Y/N pov:
It is so fucking hot. Like really hot. I don't understand it. Spring started two weeks ago. Who knew it could get this hot in March. Oh my god, I am dying.
"Hey princess, how are you and our little nugget this morning?" says Alessandro as he comes into our room, fully dressed for the day, and gives me and my belly a kiss.
"It's hot," I exhale.
"I know, I am not even bringing my jacket to the office," he says, as I take a closer look at his outfit.
"But I like the jacket," I say, crying.
"Oh princess, no need to cry. Today is only a short day so I'll be back in time for us to go out with our friends".
"Mm okay."
"See you when I get back," he said, planting a kiss on my forehead as he left the room.
I flicked the blanket off my body, then walked over to the mirror to look at my baby bump. I had only slept in my bra and panties as it was 35 degrees last night.
"Hey little nugget," I say to my tiny baby bump.
"We need to get some new clothes today because you're growing so fast and it's really hot, so please don't do anything crazy with me today".
I am sweating like crazy. It is so hot. I really need more clothes. All I have is a pair of denim shorts that are barely fitting as my bump grows and two white halter tops. I need a lot more. I need bikinis, cute and formal dresses, sundresses, cover-ups, shorts, maxi and mini skirts, sunglasses, sandals and more.
So if it's 7.30am and I have to leave the house at noon to meet my Alessandro, I have a three-hour window to shop. I need to find a guard to follow me so I can leave without Alessandro breathing down my neck. And I know who to ask.
I pick up my phone and call one of the guards.
"Hey Leonardo, can I ask you a favour?"
"I guess you want me to shadow you while you go shopping," he replies.
"Oh. How did you know?"
"Y/N, you have been complaining about not having enough clothes for two weeks now. I knew this would come in time."
"I'll take that rant as a yes. And thank God, because last time the creepy old man who does the bins took me and it was not pretty."
"I'll have the car ready in ten minutes," he says.
"Thank you Leonardo," I say and hang up.
Damn, I need to put on some make-up to cover my eye bags. And maybe some mascara and brow gel. Oh, and blush and highlighter.
As I'm doing the touch ups, I hear my phone ring, it's Leonardo.
"Yes, Leonardo."
"I said the car would be ready in 10. That means be ready in 10. It's been 20. Get your butt down here."
"Just because you're having a quarter life crisis doesn't mean you should take it out on me," I mumble before hanging up.
I run down the stairs and into the front gate area to see Leonardo standing leaning against the car.
"If Alessandro saw you doing that, he would cut your head off and eat it with dessert. He likes his cars very much".
"And he likes his lady, which is why I have to do this."
"Do what?" I ask.
He doesn't answer, he just opens the car door, then gives me his hand.
"Oh, thank you. I guess that comes with the price of your head."
"Just get in the car," he warned, so I did.
He runs over to the other side. Jumps into the driver's seat and starts the car.
"Can I ask you a question?" he asks
"Sure, anything."
"Why the hell is your bag so big?"
"Well, I have everything. In this bag I have lip stuff. Like lip mask, lip bblam, lip shines, lip plumbers and best of all, lip glosses. In here I have body spray and perfume and in this bag I keep my card. Alessandro doesn't know it's there, so when I go shopping I can spend my money. It feels better that way. Wait a minute."
"Ypu good?" asks Lorenzo.
"My card is shredded." I pull out Alessandro's card, "That little rat shredded my card and put his in. I am going to kill him."
"Killing someone for giving you money is a motive I have never heard before."
"I know that io have stopped working after getting married but i still have my own money, I want to spend it."
"Just let it go. You will never win."
"But that doesn't mean I can't try."
"Good luck with that," he remarks before accelerating the car.
-Time skip-
Two hour later
"I think you have enough of these tops, Y/N," Leonardo tells me as he looks through all the bags.
"I had to get all the colours. But that is not the point. Do you think Alessandro will be angry with me for using his card?" I ask.
"Hell no, if anything he'll probably throw you a party for it. He has told you many times to use it."
"Well that's good because he texted me two minutes ago asking if I was shopping, so he knows".
"He knows everything. Now let me get you home before you are late for your little hang out."
"A little jealous, are we?"
"Just get in the car before I leave you here with 20 grand worth of shopping bags."
"OK, I get your point. Now drive."
-Time skip-
15 minutes later
"Thanks for the ride, Leonardo."
"All good, take care."
I walk over to the boot and open it. I lift all the bags onto my arms and walk slowly but carefully up the stairs. I realise that I need to open the bedroom door but all my hands are full so I use the next best thing, my foot. I open the door and quickly rush to get all the bags off my arm as it is cutting off the circulation.
I empty all the bags and separate them into groups. Top, bottoms, shoes, make up and jewellery.
"So you went shopping," a voice calls from the door,
I turn to see my husband leaning his hand against the top of the door, looking me up and down. His hair was perfectly done and his strong cologne wafted gently into my nose, filling me with comfort.
"Yes I did, I got a bit of everything really," I say giggling.
"Do you like it?" I spin around and show him one of the dresses I bought, "do you think it looks nice?" I ask.
"You're a Ferraro and Ferraros always look nice."
I smile and twirl again for good measure.
"How did you pay?" he asks, grinning, "my card?"
"Technically, it had my name on it, so it's kind of mine."
"True, that other card of yours I found."
"I know," I say, putting on a fake pout.
"Don't be angry, you have a new card now."
"Fine, I forgive you," I mumble before walking over and giving him a kiss.
"Now let's get you ready to go out with our friends."
