Impossible Love

Impossible Love 40

Maxieplus

We walked our feet off the first day, so the next we hired a driver to take us around it was so much better to travel in an air-conditioned minibus.

We didn't eat last night because we ate so much at lunch. But we did order up the wines as we sat on the vast balcony that was attached to our suite. The boys couldn't walk home so no nookie for Antonio, he had five in the bed. It is okay for them they don't have a baby to look out for so they can make love anywhere at any time. Gianni and I have responsibilities, but when he woke me up around midnight to follow him to the bathroom, I was still half asleep and kept asking him if he was finished yet. It wasn't attractive and when I felt full I dragged myself back into bed under the covers hugging Carlos.

"Antonio?" I heard him whisper, then I was dead to the world.

The next day we went to the Coliseum that was a trial. Our driver dropped us near to the front and as soon as we stepped out of the bus we were surrounded by people. It was the Gypsy that worked on fleecing the tourists whether they were forewarned or they just recognized Adamo and Gianni I don't know but we go the grand tour, two hours of traipsing around the magnificent building, into places not available to the public and many photos were taken.

Gianni Lukas and I were standing behind an enormous pillar, the boys had gone off to sit at a bar with Sabine. I kissed him then I took some more photos. A young woman walked by and when our eyes met she rubbed her baby bump, I bowed to her and offered her a nurse of Lukas she shook her head and walked off. Gianni hadn't seen her I don't know whether that was a good thing or bad, but I got the feeling on her side it was just business. I did tell Sabine and she spent the next half hour looking for the girl but she never appeared again.

My honeymoon was wonderful and I couldn't wait to go home and rest up. They had all exhausted me and I was anxious to be in my very own bed with my husband. He is the man and he did get his end in twice but that was it, I decided he isn't going to sleep for a week when we get back, and his ass is mine.

We were dumped with all our shopping at the gatehouse, and yes we promised we wouldn't take long because the boys wanted to go swimming.

I looked at Roberto and Adamo and said.

"Here, look after your nephew we won't be a moment." I grabbed Gianni and forcibly pushed him on the bed then I pulled his shorts down and before he could protest I was humping him like a bull on heat. I took my time also and enjoyed every movement, every muscle on Gianni's back, I needed this to last.

"Are you finished yet?" His giggle was heard.

He started laughing that broke my moment. I threw my hands in the air and said.

"I give up, I fucking give up, see you downstairs." I walked out with my shorts in hand and jumped in the pool I did hear a.

"Antonio?" Before I slammed the bedroom door.

Now I'm in a mood and so frustrated I could fuck anyone that comes near me, luckily the boys were at the big house otherwise I would have done them both. I won't ruin Adamo's sense of the perfect cousin in law so I avoided looking at his crotch as I swam my frustrations away. Gianni jumped in nudo of course he was still laughing.

"That was so funny Antonio, I got you good I did."

"Hardy ha ha Gianni, yes you got me good." I swam to the deep end, he followed and so now he wants to play. He held the side of the pool while I saddled him up and my dam burst beautifully as I pumped him full of my babies. Of course, Adamo and Roberto were doing the same up the other end of the pool, I see Adamo is the top which may be useful to know in the future.

We made it to the big house just before Sabine sent the boys looking for her grandson. They were naked in the pool and we all joined them. I still wasn't finished with Gianni but that can wait until tonight. Sabine was sitting with three ladies and they didn't blink an eye when we all jumped in, but I did see them taking sly looks at us.

They were the housekeepers from the manor house and she was telling them her plans for Rosa to take over they were very pleased, I believe because Rosa was a trusted member of their community and she does get things done.

They left and Sabine joined us with Lukas. Adamo and Roberto cornered me and were asking about our new place and if there would be any room for them when they visit. I told them there is a bedroom with their name on it and all they have to do is let us know when and we will organize the flights.

I think that put their minds at ease, If ever two men were happy it was them two, they were new and trying everything. I guess they have been alone for some time like someone I know personally who now has me in a leg lock and his member is trying to violate me.

Food was delivered to the table so we all got out and dried ourselves, I counted three stiffies and three semi-hard ones but it didn't faze me one bit it's that Italian thing I always talk about. The boys were smiling at me and Sabine was smiling at Lukas he was eating a piece of toast, Gianni was just grinning. He knows I haven't finished with him yet so I suggested a nice sunbake at the lake, he was eager to go there, but the kids wanted to come too, so I canceled it.

