"Yes thank you, Gianni it's just that I can never keep a secret from anyone."
"Why would you even try my love, we have no secrets from each other that is very important to all us. A family is a family in all things that is why when Luca was very sick we coped a little better because we had no secrets amongst us."
"I see what you mean Gianni and I am sorry I was very excited to do this for you and Lukas."
"Are you still excited Antonio?" His thumb was flicking my knob through my shorts.
"Very Gianni, very excited."
"Then let me fix that for you." He slipped down onto the floor and my shorts fell below my ankles, god I love a good deep-throating.
I felt little hands slap my leg, he made it across the room with a little help from the sofa a coffee table a lamp then four steps to my chair. His laughing was disturbing my moment with Gianni so I picked him up and slobbered all over him with kisses.
"Antonio?"
"Sorry Gianni, keep going I'm nearly there" I placed Lukas back on the floor and he started going back from where he came from, I spread my legs and was open for business.
After he cleaned us both up he sat down again and held my hand and said.
"Can I fuck you tonight?"
"Yes."
"Good because I need to be inside you Antonio, there is no other way to show you how much I love you." I was putty in his hands.
"Have you finished yet Antonio?' A head poked through the curtains.
"Yes Leon, come in."
They were near-naked and wanted me to spank them too so I laughed as I got up and headed to the shower while Gianni berated them for disturbing our moment together.
We were ready and armed with wine then went down to see Gino after the boys dressed. He was on his own tonight, and Anna was over at her parent's place but hanging out to be with him, I believe from what he was saying.
"My sex life is back Ant, she can't get enough I guess being pregnant highlights everything."
"I guess it would, all sorts of things happen down here when the body changes," I answered.
"Where's Alice tonight?"
"She's at bingo with her ladies tonight," Gino said.
"Sad she will miss out on her drinks."
"She won't Ant, they drink at the club too you know." He smiled.
"Antonio, can we look at the plans for you please?' Leon asked.
"Of course you can they are on the table just take them anytime."
"What plans?" Gino's ears pricked up.
"Antonio has bought the rooftop property, Gino, he's going to build me a magnificent home up there."
"What?"
"You know the caretaker's property that's on the rooftop, I bought it."
"That old shed you can't do anything with that."
"I can because the title to that shed includes the whole roof space I think we can build a great big home up there with a view."
"How the hell did you get onto that one?"
"I know people." I leered at him.
He was excited for us and wanted to know if I would sell him my old come new apartment but I refused because I liked it, and I had also promised Alice I wouldn't sell it. The night was great people walking by stopped and talked even some sat and had a drink with us it was the perfect Italian night under the stars. Anna came back and had one drink then she whisked Gino off to do something or other so we decided to go sit on our walkway. Three bottles were taken to the rooftop and the boys were already walking through the plans.
"Antonio that old shed is the entrance to a staircase that goes into the lower building, it must be boarded up at the other ends," Leon said.
"I will have to ask Nina if she has a key to the shed if not we can break-in."
Too late Gianni and Carlos had the door open before I could blink.
We went inside and yes it was no more than a shed with a kitchen and shower room, but the floor in the living come bedroom was only temporary and when the boys lifted it there was a staircase, a beautiful staircase. The carpet on it was brand new and the wood banister was in perfect condition. After doing some digging around it was deemed safe and so we explored down it until we were faced with a blank wall. The wall was at the far end of my hallway next to Carlos and Leon's apartment it had been bordered up.
I never knew it was there and when we asked Alice she said yes Nina had it done because kids were playing with her washing on the roof. She had always known Nina owned the roof but never thought to tell us.
"This is going to be wonderful Antonio, so many things you can do with this space." Carlos was amazed.
"I think we are on a winner here boys, Gianni do you like it?"
"Yes Antonio it's beautiful we can put a lift in because the stairs are too much." I looked at him and almost giggled at his big plan.
"Antonio, can I come and live with you?" Carlos was putting on his sad eyes.
"Carlos of course you can live with us but please don't tell Leon."
He and I laughed and I had to slap him on his gorgeous ass just once more.
We settled down on our walkway and Gianni was excited to be doing something new.
"We can run the lift from the car park straight up the back of the building Antonio."
"I don't think the body corporate would allow us to have a lift attached to the outer walls baby."
"Then we will get a hoist and a big basket like Nina did, and haul ourselves up to the roof."
"Yes, that's better it will be safe for Lukas and myself Gianni." I was not trying to be funny.
"Have another drink Antonio, maybe things will loosen you up again, your so uptight today." Was my gorgeous husband to be trying to tell me to chill out?
"I'm sorry Gianni it's been a long tiresome day." We locked the shed as much as we could and went back to our usual space sitting on the walkway.
I checked Lukas had gone to sleep and then I went back to be with my men.
"It's all worth it Antonio, being here with you all," Gianni said.
"Yes it's the best time of day isn't it boys?"
