Mafia's Art [COMPLETED]

48: One-More-Day

He looks at her from a distance. As she reads a book to her babies under the shade. A lilac summer's dress and the most beautiful hair, going wild through the wind. Every word seemingly flowing effortlessly from the book in her hand to the breath of her mouth.

Peace, beauty and serenity. Flowing, floating, blending and shining. Mother of his children.

"Viviana?
Adresano?
Do you know how lucky you are to have a mother like her."

The man smiles, like a fool once more. He walks through the beautiful field of flowers, his friend right behind him and hands in pocket. His oh-so-loyal friend, the cupid in his life.

"'and Alice giggles. The prince's sudden change of attitude taking her by surprise.'.. That actually reminds me of a certain someone babies." She refers to the book in her hand.

"And who might that be?"
Her fiancé interrupts. Signaling a hand for the maids to leave, and they do just that. Mateo staying to watch over his friend and family.

"Oh, you wouldn't know him."

"Is that so?" She nods. As she is facing away from him, sitting on a picnic blanket in a crisscross position.

"Well, tell me more about this certain someone then." He says, sitting on the ground besides her. He looks at his heirs, his heart melting at a quicker rate. His baby girl and baby boy.

"He's handsome, scratch that and make it very handsome..." she giggles "He's damn fucken sexy, that's for sure. He's mean... to some, but not his family. He's fearless and loving, caring and kind. A little bit stubborn, but otherwise daring. He's strong, powerful and a great leader. He loves me... I know he does, he's all soft and mushy with me. He kills for me and I kill for him. He is the father of my babies, my future husband... just one-more-day. I love him." She finishes. Damn stray tear!

"Well, would he mind if I kiss you?"

"Yeah, probably."

"I'm still kissing you anyway."
He shrugs and kisses his lover, taking in her lips. As if she is oxygen, as if she is water. This man, this woman! How could they be so made for each other?
The kiss is cut short by the faint, adorable sound of a sneezing Adresano. Perfect.

The couple turns to the babies, only to find Mateo already taking a spot on the huge blanket tickling baby Adresano.

An unexpected visitor approaches from affar, he himself walking through the field of flowers with a smile on his face. Here to see his friend before the day of the wedding.

"Well, it's a long walk here. How big is this place Charlene?" He says with a smile.

*gasp
"Angelo!" The black beauty jumps up to hug her friend, grabbing the attention of the two gentlemen. Especially Mateo.

"Well hey to you too. Glad you still remember me bitch."
*clears throat.
"Oh sh- Uh.. Sorry Mr. Ermes."

"Leave him Angelo, he's being dramatic. Just Santino will be fine."
The baby sneezes again, gaining the attention of the friend who just arrived.

"Oh My Godd!! Can I meet them, can I, can I?"

"Haha, of course you can!"
The artist moves and rushes to see his friend's twin babies. Sitting awkwardly beside Mateo.
