Imagines

Mattyra - English

''Francesco come here darling!'' you yelled as the little boy ran through the room, his arms spread beside his body pretending to be an airplane. ''Yes mommy'' he said and ran straight to the two of you. ''swoosh swoosh shwwhhhw'' were the sounds that came from his mouth. He jumped in Matteo's arms and Matteo lifted him into the air holding him above his head. ''I can flyyy'' Francesco said happily. Matteo hugged him and chuckled, ''come on little airplane, time to go home''.

''Can i say goodbye to Milo?'' Francesco looks at you with pleading eyes. ''Hurry'' you say with a nod and Matteo puts him down. Francesco runs down to the black dog laying on the carpet and also jumps on him. ''Bye Milooo'' Francesco says as he pets the dog maybe a little bit too enthusiastic. ''Bye mom'' Matteo says as he kisses her cheek. His mother chuckles and says goodbye to the two of you.

''Francesco, come, you said goodbye enough now'' you say with a light chuckle as you reach out your hand for him to take. He gets up, walks to you and holds your hand tight. Matteo ruffles his blonde hair and smiles, holding your other hand. With your right hand holding Francesco's small hand, and your left holding Matteo's larger hand, you walk outside towards the silver car.

You got Francesco into the back seat and Matteo got behind the wheel. As you get in the car, Francesco is already frantically waving at his grandma. You wave too, with a smile, it's always fun to visit Matteo's mother. It makes all three of you happy.

You throw a look at the car clock and see that it is 9pm. You look at Francesco through the mirror and smile when you see he has his head tilted to look outside to see the stars. You look to your left and smile when you see the love of your life concentrated on the road, The corner of his mouth curls up in a smile when you stare at him for a while and this makes you chuckle. ''Sorry about that'' you say and look in front of you again. ''I never mind'' he answers and smiles when he focusses back on the road.

The ride is only about 20 minutes to your home, but when you finally arrive there little Francesco has already fallen asleep. You lift him out of his seat and bring him inside. You walk upstairs directly and carefully wake him up to put on his pyjamas. He rubs his eyes confused, but lets you put on his pyjamas with ease. You lay him in his car-formed bed and kiss him on his forehead softly. His eyes fall closed immediately and he is sleeping sweetly again.

You walk downstairs and see that Matteo has already seated on the couch and taken some wine. You take off your shoes and seat beside him in his arms. You take the second glass that is already filled and watch the program he put on. You don't even have to say anything, to communicate that it was a good, but also quite tiring day.

After a while of watching tv and laying in his arms you mention that you are tired and get up to brush your teeth. Matteo agrees to the fact that getting in bed is a good idea and gets up with you. After the standard ritual of brushing teeth and changing clothes you both get into the kingsize bed. You lay on your side, the right side and he lays behind you, his arms wrapped around your waist.

You talk softly, not wanting to wake Francesco up. ''Hey Kyra'' Matteo says, ''yeah?'' you answer. ''I've been thinking eh'' he starts his story. ''Never a good thing'' you say with a chuckle. He chuckles and then hugs you a little bit tighter. ''No seriously, do you want a second one?'' he asks directly. You are silent for a bit and then a small smile appears on your face. ''I've Always wanted to have a daughter..'' you answer the question. ''So, that's a yes?'' he asks, you don't even have to look at him for knowing that a smile just appeared on his face. ''I mean, yeah why not and Francesco would like to have a little brother or sister'' you say and you feel him nodding to that.

''Seems like a good idea'' he says content. ''Yeah, but not for now'' you say and turn around in his arms. Even though the two of you have been together for over 6 years, laying his arms still is one of your favourite things to do. ''I know, I know'' he chuckles softly and hugs you tight. You bury your face in his chest and mumble an 'I love you' and fall asleep relatively fast.

The next morning you wake by Francesco jumping on your bed. ''It snowed! It snowed! It snowed!'' he is yelling happily. You turn to look at Matteo and he too is laughing. ''Well, then we should go make a snowman today, shouldn't we?'' he asks Francesco and he is way too happy with this. The two of you get out of bed and go down with hyper Francesco to have some nice Christmas holiday breakfast.
