Omertà, Aufiero's Return

Chapter 9

Noelle rolled onto her side facing me. She smiles. "I would kiss you but your breath probably smells like ass" I chuckle. "Well goodmorning to you too"

"Where's our son?"

"Watching tv"

She sits up. "He wants to see all of us today"

"Noni will like that"

"I know right" Smiling, she pulls the covers off. "Call room service for breakfast" She tells me. "But I thought I was room service?" Smirking, she grabs a pillow and hits me. "It's too early to play this game."

Room service brought more food than we needed. Noni didn't seem to have a problem with eating the rest of the pancakes. He's probably gonna have a stomach ache later. Noelle, on the other hand, ate all the bacon. They're like savages when they eat.

I watched as Noni's eyes got bigger as we went through the gates of the white house. "This place is in one of my books"He whispers. The truck comes to a stop and he jumps out.

"NONI!" Noelle screams. He stops running. A secret service man grabs him. "Thanks Oliver" Noelle says grabbing Noni's hand. Noni looks at her with tears in his eyes. "Am I in trouble?"He asks. "No, why would you be?" He shrugs then looks at me.

"Those men are scary dad"

"They're not gonna hurt you"I tell him. "Good"

As we walk through the halls, Noni stares at everything. He even made little sounds at certain things. The secret service men stopped at a door and Noni screamed. "Is the president in there"

"Yes, he is Noni, but you've got to stop screaming"

"Sorry"He whispered.

"You guys can go in"Oliver says. Noelle opens the door and we follow. Noni stands beside me, clothing onto my leg. He greets Noelle with a hug. Noni lets me go and runs to her.

The president bends down to his height. "And you are?" Noni glances back at me. "Um, uh, uh"He stutters. Noelle laughs. Noni runs back to me, eyes watery than ever. "Hi Mr. President"I speak. Noelle giggles. He does too. "No need to be so formal. We're a family now. You can call me Tanner"

I nod, feeling kind of nervous. People like me don't end up here. He peers behind me at Noni who's still hiding behind my leg. "Are you gonna telk me your name?" He asks. Noni steps from behind me.

"My name is Noni"He says. "Hi Noni"

He quickly waves and walks behind my leg again. We all laugh. This is gonna be a long day.

Noelle
*back in Maryland*

"I was thinking, I could tell him about Karaon and maybe he could have him arrested" I suggested. Aufiero rubbed his chin. "You could. And you could also tell him how you were being a hoe and started this mess in the first place"

"Wow, you just had to go there didn't you"

He glares at me. "Yeah, I did"

"Pretty sure the president won't like the fact that you called his daughter a hoe"

"I mean, that's what you are"

My face softens. "Really?"

"Yes, really" He says. I look down as water pools in my eyes. "What the fuck is wrong with you? I thought we were over it. I thought we were gonna move past it"

"We were but, I just keep thinking about it. You let him have sex with you. You shared a piece of you that was only for me. You did that."

"And I'm sorry. I already feel bad enough about it, you don't have to keep throwing it in my face"
