Impossible Love

Impossible Love 57

Maxieplus

I said my good mornings to everyone who seemed to have congregated outside the café, I think they were expecting the babies to be with me. Stavros made me a coffee and sat with me and Angelo while the kids started work, he said he has the takings and will hand them over before he leaves. I told them Gianni will be home tonight and thanked them for their help. I also passed over a couple of hundred to Stavros but it wasn't enough there were three of them working yesterday. I laughed, some things never change.

Angelo offered his waiters again and I said I will sing out if I need help and Alice was one woman up so she also offered. We were all holding it together and I heard no complaints from anyone which made me very proud to have such a good bunch of friends.

I did the boxes and empty bottles then I checked in on Lukas, the Tv was going so he was happy then I talked to the staff about the babies as far as I could tell there won't be any problems from tomorrow onwards. I also told them I will organize a bonus for them doing all the extra work. I will also get to Angelo's waiters and give them a good tip also, no, not that sort of tip a money one.

"How is Remo going Angelo?"

"Good Antonio, the ladies are filling his head with recipes, he will be in tomorrow. They have started destroying the old part and will begin the shops soon I think, maybe they will be finished when he leaves school."

"They should be ready by then hopefully. Thank you for your help baby what can I do for you?"

He placed his finger on his mouth and smiled.

"You don't want that kiddo, I may never pull off you."

He laughed and walked his sweet ass out of the café.

I will at some stage do something nice for them all, but for now, I am excited my man is coming home.

Iris arrived and we had a coffee she said she won't advertise the café anymore it made her too busy and her feet were so sore.

"Go and get yourself a pair of loafers they are cheap here at the market and much more comfortable, not fashionable but a must on these concrete floors."

"I will do that sometime soon Antonio, your man will be home tomorrow do you still want me to come in?"

"Yes, but only if you're feeling up to it, create your own times, two hours three four it's up to you. If you don't want to continue just let me know."

"Okay I will work around the four hours, and did your housekeeper turn up?"

"Yes thank god, and thank god for gran and Alice I doubt whether I would have coped without them."

"We did well yesterday so I had better get to it and relieve Ted he's looking like he's way out of his depth."

"Yes he's good with the tables and coffee but the wines are Gianni's deal he needs to get someone in that knows their stuff." I winked at her. I didn't want to use Iris up she doesn't need the work she's bloody wealthy.

If ever I needed anyone in my life at the moment it would be Gianni, he is the man of the house but he's also my rock, and I have missed him so much. We had a smooth day and my nerves were on edge when I got back home with Lukas. The place was dead quiet Gran and grandad with Angie were sitting outside in the sun. I resisted disturbing the boys and headed in their direction. I sat down with them and the first question I asked was.

"How was the day?" Gran took Lukas and cuddled him Angie answered me.

"Fine Antonio they are sleeping and I must say they are the most well-behaved babies I have ever seen, they have been fed so give them six to eight hours before they wake up again."

"Thank you all did you do the capsules grandad?"

"Yes son, your good to go I won't stay the night I have banking to do, and have you done your shop and Giannis money?"

"No, the money is still in the packs."

"Hand it over and I will record it for you." He loves counting my money.

"We haven't even talked about wages Angie what are you asking?"

"Just five hundred a week with food and board Antonio, if that's too much we can barter a bit." She smiled.

"Good I will talk to Gianni and see if it's enough."

"Cash please I don't want my ex getting his claws into it."

"Okay cash is good, is he annoying you?"

"Not yet but I am expecting a bit of a fight, although there's not much property to argue over he cleaned out my bank account before he left, he does have a very lucrative business we both own so I expect him to be hiding money away."

"Well good luck with that if you need a hand Stavros is your man."

"I will be talking to him soon." She grinned.

I didn't want to have wine because I will be going to the airport later on so I might have a nap instead.

"I have food in the oven and if the kids come up there's take away for them in the fridge. I will go home because I have things to do but I will return later on Antonio." Gran said.

"Thank you gran, but I think we can cope with it now the boys will be back they know about babies and Sabine will be here to help."

"Okay I may get a good night's sleep I didn't sleep well last night but I will be here tomorrow morning." I suppose she kept one eye open last night in case the babies woke.

"I would like to get them in the routine of all eating separate but because they are identical they may resist," Angie said.

"Good luck with that." I smiled.

My stomach was jumping as I saw Leon rush out of customs followed by Carlos, they ran up to me and I was swept off my feet and kissed wildly.

"We missed you Antonio," Carlos said.

