The call on the phone was just one of my men informing me that the attack on my warehouses from a few months ago was handled. I was supposed to go down to Mexico to handle it, but it seemed like all they needed was for my dad to have a pep-talk with them before they got into their right mind

When I returned to the room Stella looked upset, like something was bothering her. I didn't know why or what was causing her to feel that way but all that she said was, "Nothing. I think I might be coming down with something." Classic move. 

I have a twin sister and eyes so I know that what she said was a flat out lie. If she wasn't really coming down with something, karma was gonna come sneak up on her and make sure she actually came down with something. Trust me. 

I let her get away with it, much like I do with everything she does. I just smothered her with kisses and hugs until she couldn't breath and handed her my credit card to go shopping with Spencer and the girls. If she's anything like Rory, shopping will do the trick for about a couple hours before she starts to remember what's upsetting her. 

But by that time, we'll already be on a plane headed to Skiing Range in Colorado. It's a complementary snow cabin resort with 3 stories and it's secluded in the woods. I plan to stay there for at least a week so that way we arrive the day we're supposed to have dinner with Silva. 

I of course rented out the whole cabin, I was almost going to reserve the whole retreat for that matter but- Oh never mind, I did. The place looked nice from the pictures I've seen online and I sent some of my men there to check it out and make sure it was clear from any suspicious activity before we arrived.

I could do it myself but I'm a Mafia boss for a reason. I may as well use it to my advantage.

I was considering flying out the rest of the team to Colorado, but I decided I deserved a break from those mindless rats. Maybe I'll fly them out the last days of our vacation, but for the meantime I was going to enjoy being free to spend time with my girl. 

Sometimes I even forget she's a doctor. That's until she opens her mouth to say something nerdy about being a doctor. I find it adorable whenever she rambles on and on about her job and how she helps people her eyes sparkle and it's just the prettiest thing ever.

I left my room to go down to my office, just to be sure that I handled all of my serious business that I had to be in person for before going off. As the boss, I barely got any vacations unless you count going off to other countries to check on shipments and business as a vacation. 

Most of my time is spent in Italy handling my Mafia. That's what I signed up for, so that's what I have to do. It's on me to make sure that everyone is safe, paid, accounted for and has everything. 

After going through some papers and information with my team, we headed out to check out the warehouses and make sure everything was up to date with the shipments before I took off. I'd hate it if I was here for so long and the minute I leave the country something crazy happens. 

I figured she wouldn't exactly be very adamant of leaving all the potential patients and people that could need her to do her doctor shit. Which is why I figured it would work out beautifully if I wait until she falls asleep, blindfold her, put a sock in her mouth and carry her to the plane. Some part of me realized that that would be an insane idea and could perhaps give her PTSD from the first time something similar happened to her. 

I wonder who would dare do such a thing...

I was joking about my whole plan by the way. I'm an adult. I can tell her like an adult because who in their right mind would turn down an all-expenses paid trip with a gorgeous man such as myself to accompany them to the snowy slopes of Colorado. I wouldn't. I feel like it's a very much needed break and an opportunity that not very many people get.
