Someone Like You

Chapter 20

Giovanni

I wake up to find Zeniyah laying calmly asleep on my chest where I placed her yesterday making me smile. I'm happy she's in my arms, safe and beautiful as always. I lay completely still partly afraid that if I move she'll leave me and the moment will be ruined. Suddenly she moves in her sleep and her hand brushes over my morning wood making me groan loudly. 

She jumps up with a start making me frown. Once she realizes where her eyes adjust to her surrounding she asks,

"Did I hurt you? I'm sorry" I frown shaking my head. 

"You didn't hurt me your hand just hit something," I said pointing downwards. She looks confused until she sees the clear tent in the blanket making her blush and hid her face in my chest. I laugh at how adorable she is. 

"Princess are you still angry with me?" I ask her, secretly crossing my fingers hoping she'll say no. 

"Hmmm...yeah," she says after thinking for a minute making my heart drop. 

"How can I make it up to you?" I ask once again hoping she doesn't say she wants to go home. 

"That's really up to you," she says getting up and walking into my bathroom. I feel myself get impossibly harder watching her in my t-shirt. I can see her nipples poking through the material of the shirt. 

I lay in bed thinking about how I can make her happy with me again and also make her want to stay here more. I decide I'll take her shopping, it's a win-win since she doesn't have any clothes here and I want to spoil her anyways. 

After a while, she walks out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her making my jaw drop, she looks beautiful, she walks into my closet and grabs a hoodie along with a pair of joggers. Then she walks out of the room. I quickly jump out of the bed as best I can and shower then change. 

I walk downstairs joining Sandro and my nephew on the couch. The second I sit he begins reaching for me making me smile and pull him out of Sandro's arms. "How are you my little monster, you look happy don't you" I coo at him making my brother laugh at me. 

"He's been so calm and happy since Niyah started taking care of him," he says. "I just hope she doesn't leave" 

"I won't let her," I say with determination in my eyes. We sit there for a little while longer watching an English league soccer game before my princess calls out, 

"Breakfast is ready!" Me and Sandro quickly get up and go to the dining room taking Junior with us. The girls were plating huge cinnamon rolls when we walked in. The food smells amazing. Zeniyahs leaned over the table adding icing to one of the rolls when I walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist. She stands back up leaning into me and I kiss her neck before saying, 

"Morning mama," she turns around smiling before pressing a kiss to my lips making my jaw drop. This is the first time she's openly showed affection since the incident. She walks back into the kitchen leaving me with a stupid smile on my face. 

Soon we're all seated and Junior is beside Sandro being fed some oatmeal I think. Niyah walks back in sitting to my left near the kitchen door, 

"Where's Tony?" she asks looking at the empty seat where she placed food for him. I look at her with a brow raised, 

"Whys it matter to you?" I ask 

"Because I fucking made food for him," she says rolling her eyes in my direction,

"Watch your mouth baby girl," I say squeezing her thigh warningly. She simply nods not looking in my direction. We hear the front door slam and after a couple of seconds Tony comes walking in,

"I'm homeeee!!" he yells dramatically,

"Sit down I made everyone cinnamon rolls and your cappuccino is there," Niyah says rolling her eyes. 

"Awww see this is why you deserve this," he says placing down a small wrapped rectangle box.

"What's that?" She asks looking up at him. He simply gestures for her to open it. She begins to unwrap it then jumps up into his arms killing I'm on the cheek making me clench my fist. 

"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you," she says smiling brightly

"What is it," I ask unable to see what's in the paper. 

She unwraps it fully pulling out a purple iPhone 11. 

"I was able to get your old iPhone 6, then I asked them to get as many things backed up off of it even though the screen was dead, so all your apps and everything are still there," he explains as she powers it on. 

"By the way, I'm really sorry for everything I did to you from chasing you to hitting your head," he says running his fingers through his hair which was a nervous habit of his. 

"I forgive you, and you can call me Niyah now, sit down so we can eat," she says not even looking up from the phone, he leans behind her hugging her, and sits down and we all dig in.

The whole time I was thinking, "why didn't I think of doing that for her"

Zeniyah

After we finish eating Giovanni asks me to get dressed and wait for him to which I remind him that I have no clothes here. He tells me to slip on his clothes and we'll go. I sat on the couch with Alex waiting for him,

"Where do you think he's taking you?" she asked

"I'm not sure but I really want to go home to get some clothes," I said answering her

Not too long after Giovanni comes bounding down in a Grey Tech Fleece and Air forces, I smile staring at him 

"Woww so I look like a slob in your oversized joggers, slides, and hoodie while you're looking like a god how's that fair?" I say pouting 

He grabs my face squeezing it before kissing my lips and all over my face making me giggle, 

"You're beautiful princess, you could never look like a slob no matter what," he says making me blush. I say bye to Alex kissing her on the cheek and grab my phone heading out with Giovanni. 

When we get into the car I ask Giovanni where we're going and he says it a secret, 

"Wait can you take me over to my apartment?" I say to him. He slams on the brake almost making my face hit the steering wheel. He punches the steering wheel making me flinch.

"I thought we were doing good," He yells. I try speaking but he cuts me off again. 

"What is it do you not feel the chemistry between us, do you want Tony instead?" he continues yelling. 

I slap him getting tired of his yelling while I'm trying to speak, 

"Shut up man, I want to go home to get my clothes and my laptop that's all," I yell back at him. 

"Oh...I'm so sorry. I keep messing up," he says rubbing his hand down his face

"Listen it's ok and yes I do feel the chemistry between us...I-I like you," I say shyly

He blushes deeply then takes my hand kissing it. We begin driving again heading towards my apartment.