"I missed you guys too, it hasn't been that long but it feels like months." I saw Sabine and Tony come through and they headed my way, I was also grabbed by them and I welcomed them home. Gianni was next he stopped and dropped his bag then I broke away and ran towards him, he gathered me up and kissed me deeply, then he looked me in the eyes and I could see he was happy to be back.

"God it's so good to see you guys." I was tearing up and as Gianni pulled me into his big arms I leaned back and kissed him again.

Leon had found a trolley and was stacking suitcases onto it, Sabine would have the most and I believe she was staying the night, although I argued with her to go and have a good night's sleep.

"How are the boys are they eating well, did they sleep through the night?" All sorts of questions were asked as I took Leon's hand and Gianni's then walked them out to the van. It was a squeeze because of the capsules and Lukas's seat but we managed to get everyone in, my hand was stroked and held on the way back home.

The lift took the suitcases with Carlos up first then us. Angie, Maxie and Tommaso were feeding the babies Lukas was well and truly asleep. Gianni was the first to take one and he kissed him then looked him over, he placed the bottle into his mouth and finished the feed. Sabine took Maxie's and talked to him in Italian the tears started around about then. I went to make coffee, then I introduced Angie to everyone.

She said the gran has rung twice but not for the last hour she may have gone to bed early. I kept looking at Gianni, he was awesome and I was rising, absence does make the heart grow fonder. Tony got him and Sabine settled into a bedroom. He rang Iris and spoke to her for a while. I opened a wine and started pouring them Gianni Leon Carlos and myself were the only ones having one, the rest abstained.

They had finished up their meals and were burped then changed, Gianni wanted to do all three but Angie told him to slow down and enjoy the silence.

I suppose they will get a little noisy when they decide they can manipulate us all.

"I suggest they be placed back in bed Antonio, the more they are played with the more awake they will become."

"Thank you, Angie, I will help."

Nup not helping tonight Sabine and Gianni have this.

I stared at Gianni and he made a sad face when the boys decided that they were going to sleep with us. I guess this is the start of sneaking around and making love in all sorts of places, I even considered a run to the park I was so horned up. The babies went back to sleep and Angie went to shower and go to bed, she had moved her stuff in and was pretty organized there were monitors in her room and ours so one of us will hear them if they stir.

I took our group out to the balcony and the kids went home they were excited but bushed. I have to talk to Gianni and maybe hand out bonus's later in the week, but a talk is best first before I do anything. I wasn't allowed to sit on my own I had to back up to Gianni on the lounge, Sabine and Tony sat at the table with Leon and Carlos. Gianni was smelling my neck and now and then he would kiss it,

"I missed you so much you will come with me next time."

"I will husband and hopefully we will have more notice."

"Antonio, I don't want the boys sleeping with us tonight."

"I will work something out."

"I'm sure you will." He kissed me again.

They were all coming down from their flight and droopy eyes were seen.

"Sabine if you hear the boys please don't get up try and sleep, Angie and I have this."

"Okay Antonio, but if you need me come get me."

She and Tony said their goodnights and went to bed, I had five in my bed tonight. Carlos backed up to me and Gianni gave me a full frontal with extra padding while Leon cuddled Lukas. I had no idea what I was going to do but something had to be done. When I thought they had gone to sleep I lifted my head and Gianni smiled so we took it to the bathroom.

The sex was amazing and he was more than willing to do everything and anything to get us off. I wanted more he wanted to sleep, so we ended it and went back to bed. Three minutes later Leon and Carlos disturbed my sleep and left for the bathroom, Lukas slept on.

I slept like a baby in Gianni's arms I had missed him dearly and I know he missed me. I didn't hear the babies until around five-thirty and when I pulled my shorts on I then went out to the family room. Angie was in control, she had two babies in her arms and the other was in his crib with a bottle propped up against his face. She smiled and said she would love a cup of coffee, I thanked her.

She had finished one bub and handed him over to me for burping and picked the other up to help with his bottle. I then relaxed because she does know what she's doing, but it takes so long because they keep going to sleep on her. I was giggling at them when Gianni came out in his jockstrap. He immediately took one and started burping him, spew went down his bareback and I started wiping it off slowly because I wanted to perve also.

Sabine looked like she had been hit by a Mack truck she was so messy first thing in the morning.

"If you take one photograph Antonio I will kill you on the spot." She changed baby number one and played with him gently. He was dispersed into his crib and placed back in the room, with number two she did the same and three took his time because he wanted to greet his daddy.

