Impossible Love

Impossible Love 92

Maxieplus.

"Maxie, what's up?"

"I will send Gianni home as soon as I can we have something to deal with here first." Once again I was frozen inside his news was bad. I looked at Gianni and said calmly.

"There has been a fire at our apartment, Maxie and Tomas called the fire brigade and they are putting it out now, you had better go home when we finish here. I will stay here for an hour then head for Sorrento."

"What? how is that possible. Antonio, you must come with me and see."

"No Gianni, and it's possible because they are sending you a message, to not fuck with the Camorra. When they come here just give them the fucking book." I threw it down on the counter then went out the back to get myself a wine.

I didn't know and I didn't care what I was going to do next but I knew I was sick and tired of being the only person in our family that seems to worry about everything important, so what if the house got damaged it can be rebuilt, lives can't. Maxie had said there was no one in the building, and thank god our kids were here at the market today and Sam was with his mum at the cheese warehouse.

"Iris go back to the counter." I walked out and looked at Stavros.

"It may be better if you guys waited in the flower shop just in case we need the cavalry."

It didn't take them long to appear, the smug looks on their faces told me they meant business, I grabbed a bottle of cheap plonk and glasses then walked out the front, banging the bottle on the table I sat.

"Now we fucking talk boys."

I had got them off guard, the smug looks turned into shock when I poured them a glass of wine each, I could see Alice was on the phone to someone, probably Federico, but I didn't care.

"Salute." I lifted my glass and drank, they cautiously did the same.

"Now we talk."

"You like our little show Mr. Antonio?'

"Yes, very impressive but not at all very smart."

"Not smart?"

"Now I have to find somewhere to live and with four babies, it's going to be a bit of a stretch."

"Where is the old woman?"

"I believe she is at her home at the moment, but she doesn't have what you seek."

"What do you know?" I could tell they wanted to kill me for being a smart ass, but there were too many people around the market today.

"I know you are after an old book of names, but maybe I am wrong. Please enlighten this poor peasant?"

"It is the book her mother stole from the germans, it is dangerous for it to exist they are still around, and when they find her they will get it back and reign terror on the families."

"Like you just did to mine, when all you needed to do was to ask."

"We do not suffer games Mr.Antonio, the Camorra make the rules, not the mafia."

"Well, it is your lucky day boys, because you are speaking face to face to the Padrino of the Australian mafia today. Play nice and he will tell you where the book is. And when you get your grubby little fingers on it you will disappear in a puff of smoke, never to be seen again, and please, get out of my country, you have been warned." I played with my earring they knew what it meant and got a double dose today mafia and gypsy.

"Do not play with us, and do not give us orders." He reached into his jacket, maybe he had a gun maybe not. They were angry but I did see some of the boy's silliness in them.

"Antonio can we help?" Leon said.

"Yes, Leon seeing you are mafia you Carlos and Gianni can all man up and deal with this lot. I am done, there has been no contract agreed to, do what you want with them."

I got up grabbed my glass and walked out the back to get the book.

Upon my return Leon was shouting at them and trying to confuse them like he always does, Gianni was fist ready and Carlos was crying.

"Stop it, and stop it right now." I screamed at them all.

"Give us the book that old lady stole and we will go, these mafias are fools."

I lifted my arm and gave him such a backhander on his head with the book he reeled and nearly fell off his seat.

"Have some fucking respect you dogs."

The other one with the gun stood up.

"Look into the flower shop pock face." There was Stavros and his mates with guns in hand waiting for the opportunity.

"Are you both going to make a contract or are you going to be snivelling baby cowards?"

They were still in shock and I lifted my arm again to strike and they both cowered back.

"Okay suit yourselves, I will now call Menowin he will have the names from the book made public, you fuck with me and my family, I fuck with you and yours, let the games begin. Stavros, find a suitable spot and dump these two in the river." They looked scared, and reminded me of two in-laws that do the same thing when caught out, it is all for show and I now have their measure.

I reached into my pocket and took my phone out.

"What's it to be, you get the book and disappear or the Nazi's get their list back?"

They were confused and talked to each other in Italian, it was almost comical but they made a decision.

"Give us the book and we will disappear, a contract is struck with the mafia and is never to be broken."

"And the gypsy?"

"With the gypsy also."

I then threw it on the table. I held my hand up to stop Stavros from interfering.

"The contract is done you have the Padrino's word, now disappear. But before you go remind your fathers that a lot of Mafia and Camorra died in that war, it was not just the Camorra that suffered."

