Vivian River

I woke up with a sore throat and a really bad headache. I lifted myself off my bed and walked downstairs to see Enzo, shirtless, making pancakes. Kai, Kayden and Colt were all round alongside their girlfriends.

Chloe, Jemima and Safia. They were the sweetest girls ever but I didn't talk to them. I stopped socialising with everyone after my Papa's death. I found it stupid to talk to people. I don't know why.

"Hey Vi." Jemima spoke with a smile. "It's Vivian." I muttered angrily. Enzo snickered slightly as he placed a pancake on to my plate.

Chloe was Kayden's girlfriend. Jemima was Kai's and Safia was Colts. I hated having everyone round now. I hated the noise, I hated it all.

"How you been Vivi?" Kayden said with a mouthful of pancakes. I shrugged. I felt bad for acting like a bitch, I didn't want to act like one so why was I being one?

"Sorry." I mumbled staring at everyone. "Vivian, you lost someone. We understand your behaviour and we don't mind it." Kayden said as he took my hand in his.

Quickly Enzo snatched my hand back earning a giggle from me. "Thanks guys." I said smiling.

"So Jems,Chloe and Safia where you all from?" I said awaiting responses. Enzo cleared his throat, seemingly as if he wanted to tell me.

"Jemima is from Ghana, Chloe is from England and Safia from Algeria." Enzo grumbled as he placed more pancakes into my plate. He smothered them with sauce and whipped cream.

He placed a little cherry on top and winked at me smirking. I giggled flustered.

After breakfast we all sat in the living room, we planned to rot in the house today. Enzo told me how they were all planning to stay for a couple days for business.

It could be even a month or more. Kai originally stayed in Enzo's home, he would go to Jemima's house more usually now. Although Kai could afford a house of his own he saw Enzo as his older brother.

Kai wrapped his arms around Jemima as they both chuckled quietly. "I love how everyone's so happy and in love now." I whispered to Enzo joyfully.

Enzo smirked at me "Mhm, so fucking in love." I rolled my eyes at him as I turned towards everyone. I rested my head on Enzo's chest.

"When's the wedding." Chloe asked. She was much more confident now. Before she would rely on Kayden to pretty much speak for her, she wouldn't even start any conversations she would just sit there and listen.

"I don't wanna do it, I don't want to walk the aisle without him. So I need to mentally prepare myself before anything." I muttered whilst playing with my fingers.

Enzo immediately stopped me from playing with my fingers and started playing with mine. I quickly got off my seat and walked outside to take a breather.

Enzo accompanied me. He trailed his hands on my waist and placed a couple kisses around my neck. "You look extra sexy today, what did you do different?" He growled in my ear.

"Hm, pregnancy glow?" I said sarcastically. He huffed at me as he walked back to the house. I followed him like a lost duck, holding on to one of his pinky fingers.

He led me to the kitchen as I sat on top of the counters. I rubbed my belly as I watched him bake some muffins?.

"Who's coming?" I asked. He shrugged his shoulders as he carried on baking. "I love baking, it takes my mind off everything." He mumbled kind of embarrassed.

I chuckled as I watched him bake "That's adorable my love." He scrunched his nose at me and made a vomit gesture playfully. I giggled as I read out the instructions.

He didn't even need no instructions, he told me how when he was younger his mum would cook for his dad's sluts. He would learn how to bake from watching her do it all day.

Although Stefano had not an ounce of respect for Enzo's mother, His mother still adored and worshipped him. Enzo told me how soon they fell in love and Dad's slut's would stop coming over.

He learnt how to bake and cook loads of food. At the ripe ages of 6 he would have to make his own food because his parents refused to help.

He told me how his parents told him they wouldn't even touch him as a newborn. They would leave him alone for hours crying as they fucked in another room. He told me how his parents once never fed him for a whole day resulting in him throwing up blood.

At the age of 5 his dad would beat him for not being able to cook food for his Dad's entire family. He told me how his mother, not once, read him a bedtime story so he would sneak out to hear Kai's mother tell Kai bedtime stories.

I watched him tear up a bit as he spoke. I jumped off the counter and hugged him. I gave him a long kiss, one he deserved. One he was hungry for. He wasn't breaking the kiss and I needed to catch my breath.

I tried to pull away and he let me but only 2 seconds later he crashed his lips on mine. He fought my tounge as his mouth was on mine. He grabbed a handful of my hair and the other hand was on my boob.

He slowly played with them kissing. He wanted more. "I'm pregnant." I whispered against his lips. "I know, I don't want sex I just want this." He muttered as he smashed his lips back on mine.

"Yuck!" A little voice yelled. I jolted back to see Kai's nephew in the kitchen. "Hey little one." His nephew ran as fast as he could out of the kitchen after seeing mine and Enzo's kiss.

I couldn't help but chuckle. Enzo smirked at me as he carried on baking.
