Bella Mafia

Chapter 37

Vincent took Calli several more times in the shower before they had exhausted one another...again. She couldn't seem to get enough of him and truth be told, he felt the same way.

It wasn't all sexual with him either, he loved how her mind worked, how she challenged him, made him laugh and caused him to see things that he'd let pass by.

After they'd dried off, Vincent came up behind Calli, who was still wrapped in her towel, and took her hairbrush and spray product she used in her hair and said "Here baby.  Let me." 

Calli handed him the brush and spray with a smile and he watched her close her eyes as the brush glided through her long, silky hair.  He leaned in and inhaled.  "Your hair smells delicious.  How do you get it smelling so good?" It was an intoxicating and fruity scent.

"It's papaya and mango" she murmured as he continued brushing her hair.  He handed her the brush when he was finished.  "Thank you baby" she said as she held his glance in the mirror.

"There are some things I need to discuss with my father and after that, I would like to take you into the village for the day.  How does that sound?"

She turned and placed her hand to the side of his face and said "Spending the day with you in Sicily?  That's a no brainer" she ended with a smile.

Vincent left her to finish getting ready and went to dress himself.  He decided to wear soft, worn jeans, a V necked grey tee shirt and comfortable Italian leather loafers.  Running his fingers through his hair, he was happy with his appearance and left to have a conversation with his father.

Descending the last stair, he found the house still quite and void of activity or people so he knew his dad would be in his study.  These were the times he could get a lot done.

He could hear Alberto on the phone as he neared the study and recognized the voice of one of the winery shareholders.  They were discussing Dante.

"Isack, I promise all will be revealed on Monday at the next meeting.  I still have to show Vincenzo what was discovered and how we are going to handle this.   Please let the other shareholders know that we have it under control.  Grazie" he said, ending the conversation.

Vincent pushed his way into the study and confronted his father.  "You have proof that stronzo has been stealing from us?"  He demanded to know.

Alberto surprised him by smiling.  "Your beautiful fiancé is who we need to thank for getting us the proof we require.  She used that degree and her beautiful mind, looked at what I had gathered, dug around and found it all.  Here, look" he said handing his son the manilla folder.

Vincent fixed a tumbler with scotch, took it and the folder and sat down across from him at his desk.  He looked through all the papers, documents and pieces of receipts where things had been circled and highlighted.

He could feel the rage building in him, not at Calli, but at that douche bag Dante for thinking he'd get away with it.  He hoped that Dante was caught up on his confessions because he was going to need a priest when he was finished with him.

He looked at his father after reading the damning evidence, handed it all back and watched his father put it back in the safe.

"Calli said that she would be glad to come with us to the next meeting, if further explanation was needed.  She also asked if I thought Dante was smart enough to pull this off without help" Alberto told his son.

"Well, what did you say?" Vincenzo asked.  Rubbing his chin, the elder Siranni leaned back in his desk chair and looked thoughtfully at his son.

"I believe so yes but on the other hand, if he did sucker some poor unsuspecting shmuck,  he'd get rid of them and tie up loose ends."

Vincent nodded and agreed with his father's assessment.  He would deal with this later because today was all about Calli and him.

"Papa, we will deal with this accordingly, but today I'm taking Calli into the village and spending the day with her.  If you need me or anything at all, I'm leaving Niccola here."

About that time, a soft knock was heard on the study door.  Alberto said "Come in."  He smiled and rose to his feet, as did Vincent, at the beautiful girl in front of them.

Calli's skin was smooth and glowing, her hair was long and silky and her long legs were encased in mint green lace shorts and a white, off-the-shoulder blouse.  She was a vision.

She smiled as she walked towards Alberto and kissed his cheek.  "Good morning papa" she said brightly.  "Daughter" he said kissing both cheeks.

Then she turned to Vincent.  "Good morning, baby" she said as she hugged him.  He wrapped his arms around her, tightly pulling her to him.

"Dad showed me what you found concerning Dante and his treachery.  Would you feel comfortable coming with us Monday morning for the shareholders meeting?  Present your findings and answer any questions?"

Calli nodded.  "Anything to help keep the good name of Siranni in good standing.  I think it's deplorable to bite the hand that feeds you."

Vincent leaned down and kissed his fiancé's cheek and asked if she was ready to go.  She nodded excitedly, so they bid Alberto goodbye and headed of for a day of fun.

Once in the car, Vincent looked at Calli and said "You look truly beautiful this morning.  And you smell so good" he finished as he inhaled from a strand of hair.

She smiled at him and said "You look really good too.  I like the casual look on you, very much.  I think you would look good in anything."  She had no idea what an ego booster she was.

It took them about thirty minutes to reach the area where Vincent wanted them to start from.  He watched Calli breath in deeply as she tried take it all in at once.

He took her to a local cafe where he said if he couldn't get his mom's zeppole, this was the next best thing.  He ordered a chocolate sauce made with Nutella and another one made with raspberry and sugar.

They got some local coffee, sat beneath an umbrella covered table and enjoyed the fresh pastries and savory hot drinks.

Vincent found that after spending the day with Calli, he had begun to fall deeper in love with her than he thought possible.  He could definitely see forever in her eyes and he wanted that for both of them.
