His Tesoro (MxM)

Chapter 97

Stefano

"So you think I'm an ungrateful bitch huh"? I asked teasingly and he just smiled and hid his face in my chest, causing me to chuckle out lightly, it takes a lot to get Matteo so flustered and free around me, and it's actually really cute knowing I can get him like this with me, the all mighty Matteo, getting flustered because of me and just a few words

"I didn't mean that, and in my defense I was drunk" he muttered against my chest and I placed my hand on his head and felt the softness in his hair, stroking it gently, we finally had breakfast and we were now outside the balcony, overlooking the city.

This was my favorite place in my penthouse and I'm here with my favourite person, my life really is getting together, the only problem I have is Luke and my father, actually I had decided to go see Luke, my time away from Matteo made me realize that I can't hide away from him forever and have people fight for me.
"Drunk enough to know that I hurt you with my words" I stated and he pulled back and looked at me, his features softening as he cupped my face and smiled softly.

"Hey, you shouldn't beat yourself up on that" he whispered "and besides I'm at fault too, I should have told you I was going to see him, going behind your back was wrong of me" he said softly before he placed a chaste kiss on my lips, he pulled back and I looked at him with a warm smile and contentment, how the fuck did I end up with this beautiful man.

I guess my father was wrong all along, I did deserve to be happy, and I found my happiness in Matteo, I'm not going to spend my life alone like my father had told me, I had Matteo and of course Hewitt, what more could I want.

He placed his head back on my chest, burying his face into my chest, I rubbed his back as I looked down at the city, it was bustling with noises of cars and people, there was still something I wanted to discuss with Matteo, but I didn't want it to start another fight between us, the last thing I want is to be away from, I barely survived the last one.

But I had to get this off my chest, and I didn't want to go behind his back, we promised each other no secrets between us and I didn't want to be the one to break that promise now.
"Baby" I called and he hummed and looked at me, I missed the warmth his hug had been giving me, and the moment he looked at me, I suddenly lost my nerves to tell him, what if he gets angry again, or what if he doesn't let me or agree with me, I sighed out and decided to do something else that will ease my nerves, maybe after I'll tell him.

Definitely I won't hide it from him, but I need to gather my nerves before I actually tell him, so I slowly placed my hand on his shoulder "come with me, I wanna show you something" I whispered as I wrapped my hand around his wrist and pulled him up, making my way inside

"Okay..." I heard him drawl out as I dragged him with me towards my bedroom, I was going to show him that journal Hewitt had given me and a few pictures of me and Luke, and maybe the painting of my first crush, all things from my past, I brought the box back to my penthouse a few weeks back, I don't see a point hiding it when Matteo already knew everything about me.

I pushed my door open and we stepped in, I left him standing close to the bed when I walked towards my closet, I pulled it open and squatte down the shoe rack, I rummaged through, pushing some shoes back as I saw the red box sitting down there, I picked it up and brought it out, closing the closet, I blew away some of the dusk on the box before I made my way back to the bed, Matteo was looking at me with a frown, I think he recognized the box "come on" I whispered as I sat down and placed the box on the bed, he sat beside me, the box in between us.

"What are you doing"? He asked when I opened the box and brought out the red journal, this book held a lot of memories of my life, and I didn't think I would ever just throw it away.
