Giovanni POV

After, we ate, we went on a walk around Central Park. I'm holding arianna's right hand while Imani is holding the left. She's swinging back forth.

I like this.

"Ou wait!" Arianna pulled both mines and Imani's hand making us both stop. She smiles at the both of us then points to a little building. Me and Imani turn our heads and look at the shop. It's a cookie/desert shop.

"Can we pweaseee go in there?" She pleads while pouting. "I don't mind." Imani shrugs. "me either." I say, as we walk to the shop door.

"YAY!" Arianna screams, running inside but she's too short to reach the handle. I watch her as she keeps trying to jump to reach the handle. She stops then turns to look at me.

She points to the handle with a pout on her face. I laugh a little then open the door for her.

I look at the different Cookie flavors, the different ice cream flavors and I will always go with the cookie dough flavor.

We order, get our desert then go to sit at one of the little tables with a mix between blue, purple and pink. Arianna sits on the left side of me, closer to the window. Imani is sitting across from arianna eating her cookie and licking her vanilla ice cream.

I'm watching Imani lick the ice cream off her spoon and then we lock eyes. She slowly scoops up the vanilla ice cream. And licked the ice cream off the spoon. My eyes flickered down to her plumped two toned lips.

They're so full.

I want to kiss them.... Again. And also do other things to them.

I licked my lips while watching her slowly pull the spoon out from her full lips. I move my eyes back to hers to find her looking at me seductively.

I fix my seating position and pull at my pants feeling them getting a little tight.

Calm down, boy.

( a/n... LMAOAAOAOAOAO )

I cleared my throat, still having my eyes locked onto her brown ones. Her lips pull into a smirk before she looks down at my lips then look back up at my eyes.

Fuck.

"What are you doing?" Arianna asks before looking between me and Imani. I clear my throat and Imani giggles a little, "nothing....are you guys ready to go?" I ask, getting up out of my seat.

Arianna shakes her head then gets out of her seat then we all leave the place.

She throws her ice cream cup in the garbage then runs up to me. I open my arms for her then pick her up as she jumps into them.

I sit her on my right forearm then use my left hand to grabs Imani's hand.

She looks at our hands interlocked then looks at me and she smiles, looking into my eyes. A smile that makes me melt on the inside. She's so beautiful.

The way the sun beams off her deep brown skin. To the way she smiles. The way her voice sounds. The way she smells. Even the way she walks.

Everything about her is... beautiful.

I heard light snores in my ear and can feel arianna's breathing slow down. She's asleep, I think to myself. I lay a soft kiss on her forehead which makes her smile a bit then grip onto my shirt a bit more.

I hear Imani giggle beside me, "she loves you." She smiles then look at her daughter. "She does?" I say, confused. "Yes... she said it with her own mouth... she loves you, gio." Imani says then takes a deep breath.

She looks like she had gotten lost in her thoughts as the grip she had on my hand loosened a bit. Then her face lit up like she came to the realization of something.

Imani POV

What if arianna sees gio as a father figure?

What if she wants me and gio to be together?

What if arianna loves gio as if he's her father?

"Hey..." gio puts his free arm around me and pulls me closer. He rubs small circles on my shoulder, which gave me some sort of comfort.

I've always loved feeling comfort from him. Then and now.

"Is everything ok? It looks like your having a battle conversation in that pretty head of yours?" He says, then kisses my forehead.

I clear my throat then smile up at him, "nothing... I'm fine." I say then look down at my moving feet. He looks at me as if he doesn't believe me but he just sighs.

We stopped walking after we made it to the car. I watch him carefully put a sleeping arianna in her car seat. He closes the car door, then looks at me.

He pulls my face up with his soft yet big hands. "Whatever is on your mind, you can always, and I mean always, talk to me about it. You understand?" He raises his perfectly thick and shaped eyebrow.

I nod my head, "yes, gio." I softly smile at him. He looks down at my lips and his eyes linger there for a moment. His light brown eyes then met mines.

"Kiss me." I whisper. Wanting his soft lips to be on mines. He smiles, showing the right dimple in his cheek. "Whatever you want, beautiful." He lays his soft lips on mines.

This is what I was missing.

Him.

I felt butterflies the moment our lips touched. His tongue grazed over my bottom lip and I open my mouth to invite his tongue in. Our tongues moved so gracefully against one another, i didn't want it to stop. But I pulled away after realizing we were in public and I didn't want to get carried away.

Besides... we have a date tonight.

Maybe he'll get more than a kiss then.

He groans, "really? Just one more." He pulls my face towards his and I quickly pecked his soft lips. Once, I pulled away her started to keep pulling me back for more with his lips puckered making me laugh.

I pushed his hand way from my face, "Enough.." I laugh. "Come on... let's get back so we have time to get ready for our little date tonight." I said as I opened the door and got in the car.

He just stood at my window staring at it. The windows are tinted so he's only seeing himself. I giggle at him as I watch him roll his eyes then slowly walk over to the driver side.

"Your driving me crazy, girl." He said as he starts the engine. "And I love it."

"Oh really?" I say smiling. He hums. "Show me how much you love it tonight, hm?" I say, licking my lips. He looks at me then shakes his head looking back at the road.

"Oh, ti mostrerò quanto lo amo."
