Everything Is Looking Up💙!

Teo's POV

So, everything has been going great so far. It's been a few weeks since the chaos has died down and I couldn't have been happier. Passion and I decided to take things even slower than slow because she didn't want us moving too fast. I mean, I get it, and I don't want to forced her to move any faster than what she's comfortable with.

"So, Teo, when can we come visit"? My mama asked.

"Whenever you want, I have a home over here that will accommodate everyone, and you can finally see the shop". I told her happily.

"And what about that Bella raggaza"? She asked.

I could hear the smirk in her tone.

"Yea Teo, E la passion"? My idiot brother said.

"We're good, taking things slow. She doesn't want to rush things, and I can respect that". I said truthfully.

I got up and decided to do some cleaning.

"But let me call you all back later, I'm gonna do some well needed cleaning". I said.

"Più tardi, maiale"! My brother said.

"Ciao fratello". I laughed.

I turned on some music and started upstairs. I looked around my room and was shocked at how many things were on the floor. Even the dog walked in and turned back around.

"Funny, never thought you were one to judge". I said rolling my eyes.

I got most of the things up, which were mostly clothes and took them to the basement to start washing them. I jogged back upstairs to finish up there.

Two hours later I had finished the whole upstairs, including my room, the guest room, the guest room bathroom, and the study. I finally was able to move to the second floor when I heard my music cut off.

"Incoming call from Passion, would you like to answer"? My HomePod asked.

"Yes". I answered grabbing a water bottle from the refrigerator.

"Hi Bella, you okay"? I asked.

"Yea, I just got done cleaning the shop with the girls and just didn't want to go home". She said sleepily.

"How about you come over here"? I asked hesitantly.

I know what you're thinking, and no, I'm not going to try anything. I just want to be around her for a little bit.

"Okay". She said softly.

I gave her the address and told her to let me know when she was outside. I wanted to stay on the phone with her while she drove here, but she said something about me interrupting her music.

I finished cleaning the second floor when I heard the doorbell ring. I washed my hands and looked out the peephole and saw Passion. I opened the door and an instant frown formed on my face once I saw how tired she looked. I didn't have to say anything, I grabbed her bags and waist and walked her in. I told her sit on the couch and I would be back.

I went upstairs to the bathroom and ran a hot bath and put a sweet pea bath bomb in there, don't ask where I got it from. I went into the study, and grabbed some Stella Rosa from the wine refrigerator and some ice. I sat it in the bathroom and went back downstairs to see Passion dosing off on the couch.

I picked her up and carried her upstairs. I took off her shoes and put them on my shoe rack and pulled out her house slippers I bought her. I didn't want to overstep and undress her, so I let her get undressed and slip into the tub. I had candles lit around her with the wine next to her. I had the bathroom HomePod playing some meditation music and let her relax. Before I walked out, she called my name softly.
