HIS

Chapter 22

I discussed my plans for college with Domenico and he is in fully onboard and agreed that I should continue my studies online if I wanted to. This would give me more flexibility to focus on other things as well and he informed me that he would love for me to travel with him it I feel up to it.
We decided to get married this coming Saturday, which is tomorrow. I don't want anything big so we wanted to book one of the hotels because it would only be us and people from the mafia, but Matteo's mother insisted we held it on their estate.

I know everything between us happened really quick, but it feels right. I won't beat myself up for wanting to be happy. I live with no regrets.

I thought about asking Mia and Tessa to be my bridesmaids, that's why I'm on my way to their place now. I called them earlier and I explained what happened since the party and that there's no hard feelings from my side. Tessa and Mia cried their eyes out and it made me so sad that I didn't contact them before. They insisted that they were also to blame because we agreed to look after each other, but I told them not to beat themselves up and that everything was in the past now.
Domenico is dropping me off in front of the building. I didn't feel comfortable enough to drive.

I know they are where home and I could hear the soft music playing in the background, I decided to knock. A few seconds later the door opened and Mia stood there with dark circles under her eyes looking at me with a shocked expression on her face as her tears started to flow again.

I went in to hug her "don't cry, please don't cry or you'll make me cry too" I said, as I took her hand off the door handle, closing the door as I still held her crying figure in my arms.
"Mia, who's at the..." I heard a voice behind her that only belonged to Tessa.
"Olivia!" She said, shocked. I gave a faint smile and waved to Tessa and direct a still crying Mia to their living room. I then proceeded to give Tessa a hug after making sure Mia was seated.
"How are you feeling? Are you ok? I tried to come and visit you, but your boyfriend was too pissed at us for not looking after you. I don't blame him, though" Mia asked through her sobs.
"I did tell him you guys are not to blame, I'm to blame for my own mishaps in life that is caused by decisions I make" I told them.

"No, he's right and that could have happened to any of us. We went there as a group and had to look out for each other. I felt like I was going to get a heart attack when I saw you tried to call me, but I didn't hear my phone ring over the noise. I was beating myself up about everything, actually we both are still" Tessa depressingly mentioned.

"I don't want you guys to beat yourselves up about what never happened. It's over now. Let's move on from this. I hate seeing you in this state" I begged.

"Can you share with us what happened?" Mia asked.

I nod and started to explain everything in as much detail so they could also understand how everything came about. After I was done explaining I was bombarded with more questions.

"You were in a coma for that long? We thought he was lying to us and he didn't want us to see you" Tessa asked, shocked.

"No, he wasn't lying. He spoke the truth. My heart actually stopped on the way to the hospital and Domenico gave me CPR until we got to there and that's the reason I'm still here today".

"That's some hectic shit, but we are so glad you are alive and we love you so much. These couple of months was hell not knowing how you were. We went and knocked at your place every day, but there was no answer and we thought the worst happened" Tessa mentioned.

"I love you too" I said, as I got up and hugged the both of them.
"One of the main reason's I'm actually here is because I need to ask you guys a favor" both of them looked like I'm going to ask them to commit a murder and hide the body.
I took a deep breath "I want you both to be my bridesmaids and I hope you both say yes, because I want no one else but you two" I said, as I looked form the one to the other. Both of their mouths are hanging open in shock.

"You are getting married, to Mr. Sexy? Mia asked while pointing my way. I just nodded in response while waiting for their answer in anticipation.

"Yes!!!" they simultaneously screeched and both jump up and hugged me again.
We hug and held each other for a few seconds and then I decided to give them another shocking revelation.

"So, the wedding is kind of tomorrow" I said, as I lifted my hands in front of my face and peeped at them through the gap in my fingers.

"WHAT?!" the both of them screamed again in unison. While sat and laugh at their silly, yet excited shocked faces.
"Yeah, tomorrow" I confirmed, again.

"But we don't have dresses and shoes" Tessa reminded me.

"That is sorted girls, you just have to enjoy the day with me" I said, while smiling at them.

"You know we will. We love you so much, Liv" Tessa said.

"I love the both of you" I replied, smiling at them both.

"I'll text you guys all the details. I have to leave now, but I'll see you girls tomorrow morning for breakfast" I said, I got up to my feet to head out. After another long hug, we bid our goodbyes and I headed out. I walked over to my place and texted Domenico to keep him informed of my whereabouts. I made my way over to start packing my things for Domenico's guys to come and pick it up.

Luckily, I still kept the boxes from the time I moved in and when I bought stuff, so I had enough boxes for everything I owned. I moved into this place because it came fully furnished. I only have to take my clothes, bedding, towels, crockery, cutlery and some small stuff here and there.
I was done putting everything in their respective boxes when the door opened and in walked Domenico with some take-aways.

"Hey baby" he said, bending down and kissing me on the mouth

"Hi"

He placed the food on the table and helped me get up to my feet off the floor. He wrapped his arms around my waist, as he pulled me against his chest and started kissing me again, but this time with so much passion that I melted like a puddle of mush. I wrapped my hands around his neck while his hands slid down my back to my ass and he started to squeeze it. I moaned at the feeling and he use the opportunity to slide his tongue into my mouth. I don't know where I got the guts but I start sucking his tongue. I could feel something hard against my tummy and decide to put a stop to this before we go too far. We promised to do 'this' on our wedding night. When we pulled away from each other, I felt the hands that was on my ass was now under my t-shirt rubbing my bare back and it felt perfect.

"Why did you stop, Babe" he asked, as he brought his forehead to mine breathing hard while looking me in the eyes.

"Because we're getting married tomorrow and we have to finish packing, so we can head home"
He cleared his throat and turned his face toward the ceiling and blew out some hot air then released me from his grip.

"What do you still need to packed?" He asked, as he adjusted himself in his pants with annoyance clear in his voice and all over his face.

"No, everything is already packed, it just has to be moved to your place" I told him.

"Our place" he corrected me.

"Yes, our place. Come take a seat and eat with me" I ordered, as we headed over to the little dining table in the corner of the living room.

We both ate in silence and decided to leave as it was already late in the day. Domenico instructed his men to come and pick up the boxes while we were eating, so by the time we got home the boxes was already waiting at home to be unpacked. I started to slowly unpack, just as Domenico entered.

"Don't tell me you're going to unpack as well?" he asked, in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, I just thought while I was waiting for you, I'd unpack instead of sitting around and doing nothing. I thought you would be happy that I'm finally out of there and in your bed" I tauntingly smiled at him knowing that would get his attention.

"You know it would" he responded, smirking at me.

"Come let's head to bed, we have a long day waiting for us tomorrow" I said, as I took his hand and led him to our bedroom.

I would rather spend it with him then a bachelorette party. I hate traditions, so everything is done the way we want.
