Forced To Be With Him 24/7

Chapter 86

I end up sleeping until ten in the morning and then be awakened by morning sickness which makes me appreciate the trash can Jace brought last nigh that much more.

I take a shower and by the time I wear a pair of denim shorts and a halter top before going down, Jace is already cooking breakfast. When I tie my now longer hair in a messy up do and rush down the stairs, he is almost finished with the omelette he is making.

"Oh hey, good morning." He says as he puts a plate filled with food in front of the other on the marble kitchen counter.

"I heard you in the shower and whipped some eggs with some mortadella. The eggs come from the barn and the mortadella is sausage from a neighbor down the street. The tea is also fresh." He says as he fills a cup for me and hands it to me. Overwhelmed, I sit in front of him when his toast come out the oven and he places the olive oil spread buns in my plate.

"I am sorry if they are not that good. My mamma always cook but my pappa is an early bird, they have breakfast at seven in the morning and I didn't want to wake you." Jace rambles when I put a piece of omelette in my mouth and the explosion of taste is unreal.

"Jace this is really good." I say as I eat more of this Italian sausage I have never heard of.

He smiles proudly as he sits down and starts to enjoy his tea. I can see he ate at his mothers.

"Glad you like it. How did you sleep?" He asks as his cat, Penne jumps out onto the kitchen counter and hisses at me.

"Don't think we broke the ice last night." I say as I try to pet this creature. I'm a dog person and cats don't like me just like I don't like them.

When I am about to touch her head, she scratches me and Jace pulls her away.

"Thats not nice Penne!" He says and lets her down.

I look at my palm thats now bleeding. That cat really doesn't like me.

"Need a band aid?" He asks as I wipe the blood off coming from the three streaks on my skin.

"No, I'm fine." I say as I ignore the cat and eat my food. I like that she likes Jace so much.

After breakfast Jace shows me around the vineyard and when the lab and Luca join us, I play with the gold colored dog while they walk with us.

Jace shows me the barn, I meet a few of the workers, I feed the chickens, pet the horses, go into the fermentation houses where they turn grape juice to wine and milk fat to cheese.

Jace has me taste almost every wheel of cheese and the un-fermented grape juices only. The land is so big, it takes us a whole day to do just those and before sun down, I find myself beside Mia in the kitchen, rolling fresh pasta and learning secret recipes.

When night falls and me and Jace end up on a swing set on the back yard, all alone, staring at the starry sky, I lean on his shoulder and try to pretend that is my life.

That I'm engaged to Jace or something, that I live in Italy, am pregnant with his child, that this vineyard is part mine. Its a sweet life. Living with his family who already accepted me as one of their own is paradise and Tuscany is a beauty beyond description.

He could make me happy perhaps. He would surely love me and try to keep me happy but I don't know how I would survive without Harry. I know I would survive, I just can't predict the scars of loosing the love of your life forever.

Its funny how if I hadn't met Harry and fell in love with him which made me upset over him going to Barbados which led me to a bar and ultimately to Jace. If I hadn't fallen in love with Harry, I would have never met him.