"You have Luca, he's a bit slower than the others." I smiled. Gianni grinned as one of his balls and dick dropped out of his strap. I looked sideways at Angie and she was silently giggling.

"Sorry," Gianni fixed himself up.

"It's okay I have seen them before."

Leon and Carlos arrived in the nudo and after making a fuss went to put something on, but they took their time, the need to show off wouldn't allow them to cover up straight away.

The babies were settled in and the next one was up and firing.

"Papa!" he screamed as he ran into Gianni's arms tears so early in the morning from both parties and many kisses rained down on his beautiful face. It took him some time to acknowledge his Nona and his uncles but he did the same thing, I think he missed them all, a lot, but he missed his poppa the most. No TV this morning just cuddles and talks about what they had been doing.

I fished out some eggs and bread to feed him and will make grans scrambled eggs for him if I can remember how, I need Maxie up here to do it, he knows. I was all eyes as I cracked an egg and now Angie has the gist of who's who and what they are like first thing in the morning. Sabine finally got Lukas and she spoke to him in Italian which he understands, Tony arrived kissed her then Lukas then went to make coffee.

Angie thanked everyone for their help and Gianni and the boys for her lovely wake-up show, then she went to shower. Lukas finally sat with his eggs and toast with his daddy and they watched TV together. Leon and Carlos were looking at me and smiling.

"Do it yourself, or better still get gran to teach you how to cook."

"We missed you the best Antonio." Carlos melts my heart.

I did some more eggs and toast how could I argue with them they are jet-lagged. Maxie came to my rescue a few minutes later then Sabine and Tony left to go shower.

Angie came back and took over I suppose it's a part of her job description to cook breakfast.

"I hope this isn't the norm every morning."

"No," Leon said.

"Good."

"There's usually more." He laughed his head off as Angie smiled I think she's going to fit in just fine.

"We have to discuss a few things Gianni do we take the boys into work with us or leave them at home?"

"I want to fuck you first." I wasn't thinking about that.

I took his hand and led him to the bathroom where we had a very nice catch up then a shower.

"Did the cafe do well while I was away?"

"Yes, your money has been recorded and stored grandad did all that for you," I told him what Iris had done and he was impressed, he said he caught up with Matteo's family and his vineyard will grow after he has bought some more land in his area. James, Matteo's friend, worships him and he's now thinking his impossible love is very possible and he sends his love.

When we arrived back gran and grandad were there she is helping Angie today and looked a lot fresher and relaxed. She looked at me and said.

"You go to work we have it all organized here."

"Yes gran, Sabine are you going in?"

"Yes Antonio, I need to get the money off Stavros and check that Iris is okay doing her job."

"She's fine, she has the same deal as Alice and Bianca if she feels the hours are too long she can shorten them. I think it's just something for her to do during the day."

"She's sick of the dinners and meetings Antonio, you have thrown her a lifeline," Tony said, I laughed.

"She's actually like a pig in shit Tony, she's loving it."

"She will be a good asset to you Gianni and I know you will be busier than ever. It seems like everything my gran touches turns to gold."

"Mine too Tony, she's a real gem." I looked at gran who was blushing.

"Okay, who's coming and who is staying?" I said.

Everyone put their hands up and started to get ready, except Angie and gran they will man the nappies.

"I want to fuck you again Antonio."

"How about tonight we lock the bedroom door."

"Okay, I am now looking forward to it."

Maxie and Tommaso came with us to work, no Lukas today he's staying home to watch TV with grandad.

Sabine went to her shop I looked for Alice but she wasn't in yet and I opened the café leaving Gianni and Angelo hugging each other, did he linger?

They took their time catching up and the crew came in and welcomed him back, so I started work while the boys began filling the fridges.

"It's good to be back Antonio, I missed this place," Leon said as I passed by.

"You missed the free wine more."

"Did we?" My Carlos said. I laughed at his face and went to get rid of the empties. People were already lined up for coffee and some tables filled up,

"Where is Alice I need to see her?" Gianni was looking out the doorway.

"She won't be far away, she's probably visiting the babies before she comes in."

"How is Roberto's mama going with the manor house?" I added.

"She is loving it Antonio, she's already booked solid for two years and rising I hear. I had got us coffee and was eyeing off the cakes but it was too early. Stavros and his mates started up and Gianni wanted to meet with him and have a talk.

I sat out the front and Gianni came back at last, so I ordered fresh coffee for us both.

"How much do I owe you Antonio?"

"Nothing baby everything to do with the café has been paid and I will give the kids something extra for helping out but I needed to talk to you also."

