Impossible Love

Impossible Love 34

We arrived at the warehouse early to meet the new staff, they had been sitting in their car out the front and after the introductions, Gianni went through the orders with them. He also showed them how to relabel the Cartasso wines and when they have a delivery they were to use my warehouse trucks. They said Nina has hired casuals to do the relabelling and they would be here shortly. The overseas orders will be shipped from Italy direct so we didn't have to worry about that. I had deliberately put an urgent sign on Iris's order to be dispatched first. They were three lovely men and they were telling us they had been out of work for six months and Nina was a godsend, they had worked factory floors before so they knew what they were doing.

When we left they were shifting pallets of wines over to the front roller door to be dispatched and I deemed they will do a good job, set and forget I thought. Not so fast Antonio, Gianni had to oversee them for an hour or so.

Nina's casuals turned up and Gianni showed them how to relabel the bottles, they picked it up quickly and started their day. We left for the café and Alice was first in line, she had bought a small TV from home for Lukas to watch so that's one thing I didn't have to do today, the next thing I did was unload the van and trolley the cartons into the back of the shop, we have to refill the wine fridges quick smart. I spoke to Angelo about the event and he was very pleased for us and Tommaso's smile wasn't hard to miss.

"He's a real spunk that man of yours Tommaso."

"I know, fuck I love him so bad." He let his guard down.

"Well I know he loves you, I believe he hasn't stopped talking about you since Angelo's birthday night."

"His mama and poppa want me to move into their bungalow with him, they said it was to keep him out of trouble."

"So word has got around then."

"Yes Antonio, I am the proudest man in this city at the moment."

"Good, move in with him then, and have a good life together."

"I will." He bent over and kissed me on the cheek.

That's one happy puppy I think and I also think their marriage will be rock solid like mine is ....sometimes.

"Antonio, do you think you will be doing any work anytime in the next minute or two?"

"Coming boss man." I giggled then I went to open another carton of wine. We couldn't fill the fridges up quick enough the boys had arrived early and were behind the counter wrapping orders for our lovely customers.

"We have an appointment with Stavros at lunchtime Antonio, do you think we could take some time off?' Carlos said.

I laughed, take time off, they are always taking time off I wonder if Gianni is paying them, I must find out.

Nina and Sabine were sitting out the front and they were deep in conversation as the crowd passed behind them, they ordered a Gianni special and sat with their glasses and talked. I kissed both of them good morning and Nina said she was waiting for Stavros to be free she and the boys had an appointment with him, I suppose it's about the market takeover I don't want to get involved in that at all.

"Alice, where is my grandson," Sabine shouted, so un lady-like.

"Watching the cat in the hat granny." Sabine bristled.

"I can see I am going to have big trouble with my brother's girlfriend, I had better put a stop to her right now." I touched her hand.

"Leave it, she loves him just as much as you do. I will go and get him in a minute I promise." She giggled.

"Thank you Antonio you are a good boy to your mama." She then patted my hand.

The wine was walking out the door at a rapid pace and Gianni sent me to the warehouse to grab some more. The boys were hard at it relabelling bottles and there were four trucks lined up to do deliveries. I guess Pietro is rubbing his hands because of the extra business he's getting. I thought about buying some trucks but Pietro's men do a great job and he's very reasonable. Back at the café, I grabbed Gianni to come and help unload.

"This is too much work Antonio, I haven't even had a vino yet."

"Well the boys have made themselves comfortable with Nina and Stavros so when we finish here we will have one together, maybe we had better think about getting more staff baby it's getting a little urgent now."

"I was just thinking that, I wonder if Maxie wants a job."

"Ask Tommaso, go ask him now." He did that and I hauled the trolley full of boxes into the back of the shop.

I sat at the back table with Sabine she poured me a drink and when Gianni came back he stared at me and his bottom lip dropped.

"Antonio, you didn't wait for me?"

"I haven't started yet, how did you go with Maxie?"

"He needs a job Antonio, we will hire him." He smiled, he's done good business today and he's going to shit when he finds out what I have in mind. To top it all off last week when we weren't here, the three girls that were backpackers traveling around Australia wanted to leave, so we were thrown into a spin. luckily they said they will stay until we find more staff. I haven't had time to talk to Nina about it but it's Angelo I need at the moment.

