Desperado

part 77

A week later

"i'm scared" i tell gio as we entire the elevator of the penthouse

"don't be" he presses the button and i make sure of it, "she's the best nanny in town, i'll have security watch her and if she does anything that makes you upset i'll kill her"

i cross my arms and stand next to him. it's only been a week since i was in that hospital bed.

it was my third time giving birth but this time it was strange. it felt like i was dying in that moment and the thing that hurt me the most kept replaying in my head the entire time

ethans death.

i told joey that if he let gio kill him that i would never forgive him and i meant it. i will never understand why joey was so insecure with ethan because no matter what i always came back to him

it was always going to be joey over ethan. he should've known that, why did he ever question it?

but he made his decision and he killed my best friend, again. it's like i can't have anyone around that will make me happy or he'll have a urge to kill them

it's not like i've killed lexi or diana or had some kind of hatred towards them, i mean i did with lexi in the beginning but we are best of friends, i wish he just trusted me.

the elevator doors open and i'm following gio to his red lamborghini. he holds open the door for me and i quickly get in, tying my hair back

it was nice of him to come back to check on the baby, and even nicer for him to want to be on the plane with me on the way to panama city so i wouldnt be alone

we were out the parking lot within seconds. he was driving incredibly fast like his life depended on it but i was use to it at this point

i've never gone farther then crazy sushi since i've came here so finally seeing something new is exciting

i turn to look at gio who has his black shades sitting on the bridge of his nose, his jaw was clenched and both his hands were on the steering wheel

it was kinda of awkward just sitting here in silence with no music on. we weren't talking to each other either. the last time i saw him i was giving him a hand job, and now he won't even start a conversation

i would say something but whenever i do it always turns into an argument and i don't feel like making him mad right now

he still intimates me and i don't really trust him. having that nanny take care of my new born baby just wasn't sitting right with me

i didn't even get her name, let alone how she knows gio. should i ask him how he knows her or how he even got a nanny?

why in the world would he even have a nanny? unless he has kids but i doubt he would. gio having kids? i almost laugh

"what?" he keeps his eyes on the road

"nothing" i shrug my shoulders and look out the window, staring at the tall buildings

"well, you were staring at me then you started laughing. what's so funny love?"

even though it felt like this man knew everything, he always wanted answers

"i just thought..." i look back at him, trying to come up with a lie, "that those shades look funny on you"

"what?" he raises his brows, "these were two thousand dollars, you know what. you're right" he pushes the button on the side of his car making the window go down

"i needed a new pair anyway" he throws the shades out the window and my jaw drops

should i tell him i was joking?
