A familiar buzzing had me stirring in my sleep. I slowly opened my eyes to find my phone on the table next to me. I didn't remember bringing it into my room, so I assumed Giovanni did so for me. Speaking of which, I looked over and the bed was empty, but I could smell coffee from my kitchen, signaling that he was still here. I lazily grabbed the vibrating device and read Gabi's name on the caller id.
"Hello." I answered groggily
"You're still sleeping?"
"I had a late night last night." I mumbled
"What did you do?"
"Your brother." I grumbled
"In any other situation, I would have thrown up in my mouth. But in this case, I have to squeal," she let out a pierced scream, "so you and Giovanni?"
"Yea, we talked."
"And you're together...again?" she asked hopeful
"You could say that. We're working things out."
"By working things out, you mean having sex. How long before you guys made up?"
"We barely made it to the car. Which was my fault."
"Wait, so you met him for drinks?"
"No, my brother set me up and Giovanni showed."
"I have to meet your brother. Is he single?"
"Yes, but not for you."
"Oh, is he gay?" she asked deflated
"No, he isn't gay. As far as I know. It just would be really weird if you two got together. This will not be an Amanté-Taylor empire."
"I think it will add some excitement to our lives. We could even double date."
"No. Absolutely not."
"I guess I'll just meet him at the wedding."
"What wedding?"
"You and my brother's wedding, obviously."
I rolled my eyes, even though she couldn't see me. Giovanni and I hadn't been back together for a full twenty-four hours before she kick started our wedding again.
"Is there a reason you called me?" I asked annoyed
"Other to bother you? Yes, actually."
"What?"
"Angelo's father called me."
"What?" my eyes instantly popped open
"Yes and guess what he said?"
"What?"
"That he wanted to talk."
"Did he say about what?"
"No."
"Be careful, he might not want to discuss Angelo."
"Then what else would we talk about?"
"Getting into your panties, of course."
"That's not happening."
"That's what I said about your brother."
"You're disgusting."
"Thank you." I smiled
"See this is why I need to date your brother, so I can disturb you with sexual information that you shouldn't know about."
"Anyway, what are you going to do about your baby daddy?"
"Don't call him that."
"That's what he is."
