CHANELLE'S POV.
It's been a month since the twins were born. And let me tell you, it is a 24/7 job. Don't get me wrong, I love them to death and I love taking care of them and I have plenty of help but it just gets stressful. I feel like, weird.
My mom and Stella said it's probably postpartum depression and maybe they're right but I don't think that's what it is.
Drama queen Cecilia wakes up more than Lucca does in the middle of the night. But Lucca poops more than she does. I haven't gotten much sleep but it's okay. I'll do anything for them and I'll stay up with them all night.
Savino called me last night and said he's finally back from taking care of business and wants to take me out to dinner tonight. I'm nervous and excited.
Nervous, because I haven't left the twins side for a whole month. Me and them have been stuck together it's crazy. Even if it's just dinner and only for a little bit I don't want them to leave my side. It's a fancy and high class restaurant so I can't take them with me.
Excited, because I can spend some time with Savino. If he's gonna be my husband in the future and the twins father figure then I obviously need to know him more.
Stella is keeping an eye on the twins while I get ready. I do my makeup and use dark eye shadow with my cat eye eyeliner. I curl my hair into thick, full waves.
I put on a dress that exposes my shoulders and chest but has black lace sleeves along with the rest of the dress being all black lace. It goes above my knees about mid thigh. I put on tall, red heels and then Stella calls me from downstairs.
Oh my god! he must be here. I take a deep breath, grab my clutch and go downstairs. When I get to the bottom of the stairs I see Savino sitting on the couch waiting for me with the babies in their bouncers right in front of him.
He looks at me and just smiles and looks me up and down. I bite my lip in nerves. I'm not insecure about my body or anything. My stomach is already completely flat again and I have no stretch marks or anything. I look just like I did before I was pregnant.
He stands up and I go up to him. "you look amazing" he says as he kisses my cheek. There's something about his deep voice and his touch that sends chills throughout my body.
"thank you" I tell him sweetly. "I see you've met the twins" I say as I look down at the babies and so does he. "yup, they are beautiful babies Chanelle, they look so much like you" he tells me as he just stares at them in awe.
I don't know if he actually means that they really do look like me or he thinks they look like Jovanny and doesn't wanna accept that.
"thank you, do you, want to hold them?" I ask him awkwardly. He looks at me and nods with a sweet smile. We both sit on the couch and I lean down to lift up Lucca first.
He asks me question about the labor and the twins as he transitions from holding Lucca and Cecilia. Then it's time to go.
"Stella!" I call as we stand up. "we're going to leave now" I tell her as we walk to the front door. "okay have fun" she says sincerely. "thanks I will" I say and me and Savino walk out.
We go inside the limo he came in and drive to our destination. He said we're going to have dinner on his Yacht he has at this huge lake. Apparently only and all the highest of high class people go there and have a yacht there.
When we get there it is dark and only lit by twinkling lights and candles. It's so gorgeous. We are escorted onto his boat and are seated at a well set up, white clothed table. It looks like something you see in a magazine or a movie or something.
We sit and wait for our food to be brought while we drink champagne and water.
"thank you for bringing me out tonight" I tell him generously. "thank you for coming, like I said I apologize for not being there for you, but now that I am here, I want to start our lives together" he tells me.
I nod. "how would you feel about moving in with me? there is plenty of room, the twins rooms would be just down the hall from ours, it's everything you and the twins will need" he tells me.
"I'd love to move in with you Savino, but, not yet, it's not that I don't want to I just think Lucca and Cecilia are too little for me to do everything by myself" I tell him. "I can get a maid and anything you'll need help-wise, but if you still don't want to yet I understand" he says.
"I know you'll do that for me but just maybe 4 more months or something" I tell him. He smiles with a small laugh. "okay, but until then, we should also, spend more time together, talk about the wedding" he says. "yeah definitely" I reply.
"how does a trip to Italy sound? just me and you?" he says sweetly. "oh um, I don't know I mean Lucca and Cecy are still so small I can't leave them for that long yet I- I-" I mumble on.
"I know it's hard for you to leave them right now, they are only a month old, but if we're gonna be together, and create a family, you have to take a risk, it will only be for 2 or 3 days, if anything we can always fly back as soon as you'd like" he tells me.
I smile. He's right. Even though the twins are my world right now and I don't wanna leave them I can't just forget about Savino. He's my future husband and he needs my attention just as much.
"okay" I say with a soft smile. "really? you'll go?" he says in a complete happy and excited way. "yes, I'll go, when do we leave?" I ask him. "well I was thinking in about 2 days, long enough for you to pack and spend time with Lucca and Cecilia" he says. "okay great" I reply.
Our dinner is served and we eat and talk more and more. He really is a great guy. He's funny, sweet, smart, anything a girl could want.
Everytime we look at each other it's like, love. I get so lost in his eyes. And all he can do is stare at me. Stare at me in a way every girl wants a man to stare at her.
Once we have finished eating we walk along a cement path that goes all the way around the lake holding hands. This goes on for about 15 minutes until we decide to stop and just look out at the lake glistened by the moonlight and the candle light of other yachts.
"did you have fun tonight?" he asks me as we walk. "yes I did thank you so much, I really needed it and wanted it" I tell him. "so did I" he says.
He stares at me and I stare back. He puts his hands on my waist and pulls me closer to him. He leans down and crashes his lips to mine. My heart is fiercely pounding and my stomach is in a knot.
I put my hands on his chest as our lips move in sync. It's so sweet and passionate. The way his tongue moves around mine making it dirty and sexy yet romantic and sweet.
We kiss for about 10 minutes before finally separating.
"I love you Chanelle" he tells me. I smile. "I love you too" I tell him as I peck his lips.
We walk back down the path and to the limo so I can go home.
We get to the front of my house and I can't wait to see and hold my babies and go to sleep with them by my side.
"I'll call you about the details for the trip" Savino tells me. I nod. He leans in and softly grabs my jaw and kisses me. "goodnight" he says. "goodnight" I say back as I get out of the car. I slowly walk up the steps suddenly being drowned by my own thoughts.
I feel my eyes water and I get a lump in my throat. WHY am I crying right now. I should be happy? I AM happy. Really happy actually. Everything seems to be falling in place. But, what is still wrong?
