I stared at myself in the mirror for one last time before I pulled in a deep breath and smoothed out my dress. Picking up my golden clutch, I left my room and descended the stairs, knowing Giovanni and Alexander must've been waiting on me.It was all stares and no words where Giovanni was concerned over the past few days, and i simply found it frustrating.As my hands slid down the polished stair rails, I spotted Giovanni coming from a room while he adjusted Alexander’s cuff links.Our gazes held, and I held my breath when I noticed the look in his eyes. Eyes that later explored the slender length of my bodyWhen I was at the foot of the stairs, he approached me, his movements seemingly stiff, before he finally stood before me, his gaze searching my flawless face, which was more beautiful with the subtle makeup I wore.I had my hair pinned, with a few loose tendrils that lingered on the column of my slender neck, and I watched him check me out, like he was studying every inch of me.G
Royalty’s PovGiovanni and I conversation still lingered at the back of my head. It was understandable that he wishes for us to have a stable relationship were not for anyone but for Alexander. To which I honestly agree.Despite not knowing Alexander for long, I had grown to adore him. I mean, who wouldn’t? He was just a little cutie; it was impossible not to love him. And also, I felt like I was taking it out on Giovanni, my anger and frustration, when he wasn’t partially at fault. Instead of trying to build a stable friendship relationship, I tried pulling back, which only resulted in more strain in our relationship.That was why I decided to just go with the flow of everything; I mean, we were already married. It was not like there was anything I could do about it. It would be beneficial for not just me but for him as well if we could both be civil with each other.Letting out three deep breaths, I glance at the mirror, taking in my appearance. My hair was tied up in a ponytail, an
Giovanni came home early tonight, just in time for dinner. I was in the kitchen helping Carolyn prepare the food when he walked in. He had a look of surprise when he saw me chopping off the vegetables, which was soon replaced with an amused look, and I had to fight back the urge to roll my eyes at this.I might not be a decent cook, but I am very certain I know my way around the kitchen. At least I think I do, maybe with a bit of assistance. But still, more than enough to make something tangible or chop off vegetables and the like.“ Gio.” Carolyn called in a form of greeting as he walked over to her, placing a kiss on the side of her forehead."Good evening.” I muttered, expecting to get a greeting back from him, but was surprised when he leaned down to peck my forehead.I felt the butterfly swim underneath my stomach at the feel of his lips on my skin, and though I knew we were only putting on an act, I couldn’t help but feel giddy.I tried not to blush, turning away from Carolyn's
Today I was planning on spending my day with Vicky. We both have been so caught up with our daily lives that we haven’t actually gotten the chance to hang out like we used to, and I sure did miss our time together.I was dressed in a trench coat dress, pairing it with glossy spiked red kitten heels and a matching bag. My hair was tied to the back with two strands on each side of my face, and the makeup on my face was always minimal.When I made my way downstairs, I spotted Giovanni and Alexander, both having their breakfast. Alexander seemed to be in a little world of his own, while Giovanni’s head shoot up at my presence. He gave me an overall look but didn’t say anything."I was thinking of hanging out with Vicky today; we plan on having a little girl’s out, if that is okay with you.” I asked, taking my seat at the dining table."You know you don’t need my permission; you aren’t locked up here.”"I'm well aware of that. It’s not like you could keep me here even if you wanted to.” I
We were both so excited as we stepped into the mall. Looking at the infrastructure of the mall, it was magnificent. We literally bought any clothes that caught our eye and some Victoria’s Secret lingerie, which was Vicki’s idea."Hey, we are planning on having a few get-togethers with a couple of our friends from college next week; you should come." Vicky says, picking up a bag as she accesses it before placing it down and picking up another that caught her attention."That would definitely be a hard pass for me. As much as it's nice hanging out with them, I’m not sure if I'm going to be up for it.""It's a week from now, Roy; why don’t you think about it?" She states. "You can bring Giovanni along if you want to. This might be the perfect time to introduce them to him. I’m sure they are all curious to meet him.”"I don’t know, Vicky.” My brows creased together, unsure. "I doubt Giovanni would be up to attend a gathering of college friends he had no inkling of.”"Never say never. You
It was finally Saturday, and I couldn’t stop the excitement that flowed through my skin. I wore a dark blue jean trouser, pairing it with a white sweatshirt and white sneakers. My hair was straightened and fell to my back with a blue hair pin strapped to the side.I gave myself one final look in the mirror, not being able to stop the smile that made its way to my face, before picking up my phone and mini bag. I began skipping my way downstairs, humming softly to myself.My step halted at the last flight of the stairs when I caught sight of Giovanni and Alexander. Giovanni was on one knee as he helped Alexander knot his shoelace, and I couldn’t help but be swooned at how amazing they looked.Coincidentally, the three of us were matching.Giovanni, just like I was dressed, had on blue jeans and a white sweatshirt; the same was true of Alexander.Despite how casual we were dressed, we did look quite fashionable; it almost looked like we were going for a photo shoot at the amusement park
After driving for at least an hour and a half, we finally stopped in front of the beach. The three of us got off the car, and the sea breeze blew gently.I started to scan the area and was momentarily stunned. The sands were white, and the beach was clean. Upon closer look, i began to see that we were at a small bay. The sunlight reflected against the water, creating a dazzling glare. The seawater was sparkling.It was also a plus that the beach wasn’t at all crowded, which made it easy to wander around.Alexander, who looked at the scene in front of him in awe and excitement, wasn’t able to stop the squeal that left his lips as he ran forward. He stopped just as he reached the water, and the wave rolled to his feet. He takes a step back, with his eyes widened in surprise as he tuned to look at us before racing back to where we stood, grabbing a hold of both Giovanni and mine hands, and the three of us race to the water, with Alexander and I squealing.When we feel the water begin to
Alexander and I spent most of our time watching Marvel superhero movies, while Giovanni was in his office going through some documents. He left right after watching the Hulk with us.But we soon got tired of watching movies and decided to play a game instead."Okay, what do you want to do?" I asked Alexander."Can we play tags?" he replied, and at that moment, Giovanni came to view."What are you guys doing, and are you done with your movie marathon?" He asked curiously."We are about to play tag, dad," Alexander answered."Who's going first?" I asked them."Me, me!" Alexander exclaimed."All right, Alex, let's start the count," Giovanni said, like he was talking to a soldier.Alexander covered his eyes with his tiny hands and started counting. Giovanni rushes off to God knows where. I hated the fact that he had a head start on me.Damn my competitive spirit.I searched around looking for a place to hide but couldn't find a proper place to hide in the living room. I ran upstairs to th