We had our wines then we had to go back to work when the boys came back so I went to the coffee machine and grabbed Angelo. I poured us a glass of wine and sat out the front, yes Gianni was staring at me.

"How far ahead are you with your restaurant Angelo?"

"I have found the venue and sort of got some staff, I need a chef and kitchen staff and some waiters, I have Tommaso and I wanted Maxie also so be prepared to lose him." He smiled.

"What is your vision?" He stared at me.

"What are you up to?"

"Vision first."

"I want to run a semi-high-class restaurant with good authentic Italian food and wine, not a nightclub. I couldn't cope with a lot of drunks and there are too many on the main road anyway. A drop in good vibe good Italian restaurant and café with good coffee and the food will be paramount."

"W

hats up Antonio?"

"Have a look to your left at those two shops then the toilet block."

"What am I looking at?"

"Your new restaurant."

He was stunned into silence, and he doesn't get it just yet."

"Okay, the boys are going to renovate those two shops and relocate the toilets outside the market, that makes three spaces that will be available What if I have a word to them and then they can renovate the two shops into one with an ample kitchen, the shop owners there can be relocated anywhere in the market. You do your good food and wines, you can do coffee but in-house only and keep desserts but not the ones Gianni has, I don't want the businesses to clash. You get to serve your delicious meals and do some snacks to our customers, and you get the use of our tables and place your snack menu on them."

"Shit you have just destroyed my dream of opening on the main street."

"Is that such a bad thing considering the main shopping business is done here in this market. You won't clash with Gianni's because you will be a proper restaurant, not a takeaway."

"So how much room will I have, I don't need a lot."

"As much as you need Angelo, one two or three shops turned into one. I want to get an answer as soon as possible before Nina makes a final plan. You will need to install the kitchen and your tables can spill out like ours, I think it's a viable idea and just think, we will have so much fun with Gianni." I smiled at him and wanted to kiss his perfect lips.

"Can I think about it?"

"Yes you have the time baby, go talk to grandad."

He saluted me then he went to look over the other two shops. There's a greeting card shop that always looks empty and a pet supply business that always looks closed, they will be easy to move on or relocate. I looked over at my man he was leaning on the door frame and he called out.

"Is business good today Antonio?"

"I think so, Gianni." I laughed and took my bottle out the back to be greeted with four red faces.

"Were you talking about me?"

"Yes." Sabine giggled.

"All nice I hope."

"Yes Antonio, we are always nice about you." Carlos blushed.

"Okay, I have done some business Nina, get out your note pad because I am only going to tell you this once."

I told them my idea and Gianni didn't say a word he did the Italian thing and his eyes glassed over.

"Now we have that out of the way. Angelo is talking to Stavros as we speak, so Nina, how about you disturb their little talk, he needs ladies who can cook a good authentic Italian meal." I winked.

Her eyes lit up and she was off that stool with wine in hand within seconds, and she also grabbed a fresh bottle to go.

"What have you done Antonio, you have turned our market upside down I think." Leon wasn't amused.

"Just thinking out loud baby boy, Angelo gets his dream and we get snacks for our customers. He won't carry our cakes and we get to supply his restaurant with wine." I looked at Gianni again and he grabbed me to give me a big thank you kiss.

"Money keeps rolling in Antonio, what gypsy magic do you have?"

"I don't know about the magic baby but I wish I could get the gypsy curse off my back sometimes."

"What curse Antonio?" Carlos was asking the questions today.

"The curse of the Cartasso boys they drive me crazy sometimes."

"Oh, sorry Antonio." He dropped his lip, there's a lot of that going around today.

Angelo was almost hopping on one leg when he came back with Nina in tow."

"I'll take the two shops." He grinned.

"Good, they will be the first thing to be renovated then, Boys go in next door and throw the greeting card lady into the streets will you?"

"What?"

"Well, you don't expect me to do your dirty work for you do you?"

"No Antonio, Nina?"

"Forget it, I am the coordinator, not the security." She laughed and I think Nina is a little sloshed but happy today.

We had locked up and our boy was sleeping on the floor and when Gianni turned the lights off he told me to stay where I was, he stood staring at me for a long time then he slowly moved over and touched my face gently.

