Watching her sleep was something I enjoyed , it gave me time to analyze her facial features for the millionth time . Her smile caught me off guard when I first met her , it lit the dull room every time I went inside that cafe . 

Her face then scrunched up as she slowly opened her eyes , the sun began peeking through the curtains and happened to land on her face . "Ciao." Her rapsy voice says 

"How was your sleep ?"

"Perfect ." 

"I wonder why." I reply raising my eyebrows causing her to slightly laugh . She shrugs her shoulders fiddling with my hair a few minutes later. "How long are we staying here for ?"

"For about two weeks or so I haven't made up my mind yet ." She doesn't respond but continues to play with my hair.

"remember when you said you wanted to be trained ?"

Anaya stops playing with my hair and looks back at me "yeah?"

"We'll my personal trainer has agreed to train you ."

Training Anya was definitely something that needed to be done . I just wanted her to learn a few self defense techniques in case I'm not there and she'll be able to protect herself from harm .

"Wait really?" Her voice chirps up as she begins to smile "yes his names Marcos , I think you've met him before. He works at the warehouse."

"Thankyou , so much-"she pauses placing a hand over her mouth as she gulps . I stare at her in confusion before she climbs off the bed rushing into the bathroom .

What on earth

I follow after her making sure she was alright . I crouch beside her and gently rub her back , she shakes her head closing the toilet lid pushing herself up she leans against the wall.

"Ugh, I still feel nauseous."

"Want me to call a doctor?"

"No it's probably just a flu."

I knew she wasn't okay due to how pale she looked but I didn't want to force anything upon her . I insisted she get some rest however she continued to say she was fine .

Nonna had awoken the entire household , with a bell . Well to her it was some sort of alarm I knew that because when my mother and I would stay here she used it quite frequently.

Everything here reminded me of my mother and for some reason it was no longer depressing yet more of a souvenir if that made sense .

My eyes move across the room and they land on Anya, she still looked pale which was quite worrying . I knew there was something wrong with her . She tried her best to conceal the way she was feeling by putting a smile on her Dave but even Emily had noticed .

Emily was my second youngest cousin , she was the twins mom kayden and lily. Ever since they'd met Anya they couldn't stay away from her .

We head breakfast not so long ago and we all ate except Anya, according to her she didn't have an appetite but nonna ended up bribing her just so she could eat .

Something definitely wasn't right

"Enzio, come play with us ." I hadn't noticed lily was beside me until I snapped out of my thoughts . "Play what?" I respond placing my laptop beside me "hide and seek ." She replies , I stand up picking her along with me .

Anya then smiles at me reaching for my arm she lightly pulls me closer . I feel Lilly tugging at my hair and I roll my eyes "I'm worried about you ." 

Since when did I become such a simp

I help her stand up as Kayden was clinging onto her , she kisses me quickly giving me a reassuring look "I'm fine Lorenzo , you don't have to worry ."

Her almond eyes stare into mine making me forget I was carrying a toddler and allowing those intrusive thoughts to return .

"promito mio." My Italian accent returns most of the time when I spoke , so she adjusted to it quite quickly . "I promise ." She responds

Every inch of my body is telling me to place the kids in the playroom and lock them in so i can have time alone with my wife .

Lily climbs down me and disappears in the hallway with Kayden ."give them a few minutes before you go looking for them." Anya speaks , I always tend to smile when I'm around her .

"Is it bad that I just want to keep you to myself?" I admit, holding her close to me as the laughs of the children echo throughout the hallway.

"You do have me ." 

"I just wanna make love to you every time I see you."  By the look on her face I knew she could see the lust in my eyes . But after being celibate for a few years things like this tend to happen .

"I cold barely walk the other day ." She whines moving her hands onto my cheeks "that shows how good I'm fucking you hmm." Her face turns pink and she's quick to hide from me .

She's adorable- I did not just use that word

"Come on the kids are waiting ."