"I owe you fifty thousand for a start so we can add the rest onto that."

"There is no rest Gianni, and no you don't owe me anything I have already taken what is owed from your stash, grandad will have noted it in your accounts."

"Is there anything you need?"

"No, just you."

"Well your man is back and ready to go anytime you want." I laughed and said, nothing's changed.

Nina will be in soon, I guess thats why the boys are hiding out the back, either that or they have opened a wine. Alice arrived with Lukas he had decided he wanted to see his daddy again and yes more tears. The boys came out with glasses in hand, they hugged her when Gianni let her go. She said she had been to see the babies, they were still sleeping, and when Lukas saw her he had insisted she take him into work gran didn't protest much.

It was a different day today and I did get to speak to Gianni about bonuses and Angie's wages, he thought five hundred was too little and he will also organize a card for her in case she shopped for the boy's, or food.

"Antonio, we have to get gran one also she has been buying Lukas's stuff and our food for ages now, she must have her very own card."

"I agree now we have Angie she doesn't have to clean or cook anymore but she will do it anyway, a good wage and a card we will both go in for that."

"If you want Antonio but I think the Cartasso business should pay it's their apartment after all." He grinned. Great idea baby, see I don't know anything about hiring housekeepers.

"Next time you go to the bank can you get them organized?"

"Yes I will be going tomorrow Antonio, I want you to come and watch the show."

"Okay."

"They will be falling over themselves to help me and you should check your balance while you're there, you will get the same treatment."

Nina arrived and the boys hugged her and she got the same greetings they had missed her, bloody sucks.

She sat out the back with them while Gianni and I stood behind the counter with Iris, she had invested in a pair of slip on loafers and looked more like a shop assistant. Gianni sold and Iris explained wines to anyone that looked undecided, I wrapped and took the money. At one stage I noticed a small boy leaning on the front door and rushed to pick him up, he had escaped because he wanted to see his daddy again. He leaned over and nearly fell into Gianni's arms just as a customer walked in. She kissed touched and talked to him then bought a case of cheap plonk, our kids going to be a salesman. Alice came in looking for him and I couldn't scold her because this kid is so quick. My heart ached all day and the happiness of having everyone home again was enormous.

I will buy a door buzzer so they know someone has entered the shop or left. While Iris sold wines we sneaked out the back, Nina had taken the boys upstairs to do some market work. Boy, that husband of mine is a great kisser he wouldn't stop and I finally had to put a stop to it because Iris called us back. Another round of customers and there was a lull.

We opened a wine and got an ice bucket to toast his homecoming, Iris poked her head in and rolled her eyes so I poured her one also.

I made sure she sat down often and she only had the one wine when she said.

`I'm thinking about renting your bottom apartment Antonio, I want to hand the house over to Tony and Sabine."

"What??"

"I'm thinking I may move out of home, I hear you maybe have an opening for another Nona so I'm applying for it."

"Why would you move out of your beautiful home to move into a smaller place?"

"Because underneath it all Antonio I am a country girl, I have always yearned to live in a community, I don't have one where I am and I know the kids will look after the house."

"Iris you are more than welcome to move in it's big for us but small for you."

"I will have a housekeeper Antonio, and to be truthful I have never felt so alive now I know you all and call you friends. I am a bit like Alice in a way I am over the stairs and the few out the front won't bother me but the house ones are getting too tiresome."

"A lift?"

"Got one never use it."

I laughed at her and she asked who my agent was. I told her he was me and if she is willing to pay cash in hand she's welcome to it at a discounted price. We shook hands and the smile on her face was priceless for the next two hours. I guess she is a bit lonely and she doesn't want to intrude on what Tony and Sabine have, Sabine will be happy she will be the lady of the house, I hope she finds the lift.

"I don't know why she would want to downgrade Antonio, her place is so much better than the apartment." Gianni was confused.

"I think she is lonely baby, and the flat is closer to the market and the club she will get some exercise walking with us and she will come in handy with the kids."

"Okay but I still don't understand."

"No you only understand manly things, shes lonely bored and in need of some company that's all, she may not like it and move back home but for now she's going to give living in a community a fair go."

"Do you want to accompany me to the bathroom?"

"Sure thing it's been ages since I have played with a real man."

"Gianni, customers," Iris yelled he groaned and I laughed.

The boys came back and opened another wine to sit out the front, I joined them and they were asking all sorts of questions about the market renovations then they were telling me about Matteo's small vineyard.

"He is looking for more land and grow his grapes for the family, he won't start up a winery just the growing he likes the best," Leon said.

