Mi Amore

Chapter 44-Anastasia

I slowly flutter out of sleep before, I feel someone softly shaking me before I feel the tears streaming down my cheeks."Hey,hey.Im here,don't worry,"Grayson says."I'm sorry, Grayson.I'm sorry,"I say,sobbing.Another nightmare.Again?."There's nothing to be sorry about,baby.Whats wrong?"He says."I-I j-just don't know,"I sob."It's okay,baby.Im here for you, and I always will be,"he comforts me."Thank you, Grayson,"I say, calming down and hugging him.He kisses my forehead and releases me. I'm so in love with this man.

"I'm gonna shower now,"I say,getting out of bed."Want me to join you, or should I wait here?"He asks."I want you with me,"I say,standing up and walking to the bathroom.He follows me and turns on the shower.I begin taking off my pajamas, and I walk in the shower with him.I begin washing my body,feeling his stare,piercing into me.He pushes me into the wall and I feel his bulge pressing into my thigh."You okay,love?"He asks."Yeah,why?"I ask."No reason,"he says,stepping back."Okay,I guess,"I say,continuing washing my body.He finishes showering and walks out with a towel around his waist.

I stand in the warm, cooling water for longer until I feel euphoric inside.I walk out of the shower and dry my body before wrapping a towel around my body.I walk out the bathroom and open my suitcase on the bed.I take out my white  sundress and sandals for later.I wear the sundress and leave my sandals on the floor."You ready for breakfast?"He asks,raking his eyes all over me."Yeah,and my eyes are up here,babe,"I say,chuckling."Oh,right,sorry,"he says,rubbing his neck."Let's go upstairs,"I say,walking over to him.He swoops me off my feet and walks upstairs.

"Can we make more biscot?Sorry for the pronunciation,"he asks,putting me on the floor."Yes,we can,and that was a good try.I couldn't say that till I was five,"I say,chuckling.We walk downstairs together into the kitchen with a comfortable silence.

"You ready for this,babe?"I ask."When I'm with you,I'm ready for anything,"he says."Let's do this then,"I say.

☆one and a half hours later☆

We finish making the biscotti, and we walk to the table.We eat the delicious biscotti together and enjoy.

He takes our plates away into the kitchen,leaving me behind.I think the time has come.Its time Mama and Papa know that me and Grayson are together,so it isn't a shock when we get married."Let's go,"I say,standing and walking upstairs as soon as he gets back in the dining room.He follows me up to the sunbeds, and we lie down.He takes my hand in his and looks right in my eyes."You sure you good baby?You can talk to me if there is something bothering you,"he says."I'm sure I'm good.Thank you,"I say."Okay,we'll be there in the next three hours so we can watch another movie if you would like,"he suggests."Can we watch beauty and the beast this time?"I ask."Anything for you,love,"he says,sitting up.

We walk downstairs hand-in-hand and lie down on the bed together.He lies his head on my stomach, and I turn on the movie.

☆two hours and ten minutes later☆

I wake up to a blanket over me, but no Grayson besides me.I sit up and take my phone from the bedside.I take pictures of the minimalistic ring on my finger at the perfect angle."Hey baby,"he says."Oh hey babe.Im just taking pics of my new ring,"I say,looking up at him."Can I join?"He asks."Why, of course,"I say.He sits beside me, and I place my thigh on his leg.I take his hand and place it on my thigh.I take more photos with my new background and delete the old ones. I need to print these. "Now to send then on the A ladies group," I mutter,sending them.He caresses my leg, sending butterflies right through me, and I glance at him."We're gonna be home soon,okay?"He says."Va bene,"I say."Um,what does that mean exactly?"He asks."It means okay,love,"I say,chuckling and placing my phone down as I remove my leg from his.

I wonder if the ladies think we're getting married.Well, they're not far off. We're gonna get married one day,but not now.Ive been wanting to ask Grayson if he wants children,but I just don't have the courage to.He walks back to me and takes my sandals.He bends on one knee and slips them on my feet.No one has ever put on my shoes for me before.He stands up and looks at me with the lightest smile I have ever seen."There you go,love,"he says.He puts out his hand, and I take it.He leads me downstairs to a random wall."This right here is my secret room.The code is 0902,so if there is something you would like to observe in any of my houses.This is where to find it,"he says."Why?"I blurt out."Because what's mine is yours,baby,"he says.
