Prisoner In His Cage

chapter 12 :

Spring had brought new life to Venice, mirroring the fresh start for Kelly and Alexandro. Their journey had been arduous, filled with trials and heartbreak, but now they were ready to embrace the joy and laughter that life had to offer.

One sunny morning, Kelly woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside the window. She stretched and smiled as she felt Alexandro’s arm draped over her. The warmth of his presence was a comfort she had missed during her coma.

“Good morning, sleepyhead,” Alexandro murmured, his voice still thick with sleep.

Kelly turned to face him, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Good morning. I was beginning to think you’d never wake up.”

Alexandro chuckled, pulling her closer in sweet morning kiss which was passionate. “I was enjoying the view.”

Kelly rolled her eyes, but her heart swelled with happiness. “Flattery will get you nowhere, Mr. Rossi.”

“Oh, really?” Alexandro teased, tickling her sides.

Kelly squealed with laughter, trying to squirm away. “Stop it! You know I’m ticklish!”

Alexandro grinned, finally letting her go. “I know. That’s why it’s so much fun.”

Later that day, Alexandro decided to surprise Kelly with breakfast. He insisted on doing everything himself, despite Kelly’s playful nature.

“Are you sure you don’t need any help?” Kelly asked, leaning against the kitchen counter. He slowly goes to towards her, picked her up and put on the kitchen counter and said,"Cara Mia I can even sacrifice my life for you. She kissed Alexandro forehead and said, This is not going to happen.

Alexandro waved her off, his expression determined. “I’ve got this. How hard can it be?”

Kelly giggled as she watched him struggle with the ingredients. “Famous last words.”

Half an hour later, the kitchen was a disaster zone. Flour covered the countertops, and there was an unmistakable smell of something burning.

“Uh, Alexandro?” Kelly said, trying to suppress her laughter. “I think the pancakes are supposed to be golden brown, not black.”

Alexandro looked at the charred remains of his attempt and sighed. “Okay, maybe I could use a little help.”

Kelly walked over and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out together. Just like everything else.”

As Kelly regained her strength, she returned to her studies at the University of Venice. Alexandro accompanied her, determined to support her every step of the way.

One afternoon, they sat together in the university courtyard, working on their respective assignments. Kelly noticed Alexandro struggling with a particularly dense economics text.

“Need some help, Mr. CEO?” she teased, leaning over to look at his notes.

Alexandro sighed dramatically. “Why is this so complicated? I run a company, and yet I can’t make sense of this.”

Kelly laughed, her eyes twinkling. “Because running a company doesn’t require you to understand microeconomic theories.”

Alexandro groaned, but a smile tugged at his lips. “I think I need a tutor. Know anyone who might be up for the job?”

Kelly pretended to think about it. “Hmm, I might know someone. But her rates are pretty steep.”

Alexandro leaned in, his voice low and playful. “I think I can manage that.”

One weekend, they decided to go grocery shopping together. It was a simple activity, but they found joy in the mundane task.

As they wandered through the aisles, Kelly couldn’t help but laugh at Alexandro’s serious approach to shopping.

“You know, you don’t have to inspect every single vegetable,” she said, watching him examine a tomato with intense focus.

Alexandro raised an eyebrow. “Quality control, Kelly. It’s important.”

Kelly shook her head, still laughing. “You’re too much.”

When they reached the ice cream section, Alexandro turned to her with a grin. “How about some dessert?”

Kelly’s eyes lit up. “Only if we get the double chocolate fudge.”

Alexandro pretended to ponder. “I don’t know. That sounds pretty indulgent.”

Kelly gave him her best puppy-dog eyes. “Please?”

Alexandro chuckled, shaking his head. “How can I say no to that face? Double chocolate fudge it is.”

That evening, they decided to have a movie night. They piled blankets and pillows on the couch, creating a cozy nest. Kelly picked a romantic comedy, much to Alexandro’s mock dismay.

“Really? A rom-com?” he asked, feigning horror.

Kelly nudged him playfully. “You’ll survive. Besides, you might even enjoy it.”

As the movie played, Kelly snuggled into Alexandro’s side. They laughed at the cheesy dialogue and predictable plot twists, finding comfort in each other’s presence.

During a particularly sappy scene, Alexandro leaned over and whispered, “You know, I think our story would make a much better movie.”

Kelly smiled, her heart full. “Maybe, but I’m glad we’re living it instead.”

Their days were filled with moments of sweetness and laughter, the kind that made life worth living. Whether it was teasing each other over breakfast, working side by side at the university, or simply enjoying each other’s company, they found joy in the little things.

One night, as they lay in bed, Alexandro turned to Kelly, his expression soft and serious. “You’ve brought so much light into my life, Kelly. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

Kelly’s eyes shimmered with tears of happiness. “And you’ve shown me that love can conquer even the darkest times. I’m so grateful for you, Alexandro.”

They shared a tender kiss, their hearts intertwined. Venice, with its timeless beauty and enduring spirit, stood as a testament to their love a love that had weathered storms and emerged stronger, brighter, and full of hope.
