After breakfast, we went inside to get changed. Ce put on a stunning black bikini while I changed into swim trunks. She put her hair in a low bun before we left for the porch. She laid down on one of the lounge chairs while I laid down on the one beside her.

"I like this. I could get used to it." I smiled.

"You want to go on trips more often?" She looked at me and put her sunglasses on.

"I mean, I'm not giving you ideas," I smiled. "But I'm certain that I'm going to do this more often if possible." I nodded.

"Yeah, I agree. It's nice to get away from that bullshit."

"Exactly. Have any of them called?" I nodded.

"Margo called an hour ago."

"Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, she just wanted to check up on us and informed me that Luciana boarded the plane to go to New York." Ce nodded.

"Finally. She has to come back as soon as possible. Can we leave in the evening today?" I nodded.

"Whatever you'd like, love."

"I love this but if she's coming back, then I'd rather be there to greet her."

"Of course. Besides, your birthday is tomorrow." She smiled.

"I know. I don't really want to celebrate it but I'm really grateful for what you've done for me. You really made me feel special." I looked over at her, meeting her eyes.

"You are special. And I'm glad that you liked everything." She smiled and held her hand out in which I placed mine. "But there's something else that you'll get tomorrow." She frowned.

"Liam, you've done enough." I smiled and looked up to the sky. It won't be something big or extravagant but I think it'll make her happy.

"You deserve it, love." She sat up.

"Liam, I really don't need anything. I'm really thankful but you're going to make me spoiled." I chuckled.

"I know." She stood up and sat on my lap. "Where is this going?" She took off my sunglasses and put them on herself. I smiled as she placed her hands on my chest. I placed my hands on her bottom.

"I love your tattoos." I smiled. "Do any of them have meanings?" I nodded. My entire arm was covered in them. Most of them were just fun or something I found interesting but a few actually meant something.

"Well this one," I showed her my finger. "Is obviously the Martinelli symbol." She nodded. "This," I pointed with my other hand to the small lion on my inner forearm. "Is a lion which means power and strength. And this one," I pointed to a crown in my bicep. "Is a symbol of ruling. Since I'm the king of my empire." She nodded. "The rest are mostly just ones that I wanted or liked."

"Well, Mr Martinelli," I smiled. I loved the way she called me. "I think these make you look even more handsome." I smiled and moved my hands to her waist as I pulled her to me. Our lips crashed into one another. "Ti amo."
