His Bambina

Chapter 15

Birds chirp and monkeys screech, filling me with excitement. I almost run into the zoo, but Amelia's arm linked with mine keeps me at bay. I can't believe how big this zoo is! Surprisingly the zoo isn't as busy today since it's a weekday. Nico slides on his sunglasses and pulls out a complimentary map which is all in Italian.
Emily scoffs and rips the map from Nico's hands, and leads the way. Orange and black lay atop the dirt like rugs. Each tiger snores peacefully while soaking in the spring warmth. The noisy surroundings are not robbing them of their slumber.
Who knew zoos were so fantastic. I can't help but giggle and skip towards the monkeys and Emily does the same. Nico and Amelia argue about which direction they should go at the fork ahead of us and Emily and I just scoff at their behavior.
"You're holding the map upside down, you idiot you should not be leading us!"
"You don't need a map to see all the cool animals are this way, little sister." He flicks Amelia's nose and I swear I can see smoke coming out of her ears.
Emily just laughs and grabs my hand leading me down the middle path as a compromise between the two siblings. As we walk Nico and Amelia nudge each other with their elbows like children, and I love seeing them more relaxed, even if it means childishly fighting with each other. We all certainly had to grow up too fast for our family business.
As we pass by the giraffes and Nico stops in his tracks while looking at the elephants. He looks like a child that got sucked into a candy store. He's always seen elephants on tv documentaries and the nature channel but I don't think he's ever seen one so close.
I giggle and nudge him, "Aren't they beautiful?"
He just nods and goes to look for the information and names of the elephants. Emily laughs and we both just bask in the positive energy of our day. Then she awkwardly shuffles and wraps her arms around mine, "Can I ask you something?"
Of course, she can ask me anything. We're friends now so she doesn't have to be so shy.
"Are you, erm," She leans closer to my ear, "A little?"
My eyes light up in surprise. How does she know? She can't be a little too, can she?
I look around as if we're sharing the most valuable secret in the world then nod my head yes. She squeals and sighs, "Finally! I wasn't sure if Vincenzo was ever going to find a true little. You certainly seemed like you were, but I just had to make sure. I'm so excited, we have to have a playdate sometime!" She whisper yells it all making me relieved and feel even more accepted. Who knew it'd feel this great to be able to talk to somebody about my lifestyle with Vincenzo.
Emily pulls me along to walk through the rest of the zoo so we can talk about our newfound thing in common.
"I used to have a dominant who had trained me as a submissive, but then I discovered I leaned more towards the Daddy dom/little girl side and he was more master/sub type," She shrugged, throwing the rest of her feed to the alpacas, "I've had a couple Daddies here and there but I haven't had one in a while. It's hard to find someone in that particular lifestyle ya know."
I nod my head in understanding, but to be honest I don't know the struggle of looking for a dominant she might be going through. Vincenzo introduced me to this world. Sure I always thought vanilla sex was a bit on the boring side, but he's the one who opened these new doors for me. It all worked out on my end perfectly.
"So there's not anyone who's caught your interest?"
She bites the inside of her cheek and shrugs, "Well... there is someone. But it just wouldn't work out now." I was going to ask for more details but she shifts topics.
Emily's ponytail swings as she walks with a bounce in her step, and looks at me with mischievous excitement, "Has he punished you yet?"
I nod my head and laugh nervously. Vincenzo is certainly more strict than I would've expected. He hardly ever lets me slip through breaking a rule without at least a firm spanking or timeout.
"Oh we have to go to the club tonight!"
"Uhhh, I don't know Em..." I highly doubt Vincenzo would ever let me go to a club alone.
"Please! It'll be so fun! We can take Amelia, and if you want we could sneak to the vip section and you can meet my old trainer." She wiggles her eyebrows making me laugh. I guess it wouldn't hurt. I'll just tell Vincenzo we're having a sleepover.
"Okay, okay, I'll think about it."
Emily jumps in excitement and tells me she has some dresses she thinks will be great for tonight. As we get closer to the entrance again a lemonade stand comes into view. Emily leaves to find a seat for us to take a break and I wait in line for our sweet refreshments. I wonder where Amelia and Nicolas went.
My phone buzzes and I pick it up expecting Nico or Amelia to be calling, "Helloo?"
"Sweet little Agard how is Italy treating you? I heard you've settled in nicely into the estate."
Tats definitely not Amelia or Nico. "Who is this?"
"All in due time girly." The strange male's voice twist into a sinister chuckle, "Meet me at this zoo parking lot in two weeks 11:00 pm."
How does he know I'm at the zoo? "I don't take demands from cowards hiding behind a phone call."
He only chuckles, "Hmm, well I suggest you reconsider. I'll let you go, you're next in line. You should get a corndog, I heard they are just delightful and quick to make. Don't want sweet Emily to wait alone for too long. Certainly wouldn't want anything to happen to your precious family." That's a threat if I've ever heard one. And I don't do well with threats.
I dart my eyes focusing on my surroundings. I Find Emily in the crowd with her eyes closed basking in the sunlight. I search for anyone who may be standing near her a little too close for comfort when a hand grips onto my shoulder.
I jump, ready to punch whoever grabbed me when Amelia's confused face meets mine. Why is her hair and clothes wet? Nico curses out the man behind him in French making me realize they're being kicked out.
"Where's Emily? We-erm- gotta go." I wave Emily down and we follow the two large security guards out of the zoo.
"Stupid sister, I told you not to do it."
Amelia swats Nico in the back of the head and grumbles, "There was no gate, how was I supposed to know I couldn't swim with the penguins?"
"What? Where did you guys find the penguins?" Of course, they just had to get in trouble before I could even find the penguins.

Who dares threaten my my babies!? Especially when they're trying to enjoy the zoo!
Emily is a little too? I hope she finds a daddy who will tame her wild side 🥲😜