"And Menowin?"

"He will destroy the copy, you have my word."

They looked at the boys and Gianni, it was still a tense situation but I know they will hopefully leave us alone now.

"Tell your grandmother we apologise to disturb her,"

They left just a quickly as they arrived, the book was tucked under the guy's jacket hopefully it will be destroyed immediately.

"Antonio, are you okay?" Gianni said as he held me.

"How is the apartment, have you heard?"

"The fire is out, there is a little damage to our home."

"Well enjoy yourselves cleaning it up." I almost staggered to the florist shop my legs were shaking so much.

"Alice I will pick Lukas up from kindy today, can you help me with the babies?"

"Of course Antonio," She almost bowed to me. I noticed Stavros and his mates were in the back room now, playing with the boys.

"Thank you."

"You are welcome Padrino." I had to have a chuckle so I placed my hand on his shoulder and said.

"Don't you have a card game to organise Stavros. You can't be hanging in here all day, people will talk." I grabbed two babies and walked out to the van. Alice had the other one and a bag of bottles and milk just in case they get hungry on our trip.

"Gianni has the address if you need a break, the kids will love your company."

"Is it all over Antonio?" She asked.

"Yes, my lovely, all over and done with." I drove away without saying anything to the others. Yes, it's all over and done with, and I doubt whether I will ever come back to this market ever again anytime soon, the stakes are too high now.

I drove carefully to the kindy and my boy was waiting out the front with his teacher, he was waving yet another drawing at me as I kissed and cuddled him, then I strapped him in his seat.

"Papa?"

"No Papa today, and guess where I am taking you?"

"To nona's?"

"No, to the beach."

"What beach?"

"Big water like the lake in Italy only bigger."

"Oh." I put a dvd on and they watched without too much fuss, the traffic was horrendous and I nearly lost my cool several times, but when I reached the freeway it was smooth sailing for the next hour. Every time Gianni's image appeared in my thoughts I deliberately pushed it aside, I will deal with him later.

When we arrived I was dog tired but they had to be fed and I had to settle them in, the place was beautiful. Big money had been spent restoring the old thirties deco type holiday house the curves were awesome and a newer bungalow had been installed to the beachside of it. I peered through the curtains and gasped at the view it was so peaceful. Blue-green water greeted me everywhere I looked.

"Stand here baby I have a surprise, bring your brothers." I got them lined up and then I held the cord that will open the drapes.

"Wow, wow daddy look at that, wow." Lukas went off his nut and the babies ran around in circles screaming, they have never seen the ocean before this is a first. I let them get acquainted with it all and wondered if we could use the bungalow instead of the house its nearer to the shore and looked so lovely.

My phone rang and it was Brent.

"Hello Brent, this place is amazing."

"It is, it's the only place in Australia I feel safe in Antonio, I heard how everything went and I am sorry."

"Don't be, in the end, they were as scared as I was."

"Now I'm ringing to say that you can use the house, but the bungalow is a much better option, the babies will be in the same room as you, and I have had the housekeeper stock it and there should be warm food In the oven."

"You didn't have to do all that for us."

"Yes I did, you are our guests and friend so you are treated accordingly. Just enjoy your stay. By the way, if you do see two hunks walking around the property they belong to us. If you need anything just tell them and they will contact the housekeeper."

"I can't repay your kindness Brent, this is awesome."

"You already have my friend, you treat us like normal people."

"Is there any other way to treat you?"

"Several I can think of, but that's not for now."

When we hung up I opened the doors and the sea breeze flowed into the house, I wanted to go see the bungalow. The boys were off and running they were heading to the shore and caught me off guard. I ran after them grabbing little hands as I went.

"Slow down it's not going to disappear."

Lukas was nearly wetting himself and I relented and let him do what he wanted. I sat watching them run for the water then run back as it chased them. Tomorrow I will let them swim, but the spa pool I saw was not deep so I think they will spend a bit of time in there instead.

I picked up a few shells and that started a hunt for more, it's called distracting them. I was handed plenty more and will find a bag, later on, to put them in.

When they looked tired I opened the bungalow and my jaw dropped it was perfect. Just one big room with a large bed up against the wall at one end, the bathroom was huge, and the kitchen as Brent said was well stocked. I turned the tv on and found their cartoon channel and they sat quietly watching while I checked the oven, a fresh pasta bake, they love that.

The table outside was farmhouse style there were no grapevines but there was a beautiful wisteria twisted all over the pergola.

