Calm before the storm

⥃Antonio p.o.v⥄

I will bring you onto the road mister. Remember.

" Then tell me about you " I asked her.

She lifted her eyes to me, " I told you before that this place makes people fall in love... Do you want to fall in love with me? " She asked me return.

Hah! What is she thinking about me!

I smirked, " let's see " I replied.

" Well, then what do you want to know about me? " She asked.

" What are your likes? "

" I like everything " she really wanted to play with me.

" So you like porn too " her coughs followed at the end of my sentence. " Cool.. cool " I handed her a glass of water. " You should have been straight " I said.

She glared at me. Oh god! She doesn't even know how to glare. What I have to do with this girl?

" Fine.. I like lovely things " she replied and the butler came back with our dishes. By the time he reached our tables, I am ready with the knife and glared at him.

He caught my glare and looked down at the knife.

You should know what you are wishing for boy.

I signed him by my knife to go away. Nice boy. He hurried away.

That is Antonio.

" What is your favourite thing?... Only one thing " she kept a protocol.

One thing?

" Mm... My favourite thing was to lay my head in my mother's lap. That is my favourite thing forever " I replied not ready to go back into my past.

" Then marry early and have a baby girl... Your mother will come back definitely " she said like she is not my wife.

" With you? " I asked her.

" You know with whom, Antonio " she said with sad smile.

" You love me, don't you? " I asked her.

" Yes, and I still do " she replied chewing the food. She is normal to my every question and for her every answer.

" Don't you feel hurt whenever I bring Olivia between us? "

She stopped slicing the mest and looked at me with the same smile. " Loving someone is accepting them completely... It means loving their wishes, goals, and dreams... It doesn't mean that person has to love us in return... Seeing them happy makes us happy even though the reality hurts... We can't do anything except accepting the fate " I can see tears in her eyes but she controlled them.

My heart broke. Seriously.

A few minutes of silence occupied us.

" Whom do you love more? " She asked me all of a sudden.

" My mother " I don't have to think for answering that question.

" If I had my mother, I would be a different Antonio " I replied.

" You wouldn't "

" What? "

" You wouldn't... You would be just a normal Antonio who earn some daily wages enough for his family. " She is right.

" You " she said the next instant.

" Really? "

" Yes, Mr. Antonio... I love you more than anyone. " She said. My smirk dropped.
