Infinity

Chapter 52 - Amore

Am I dreaming or was that the best night of my life. The date, the fireworks, Vincenzo's beautiful love confession, and not to mention the sex. It was perfect. I knew I could bring him to his knees.

Tehe.

I roll over to my side and Vincenzo isn't there.
"Vincenzo!" I shout. "This bitch left me by myself." I mutter. I bunch the covers around me, covering my naked body. My head is throbbing and my hair looks like I've just had a fight with a lion. I sit up against the window behind me, and wait for Vincenzo to come out from where ever the fuck he went.

I slide under the covers again, laying on my stomach. I put my arms under the pillow and stare out of the window, looking at the peaceful view. I turn my head and see a letter, I think it's the one Andrea gave to me at the hospital the day after Vincenzo got shot. I sit up and reach for the letter. I open the letter and it says.

Dear Jasmine,
If you're reading this it means that something or someone has pulled us apart. I've tried writing this letter a million times and can't seem to get it right. So here we go. From the moment I laid eyes on you, even though you weren't in the best state, I was convinced that you would be part of my life one day in the future. When I met you four years later I hated your guts because you were better than me, me being the arrogant asshole. Now that I look at you, I regret ever hating you and the reason I did hate you was because you brought a side of me that I buried in myself or my father had convinced me that I was never capable of feeling remotely anything close to what I feel for you now. Truth be told you are very difficult to hate, Jasmine. Even as I'm writing this I'm smiling because I can't you out of my fucked up head. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me Jasmine, and I wish I could take all your pain away. Guess now you don't have to deal with me. But I want you to know that I love you. You were my reason to live and the reason why I smile like a fool. If I were with you, I would smother you with infinite kisses and hold you in my arms forever. I should have said all this before, but I'm going to say it again. I love you amore, and I know how much you hate that nickname.
One final time.
I love you.
- Your sweetie, Vincenzo.

I don't know what to say. I get out of bed and put on Vincenzo's white dress shirt and run around the house to find him.

Where the hell is he?
"Vincenzo! Where the fuck are you?" I groan.

"Jasmine?" I hear his husky voice.. I turn around to face him with tears rolling down my face.
