Bella Mafia

Chapter 79

(Continuation of chapter 78)

"Good morning sleepy head" I told Vincent, kissing his back.  "Good morning back" he said, his voice low and sexy from sleep.  "Did you sleep well, fiore?" Vincent asked me.  "Yep" I replied, very chipper for someone who'd stayed up half the night drinking and playing video games.  I figured it was because of all the sex plus my husband was home now.

Vincent chuckled, saying "Well someone is in a really good mood." I giggled all the way to the bathroom, sans any clothing, making my husband growl at me, while climbing from bed and following me into the en suite.

"Come here you" he breathed, trapping me against the bathroom counter. "Hmm well it looks like someone is very happy to see me" I husked, liking where this was heading. Good God my libido was in overdrive!

I loved having sex in the shower because you could get as dirty and nasty as you wanted and get clean at the same time...it was a win-win situation for all involved.

After Vincent and I took care of each other again, we got out, dried off and got dressed. I told Vincent that I would meet him downstairs.

I pulled my new pair of skinny jeans from my bag and looked around for the new tee I had bought to go with it. It was olive green, short sleeves with a V neck and the back hung down lower than the front. I paired it with some brown leather slip-on sandals to complete my look.

I towel dried my hair, leaving it natural and applied deodorant and lips gloss, gathered my purse and bag and was ready to go.

But before going down, I picked up my phone and called my mom back. "Calli, honey. Is everything okay?" She asked. "Mom everything is great." I told her. "Well I just wanted to make sure, you did call the other day" she commented. God that made me feel horrible.

"Mom I wanted to ask you something, but please listen to me before you respond, okay?" "Okay" she replied. Whew, here goes nothing.

"Vincent is going to send a plane to get you tomorrow afternoon to bring you back here to Sicily. I want you, me, Clarissa and Bri to spend time together. Everyone is fine with it and to be honest, I miss you mom. A lot." There. I'd said it.

"Oh Calli!" She exclaimed. "You have no idea how thrilled I would be to come visit. I have missed you so much and I have some things that I need to say to you in person. Yes, I accept and I can't wait to see you and the Siranni's again."

"Thank you mom. I am really looking forward to seeing you too. Get some rest now. It's a pretty long flight but the plane has a bedroom in it" I told her. We said our goodbyes and I couldn't help but think this was going to be the changing point for both of us.

Smiling, I walked out of our bedroom feeling lighter than air and leaving my bag by the door, I headed to the kitchen where everyone else had gathered. Bri picked up on my mood and called me out on it.

"Well, first of all" I said. "I have the most gorgeous, sexy husband on the planet, plus I have an amazing family" Bri went Awww while the guys snickered but I ignored them and finished. "And lastly, my mom is coming to visit! She accepted the invitation!" I said excitedly.

Vincent came over and kissed me and said how happy he was for me and then called his pilots and gave them flight instructions. For that, I gave him another kiss.

After the car was loaded, Bri rode in the front seat with Luca, while Vincent and I were in the back. Dom and Antonio rode in the car we were following while Meo and Niccola were in the car behind us.

We made it all the way back to Sicily with no incidents. Vincent was holding a lot of meetings behind closed doors with his father and his men but I tried not to worry about, knowing it had something to do with Dante.

I had told Clarissa that my mom was coming and she really seemed happy to hear it and asked Bri and I to follow her to one of the many guest rooms, to get it ready for our guest.

Bri spot dusted, I cleaned the bathroom and put out fresh towels and then Bri and I both helped Clarissa strip the sheets and put fresh ones on. With that done, we went back into the kitchen to work on dinner.

Clarissa had made a huge pot of Italian Wedding soup, because the evenings were starting to get cooler, salad and homemade garlic knots and for dessert she made cannoli. I was famished and couldn't wait to dig in.

"Mama is there anything else that we need to do for Vincent's birthday?" I asked while setting the table.  "Well we've already had one hundred twenty people RSVP, the cakes were ordered, the DJ is booked and the only thing I need to do is run into the village tomorrow or Saturday and get plates, napkins and party glasses because I don't know about you two, but I am not doing dishes!"  We all laughed at her statement.

With everything ready to eat, mama went to the study to get the men, while Bri and I talked about our clothes for her brother's birthday party. 

"I thought we could visit that first little boutique when we were looking for wedding dresses" I told Bri.  She liked that idea, so when Clarissa came back in, we told her that we would tag along with her if we could go shopping.  She was more than fine with that.

"I think I'm might look for a dress as well" she said.  "Oh Calli, why don't we shop on Saturday, when your mom is here, that way we'll make a girl's day of it and she can be included!"

Leave it to Vincent and Bri's mom to think so selflessly about others.  "I know she would appreciate it and so do I.  Thank you" I said giving her a hug.

We heard the men coming this way, so I grabbed the two bottles of wine from the cooler as we all got ready to settle down at the huge table.  It seemed like everyone was invited to dinner tonight and we'll isn't that what family is?

Vincent walked up to me and put his arms around my waist and hugged me tightly.  I loved the way he made me feel and so I told him.  "Thank you" I murmured quietly.  "For what, Tesoro?"  I stared up into his amazing eyes and said "For loving me."  "Always, baby.  Always."