They were kissing each other and not listening, I hope they don't think they are moving in with us.
The next few weeks went by fast, money had been transferred and Sabine handed us the title for the rooftop, We spoke to an architect friend of Stavros's and he said the plans were enough to go through council but he will modernize them first. We had to get the body corps approval for the build which was easy, and Gianni had to look at lifts, which he said could be installed alongside the fire escape. The architect said he will also look at how a lift could be installed internally. The event will be next week and Gianni's wines had turned up in two big containers. His recipe ones were divine even I could tell they were better than the Cartasso top shelf, after all this time I had become a wine expert. The warehouse next door was now full and the boys moved their office into it, they had two extra workers to do orders. I don't know if Federico was happy about it or not but he seemed very happy when it was over, maybe he was glad to be rid of them.
I looked at Gianni's bottles and they were awesome, the labels were exquisitely embossed with his name across them some black bottles, loads of clear some green, and his shop displayed them all nicely. The Cartasso ones were still on special but his brand had taken over all the cooling cabinets except one for his family's brand. The tables had turned and wherever I looked there was Gianni's name and it was even bigger when a big white and gold neon sign arrived at our warehouse, that was for his shop, but first, we will use it on top of the Combi van at the casino wine event. The wheelbarrows had been decorated with flowers by the kids and looked awesome so we were ready to go, and my flower order was placed with the ladies in my warehouse which is just down the road.
The biggest celebration we had during those mad weeks was Lukas, he was fully upright and walking even throwing in a word or two, one of which was papa, Gianni cried when he heard it and was walking around on a high all day. I had overheard gran saying it constantly to him and now I know where he's getting it from.
I had two workmen making a frame to put the neon sign up with, I couldn't attach it to the Combi van because it will damage it so they spent a day doing that for us. The wheelbarrows will be situated down the right-hand side and the tables on the left. The reason I wanted the barrows was because of my shop, I wanted to somehow recreate the scene at the market and my shop brings color to the café. I also had a small sign with Antonio's florist shop with cards printed for that side of the display. If I could have convinced them I would have hired Stavros and his mates to play cards throughout the event but I relented, this event is all about orders and customers. The crystal lights lit up the area they were draped from pole to pole over the tables and chairs and looked like a big awning for the van in the end.
I tried to go in next door to see what the boys were doing because I heard hammering. They quickly shoved me back into my space but not before I saw a lot of hay bales and they saw my lighting. Unless they do something with lights their display might look a little dull. I was happy with what I had done and Gianni was even happier when he thoroughly thanked me for doing it for him.
He got what I was trying to do, not only promote his café but my shop also in a small way he said it all looked like the market café in a roundabout sort of way. I shut everything down and it will be shipped to the Casino tomorrow for two days of setting up. The boys were arguing over something when they finally made it to the café, they sat out the back and I could hear them so I will put them out of their misery and help.
"What's wrong boys?"
"We have a problem and Nina will not be happy with us we forgot lighting."
"That's no good boys can I help in a small way?"
"I don't think so Antonio how do we get lighting at this late stage, we did think of chandeliers but they are hard to hang in that big space."
"Two-words boys, theatre spotlights." I smiled they looked confused.
"Theatre spotlights, you have bales of hay a tasting table made of crates and I assume boys and girls lying about in the hay, your open boxes of wines need highlighting that's all, go hire some theatre spotlights, Stavros will know where to get them from, and maybe an old movie camera or two, turn it into a movie set, get a couple of restored Vespers too while you're at it."
"I think he's right Carlos it's too dull not bright like Giannis. We were going for the country theme from where we come from but maybe we will do the Sophia Loren movie set have we got the time?"
"If you get your noses out of the wine bottles and get onto it you might just pull it off."
"I would like to pull you off Antonio," Carlos said shyly.
"He's always trying to pull someone off Antonio, do not feel so special." Leon dumped cold water on me.
"Well don't just sit there."
"We think about it some more we have time."
They didn't do anything for the rest of the day except serving and sip their wines. I give up and I'm not going to help them anymore and any way that's Nina's job why has she made it look dull. Lukas was hanging onto my shop door he was making his way to Stavros's table I think maybe he wants to play cards, but Alice had him in her sights.
"That's as far as you go young man come on I have a bottle for you."
"Nooo!? And the crying started, god help us, he tried to run, she caught him and tickled him to throw him off his game, then he was taken back inside. Too dangerous for him to be out in the crowd he will get trod on.
Gianni was talking to Sabine and Nina out the front, I sat for a minute and while they talked about the new apartment because it would be an apartment, not a fully-fledged house that would look ridiculous on top of a building.
"Gianni your staircase is a private one, originally there was to be a penthouse for the builder, but he went bust, The private entry goes down to the alleyway haven't you noticed the different bricks on the wall there? I will come and show you how it was but you have your very own private staircase and entrance."
