Mila

After my shower with Gio where by the way, we just showered, I refuse to be caught in the act while we have a full house downstairs, I change into some sweats and we make our way downstairs.

I hear chatter in the living room from the kids who were up way before us, once I step foot into the living room Serge perks up like a puppy reuniting with his owner and runs over to us. "Mila!" He shouts as he wraps his arms around me causing me to chuckle. "I missed you guys so much."

"You told us a thousand times already!" Isa shouts and he lets go of me to look at her.

"I'm showing my love." He frowns and she rolls her eyes before giggling.

"We love you too swergio," Cade says as he attempts to say his name causing me to laugh.

Sergio holds a hand to his heart. "I'm gonna cry."

"You're so fucking dramatic. Move." Dario pushes him out of the way causing me to laugh. "Welcome back Mila." He tells me.

"I missed you too Dario." I raise a brow at him and he smiles slightly as he walks past me into the kitchen.

"Fucking rude," Serge mumbles as he goes to sit on the couch.

Victoria gets up and walks over to me, she crosses her arms as she tries her best at a glare but ends up looking like a sad puppy. "Don't leave me like that again." She gives up the act and pulls me into a hug.

"I'm sorry V."

"At least take me with you next time." She whispers and I chuckle at that.

"There won't be a next time, I'm here to stay... I promise this time."

"Good, it was getting depressing watching him rot without you." She says that part quietly enough for just me to hear and I chuckle.

She pulls away from me and walks into the kitchen following after Dario.

Suddenly the door barges open and in walks in Rory. "You're here!" She says with a big grin on her face. "Sergio told me you were, but I had to come to see for myself he's known for lying." She says as she glares at him and he gives her a blank stare.

"I wouldn't lie about that." He says.

"Yes, you would!"

"Ror.."

"Anyway, what the hell were you thinking? Why would you leave without saying bye!"

"Rory I didn't tell anyone bye."

"I mean yeah, that's kinda the whole point of running away... but you could've told me, I'm the only one who would dare to keep something from Gio."

"Excuse me?" Gio pipes in and she waves him off as he sits near the kids.

"Butt out." She says.

"I'm sorry Rory, I missed you though."

She grins at that. "Who wouldn't? I'm amazing."

"Yeah, amazingly an asshole." Sergio rolls his eyes.

"What was that?" She glares at him and he holds his hands up and shakes his head.

"Nothing."

"Pussy." She calls him.

"Demon."

"Idiot."

"Asshole!"

"Liar!"

"B-"Before he can finish his word she speaks.

"Bunny!!" She shouts.

"Where!!" He jumps up in fear, standing on the couch as he looks around the room, frantically looking for said bunny, it doesn't exist by the way.

I knew he had a fear of bunnies but Jesus.

His hand was on his heart as he finally calmed down when Rory busted into tears as she laughed.

He gets down from the couch and I watch as the kids laugh at him as well. "You're such..." Rory laughs. "A punk!" She continues and he glares at her as he walks over.

"Dick move Ror." He says as he walks past and into the kitchen, not a single hint of humor in his voice.

I look at Rory. "Maybe that was too far?" I ask and she looks at me, and then at his back as he walks away from us.

"Shit." She says as she walks after him. "Come on Serge I was just kidding." She says.

"That wasn't funny!"

"It was a little funny." She says and I chuckle as I make my way over to the couch where my little family sits, I sit down next to Gio as the kids busy themselves with whatever it is they are doing.

He wraps his arm around me and brings my forehead to his lips. "They're dysfunctional." He tells me and I chuckle at that.

"Yeah they are... but I love them." I smile, I loved the little family I had with Gio and his friends, they may be a little dysfunctional and messy but I wouldn't want to be around anyone else.

"What is the story between Rory and Serge, did they used to date or something? They argue like a married couple."

"They have some shared history, they act like they hate each other when in reality all they need to do is fuck and make up, it a long story."

"Swear jar daddy." Isa pipes up.

He chuckles. "Shit I didn't think she was listening."

"I think you should pay me 500 dollars in advance," Isa says. "And that's just for today."

I think she would need a little more than 500 dollars, this is Gios mouth we're dealing with.

"Yeah, watch the dirty mouth around my babies."

"I'm sorry," he says as he pulls two fifty-dollar bills out of his pocket and hands them to her. "I hope all of this money is going to something good."

She smirks at that. "Don't worry daddy, it is." She says as she snatches the bills and runs upstairs to stash them in her 'swear jar'

"You spoil them."

"As long as they're happy."

"What about me? I want to be spoiled." I smile at him and he looks at me as he raises a brow.

"Oh yeah?"

"Mhm."

His fingers run up and down my arm as he stares at me, I look up at him and smile as he answers. "What do you want?" He says.

"Anything?" I ask and he nods, he looks almost mesmerized as he answers me.

"Anything."

"First, I want a date, everything between us happened so fast and we skipped all of the dating stuff... I mean we're married for Christ's sake."

"You want a date?" He smiles.

I nod. "I've never been on one," I say as my fingers fiddle with the hem of his teeshirt. "I want you to take me out on a date."

He smiles. "Okay."

"Yeah?" I smile and he nods.

"Anything you want."

I smile as I lean against his shoulder.

I loved this man, so much.
