There she was, looking good in her yellow two piece swim suit, it clung to her body as if it where a second skin. The bright color looked amazing against her soft, glowing skin.
We were on a private island near the coast of Italy. It is a place we came to everytime we visit Italy, it was a tradition. Family time at the beach for a day or two.
"You are staring," my mom whispers in my ear.
"No I'm not," I said defensively.
"Son, you better stop lying to me and yourself," she scolds.
"Whatever ma," I said, before turning back to Mo.
She was with Stella and Aiden, helping them make a 'mega sand castle.'
"Zio Luca, come play volleyball with us please," Alessandro says.
"Yeah, we need to form our team and we need you, we all know Zio Leo is no help," Richardo continues.
"Hey, I'm right here," Leo whines.
"We know," the boys say at the same time making me chuckle.
"You have a point, I'll play," I said getting up.
It's just the distraction I need.
"So it's boys against girls," Richardo says to the girls team which was Ariala, Ashley, Vanessa and Laura.
The girls started with the ball, hitting it over the net, Richardo hits it back and Laura hitting it back.
After a few rounds, the girls were wining 12 to 10 and Laura was panting, her hands rested on her knees as she tried to catch her breath.
"This....this game was not meant for pregnant women, I'm going to sit my ass down," Laura says panting as she went on to take a seat under the shade.
"Great now we are one woman short," Ariala says.
"Mo- Mo can take her place," Vanessa suggested.
"Yeah, Mo, can you please please play with us," Ariala begs.
"Sure," she says coming getting up from the sand and dusting her butt of sand before coming to us.
"Let's do this," she says joining the girls.

"Lunch is ready!" The maid calls out.
The kids all went running to the villa for food with my mother and the rest of us trailing after them.
"Mhm, Luca can I talk to you for a second?" Mo asks me quietly as we make our way up to the villa.
"Sure," I answered, reducing my pace for everyone to move ahead of us.
"Mmmhm, I wanted to thank you for getting me to the house safely yesterday, you know, since I was drunk and all," she says biting the inside of her cheek and playing with her fingers. "And I know drunk me is a lot to handle." She says scrunching her face.