We will eat out here it will be easier to clean up.

I haven't thought about Gianni much since I left the cafe and I didn't want to. My head had calmed down and I was in a good place. I didn't want to start missing him that would defeat the purpose a bit, he has to learn that I can't fix everything for him and his brothers. It was pure adrenalin that made me go for those men in an aggressive way, I was sick to death of playing their games and sick to death of them all.

Stop it Antonio, focus on the here and now.

I heard a knock on the door and looked out the window.

"Mr. Antonio, are you here?" I heard.

"Yes, I am guessing you two are my security guards."

"He is John and I am Mathew, but you can call me Matt and John, John." He laughed his teeth were so white and he had tattoos on his arms, symbols, Maori ones judging by his looks, and the Tiki pendant hanging from his neck sort of gave him away. There were no uniforms just shorts and T-shirts they told me Brent thought they would look more like they belonged there, and the babies wouldn't be scared of them.

"Come in, have you both eaten?"

"No Antonio, we eat later."

"Join us there is heaps of food."

"My god are those yours?" He pointed to the babies who were fully awake and watching my every move. As if I would jump on the first hunk I met, really kids you have to get a life.

"Yes, they are triplets. Antonio is green, Gianni is yellow and Luca is blue today. If you want I can write it down for you and this big handsome man is my eldest son Lukas." Lukas's grin was huge.

"Oh wow, oh wow, what beautiful kids they are gorgeous." Not a word I would use to describe them if I was a six-foot tall piece of muscle meat, but I'm good with that.

"Conner has twins but three is awesome." He was gushing, I figured he was gay or bi either one.

I handed him and John a wine then started making up the big table, I will serve straight from the pan, so I put four bowls out and filled them with food to cool down a bit. Lukas was asking me when his papa is coming, I lifted two fingers and said.

"Two days baby." I figured that would be about right, after he organized my house to be fixed, and extra staff for the cafe.

"Can you both help me feed the boys, Lukas is a big boy he can do himself but the others are a bit of a trial."

"Sure we can."

I cut the pasta up as small as I could the breeze will cool it down some more. My phone buzzed I had a message from Brent.

"Have you met Matty?"

"Yes," I answered.

"So?"

"OMG dont do this to me, I will be wearing concrete boots if I have evil thoughts."

"Me too, but he is nice to look at."

"Yes, and thank you, it's perfect here."

"I know, lolol."

I took Luca who was all smiles and sat him on my lap, the other two didn't make a fuss, in fact little Antonio was all eyes as Matty looked him over. They ate well no arguments today and no food on the floor, I was telling the guys what they were usually like but they didn't believe me.

"They are angels Antonio, perfect little angels."

"You don't have children Matty?"

"No, still trying." John slapped him and laughed.

"He's single and still looking I have two little ones, a girl and a boy." He grinned.

"Wow, you're very lucky to have them."

"I know, I love them to death."

"Do they live around here?"

"No in the city, we are here for as long as you need us, then we will go home."

"Sorry I don't know how long I will be here." I didn't know when I was going back to the city if I ever do. We sat quietly and I showed the babies the sunset it was magnificent. Lukas was getting tired so I dialed Gianni's phone so he could talk to him.

He cried, I cried, the babies talked their heads off on the phone, all of it only gran would understand, but they did cry, they were tired.

I took the phone and said.

"Is there much damage?"

"No Antonio, I am staying in it some rooms are good."

"And the boys?"

"They are with me, Iris and the family apartments got water damage they have to be dried out, Ginos and the kid's ones are fine. I miss you my Antonio so much I am missing you."

"I miss you too Gianni, maybe I will see you in a few days." I couldn't promise him anything I wasn't mad anymore just cooler and disappointed.

"Antonio, I know what happened and I apologize, I am the man of the house and I should be the one to fix it."

"That's the problem, Gianni, you all create it, but you never fix anything it just jumps from one fix to another mess. Anyway, I am not here to fight, I will see you soon, ring the babies in the morning they are falling asleep and need their beds, good night sweet dreams." I didn't wait for him to answer I hung up and grabbed Lukas then put him to bed. They will all sleep with me tonight, nightmares are imminent.

I said my goodnights to the men and let them out, then locked the doors tightly, then I checked the windows. I showered and changed into clean underwear, then went to bed, the babies were all asleep it has been a big day for them. As I watched them sleep I started, it was small at first then it moved onto a waterfall, this is the first night I have spent away from Gianni and I missed him so much.