"I did not see it on the plans." He said.
"They will be on the building plans not my ones, go to the council and get a copy."
He looked at his watch he hasn't got time now so I guess he will go tomorrow. I was offered wine but declined I had work to do, cleaning up empty boxes and bottles.
"Have you finished your display, Antonio?" Nina asked.
"Yes, it's all done and dusted Nina, have you?"
"Yes baby, when the rest of the stuff is delivered to the Casino tomorrow it will look magnificent." Oh no, you're not going to drag me into another conspiracy. I got us and said as I left.
"Well, I'm sure it is going to look beautiful as usual."
I heard laughing when I went inside, so I grabbed all the rubbish bins and emptied them, passing the boys I ignored them. I toiled away putting fresh cakes out, bin liners and I even wiped over the fridges, I then missed my boy and went in next door.
"Is he sleeping, Alice?"
"Yes Antonio, it was a battle today."
"He's found his freedom and wants to explore a bit." I giggled.
"He wasn't happy about being shut in but it has to be done he will get into trouble out there."
"There's nowhere else to keep him Alice, I feel sorry for him because he can hear the market but can't see it."
"It will all work out for the best Antonio, for now, he has to be locked in for his safety."
"Okay, how's the business been?"
"Very good son, the boys ordered their flowers we will do them at the warehouse, they can be delivered with the Casino ones Antonio, kill two birds with one stone." She smiled.
"Did they get much?"
"Yes, a big order and they want a couple of boxes of your cards too." I was pleased they have included my shop it must be an apology sale I think.
They were serving when I got back a big order of Gianni's wines walked out the door on a trolley.
"That's a big one boys."
"Yes Antonio, we discounted them so he took more."
"Good on you, we need more customers like him."
"You will get them, Antonio if that's any indication of the wine's worth then they will be walking out the door in no time," Carlos said.
"Good, another wine?"
"Yes please Antonio, that would be nice."
Angelo was back on board today he has picked out his van and is now having his name painted on it so he can advertise more before his restaurant opens, it will be his eighteenth birthday party this Saturday night and I am looking forward to it. Lukas will be happy to be there amongst his mates he can walk anywhere, the crowd is very baby-friendly.
Gianni joined us because Nina and Sabine had some shopping to do, I gave him a drink and the boys told him about his big sale.
"The cheaper ones?"
"No Gianni six crates of the best ones." Leon smiled Gianni slapped his head.
"Wow, that is good isn't it Antonio?"
"Yes Gianni very good, maybe we should hire the boys to work the wine counter."
"I can sell wine also Antonio." He was put out.
"Yes, I know baby I just thought you might have a rest now and then."
"Oh thank you, Antonio, yes that may be a good idea."
"We have work to do on our displays Antonio, so much work we don't think we will be able to work for three days and get that finished too."
"I'm sure you can Carlos, from what I hear, your all done for the event." I sneered at them.
"See Leon you always get me into trouble, why do I have to lie to Antonio all the time it's not nice because I like Antonio."
"It's fun baby, don't go all silly on me." Leon's face was bright red.
"Well, Carlos next time you stand up for yourself you are an independent man after all."
"I will Antonio, no more troubles Leon I don't like it."
"Okay." He looked all alone over the other side of the table so I poured him another drink.
"Have another drink brother."
"Thank you, Antonio."
We almost carried Leon to the car he was a little drunk today, something I have rarely seen, but with a little help from Carlos we got him there finally. Bubs was all mouth on the way home as I pointed to different things and gave him words for them, he didn't repeat them but like gran says he will get it one day.
We helped Carlos get Leon into bed he is going to have a nap and then I kissed him and said.
"Don't fuck with me or my gang Leon, have a nice night." Then we left because Gianni had to total up his takings for the day.
"How did you go?"
"Very good Antonio, I did very good, my business is taking off and I am loving my independence."
"I am pleased for you baby." I picked Lukas up and started playing with him, he was all giggles now and he only wanted me tonight. I think he thinks he can charm me. There was something else I had noticed with him, his hair didn't grow any longer than his shoulders, maybe gran is cutting it, or Alice, but it was beautiful.
"Antonio, can we talk for a minute?'
"Of course we can."
"I want to get married as soon as possible Antonio, can we get married here, maybe at the Italian club then have an Italian one back at home later in the year?" What sort of a question is that.
"Yes, anything you want, we had better go and get some new suits."
"Are you okay with that idea?"
"Yes of course I am, the sooner the better." I smiled.
"Good because I want to and I want you to be more of my family with my name."
I hadn't thought about that one, I wanted to keep my dad's name but if that's what he wants we can do it his way. I was just happy that someone wanted to marry me.
"That will be fine Gianni, Antonio Cartasso it is then."
"You don't mind?"
"No baby of course not, new name new life. I am looking forward to it. I leaned in and kissed him then I had to kiss Lukas because he wanted to welcome me to his family also.
