Ma c'ho solo vent'anni
E già chiedo perdono per gli sbagli che ho commesso
Ma la strada è più dura quando stai puntando al cielo
Quindi scegli le cose che son davvero importanti
Scegliamo oro e diamanti, demoni o santi

"What are you making?" I wrap my arms around his waist from behind, glancing around his tall shape to see him mixing vegetables in a large bowl. 

"Lentil vegetarian casserole. Why... are you hungry?" He chuckles. 

"Starving" I nod as I pull away from him and walk over to the fridge to pull out two beers and a water for Alessia. "How did Nonna sound on the phone?"

"Pretty weak but she was acting happy and hyper... I think that was for Alessia's sake though" He tells me, placing the vegetables in the dish before drizzling it in olive oil. 

"I wish she would just take it easy and not wear herself out" I sigh, opening his beer for him and handing it over to him as I hop up to sit on the counter beside him.

"Nonna's too proud to do that... I see that's where you get it from" He aims at me with a small smirk on his face. I roll my eyes at him, sipping my beer. "Where's Sia?"

"She's in the pool, I should probably get back out there... she gets demanding when she's thirsty" I chuckle, remembering I hadn't given her the drink. I hop back off the counter to feel his arms pull me back against him.

"She can wait an extra five minutes" He smiles suggestively, well I certainly wouldn't mind. I lean up to press my lips against his as his hand runs through my hair softly. I back him up carefully so his back was against the counter behind him only to hear "Sissy! I need my water now!!"

I pull my lips away from his and smirk. "See?" 

"I don't think I can wait till her bedtime" He whines, playing with my necklace. 

"Well...you're going to have to" I peck him quickly before grabbing the cup of water.

"Do what you've got to do amore" He chuckles, slapping my ass as I walk past him with Alessia's water. 

July 6th 2018.

"Hey baby, I'm home!" I call from the front door. I didn't even have time to place my bag down or take my shoes off  seeing as I was picked up and thrown around excitedly while getting smothered in many little kisses. I had only been gone for five hours. 

He throws me over his shoulder and carries me into our sitting room, throwing us both down on the sofa carefully. 

"I missed you" He mumbles, wrapping an arm around my shoulder  as I lean my back into his chest tiredly. 

"I missed you too baby" I yawn, stretching out. I had been working for half the day, on my feet for the majority of it. Some of the customers today were just fucking rude, I was so close to giving up on it but I knew right now that wasn't really an option because we needed to afford our bills. I was happy for Damiano though, his band were in a really good place. With the rise of their popularity after the X-Factor last year, they were now in the studio writing new music, I loved to see my boyfriend so happy. 

"Are you okay?" I hear his voice ask which was slightly concerned, it snaps me out of my gaze from the wooden floor as I smile over at him reassuringly although I wasn't really feeling it. 

"Yeah baby, just tired"

"How come I don't believe you?" He pushes as he picks me up from beside him and places me down on his lap. 

"It's just work, it's been a bit stressful" I shrug.

"How come amore?" He asks me, sitting up to face me.

"Customers on my ass... I can deal with it though, I'm just gonna work behind the bar instead" I tell him, stroking a piece of hair out his face as he then takes my hand and brings it to his lips. 

"Can I do anything?"  

"Just continue greeting me like that, that's all I need" I smile, reaching around and wrapping my arms around his neck, kissing his lips softly.

"Always amore" He whispers against me. I turn myself slightly  so I was now straddling him and smirk, tracing his cheekbone softly. How did I get so lucky?

"I love you"

"I love you too baby"  He picks me up and carries me to our bedroom, I think you know what we did in there. 

21:15

"Alessia, can you please go to bed?" I question tiredly, running a hand through my hair. I didn't know how my mum did it, she was a nightmare at this time. Damiano had stupidly given her chocolate ice cream an hour and a half ago so it wasn't a surprise that she was bouncing off the walls and screaming her lungs out excitedly. I... had a headache.

"Twenty more minutes Eve! I want to play with my dolls" She tries to negotiate, keeping her back turned to me.

"No Alessia. Mum told me you have to be in bed by nine... I'm going to get in trouble"

"Well I don't care" She shrugs childishly. I was going to beat her ass. I was about to open my mouth and yell at her when Damiano appears in the doorway.

"Alessia" He warns sternly, folding his arms down at her which definitely intimidated her. Damiano never got serious with her. She places down her dolls and stands up with her head hanging down to avoid both of our eye contact as she walks over to her bed and gets into it, all freshly washed. 

"Can I have a story?" She questions nervously, playing with her stuffed animal. 

"I will... if you promise to be a good girl and go to sleep right after it" 

"Okay!!" She grins, making herself comfortable. Hallelujah. I think I deserve a nice tall glass of red wine, that girl really knew how to stress me out. 

"Night Alessia" I walk over to kiss her forehead goodnight.

"Night Sissy"

"Night Dami" I smile at him as I walk past him, kissing his cheek and walking to the door, desperately wanted that glass of red.

"Night amore" I hear him reply after me with the burn of his stare on my back. 
I turn around to give him one last smile before leaving the room to let Damiano tell Sia a bedtime story.
