"So we have our little cousins birthday party this weekend, "I tell Sage as I draw circles in her back while she lays on my chest "and I was thinking of inviting you so you could meet the rest of my family"

Oh, shit, we haven't even gone out yet and I'm already asking her to meet everyone else.

Slow the fuck down Gio.

"I mean only if you want to, ya know, "I said wincing right after afraid that I'm moving entirely too fast for her liking.

"Sure, "she said as she continued rubbing my chest ." I would love to meet everyone else considering I'm bonded to you guys for life right "she giggled referring to the code of silence she signed earlier today.

"Is it bad that I'm happy that happened? "I ask her pausing my movement "I mean I wish it happened under better circumstances but I'm glad I won't have to hide it from you any longer "

"Is that why you were gone for a few weeks?" she asks turning and looking up at me, brown eyes clouded with curiosity.

"Yeah we had some business to take care of in Italy, "I told her clearing my throat a little bit "Also had to see our uncle and aunt and check up on them"

"What about your parents, "she asks me innocently.

I'm not going into the backstory of my parents and the cause of my fucking abandonment issues because most of you already know, but for the newcomers, I'll keep it short and sweet.

My mom was a crack whore who left our sisters for dead in the hands of their rapist under the guise that she died, the bitch lied, and my dead left us two years later leaving my older brother to take care of us.

Fast forward to when we finally found the twins and both of them decided to come out of the woodworks, my mom is probably burning in hell and I could care less about her, but my dad I think about almost every day and how if my heart wasn't so full of hatred we could've left off on better terms when he died.

"They're dead, "I tell her as I twirled my finger around one of her curls letting it go and watching it bounce.

boing.

"I'm sorry, "she said holding her gaze on me trying to figure out why I'm not sympathetic about it.

"Don't be"I tell her and watched as shock made its way across her features "My mom left my twin sisters for dead after she took them away from us and my dad left Antonio to raise the rest of us at 15"I tell her the short version of the story.

"That's horrible, "she said bringing her hand up to my face and rubbing her thumb over my cheek softly. I got this warm feeling over my body at her heartfelt actions. I never wanted her to leave my embrace.

"Yep, I developed abandonment issues, Alessandro went mute after all of that, which is one of the reasons why he rarely talks today, "I tell her as I stare at the wall."We all got pretty fucked up from it, but not as much as the twins because they went through some shit that isn't my place to tell, but one day they'll eventually open to you about it ."
