I led an excited Gianna towards the stalls that I had been eating at ever since I was a little boy. I don't think I could remember the last time that I had smiled so hard and felt so much joy in my heart. Maybe it was because I was back here after a long time. Or maybe it was because of the company I had with me this time around. My pulse thrummed with energy as I stopped in front of the small stal owned by a balding man. For reasons unbeknownst to me, I was nervous. Nervous that she wouldn't like it here. The only place in this city where I had some good memories.
"Sergio, ragazzo mio, how are you?" The man's voice boomed as his eyes crinkled at the corners.
"I'm good, zio. How's everybody at home?" I replied to the man that had seen me grow from boy to man over the years.
"Ah they're good, the same as usual you know? Now tell me what I can get you and this splendida signorina here?"
I turned to look at Gianna as I caught her blushing at his compliment. Zio - as I affectionately called him - passed me the menu. Knowing how enthusiastic Gianna was about food, I took the liberty of ordering all the items on the menu. Her eyes widened a bit as I rattled off our order. With a sneaky smile sent our way and a wink towards me, Zio made his way inside the small open kitchen as I turned back to face Gianna.
"Isn't that going to be too much?" She asked as she wrung her hands together.
Gosh, I think nervous Gianna was kind of growing on me.
"Nothing's too much for you, mia gioia." I replied without thinking as the severity of the sentence hit me a moment later.
I coughed a bit to clear the air as Gianna stiffened beside me.
"Uh, they have some of the best food here. That's why I brought you here. Since, you know, you're a food enthusiast." I said as I attempted to change the subject.
Smooth, Sergio. Real smooth.
Thankfully, Gianna didn't question the abrupt change of subject before she relaxed beside me and sent me a small smile.
"That's very thoughtful of you."
I simply shrugged in response as I ran a hand through my hair, not knowing what to say to that. I had been called a lot of things in my life. Selfish, pompous, asshole. But I had never been referred to as thoughtful. Especially not from the woman who was supposed to detest me.
I rubbed my chest as I looked away from her. I didn't want to admit it, but Gianna Ricci was starting to grow on me. So much so that I was getting distracted. Thoughts of her in that pretty little sundress and those rosy cheeks kept invading my mind as I felt my cock tent in my jeans. Fucking hell. What was wrong with me? I tried to adjust myself to the best of my abilities as she drummed her fingers on the metal table in front of us, humming a song under her breath.