"I love you Antonio, ti amo, my gioiello prezioso, my precious jewel." Then he kissed me deeply and was just about to lay with me on the shop floor when we heard.

"We are ready Antonio, can we go home now Gino is waiting." Leon had come back from the market office and he and Carlos were ready.

"See the Cartasso family curse strikes again." I smiled at my man, and he was a man when he turned to the boys in the car and told them to behave themselves not so politely.

Gino was there with Alice and Anna, Federico had turned up and he was discussing a new shop with the boys but I heard them say that the Cartasso winery does very well out of Gianni's shop there was no need for a Cartasso one. Poor Federico, he looked unhappy, was it because he's bored in that stuffy wine shop.

"How far ahead are you with your bookshop Anna?"

"Maybe not as far ahead as you are with the market Antonio, I believe it's getting a new restaurant installed in it."

I threw my hands in the air but didn't reply.

"Antonio, we will do something about removing that curse from you. I am a gypsy prince after all." His smile was gorgeous so was his hand on my thigh.

Sabine will be leaving soon she has to get back to hug whatever babies that had been born while she was away. She has organized with Gianni that all the building costs be taken out of the business account and she and Ramone will replace it when it's all done. I was to use my card for furnishings and fittings for some reason they wanted to keep that separate from Gianni's card.

We had the plans redrawn and it looks more modern and up to date now, and Gianni tested more elevators. Sabine said that Ramone is bringing his lover to the farm and she was very excited to see him again, and she hoped he would stay with them for good.

I asked her why he wasn't there anyway.

"Alessio had a car accident five years ago, he stays in Rome to do his therapy and his doctors are near. He is in a wheelchair but I have seen him walking Antonio. I think he stays there because of me."

"Why you, you're not the problem are you?"

"Of course not, he maybe thinks he will be in the way of the business, maybe he thinks I will push him aside. That will be the last thing I would do Antonio. Ramones happiness is my priority he has stifled himself for years because of his family, now he doesn't have to and I want Alessio to go and live with him at the farm."

"I see so he's staying away because you are the head of the company and house, let me guess when he's there he stays in his room."

"Yes Antonio it doesn't go unnoticed, Ramone tries but he is so in love with him he lets him get away with it all."

"We will have to fix that."

"I have something in mind." She grinned.

As the weeks went by the Market was starting to be renovated and the toilet relocated, which will get rid of the smell of the old dilapidated one. Things were shifting in my life, Lukas was almost forming some real words and he has discovered running, falling, bumping his head and screaming at the top of his voice, which is the Italian thing.

Gran was run off her feet when she called two days a week and grandad childproofed everything he could think of. Many times I watched Alice chase Lukas into the market he would laugh and she would scream at him. The more she screamed the faster he waddled.

We had been quoted six months for our home to be at lock up stage, and before Sabine left the workmen had already done the groundwork so's to speak, they had a crane in the car park and were lifting steel beams to the rooftop. Lukas, Gianni, and I had a good day watching it go up and down the side of the building.

"Let's go with her Antonio?"

"Go with who?"

"Mama, let's have a holiday in Italy, we need a break."

"Sure, we can drop everything and just go, can we?"

"Yes Antonio, it will be a good opportunity for Angelo to run a business on his own, Nina will oversee the rooftop and the market. I can get my new ideas done on the spot with Tinker, you get to meet Alessio and we can also look at Italian furniture and fittings for our house in the clouds." He smiled and kissed me. I never thought of that, but I bet Sabine did.

"We don't have time."

"We do." I can't argue with him over it he wants to try out his wines.

"Okay but just a few weeks all right?'

"All right." He nodded.

When the boys found out of course they wanted to come too.

"We need a holiday to Antonio, can we come?"

"You are always on holiday boys so no, you cant." I wouldn't deprive them of going to Italy, it is their home.

"But we want to swim with you again in the pool, that was so funny when we raced you wasn't it?'' They are trying to bribe me now.

"Okay you can come but you had better behave yourselves."

They both nodded yes and so did Gianni except he had a leering smile on his face, what are you all up to. I suppose I will find out sooner rather than later.

We bought tickets to Rome and will join Sabine's flight, Angelo was wrapped he got a promotion, and Nina said she had it all organized, and the market will be almost finished by the time we get back. We are only booked to go for two weeks they can't do all that work by then, something's up.