"Are you very frustrated Antonio?" Carlos has concerns.

"Yes Carlos, my honeymoon was great but the sex wasn't offered as much as I thought it would be."

"Did we spoil it?"

"No, never can you spoil anything my Carlos, Leon did."

"What? I never did Antonio, it was Carlos's idea to tag along. I told him it was a bad idea but he insisted." I looked back at Carlos he was blushing. I know bloody well it was him because he had heard us talking at the lake.

"Never mind Antonio, I will keep him busy tonight so your bed will be empty." He finally offered.

"Fat chance of that." I looked at the other two.

"We are sorry Antonio but we still have some things to work on and you and my new brother are just the best teachers." Adamo laughed his head off.

"Right mum in law what have you got on for the day?"

"Nothing much son I have a meeting with Tinker after lunch but that's all."

"Good your babysitting, Gianni come with me." he started laughing as I hauled his ass away from the table, and he was still laughing when I fired up the golf cart and drove to the lake. I didn't park in the usual place I went as far away from the house as possible so no one could find us. I made love to my Gianni for hours, and he made love to me, it was a very special day for us because we again totally exhausted each other, and by the time we got back we were really over sex for the time being. I lay in the sun and Gianni was in the pool with Adamo and Roberto, we had come straight home and found them frolicking so we joined them.

I talked to them about moving into the gatehouse with Rosa and a card will be left for any incidentals they may need. Adamo will make a good wage at the winery and they shouldn't concern themselves with money.

Roberto said he has some good clients and he earns enough to keep his little family comfortably. All questions were answered and they were more relaxed about their journey together.

Menowin surprisingly turned up on his own and sat with us, he apologized once again for having a crazy brother. He was talking to Gianni about his duties. He wanted to make sure that he would vote with a clear head and not get involved with the bickering that happens when something major is happening in the tribe. Gianni is now on the council and gets one vote. Menowin was wording him up on the protocol and Gianni was quite interested because this is all new to him.

He promised he would consult with Menowin before he made any decisions, if he wanted to he could use his vote anytime. He wasn't satisfied with that and made sure Gianni understood it was his vote alone and he also had to attend at least one gathering in the valley every two years, we will plan our holidays around that time. Whatever else they talked about I wasn't privy to because they moved away into the vines that weren't far from the house. He told me later on that he was given passwords and codes to get into the website that had been created and he should check in every day to see if there was a problem. He also had an account and password for two bank accounts. The Gypsy general account and Basilio's account of which he had no idea he even had one but with all his fuss about the money he was bewildered that Basilio had so much in the bank. It surprised all of us because it wasn't small change.

When they came back he handed Adamo a card.

"This is your money it is time you handled it yourself."

"I have money papa?"

"Yes son, you haven't needed it up until now, you are setting up a new life of which your mama and I are so proud of you doing with Roberto. This is your money son use it when you have to. Roberto, I will send over two cousins shortly. They are needing a good lawyer to join with ours, secret Gypsy business but I think you can handle it." He winked at a blushing Roberto.

"Thank you, my king."

"Your welcome." Then Adamo kissed his father on the cheek and thanked him.

Having concluded their meeting I opened a bottle of wine and they saluted each other I was involved in the salute and on the surface, Gianni seemed to be okay with everything he had been told. Adamo was taking Roberto to the camp today, he was picking up some personal stuff like photos, his computer some clothes he was getting ready for the big move. He didn't have much because they all had to travel light so he didn't see a problem getting it all into the golf cart.

Roberto did the same the next day, and he moved everything he needed to the gatehouse, Rosa will move there with them and work at the Manor house it will be exciting for her. Roberto spent the whole day with the Gypsy and when he got back he had a stack of paperwork to read through, his smile didn't leave him I believe, until long after we left for home.

Ramone and Alessio arrived back two weeks or so after we had gone to Roma. I knew exactly what they had been doing when I saw the look on Alessio's face. He was smiling at everything and when Ramone started telling Sabine he had bought a house on the beach she threw her arms around him and was almost crying at his good news.

"Alessio needs to do more surfing it's helping him enormously he has found some friends there, and they got him back on a board, he uses his wheelchair less and less and walks further than he ever has."

"That's great news, so you will move closer to the beach or use it as a holiday home?" She asked.

"We move, and I can commute back here in a few hours if there's anything drastic to do. You don't mind my friend?"

"Of course not, we have to have a directors meeting to make sure we tie everything off, but I have done the Manor house and the distillery is in fine hands, I can't think of anything else."