When I woke I stretched and could have slept all day, but I had work to do, I was one baby short and when I looked over to the tv he wasn't there either, he was sitting by the big sliding door watching the beach, every now and then he clapped his hands. Lukas was up and I had one messy baby and two wet ones. Having no change tables I placed a big towel on the floor and went about fixing them up for the day. The knock on the door only slightly annoyed me but I answered it, Matty and John were there with big grins on their faces.

"Need a hand to get them sorted for the day?"

My shoulders slumped and I welcomed the extra hands, the babies were adamant they wanted to join their brother by the big sliding door.

They grabbed one each and started wiping them down.

"Sorry, guys it sometimes happens and gets a bit messy." I ginned at Matty's screwed-up face.

"It's okay Antonio, I understand but the smell, what do you feed these little guys?" he laughed.

"They eat well, mainly Italian food, the families Italian."

"I will have to cook you a steak one night, you also need meat in your life." He grinned.

"I have enough meat to satisfy me Matty, don't you start giving me any ideas." He blushed and I did the same, what a shocking thing to say.

As it turned out John was the cook and he made us all some breakfast and we sat at the big table under the pergola to eat. The tv hadn't gone on and Lukas was planning a break to get to the sandy beach, but I foiled his plans at every step.

"Let dad finish and I will take you down, go and find your swimmers."

He looked at me very strange because he hasn't ever had bathers before. I smiled and said.

"In the suitcase in the big plastic bag, the blue ones." He ran off to find these swimmers, I had grabbed some from the market yesterday after I found out that this is where I will be staying.

He came back because he loves me to dress him. I stood him on the table and he looked like a champion swimmer after I tied the strings, I wondered if I would still be doing this when he's older, maybe not. I took many photos of them playing in the sand, the babies were content to sit under the shade in the nude, they started their shell collection and John was showing them how to build a sandcastle, which they destroyed at every turn. Lukas screamed so loud I thought he would lose his voice, Matty had taken him in the water and as the waves crashed over them he protected my boy with his awesome body, I took more photos.

I sent the best ones to gran and Gianni, then Sabine, but not the boys they can suffer a little longer, I'll teach them to dismiss me so casually.

When Lukas came out I wrapped a big towel around him and he shivered while I warmed him up, he wasn't cold I think that's something all kids do at the beach.

"Have some juice baby and then ring nona." His eyes widened as I passed the phone over, he knows how to find her number.

At seventy miles an hour he hit that call running, half Italian half English he rattled on for a half an hour. I smiled at John and Matt and said.

"His nona."

I pulled him off the phone and let the babies have a go who knows what they were saying but I did get a daddy mention and Gianni got a papa.

I threw caution to the wind and talked to her, she started crying on the phone, and again I was drawn back into her warm arms. She said over and over again she was sorry, and we have to have a big talk when I get back home tomorrow. I told her not tomorrow maybe next week.

"Such nonsense Antonio, be home by the weekend or this old grandmother will come and get you all." She's back.

I hung up and Lukas has moved to the small pool with John, I was disappointed because both of the men had board shorts on, doesn't anyone wear speedos anymore? Well, I have a pair of yellow ones that will knock their socks off. I went to change and checked that I had no bits showing then grabbed a towel and walked outside.

"Daddy daddy." I took little Luca off Matty and bobbed him up and down.

"It's an Italian thing John, boardie's never caught on in Italy." He was referring to my skimpy bathers, I don't see anything wrong with them at all.

The babies were bobbed up and down, their arms splashed about making big waves.

"Watch this Lukas, are you ready?" His head bobbed up as Matt flipped a switch and the bubbles started. Screaming, for the next ten minutes, they all screamed as the spar pool came to life.

I picked my phone up and there were messages, Giannis was.

"Who is those men Antonio?"

"Matty and John my bodyguards."

Sabine's was full of pleases, will I please get the children to ring her, would I please ring her she has something to tell me, please be careful, who are those men?

It rang.

"Antonio, it's Maxie here. Listen, firstly I hope you are having a great holiday. I have held Gianni back, but he's going bat shit crazy here. I think you should not send him any more photos of you with your current lovers." I could hear Gianni laughing in the background.

"I can't talk Maxie, but I get it, hold him off for as long as you can."

"I will ring later." He answered.

"No, I will be busier later." Then I let out a loud moan.

"Antonio, Antonio?" I hung up, fuck them I can enjoy myself as much as they can enjoy tormenting me.