"No Antonio you said two weeks but I say six, I am the man of the house you know that hasn't changed."

"But Gianni, be realistic gran and Alice will miss Lukas and us we can't go for that long."

"We can, and that is the stop to it all, play nice Antonio or I will spank you for being insubordinate."

"Okay."

"Okay, what?"

"Spank me."

I didn't get the answer I was looking for so I left it for the moment then I dropped my shorts and lay across his powerful legs. My spanking wasn't so bad it included a few rubs on my butt to soothe it, and a wonderful bit of ass play while he took a break, so as I said it wasn't bad, not bad at all. He finished it off with a wonderful slow head job and as I did him he said.

"I am the man I have the bigger dick."

"Yes honey you are keep pumping."

There was so much to do before we left but in the end, all I had to do was pack. Nina had hired some girls to aid her with her enormous job of overseeing two builds and the florist business so everyone was happy and I didn't have to keep pushing the boys to get involved in their market. They were excited as grandad drove us to the airport without Gino and Anna, she wasn't feeling well. I think I have packed a lot of suitcases there seems to be more than I thought. We met Federico and Alice there and they all sat with us as we had coffee and cake, they were terrible.

On the flight there the boys played in the business class toilets and left me many messages and gran put Lukas to bed with Alice's help. Federico and grandad talked about how long it has been since he had seen his home country.

Gianni was looking for a pat on the head but he wasn't getting it from me, I had already guessed they were coming along by the suitcase count. I didn't guess that Federico and Alice would be on board though.

"Did you get my suit?"

"What suit Antonio, Antonio look what I have done for you."

"You did very well baby, but you didn't answer me did you get my suit?"

His head dropped and so did his lip.

"You guessed."

"Yes I guessed and this is the most fantastic trip I have ever taken with you, so your reward is I will meet you in the toilet in three minutes." I kissed him deeply and now I want to thank him properly.

"Are you mad at me?"

"Never mad, you must love me so much to take me and my family to Italy to get married."

"I do Antonio very much, and your suit is at home ready for you, we had it made through Cody Mitchell and Armani dropped them off."

"Have we got rings?"

"Yes Antonio all the bells and whistles you would expect, yours have diamonds in it because I can't have them because I'm a man."

"Come with me and I will show you what a real man looks like."

We joined the mile club and when we finished refreshing ourselves the boys let us out, they were our security in case we were disturbed. We did that three times over the long journey but not so long for Sabine Alice and Gran they were with Lukas keeping him amused.

At Rome airport we had a big people mover meet us. Tinker had taken the day off to drive his friends home and while we all looked at the countryside Gianni sat up front and talked wines with him. We were taken on a tour and gran and Alice had their noses pressed to the windows. I got to cuddle with my son some of the way so I was happy. Grandad had fallen asleep and Federico was listening to Gianni's conversation, Sabine watched me until I gave my son over to her.

Pulling up at the family house we piled out to be met by Ramone and Alessio who was a lot younger than I thought and very handsome. I wasn't shocked and I didn't know what to expect but he was a happy kind of guy anyway.

We introduced ourselves and went inside to go sit out the back, Lukas was immediately taken off Sabine by Rosa, Gianni's housekeeper. She welcomed me back after she cuddled with him, she must have missed him badly. I think we are staying in the gatehouse again, well I wished we were because Tinker had dropped our suitcases there on the way in.

Gran and Grandpa were tired but they sat and had coffee and Sabine went into hostess mode giving orders as she had never left.

Alessio was staring at me whenever I looked at him, and he was a gorgeous guy with a gorgeous smile.

"So do you want to say something, Alessio?" I caught him again.

"No Antonio, I was looking for the beads of sweat and thought you might want a swim."

"I will after, at the moment I need coffee."

"Okay, I will wait to see your speedos then." Everyone laughed, bloody comedians.

"Do you swim?"

"Oh yes I love to swim Antonio it strengthens my legs, sometimes I walk, most times I don't but I am happy."

"What happened to you?" I was being rude but I wanted to know.

"Car accident Antonio five years back."

"Okay so ..."

"Thirty-one Antonio, not so young to not have a handsome older man on my arm. I am lucky to find Ramone's kind heart in my life." I could see the love in his eyes when he mentioned Ramone's name.

