Texting With The Don

Uncomfortable Introductions

Once back at the cottage I felt a bit more at ease. Taking my dress off, I tossed it onto the setee at the end of my bed and slid in to my pajamas. My next step was to remove my makeup and brush my teeth. All the whole the event's of the night kept bouncing around in my head. The nerve of him to single me out and wait to strike, catching me at a vulnerable time. To think I'd just fall victim to his little game's and forgive him so easily. But there was one thing he said that burned forefront in my mind. Before he stormed off he said that he'd be seeing me. That left me wondering exactly what he meant by that. Did he mean that he'd pop up anytime? Could he possibly be thinking of kidnapping me? Ugh... damn him and his little mind game's.

Just to ease my insecurities and feel better, I double checked all the locks and windows in the cottage. As I tried to fall asleep I thought maybe it would be best if I cut my trip short and caught the first flight home tomorrow.  I would sleep on in and see if my mind was clearer before I made any hasty decisions.

The next morning I was woke by a ticklish touch against my cheek. Immediately my mind kicked into high gear and I slung my fist out connecting with a hard jawline followed by a howl of pain. Opening my eye's I saw Ace hunched over cupping a now bloody nose. I sprung up onto my knees and placed my hand on his shoulder. "Oh my God Ace, I'm sorry. You startled me". I said rushing to grab a towel and some ice.

After getting his nose under control I said. "I'm very sorry. I-I, you scared me".

Ace grinned. "Guess I'll no better next time".

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Geez, don't sound so happy JJ. I missed you so I decided to surprise you and fly out to spend the remainder of your vacation with you". He said.

Covering up my worry I replied. "Oh no Ace. I'm very surprised that's all. I'm glad you came".

What else could I say, that you need to zoom back home because my crazy ex is stalking me and is capable of killing us. Yea I could say, oh by the way on my last trip here I fell in love with an Italian mobster who I never told you about and he wants me back and will slaughter us. What was already a bad situation just turned into a avalanche.  Could I convince Ace that I was actually planning on returning today myself? But that wouldn't work. What was I to do. Maybe I could wait a day or two and fake a work emergency and say I was needed back immediately. Sounds legit right? I noticed Ace was watching me intently as I chewed my bottom lip pondering what to do. Placing a bright smile on my face to mask my innner turmoil I said. "Sorry, a bit of a hangover this morning. The girl's and I drank some last night".

Ace smiled and chirped. "Hey, your in Italy. Your suppose to have fun".

We ate a lite breakfast and Ace was eager to see the ocean. Relunticaly I slid my suit on and followed him out as Tory scowled behind his back. Naturally she thought Ace was intruding on our girl time and yea, I guess he was.

Once on the Sandy shore I proceeded to remove my top out of habit and Ace shrieked as he forced a towel over me. "Whatever are you doing JJ? If I ever run for office and this was to get out it could destroy me. Please put your top back on and act respectable".

My cheeks flared with embarrassment. "Right, sorry". I mumbled as I placed my top on.

As we relaxed or at least I tried to relax I kept eyeing the area for any signs of Staveno. Naturally later that evening Ace wanted to hit the town. I tried to avoid any place that Staveno might own but it was nearly impossible to pick and choose which one he may own. Besides there was a huge possibility he was watching anyways. By eleven Ace was finally ready to head home and luckily there had been no incidents. Well until we got ready to leave.

As we was making our way to the door Staveno jumped into our path smiling like the cat who ate the canary. I felt as if I had died right there on the spot. Every fiber in my body and mind froze. I couldn't speak, move, fuck what was my name again? Then Steveno spoke with amusement in his voice. "Love aren't you going to introduce me?"

Fuck, right now would be a great time for aliens to exist and suck me up in their light beam. I wouldn't even fight it, I'd go willingly. I wouldn't be half as scared of them as I am at this very moment. Ace turned to look at me with many questions. I knew I had to say something. "Um, ah, um, um, Ace this is Staveno, an old acquaintance. Staveno, my boyfriend Ace."

"Ah, acquaintance is it now love?" Staveno chrotled clearly enjoying himself and my discomfort.

Leaving me be he turned to Ace and extended his hand. "Pleasure to meet you Ace. Now I'm not sure acquaintance is the right word here. I prefer to call myself the man that showed love what it was like to have her pretty little pink pussy ate like none other can do. She begs so well and that little dimple on her left ass cheek, man I can't count the time's I sucked that spot".

Tears sprung to my eye's at the way he just disrespected me, humiliated me and before I knew it I struck out at him and smacked his cheek firmly. Staveno only grinned as a reaction as Ace looked at me. "What's he saying Jacy? What's going on here?"

I just shook my head in disbelief not knowing what to say or do. The Ace's temper kicked in and he stood up to Staveno. "You have no right to speak of her in such a way".

I saw Staveno's men step from the shadows and I pulled on Ace's sleeve. "Please Ace, it's not worth it. Let's go".

Ace looked at me with fire in his eye's and gripped me by the arm dragging me out. Once home he lit into me as I expected he would. Still I couldn't tell him the truth. I told him that Staveno was just a guy I met duiring my first trip and we had a summer fling, nothing more. "We are on the first plane out of here JJ. How could you embarrass me so?"

"I'm sorry". I sobbed and began packing.

"You should be". He growled and grabbed his pillow to sleep on the couch.

Bright an early the next morning we was at the airport waiting on our flight home. As I got ready to board the plane my phone buzzed.

"Do not get on that plane love. We've unfinished business. Let him go now. Don't underestimate me love. I'd hate to be ugly".

I shut my phone off and ran onto the plane. I didn't breath until my feet touched American soil. Safe.
