I awoke to light kisses on the back of my neck. The soft, wet touch made me ticklish, causing me to stir. In any other moment, I would have been pissed that someone was waking me up from my slumber. But I didn't mind kisses, especially if they were from Giovanni. I turned over to face him and caught a playful smirk.
"Good morning." I whispered
"Buorgiorno."
He moved his arm and I caught a glimpse of red in my peripheral. I looked over and I could see his blood. I hopped out of bed to inspect the trail.
"You're bleeding." I stated
"I'm fine."
"You promised that we would get you looked at in the morning. It's morning."
He sighed and tossed the covers over so that he could stand.
"I'm going to get Giorgio." I told him
Before I was able to leave, he grabbed me and kissed me on my lips. It was so sensual, I nearly forgot what I was doing. I quickly pulled away, before exiting the room. I walked down the hallway in a hurry and knocked on Giorgio's door. I could hear shuffling on the other side, but he eventually opened the door shirtless with a pair of slacks on.
"Giovanni needs a doctor."
"I know."
"And you didn't get him one?"
"He's stubborn."
"Call someone and have them meet us somewhere." I demanded
"How does he feel about this?"
"I don't care how he feels. Just do it."
I didn't leave any room for Giorgio to argue before I made my way back to my room. Giovanni was trying to get dressed, but his injury was impeding him. I went over and helped him and told him the plan.
"I don't need a doctor." he said adamantly
I remained silent because if I spoke, I would yell at him for being so foolish. I quickly changed in the bathroom and put on a pair of sneakers. Giorgio came to my open doorway, now wearing a shirt and shoes, and told me that someone would meet us about an hour from here.
"Let's go." I told Giovanni
"Can I at least see my mother before you rush me out of the house?"
I rolled my eyes and nodded. I followed behind Giovanni as we proceeded downstairs. Carla was cooking breakfast and nearly dropped the frying pan when she saw her sons. She came over and kissed them both and began speaking rapidly in Italian.
"I have to make more food." she said to herself
"We have to go." Giorgio said
"Again? Why?" she asked with disappointment
"Giovanni is hurt." Giorgio stated
"Where let me take a look?" she said quickly
She gripped Giovanni's injured arm unexpectedly and he let out a hiss.
"Mama." he scolded her
"Mi dispiace." she said (I'm sorry)
"He's shot." I threw in