"So why aren't you living here with him?"

"I can't, everything I need is in Roma. I have my therapy and doctors there but I see Ramone frequently, this time he took me to Monte Carlo we had a very good holiday."

"Everything you need is here Alessio, fresh air, Ramone, good food. Doctor's are a dime a dozen and therapy, how many pools do you need?" I smiled at him.

"I am still thinking Antonio, I don't want to upset what Sabine has here her business and things." He whispered.

"I doubt whether that will upset Sabine, she's already thinking she may return to Australia for six months of the year someone has to keep these ratbags in order." He had a wonderful laugh and everyone's eyes were on us.

"Okay think about it some more then." I smiled at him.

Gran and grandad's eyes were drooping so they went off to have a nap and Alice and Federico joined them but in separate rooms of course.

I was getting a little hot and when two of the winery women bought their newborn babies over for Sabine to see, she was like a pig in poo again.

I went into the pool house and picked out a white pair this time, and I didn't run to the pool I walked, so Alessio could have a good perve I even curtsied to everyone. I heard clapping then two boys dived in with me and one potential husband, nudo of course. We splashed around and made a little noise I didn't think the oldies would hear us anyway but I was careful not to scream when Leon grabbed my dick and wanted to pull me around with it, fuck that hurt.

"It's Ramone all over Antonio, he has always had a kind heart and Alessio does love him there is only a fifteen-year difference, not that much." Carlos was educating me.

"He's scared to leave his comfort zone Carlos that's why he doesn't live here. I reckon he's not over his accident fully and is keeping himself safe in Rome, otherwise, he would be here."

"I know Antonio, I have talks with papa about it, he can't push him and he won't leave him he loves him very much."

"Then it is up to us." I smiled.

"Thank you Antonio I knew you would do something." I had no idea what to do, but the best thing is to make Alessio feel safe here not in that dirty old city.

We frolicked around in the pool until Gianni grabbed me and pinned me to the side he started the kissing thing and there was no way either of us could get out at that moment. The manly dick was firmly planted between my legs and I was very happy to have it there. I waited for ages until the food arrived and I felt hungry, I sucked in my stomach and dashed to the table grabbing one of the towels as I went.

Alessio was laughing his head off at my awkward dash or was it, my full bikini swimmers.

"It's not that funny Alessio."

"It was so funny Antonio, you are a shy boy I think."

"Yes very shy and very cautious, because I never know what these two are going to do to me." I pointed to the boys.

"We love you Antonio," Carlos said.

"I Love you back."

Gran and Alice came out Grandad and Federico were eating in their rooms, they had showered and dressed in summer clothes then sat and ate something. The ladies and their babies had gone and Rosa had taken Lukas to the gatehouse so he could get familiar with his room again.

"You will all be here for breakfast won't you Gianni?" Sabine has changed to house coordinator again.

"Yes mama but I want to get an early start with the vino."

"It will still be there after breakfast son, there's no hurry."

"What day is the wedding?" I said.

"What wedding?" Sabine asked.

"My wedding."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"A little bird told me, now what day?"

"No wedding Antonio, what did my son tell you?"

"We had suits made and rings, and we were to be married while we are here."

"Gianni, why would you tell such lies to Antonio, you maybe got his hope up too much." I seethed at him, there was no call for it, he didn't have to make a story up.

"Well, what do you have to say for yourself, sissy boy?" I looked at him.

He stood up then he went down on his knee, he then asked me to marry him and produced a gold ring with a diamond band around it.

"I hadn't even asked him properly yet Mama."

"Oh sorry, Gianni I was just having some fun with my new son-in-law." She laughed I will see to her later on.

"So it's happening is it?"

"Yes Antonio, why would I lie about such things." I could hear gran and Alice laughing in the background.

"Antonio?"

"Yes, Gianni?"

"My knee is hurting."

"So, stand up."

"No Antonio, you have to say it first."

"Yes, I will marry you." I blushed then he stood up and kissed me.

"Thank the Gods." He breathed out and rubbed his knee, I heard clapping coming from everywhere.

"So what day are we doing to get married?"

"On Saturday if that pleases you." He smiled.

"Okay, then I had better try my suit on."

He blushed and replied.

"Yes, you better do that."