"What about the events?"

"The boys and Nina will do that from Australia Ramone, anything we need to tell each other can be done by the internet." I winked at Alessio, he winked back. He stood up from his seat and gingerly walked over to the pool. He dropped his shorts and flashed his dick at me then dived in, his legs were showing some muscle tone, I guess his dick muscle has always worked.

"That's just wonderful Ramone, I bet he's so happy."

"He is now, I was prepared to pay the three guys that were helping him but they genuinely liked us both so we picked up a few friends on the way." He smiled then went on.

"They never went to the beach without him, and it was like his doom and gloom disappeared once he stopped doing tandem runs then he knelt on the board and surfed quite comfortably. The next thing he will try is standing up once he gets more strength in his legs. The guys will move in with us eventually but they are in no hurry. They don't want money, just a bed and shower and maybe a meal of two." I was watching him do laps and his legs were kicking now, just awesome.

He showed us pictures of the beach house and of course, we must visit soon, or when we are in Italy next. I was getting homesick and putting out little hints to Gianni but he was far too busy to contemplate going home.

He spent most of his spare time at the winery, he wanted to perfect a few more lines and by the time we had left he had in total eight different wines under his belt including his earlier ones. He was happy to have eight perfect ones than a dozen different mixes. Orders were done and shipped well before we left to go home. I spoke to Adamo about his bank account and he was blown away because he didn't expect anything, what he had was quite large and when Gianni saw it he made me transfer the same amount of money into Adamo's bank, it made the balance look so much healthier. When Adamo saw it he protested, Gianni said it was his birthday money for all the years they didn't know each other. The balance of Basilio's money was shifted to Gianni's account thanks to Roberto's swift lawyering skills.

Adamo had enough to buy a property or if he wanted or to start up a business, they were set for life and I was pleased. Nina sent us photos constantly with both builds the apartment and the market, Angelo had opened his restaurant and was running both businesses with the help of Stavros and his mates. I wanted so much to go home and see everyone and when Gran and Grandad came back looking ten years younger and homesick, we decided to go. There was nothing else to do here except for making love by the lake which we did plenty of.

It was a powerful goodbye to everyone and they promised to visit, the big house will be locked up but Tinker said he will move in just to make sure it's safe. Sabine told him that he should use it as a halfway house if any of his workers need a place to stay or are in between shifts and cant travel. He will work all that out and the housekeeper will alternate between the two properties because Rosa will be too busy to cook.

Alessio thanked me many times he even managed a grope in the pool which I reciprocated eagerly, my very own personal surfie, but I told him I preferred Gypsy meat, he laughed it was so good to see. He asked if he could move the jet ski to the beach house and that was quite okay with me, his new mates will have fun with it also.

The town folk threw another party for us and in no time we were all being seated on a plane that will take us home. It was the hardest thing I have ever done saying goodbye to Adamo and Roberto, they are my family and I loved them so much and will miss them. Promises were made and they were eager to sit on our walkway with us when they holiday in Australia. I held them for a long time then I kissed both of them then we bordered the flight home.

Gianni was a bit more attentive to me on the way and apart from the bathroom which the boys hogged we found that head jobs were the way to go under the blankets, one could keep watch while the other chomped away. Gran held Lukas most of the time when Alice wasn't looking then Alice would take him and place him back in his bed. It amused me much of the way home because you have to throw Sabine into the mix and what she wanted was law.

Gino and Anna met us at the other end they were very happy to see us all. Anna was bigger and Gino was fitter, he said he had taken up running because as a new dad he had to be fit. Gianni whispered in my ear that Gino had discovered the hole in the wall. I laughed and wondered if he was touching on his Bi side now and then, still.

We didn't stop for coffee, everyone was so jet-lagged all we wanted to do was sleep. Gino had hired a minibus and we dropped gran and grandad off. Then we helped Sabine with her extra luggage then it was Alice and Federico, and then finally us. I couldn't wait to see the new apartment, so after the luggage was hauled up and stowed in both apartments, I went outside and climbed the fire escape. It was enormous all the windows were in. I think it's just the finishes now, but Gianni the boys, and I couldn't get over how much room and light there was. Nina had left a key with Gino so he opened the bi-fold doors and we entered. It was like an immediate reaction, the big family room with kitchen screamed quality. I couldn't explain in words how beautiful and contemporary it looked. The lift well had been made but no lift yet and the gorgeous staircase had been opened up to receive the light from the big windows and had been fully restored.

