Bella Mafia

Chapter 59

(Continuation of chapter 58)

I rolled over and groaned as my body hit another.  Trying to clear my thoughts, I realized it was Bri.  Oh yeah, Vincent texted me and said that she would be staying with me and that he was with Luca across the hall.

I cleared the haze from my mind as I tried remembering where my phone was and after looking in the bed and under the bed, I sighed and threw myself back against my pillow and when my hands slid under the pillow, guess what I found?  Yep, my phone!

Double tapping it, the first thing that met my eye was a picture of Vincent and I, leaning against his tree.  I'd taken it yesterday and used it as my screensaver. 

I loved how great we looked together and the fact that with our heritages and looks, we were gonna make beautiful babies one day. 

One day?  I thought?  I was twenty-four and Vincent was getting ready to turn thirty in four and a half months.  Did he want to wait that long?

And then the realization hit me, we really hadn't talked about children.  I didn't even know if Vincent wanted kids.  But I did.  Oh boy, I thought.  This might be a problem.

I checked my phone for the time.  It was ten thirty!  "Bri!" I yelled tripping over the sheets that how somehow ended up on the floor and ran into the bathroom.

"Bri!" I yelled a little louder.  "What?"  Her voice was mumbled as she fought to sit up and when she did, I almost lost it.  Her hair looked like a bird's nest, was stuck to the side of her face and she had drool glistening on her cheek.

I started laughing and slid down to the floor while she scowled at me.  Bri, my beautiful sister, looked like she'd had a wild night in a brothel!

"Why did you wake me?" She emphasized the word 'why' and then I had to break the bad news to her.  "Because my dear tesoro, it's ten thirty, that's why."

She screeched and proceeded to trip over said sheets just as I had, running to the bathroom.  We were in panic mode but we had both washed our hair the day before, so we only needed to wash our bodies and shave.  Wait, I take that back, she will definitely have to wash her hair!

I went first, while she got out makeup, our dress bags, my veil bag, the garter and my sexy lingerie that I was wearing underneath my dress.

She got our shoes and pulled out the suitcase I was working on for my honeymoon.  Vincent had his packed already and had it with him and mine would be finished when I was ready for the wedding.

When I got out of the shower, she had my robe and I slipped out of my towel and pulled the robe over my body and started looking at everything she'd laid out.

I fingered the beautiful strapless, lace boustier/corset top, panties and sheer thigh highs. It was a gift from Bri and her mother and what made them get it for me was the fact I had never worn garters and it was sexy.

Next there was the new white bikini I had bought. Vincent had given me money and wanted me to buy some things to bring for our trip, so this and my going away dress was two of the things I purchased.

The dress was adorable and I couldn't help but think he would love it on me, it was floral print on a baby blue background and the bodice was a corset type with spaghetti straps. I had found some cute pale, peach colored flats and chic peach necklace to complete the outfit.

Once I'd checked over everything and while I waited for Bri to finish in the bathroom, I checked my phone. One text and it was from Vincent.

Good morning, my beautiful fiore. Today is the day and I hope you will be as happy as I am right now! I love you and will see you soon, Mrs. Siranni!

I happily swiped the tears from under my eyes, as I responded back to him. Good morning back! You have no idea how excited I am to be your wife! I love you and will see you soon, Mr. Siranni!

"Okay! Chop, chop!" Bri yelled, indicating that she was done with her shower. I took my place in the proffered chair, as she worked on my hair first, then my makeup.

When she was done with me, it was her turn for hair and makeup. We were both immensely happy with what we'd done and then Bri said she was going to get us something for breakfast.

"Great!" I said. "I'm starving!" So while Bri was gone to get food, I worked on my vows. I knew it was going to be easy to write because when you love someone as much as I loved him, it would just flow out.

After finalizing what I wanted to say, I stuck the slip of paper with Vincent's ring box so I knew I wouldn't forget it.

"Calli!" I heard Bri from outside the door and ran to open it.  Holy God she had two cups of coffee and a bag full of zeppole, complete with a container of dipping sauces.

"Oh.my.God!" I moaned as I sipped the coffee and then let out another moan as I bit into a fresh zeppole.  It was heaven in a bag and cup.

"I know, it's so good" Bri mumbled between chews.  "How are things going with you and Luca?" I asked her as I sipped my coffee.

She smiled and had a dreamy look in her eyes.  I recognized it because I had the same look, or I was told I did, when I talked about or thought about Vincent.

"He's simply amazing" she replied, definitely sounding like a girl in love.  "Well you both seem very happy, a blind man could see that" I remarked.

"He does make me happy, Calli.  Just like I know Vinny makes you happy.  I see it all over your face and his, if we're being perfectly honest" Bri said.

"I do try to make him happy" I told her.  "You do, sis, you do" she said as she popped another zeppole in her mouth.  Once we were finished, it was time to floss, brush and mouthwash again and then freshen up our faces.

Geez!  It was twelve forty-five!  Bri decided that she would get ready first, saving her shoes for last and then she could help me get ready.

"Mama and Aunt Ines are already dressed and going over last minute things with Franco" Bri mentioned.  I nodded and said "Oh great, I was hoping they would do that."

"I saw Vinny this morning too" she threw in there.  I just looked at her and smiled.  "How'd he look?" I asked while putting toothpaste on my brush.

"Like he's about to marry the prettiest girl in the world!"