"What suit Gianni? I thought we decided on a bridal frock." Sabine laughed too much for my liking, lucky she was close to the pool. I pulled her chair back and picked her up, then I dumped her in the pool, designer dress and all.

"Antonio!"

"What mama?"

"I will get you for this, boys help your mama."

They didn't help they were too busy laughing their asses off.

"You got Mama real good Antonio, only you could get away with that." Leon laughed then he jumped in to help her find her way to the stairs.

I couldn't help but notice Ramone and Alessio were in tears laughing.

She draped a towel around herself and glared at me, I lifted my eyebrows and she must have thought she had better shut her mouth before she went in again.

"Aww, Mrs Sabine you must change you are all wet." The housekeeper said.

"I will do it later as I am already wet I may go for a swim, on my own."

"Well that's my cue to leave, we will see you tomorrow bright and early. I want to go to the distillery with Gianni you won't mind babysitting will you dear mother-in-law?"

"No Antonio I won't mind."

"Come with me husband to be, we have suits to try on." We said our farewells to everyone and as we walked through the house I could hear Sabine's wonderful laughter.

We grabbed one of the cars and Gianni drove us home. I was so happy to see it again and Rosa had made us a special snack in case we got hungry she also took the car to go visit family and I told her to tell Roberto I will visit with him soon. Lukas was sound asleep so we took the baby monitor and I slipped out of my tight bathers and into the pool with my fiancée. It didn't take him long to find my special place and thank got the grease wasn't water-based because he had a time of it getting it in, he was still laughing.

Two boys dived in not long after and they had a race, they had been hanging out for it since they got here, and they also wanted to film it to show Alessio because he didn't believe them. I guess he will be looking at the dirty porn show as soon as it is sent to him.

"Mama was so funny Antonio, she never goes in the pool with her clothes on, she always has her swimmers, it was so funny." Leon laughed as Carlos opened some wine.

"Well, she should know better and not fuck with me."

"Yes, Antonio you are the Padrino (Godfather) of the Cartasso family now I think," Carlos said.

"You better believe it."

I was put to bed, jet lag and vino will do that to me, and the boys stayed the night once again. Gianni was still laughing as he tucked the blankets around me to keep me warm and he whispered in my ear that tomorrow after he does business we will take Lukas to the lake. I wiggled around and kissed him good night, I suppose I'm in for it again tomorrow I shouldn't have bought my ass with me on this trip.

Rosa was there in the morning serving up a small snack and coffee, she had changed Lukas and he was ready to be pampered by the women at the big house. She told me Roberto, her lawyer son, is eager to talk to me and will make himself available anytime I want. Gianni was eager to get to the winery and the boys were at a loose end but thought they may go to the manor house and see what has been done for the wedding.

"Have you invited the village Gianni?"

"Yes Antonio, if I don't there will be a riot on my hands."

"Good, it will be a nice day then."

"They didn't know what to buy us so they made a present from the whole village. I believe it is lovely."

"Oh my god, I hope it's not a statue."

"No Antonio it's a big painting of mama getting wet." He laughed his head off again and kissed me, I thought it was hilarious also and couldn't wait to hang it on my new walls.

That's not what they have bought us and I hope they haven't thrown their hard earned money away on something expensive. I would have been happy with a case of wine.

We piled into the car and took Lukas up to the house, Sabine, gran, and Alice who looked a lot better today were still at breakfast so we joined them after I kissed them all. Romano and Alessio were smiling at me and he waved his phone at me.

"You were very good Antonio I hope that horse didn't hurt you." He laughed.

"My fucking god what now?" Sabine jumped up picking her bag up at the same time.

"What is it, Mama?" Carlos asked.

"I will be back, carry on with your breakfast." She slipped her hand into the bag, probably holding her gun.

We watched her walk past the pool and into a copse of trees about thirty yards away where a man stepped out from behind a tree.

"Basilio." I moaned.

"No, I don't think so Antonio, Menowin," Romano whispered.

"Who is Menowin papa?" Gianni asked.

Romano didn't answer and I could hear shouting so Gianni took off to go see what the fuss was all about. I watched him put his arms around Sabine and she was still shouting at the man.

"He won't harm them, he wouldn't dare place one finger on them," Romano said.

"Who is he?" I asked.

"Gianni's uncle, the king of the Gypsy."