I missed having him around and if it wasn't for him falling in love with me he would still be here I think.

Iris said her goodbyes and I walked her out the back to catch her cab home, she was much better today and said she was going home to cancel some meetings and luncheons she was over it. Gianni was on the phone to Tinker he has another shipment to send and everything there had settled back to business as usual. He wanted to know when we are all going over for a holiday, bloody hell I just got him back I don't want him going over again so soon.

I got my chance after I cuddled the babies and gran fixed Lukas up with a snack, to talk to Leon and Gianni about Matteo's new man. They told me he's is besotted with him and he thought they had a strong bond and Roberto had sent his thanks for the money we had paid him for the job, but it wasn't necessary now Sabine and Ramone have shifted some more accounts over to him. I think they were a bit wary of Roberto at the start but now they feel they could trust him, and he is family. He's never been happier and Adamo is his forever mate.

The babies were once again put to bed and I took two bottles and we all went downstairs to sit for a while.

Maxie and Tommaso were there and they talked and laughed their way through a bottle of Fanta about cute babies, they had bought the biscuits and cheese down and we nibbled on them. Sam was being very cute today he was smiling at everyone and much more aware of his surroundings. Alice had Lukas who was sitting on her knees, they were discussing their day, and I did pick up a few words and I must talk to him more in English.

Gran and Grandpa had left when we got home to go get some rest, and Angie was in charge of the boys I wondered if she wanted the night off maybe but I suppose she will ask. I know we are all going to the club Saturday night so she and the babies will come with us.

I have to buy another stroller that keeps three babies but the boys said to leave it to them. God only knows what they will come up with. I wanted to take them into the shop tomorrow I have an idea to introduce them to our world. Gino said he has sold out of the flower pots and will pick up some more tomorrow he's doing well with them.

"Iris is moving in." announced

"Good another babysitter," Anna said.

"Why is she doing that she has a magnificent house Antonio?" Gino asked.

"She's bored and wants people around her again, so she's rented our ground floor flat." I smiled.

"It's you Antonio, she wants to be closer to you," Gianni said.

"Why would she want that?'

"She loves you and your quirky ways she said you're a ball of laughs when she's around you."

"I see, so she loves watching me get mad at you bloody lot."

"Precisely." He grinned.

Angelo turned up he is on his break and thought he may come and sit for ten minutes. I passed him an envelope to hand out to his staff, a thank you bonus for them. He was impressed as he handed Maxie and Tommaso a fifty each, he didn't argue because he knows he won't win.

"Are you all going to the Italian club tomorrow night?"

"We will be there Angelo with the babies." Gianni smiled he is dying to show them off.

We had more wine on the balcony and Angie had one with us, I told her we were taking the babies to work tomorrow and asked if gran is going to be around. She gave me a scornful look of course gran will be around. I was going to put their carry baskets in my window and make a sign introducing them to the market world. She thought that would be a great idea and she can do some shopping at the same time.

"We have the bank tomorrow."

"I forgot about that, well maybe the next day then."

"We have the club." Gianni is now my secretary.

"Take some time off anyway Angie if grans around you should get a few hours to yourself anyway.

"You don't mind, I have to buy something for Saturday night and some new bras."

"Both the grandparents will be here tomorrow so take some time off."

"Okay, I will then if the boys are settled."

Leon and Carlos did the bottles tonight and the kids stayed for dinner, they helped out and Angie sat with me and watched them.

"I should be doing that Antonio. I should be doing a lot more than I do your gran does the cleaning but I help with the beds and washing I feel I'm using her to do my job."

"Just go with it Angie, she doesn't mind and it makes her feel useful and in charge." I sniggered.

"I know what you mean and she's a lovely old lady I wouldn't ever try and put her nose out of joint."

"Tomorrow we are going to organize a card for you and her to use for shopping for the boys, gran will use hers for food I hope. She knows what we like and if there anything you want to cook just give her a list." i smiled.

"Have you spoken with Stavros yet?"

"Tomorrow Antonio, I will try and get some advice off him, my ex is a real charmer and I know he's hiding money from me."

"Well if anyone's going to find it Stavros is your man he can smell money from miles away." I chuckled.

I felt the kiss, Gianni was back from settling Lukas in, and dinner was ready so we moved to the family room. The boys have outdone themselves the table was full of dishes.

"Thank you boys this looks lovely." I smiled.

The wine was produced and we dined into the night quietly, I looked at my man and he leaned in and said.

"When we finish make a dash to the bedroom and lock the door so we are alone." I winked at him.