Five good-sized bedrooms, a powder room, and three bathrooms along with storage come office room. She has done exceptionally well and I couldn't wait to thank her.

After locking up we settled the boys into their apartment and I moved Lukas's cot into our room just until he gets settled back in, and I was also keeping him safe and close by just in case he has night frights. Gianni was standing looking out at the view but I don't think he was disappointed. I think he was happy to be home again and he was taking it all in.

I moved in behind him and kissed the back of his head.

"Do you feel tired baby?"

"Antonio I feel like I could sleep for a week."

"Okay we are going to rest until we get rid of this jet lag, then we will go into work in a few days."

"We should place Lukas in his room."

"Tomorrow baby he might have bad dreams I want him close by."

"I know, it's not him, it's you, it scared all of us baby but he's okay now and when he gets back to his normal routine you will see he's in no danger."

Lukas was fast asleep by the time we undressed, so we didn't have any worries about him being debauched. Gianni made me stand by the bedroom door and he rubbed himself up and down against me, the kissing was awesome and so was the lovemaking. I had a hold of the door frame while he rimmed me into next year. I almost screamed when he entered me, it seemed like a lifetime ago since that happened and I twisted myself into every position until we finally succumbed to our lasting orgasms.

Finally, we got to sleep, we even slept through the workmen going back and forth on the fire escape long into the afternoon. I doubt whether Gino will have company tonight but then again I have been proven wrong many times. We showered and made coffee, my other boys arrived with wine and an invitation to go sit with Gino, I rolled my eyes. Gianni looked at me and I poured my coffee down the sink and grabbed a now awake baby and a bottle of wine, he grabbed the glasses.

Not surprisingly Alice and Federico were seated talking to Gino about her fabulous trip to Italy, she took Lukas immediately and that freed me up to have a wine.

"We have many presents but they are in the container, maybe two weeks away, there were too many to pack in our suitcases, sorry."

"It's okay Antonio, we don't expect anything anyway, just the fact that Gianni has a new cousin come brother is great news for us."

"Yes, that was a good surprise he's a great kid."

"What's with the scarf around your neck Gianni?"

"It symbolizes that I am a great man of many talents, and doors will automatically open for me if seen by the right people."

"So you have joined the Gypsy folk then?"

"Yes, I am the greatest Gypsy of all, and many bow to me now, it's a job I do most proudly."

I nearly spewed as Carlos and Leon were laughing their heads off.

"Your full of shit Gianni, nobody knows who you are here, so cut the crap."

He laughed.

"I am now a full Gypsy prince for real and in line to become a king now Basilio is dead. I get to vote on the council and the scarf and earing combined alert my people to the fact they are dealing with a potential future king of the Gypsy."

"In a nutshell." He added then laughed.

A gorgeous young man arrived in his new van and when he showed himself I jumped up and hugged him. Angelo looked so good, a familiar face I had missed a little (well a lot). He had Gianni's backpack loaded up with cash, a glass of wine was passed to him and he said he had to bring it over he didn't want the responsibility of storing it any longer than he had to.

He told us his restaurant had only been opened for under two weeks, and already he was thinking about expanding it.

Stavros and his mates were helping out in both shops when needed and Nina had her girls cooking up a storm in his kitchen. He smiled so much he nearly had tears in his eyes, he never imagined he would be that popular and thanked us for suggesting the market to launch his dream.

"Antonio if it keeps up like it is, I can pay grandad back within six months, I am so happy."

"Good Angelo you will do very well I know, are your uniforms the same as the café?" He winked at me and said.

"Yes but black tops and sometimes white shorts that show more cleavage." Then he laughed again I was rising because as you know I love a good lumpy crotch.

"The girls told me they are hanging out to leave and explore, you have to hire some staff Gianni as soon as possible?"

"I will be in tomorrow and will talk to Nina and Stavros."

"Good, I will now take Maxie and Tommaso, you will need another three or four staff members."

"We will sort it out tomorrow, I want to start back as soon as possible anyway."

"Good, well I must go I have to get this van printed on."

"What are you doing?"

"The same as Gianni gold lettering `Angelo's' I think that's all I need to say."

"Yes make it simple." I smiled.

"Good see you all tomorrow." He waved and drove off and now we can see across the street again.

"Does the market look good Gino?"

"Yes it's very colorful Antonio." He smiled then added.

"Nina did do a great job it's been cleaned up a lot." Gino smiled.