"Shit stirrer," Matty said.

"It doesn't hurt to stoke the fire."

"He must be some guy."

"He is." I didn't want to say too much, but later in the day when the babies were napping, I opened a bottle of wine then showed him some photos and one small movie, not a nudie one just one of Gianni with the babies at the park.

"So what happened to bring you here?"

"It's a bit complicated. My grandmother has many secrets, my husband has secrets and his two brothers are behind all my problems. They seem to think they can cause trouble and I will clean it up for them all. Gianni keeps saying he's the man of the house but when the crunch comes, he drops his load and I get to pick up the pieces. Secrets so many secrets they all keep from me and expect me to accept that I am only a decoration not worthy to be told anything important. In fact, they go out of their way to continuity shock and many times belittle me."

"So why do you stay?"

"Good question and I will find the answer here without their annoying games, hopefully."

"What are we talking about here, troublemakers or just boys playing men?'

"Boys playing men, they are mafia."

"Mafia?"

"Yes they are mafia and I am the ignorant housewife."

"Phew." He let his breath out.

"Tell me about the Tiki?" Change the subject.

His hand slid slowly up his enormous chest stroking a nipple on the way and he touched the little jade effigy.

"It means many things, but for me, it represents clarity, clarity in everything I do, a clear pathway through life without any problems. It means strength to the wearer, inner peace and wisdom."

"I have many tokens at home, I married a gypsy prince and for a wedding present, we got many lucky charms that ward off evil. I love them so much and the boys have them all around their room."

"I thought your husband was mafia?"

"He thinks he is, but he is second in line to become the gypsy king, his cousin is first and that little mop of dark curly hair is the third in line. I am gypsy royalty by marriage only, I do not have gypsy blood in my veins."

"Your majesty, if I may be a little forward?"

"You may." I giggled.

"Your charms don't seem to be working."

I laughed my head off, he was right they don't work, but it's the thought that counts.

"Maybe I had better buy a Tiki then." He lifted his hands to unhook his I stopped him.

"Don't do that, it is yours it belongs to you, it won't work on me. I will get my own, I can do with all the clarity I can take at the moment so I will get one, but thank you Matty." I have often wondered what they were for, but when I started reading about them when he left there were so many things they represented. I will get one, and soon I think.

Naps, more plays swims in the pool and an exploration of the garden kept them busy today. I got the men to look out for them and went for a shower then I lay down in the cool and had a nap myself, I must do something about dinner, lunch was supplied in the guise of salad rolls John had brought from the local shop. He said we will have fish and chips tomorrow, the kids love chips.

I slept for a few hours and felt a lot better when I woke up, this distancing thing is doing me good. I laid there and checked my phone, there were some silly messages and some not so silly. Gianni said the insurance will pay out and he has Nina onto doing the rebuild. I sent a message back and told him he had done well, that's all I could say, so I shut it off. Matty came in to get the kids a cool drink, he looked at me and groaned.

"Don't even think about it, I have enough drama in my life as it is."

He walked over to me and bent down, I got a gentle kiss on the forehead then he spoke in his deep voice.

"I have to go and do some work." he smiled.

Matty is just a pleasant distraction, he's no Gianni Cartasso mafia gypsy whatever he is. I guess he's mine I'm stuck with him.

It didn't bother me that Matty wanted to kiss me I wanted it also and I needed it, but I didn't crave anything deeper than a gentle peck.

One was throwing stones in the pool and John was throwing them back, the other was having a cool drink and the next was sun-baking fast asleep but on a big towel in the shade, my eldest has discovered some pencils and was doing one of his masterpieces at the table, so I sat with him.

"What is that baby?" I pointed to one sort of stick man.

"Papa."

"And that is?" pointing again.

"Papas car daddy."

So it's all about his father I had better ring and tell him to get his ass down here fast.

The men went off for an hour and I cooked some spaghetti, we all ate well, the kids had a big day and again went to bed early, I suppose they will be up early too. I talked to the men for a while then they left to do something so I grabbed a vino and walked onto the beach. The sunset was awesome and so was the wine, I sat and thought about it all again. They should have included me from the start. I did allow him to say something on the way to grans, but once again nothing was offered, and Leon, he was the worst offender. I was watching a lone figure walk up the beach, probably one of the neighbours out for a stroll, and I was annoyed he had disturbed my peaceful spot. He stopped about twenty meters from me and stripped bare, he was completely naked by the time he arrived.

"The kids will be happy."

