That One Night

- ⅩⅩⅩⅩ -

I turned to Roman."It's nine.I should wa-""MOMMY!"I ran to the bedroom."Are you alright,baby?!""I just wanted to see if you were home.You are."

"You scared me!No scaring mommy,remember?""I'm sorry mommy.Hugsies?"I hugged hima nd picked him up."How much do you love mommy?!"

He spread his arms."This much!""How much does mommy love you?"He giggled."Even more than this!""Why?"He leaned to my ear."Because mommy's arms are longer."

I bursted out laughing with him."You are right.Mommy's arms are longer than yours,bambino."I put him down and we stepped out of the room."INTRUDER ALERT!MOMMY!"

He started kicking and hitting Roman.I smirked as I picked him up.He kept fighting against me even though he was up in the air."Armani Luca Moretti,that's your father!"

He stopped and turned to me."I thought daddy wasn't coming."I sighed."I went to see your daddy last night after you said you were upset about him."

"You shouldn't have,mommy.I know he upsets you a lot!"He gave his death glare to Roman."What did I say about glaring at people like that?Not just your daddy."

"It might make people feel bad.But mommy,I want him to feel bad for hurting my mommy!"I turned to Roman."I'll talk to him."I took him to the living room.

"Love,we talked about this.You need to give the benefit of the doubt to the people you meet.He is your daddy.You wanted to meet him,remember?"

"That was before I remembered how he made you cry yourself to sleep!You still do it!I hear you!"I nodded."Baby,that is between your daddy and I.Not you."

"You said whatever makes me happy or sad,makes you feel the same way I do.Doesn't that go both ways?"He has a point.A very solid point."Not in every situation,baby."

"So,this is an exception?"I high fived him."Well done,love.And,yes,this an exception."He whined."But I don't like it when you cry!"

"And mommy loves you for it!Your my sweet prince and I know you care about me but...What happens between me and daddy shouldn't affect your relationship with your daddy."

"Your mommy is right but you are also right,Armani."Roman came over and got me on his lap."She's not your mommy,now is she?!Give her back!"

I saw the time."I'm late for work.Give me a second.Baby,your nonna will be here in 30 minutes.I have a meeting to get to.Come,baby."

I changed into my outfit and then helped out Armani.My hair is now long enough to make a high bun.

I wore my heels and then the door bell rang."Roman?!""Got it."I turned to Armani."Be nice to your daddy.I will be back in two to three hours."

"When will you be back?"I put on his watch."I will be back after lunch.Count three hours from here and I will try my best."He nodded and we walked out.

"I was surprised when you didn't cancel it all."I rolled my eyes."Oh,I'm still not over the fact that it took him so fucking long to realise he needs to fucking man up."

"Man up,huh?Is that why you scr-""Yeah,you better shut the fuck up.He's still capable of hearing."I turned back to Nora."Mom,just make sure he does his math and writes his daily assignments."

"I got it.You go.And you?!You are dropping her off!I don't care if you are the Don or not.You need to learn how to treat your woman."I smirked."He knows that very well."

I winked at Roman and he winked at his mother."Leave already!"

We came to the parking lot."So you are working for Gianni.He's a fucking pervert."I rolled my eyes."You want to walk me in there,don't you?"

"How long have you been working here?""Five months."He nodded."Yeah,quit."I nodded."Sure,what else?"I rolled my eyes."I'm serious,Adele."

"The days you control over my life are over,Roman.A lot has changed besides Armani.""Yeah,they are so not over."He sat down at the driver's seat with me on his lap.

He started driving like that."Take the wheel."While he played around with me,leaving kisses all over my skin,I drove the car.We came to the manor.

"Why wasn't the GPS set to go to Damien's house?""Because I texted my mother and she's already inside with Armani."I got out of the car as I feared what Roman's father could've done.

"It was quite the enterence you made at the ball."I smirked."Enzo...I love a good enterance.Not to mention there is no way you couldn't recognize my voice."

"Oh,I did.But it was fun watching your friend squirm."I nodded."I figured."Then I heard a scream."MOMMY!""BABY BOY!"

I picked him up and spun him around."You missed me this much?!""I thought you were going to be gone for a while."I sighed."Well,mommy took daddy's advice and she quit."

I looked Roman in the eye and mouthed my words."I love you."He sighed in relief."Armani,maybe you and daddy should talk alone.Withou me around."

"Why would I want that?""Because he is your daddy?"He sighed."If you say so,mommy.Fine,I'll talk with my daddy.But if I don't want to talk to him anymore,I will scream."

"I am completely fine with that.I will come and get you right away.Alright?"He nodded and I put him down."You coming or not,daddy?"

"First..."He came over and put on our wedding band and my engagement ring."Mommy needs to put these two on."I got on the tip of my toes and kissed him.

His arms got wrapped around my torso and I hugged his neck after we broke it off."He's too thoughtful.He worries too much when it's about me."I giggled.

"He will probably climb on the furniture to look tall.He will make his intentions and expectations very clearly and he will expect you to abide by them firmly.Just like you."

"You raised a mini me."I nodded."Now,go and talk to our son."I broke it off and he left with Armani.Lorenzo got me under his arm."Thanks for coming back."