"All right Gianni, do you want to start work tomorrow, or do you want to wait?" I asked.

"Tomorrow, I am hanging out to meet familiar people again and I must go in because I have to get some more staff organized." He kissed me.

"Is that okay with you Antonio?"

"Yes baby, we have lots to do."

Anna was looking radiant and bursting to have this baby and Gino was looking well, his running is doing him good. I only had a few drinks because the eyelids were drooping so I grabbed our son and took him upstairs. I placed Lukas on the bed then quickly went to sleep.

We had showers and breakfast and after everyone was dressed we all started walking down to the market. The three boys were excited, and I know why Carlos and Leon were in a hurry to get there, they had missed their wines out the back of the shop.

Angelo's blew me away it was almost a clone of Gianni's all sparkly and new, the market had been shifted around some and everywhere I saw colorful banners with fruit and flowers on them and the big glass dome looked magnificent after its clean and restoration. Nina had used the extra space in the middle for six new stalls and the messy tables and chairs had been pushed back into the shops again. When we were talking to Gino and Pat I noticed Cal's store was gone, I didn't ask if they had seen him clear it out.

Maxie, Tommaso and the girls were pleased to see us and when I went to the flower shop Alice and Bianca were catching up, she started by grabbing Lukas and giving him cuddles and kisses. Gianni told the girls he would let them go in a few days. He will give them bonuses, it must have been hard for them while we were away. He told Maxie and Tommaso they could move to Angelo's tomorrow morning and he would look for a couple of casuals. I went to look in Angelo's, it was brightly lit and tables were everywhere there was a desk at the front and a serving counter at the back with a display case full of ready-made dinners and desserts. I was impressed with the uniform and he especially wore his white shorts today and yes they were very pleasing, all lumpy as expected.

The ladies out the back weren't rushed off their feet yet but were preparing food for today so I didn't linger after I hugged them, I knew them by face but not their names.

The tables had fresh white linen on them and he had much the same as Gianni's out the front the two shops blended in perfectly. I looked over at my florist shop and thought how good it looked it's had a new shop front installed, the big doors open it up fully to the market.

Tommaso was showing a guy how to use the coffee machine, he was a mate from his old school that needed work. My two boys had found their old seats and ice bucket and along with Gianni, they had perched themselves at the table to have their first glass of wine for the day. One was poured for me and I downed it then went to survey Angelo's shop further,

"I kept all the wine lift outs from the newspaper for you to look at Antonio, Gianni's wines are mentioned a lot, I thought you both would like a read."

"Thank you Angelo we can have a look tonight."

"And a lady called Iris has rung quite a few times wanting your new wines but I keep telling her they aren't in Australia yet, she's very persistent."

"I will call her sometime today and give her a landing date when I find out. She's the wine expert that started the run on Gianni's wines at the event."

"I thought I had heard her name before, she kept saying she wasn't getting any younger and to let you know that." I laughed she's a bloody funny lady. He went to sit with Stavros and I noticed when he did one of the men got up and went into his restaurant to take over.

Back in the café I asked Gianni about the new guy and he was pleased the boys had hired their friend, he asked them if they knew any other guys that wanted work. Maxie told him to leave it to them, I hope they will all look good in shorts.

I turned and looked at the general state of the market, bright colors were everywhere, it was brighter sunnier and clean looking, Nina has done I again.

My cakes looked delicious so I took one, I had missed them and I sat out the front and waited for the two beautiful women I had spied coming through the market to arrive.

Sabine and Nina were all smiles and she looked like she had slept well.

"Good morning, the boys are out the back if you're looking for them."

"No I will grab a wine and sit with you Antonio, we have some business to discuss."

I looked at Nina and she shook her head and smiled.

"I think she just wants a moment without them, Antonio."

"I get it, you have done an amazing job Nina this place is fantastic."

"Thank you, it was all there but just a little grotty in places, it's all clean and restored to its former glory now, much better I think and the free advertising about the restoration is helping people to come back to market shopping."

"Well you did okay in my book." Sabine came back with a Gianni wine bottle and three glasses, I opened it and poured the drinks. We saluted each other and she was looking at Angelo's and nodding her approval.

"Now let's talk money Antonio?"

"What money?"

"I want to buy your business so you will sell it to me won't you?"

"No."

"Now come on I'm your mother in law, you have to."

"Congratulations by the way Antonio."

"Thank you Nina, please continue Sabine."