"And not you Antonio."

"I am very happy Gianni, and ready for anything you might like to throw my way. He started kissing my neck and licking my ears and he took me back again to a lake in Italy, where he made love to me for the first time. My nipples were on fire as he sucked on them and my legs were suspended around his hips as he made his way inside. Then he gently and rhythmically started moving to the sound of the crashing waves. I cried so much I couldn't scream with want, all I could do was to make choking noises in his ear, he had taken me back and I wanted this moment to last for an eternity. Gianni is an enigma in some ways, when I thought he was peaking he surprised me by pulling out and straddling my waist, he came all over my face, my tongue was working overtime trying to lap it all up. He finished and sat back for a moment and after we caught our breath he said.

"Now me." He moved back and I slipped inside, pretty much he did the same as I did, and I certainly did the cum on face thing while he moaned for more. Make-up sex is so awesome.

We lay there for ages and he drank out of the bottle while I still had my glass.

"We are all very sorry Antonio, please forgive us."

"Your forgiven, after that amazing ride Gianni, your brothers are a problem still. But I will find some for them, eventually, as Lukas did."

"Good because at the day's end they really do love you, and their need to protect you gets them in trouble more than once."

"I know, but in the future, if they dismiss me again I will wipe the floors with them." It started in his stomach and moved to his mouth, his laughter was so familiar and he had done his job he got me back within one hour.

"Gianni, can you do something for me?"

"Anything my love anything."

"Please do that again."

"What?"

"Make love to me." He did and it was just as good as the first time, my ass was aching for a different reason than your thinking, it was aching for more Gianni.

When he slipped into bed he pulled Lukas over to rest on his chest and I heard.

"Papa." Then I heard a gentle little kid snoring.

It was the screaming that woke me, Gianni had four little ones crawling all over him when I opened my eyes, it was a bit sad because I was on my own and my ass was itchy.

"Look daddy Papas here."

"Yes he came to see you last night but you were asleep. I told you two days."

"Yes daddy two days I think." It was two and a half but he doesn't have to know that.

"Okay you lot what are we going to do today, what have you found for me to look at?" Gianni said.

"The babies made noises and pointed, it was Lukas that spoke.

"Beach papa, swim pool bubbles papa, lot of bubbles some garden but not Lukas's his is at Nonas."

"Yes it is at Nona's place waiting for you, now do you want some breakfast?"

"Milk first poppa."

"Okay milk coming up, and Antonio coffee for you. Stay there I have not finished with you yet." he winked, I went to the toilet and jumped back into bed just as the coffee arrived.

"We cant Gianni the kids."

"They are watching tv, now please suck me."

I did my husbandly duties and he came like a racehorse, where does he get all that stuff from?

He organized me with two fingers in my special place pumping away, and I surprised myself because I also had copious amounts. That will be it until this evening, and it will all start over again, on the beach if I am lucky.

He jumped out of bed and went to the toilet I looked outside and spied the men sitting at the table.

"Good morning boys, did you have a good night?" They giggled.

"Not as good as yours Antonio, even I wanted to join in." John smiled.

"You saw us."

"We watched for a minute or two," Matty said.

"Ummm." I wasn't impressed.

"Well for fifteen minutes actually," he added.

"That's better, it didn't feel like a few minutes." I laughed and went to grab the coffee pot. When Gianni came out there was a stand-off, he was introduced, and after the handshakes, he stood staring.

I started to giggle as Matty asked what was wrong.

"I think your sitting in his seat." He looked up at Gianni then slid over on the bench seat.

"That is better, and next time you get it into your head that my Antonio could be a possible lover for you, lost that thought immediately please."

Matty started laughing his head off and when he settled down a bit he looked at me and pointed his thumb at Gianni.

"He's the handful?"

"You better believe it." They then started talking about the gypsy and I think Gianni was impressing them, he loves to talk, especially about himself.

I giggled silently and then I checked the boys out they were happy to loll around having their holiday by the beach, and now their papa is here everything was okay in their world again.

I made another coffee and John made some egg and bacon rolls, Gianni was impressed and I think they liked my man a lot.

On a few occasions while Gianni prattled on Matty did look him up and down a few times, and did I see some wood in his shorts. Yeah that's right Matty take my husband on, your in for a big shock my good man. He will take you to the stars and back then dump you for a good glass of wine while you are still wondering what just happened. That's the way I felt this morning and if Matty feels even a pinch of what I'm feeling he will understand what his Tiki really means, love.
