"I'd be lying if I said you make me speechless, the truth is you make my tongue so weak it forgets what language to speak in"~ Rupi Kaur I sit uncomfortably in my seat, I look outside the window, we are about to land in a few minutes, I squirm again, my lower body is aching lowly.It's not a sharp pain but more of a discomfort, I just want to lay down.A warm hand is placed over my own, I look up at Salvatore's concerned brown eyes."I'm sorry, I should've been more gentle with you" he rubs my cheek with his knuckles, I hum at his touch.I grab his hand on my cheek with my other one, holding it there, "I'm fine, just a little discomfort" I assure him.He doesn't seem to believe me, Salvatore was really gentle and caring, I won't lie, the experience was painful at the beginning but he smoothly transitioned it into pleasure.He kept his pace slow and steady, keeping my mind hazy with his warm kisses, he took it into consideration that it was my first time, he kept on whispering sweet

"Some memories never leave your bones, like salt in the sea, they become part of you and you carry them"~ Unknown ~ Flashback ~ (8 years ago)"Mamma vado al mercato" (Mama I'm going to the market) I shout from the door, "porta tuo fratello con te" (take your brother with you) mama says loudly from the kitchen, I frown.I don't like tagging my siblings along with me in the market, besides I'm going out with my friends, none of them brings their siblings with them.I giggle evilly as an idea pops in my mind, I know I'll get a good scolding later, "mamma sto facendo tardi.. ciaoeeee!" (mama I'm getting late.. byeeee!) I shout and hurriedly run out of the main door.I hear her screaming profanities at me from behind but I keep running like a headless chicken.I don't stop until I reach the market, some of the shopkeepers give me a weird look as they see me heaving like a maniac.I look back, half expecting mama to come chasing behind me, she didn't.I take a few minutes to calm my errat

"And then it all started to fall apart again"~ Unknown "Daisy" I turn around hearing Salvatore's familiar voice, he makes his way to the balcony, my back is leaning against the railing as I patiently wait for him to come into view.He parts away the sheer curtains, the crease on his forehead instantly relaxes seeing me."Salvatore" I breath closing the gap between us, he opens his arms for me.My body relaxes as soon as I hug him, his body heat seaps into me. "I missed you too" he answers to my unsaid words from above my head, I feel him kiss my hair.We let go of but hold onto each other's hand, he guides me inside the bedroom, we settle on the bed."How did it go?" I ask him, his dark eyes become hazy for a moment "better then expected" he answers in his blank voice."He has postponed his wedding" I can't hide my surprise "but why?" I ask, "it's his wedding, it's his choice" he shrugs."Did you inform him about your decision?" I ask carefully, Salvatore's dark eyes stare in mine,

"My darling, all I want is to be your moon and show you all the little stars of my heart"~ Alexandra Vasiliu (Author of BLOOMING)I open the oven, the delicious aroma of baked pie reaches my nostrils, I wave the steam towards my nose inhaling it further "perfect" I whisper giddily, I shut the oven leaving the pie inside so it stays warm.I turn around towards the dining area, the table is all set with candles lit around the room, rose petals are spread around on the table with a candle holder in the center.Dario comes striding out from his room, he seems bored, "I'm going, do you need anything?" He asks glancing at his watch."No" I answer removing my apron, I glance at the wall clock, 30 minutes until 8, Salvatore is about to arrive soon, I need to change.Dario's eyes scan around the area, he eyes the pots in the kitchen that are filled with delicious food."Is it his birthday today?" He asks confused "no" I chuckle "I just thought to give him a surpise, the past few days have bee

"Maybe we exist to bleed, maybe we exist to burn"~ Unknon I gauge Madam Guilia's face, she seems different, even though the hateful expression is still present on her face but something has changed and I can't put my finger on it."You won't shut up will you?" Senior Capo says annoyed to which she just rolls her eyes."I think we should all sit down and discuss this matter in a cordial manner" Lucia pipes in a gentle manner, for once everyone agrees to something.We all sit around the sofa's, I sit beside Salvatore, Lucia and Capo Giovanni take another sofa while Madam and Senior Capo sit on different sides."Salvatore" Senior Capo begins, "I know I have hurt you alot..." Madam snorts tauntingly but everyone ignores her "but that does not mean that I am no longer your father, I am and will be till the end of time, I have full authority over the decisions you choose to make in life" he says firmly."And I don't stand with this decision of yours" he eyes me pointedly "you're a Moretti