"I want to buy your shop and warehouse businesses, I have to have something to do apart from the dress shop."

"You're hired, you start work tomorrow in the Café, but not my shop."

"Thank you, and how did you work out I was looking for a job?"

"I didn't I just wanted to throw you a bone so you won't harp on about buying my businesses, they aren't for sale at any price but we do have a job for you."

"What will I be doing son in law?"

"Washing dishes in Angelo's." I nearly fell off my seat laughing at her face.

"All jokes aside, we can't have you making coffee or serving tables so the obvious is you sell the wines."

"Thank you baby but I'm all set I will open a frock shop in that shop next to Angelo's" She smiled she was only teasing me and it was good to see.

"He's thinking of expanding into it you had better talk to him first." I felt sorry for Angelo.

"Is it for lease Nina?"

"Yes my lovely you will have the contract this afternoon. Antonio the market has a new policy you all have to sign a contract and renew your leases for the new owners, it's pretty normal."

"Nothing's normal about those two what are they up to, and no bull either Nina?"

"They just want to make sure the shops and stalls cant sublet their businesses, it's business Antonio."

I stared at her and thought, what are you up to. Forget the boys I should be watching Nina. When I get the contract I will have a bloody good read of it, anything could be written in it in small print.

Sabine took a good look at the vacant shop and I watched Angelo staring at her, then he walked over.

"Nina you know I wanted that shop, are you letting it out to Sabine?"

"Sorry Angelo you weren't quick enough it's been leased."

He was on the verge of blowing his stack and a few Italian words slipped out, well quite a few actually, a hand rested on his shoulder and Stavros pulled him aside and had a word to him.

He came back and looked at Sabine and said.

"I am very sorry Nona Cartasso, Nina. I forgot my place, please accept my apology it will be awesome to have you as a neighbor."

"Thank you Angelo, there's nothing to be sorry about and of course that's business for you if you don't make split decisions you luck out."

"I will remember that for in the future." He glared at Nina and she went very quiet, then he walked back into his shop. I was surprised at Nina she's usually on the ball, and I felt so sorry for Angelo, then I think the penny dropped.

"Shit I forgot he wanted that extra shop he asked last week when I was so busy I couldn't think straight at the time." Gianni came out to see what the fuss was all about.

"What's happening Antonio, hello Nina, mama, how are you both today?"

"Good son, we were just talking to Angelo he's a spitfire when he gets going," Sabine said.

"I see, so what got him fired up?"

"We are leasing the new shop to Sabine for her dress shop, I forgot he wanted it."

"Mama do you need that shop to be there?"

"Yes Gianni it's near all my boys." She's not thinking straight either.

"And Angelo who has done nothing but is willing and kind to us while we were away has to suck it up. Mama do you want another dress shop?"

"Sorry son I see what you're saying, Nina please take your contract and get Angelo to sign it, I can go anywhere in the market."

"Thank you mama because it's not nice to do business that way here, tongues wag and your little frock shop might not be a popular frock shop when you open it."

"I see what you're saying, go Nina before Angelo starts sticking needles into an effigy of me." Nina took the paperwork and went to find Angelo and to come clean, I hope.

"Thank you Gianni, my grandson will continue to do good business with you, and Madam Cartasso why don't you look at that T-shirt shop next to Antonio's flower shop, it may be to your liking." Shit, I wanted that shop to expand.

"Is it for lease Stavros?" Nina sat down again and asked.

"I believe it is madam Nina." He walked back to his card game.

"Who has the lease on that shop Nina?" I asked.

"He does, expect a hefty rent my friend." She laughed her head off.

When she calmed down she said he held the leases to six of the shops, including mine, and when the boys decided to do new contracts Stavros had threatened them with legal action if his deal was changed. I lifted my hands and looked at Nina then did a ripping paper kind of move, she wasn't happy.

She went off to have another word with Angelo and he came out all smiles.

"You don't mind Nona Cartasso?"

"Of course not Angelo, I forgot that business was done differently here and I apologize to you young man you will do very well here, I am so proud of you."

He puffed up and was all smiles again then Sabine went to talk to Stavros about a shop.

"I am very proud of you Gianni for sticking up for Angelo, I was about to do it, but thank you."

"That is what a prince does Antonio, he makes wise decisions." He grinned. I noticed the new boy and Tommaso were serving a few customers with wines so I took Gianni's hand and said.

"Follow me my prince I have made a wise decision too." I led him into the staff washroom.
