The Thief(Complete) (Sample)

XVI.

We went to the shake shack restaurant near the food court, to be honest. Giselle's really not much of an eater and neither was I, the only time that I really tried to stay healthy and eat was when I was pregnant with her. I grew into my body at a young age so I think that's where she's starting to get her growth spurt from and like John said, he's not exactly small either.

His other kids were smaller than Giselle but clearly they take after their mother. I wouldn't have a problem with Francesca if she didn't have a problem with Giselle. She can absolutely have a problem with me but when it comes to Giselle, momma bear comes out and clearly momma bear isn't a person that should be let loose.

Giselle enjoyed her time with him but now it was time to go home. He carried her things to Theo's truck, they both put her things inside then John gave him a head nod. Theo gave him one back in return, Giselle opens up her arms to John. She wanted a hug and he gave her a hug then she waved bye.

"Bye, thanks...dad.."

"You're welcome, bye sweetheart!"

The next big step for us was waiting to move into our place, the week went by quick. All of our things were being delivered today so we were excited as we waited at the house, we showed Paola around. I think she was in love with the backyard because she said that she has the perfect gift house gift for us.

"So, I got a bit of a taste in what you like so I'm gonna purchase your entire furniture for your patio!"

"Paola!"

"What?! Let me buy it, I promise that I won't go over..board.." she gives me a mischievous smile as we stand on the patio.

"You, Ben and your brother already have done a lot for us! You guys are helping us move in and set up everything!" I expressed and she shrugs.

"I know and you're so amazing and I kind of love that my brother and you are dating so regardless I get to see you more often still! My house is always open for you and Giselle!"

"Thank you and mine is too!"

I give her a hug then we head back inside, Theo and Ben we're putting together my bedroom furniture. They zoomed thru it as if they did this everyday while Paola and I went into the kitchen, she helped me unpack new dishes. Theo got me a lot of tableware, bakeware and cookware things.

"Pause!" Paola says as we get ready to open up the next box.

"What's wrong?" I asked and she points at the box.

"Theodore James Bellucci!" She calls out for Theo, I covered my mouth while trying not to laugh.

"WHAAAT?!" He yells from the other room.

"You buy her fine china but no cabinet?!"

"Right, smartass, it's actually about to be delivered courtesy of uncle Joey!" He says to her calmly as I shrug.

"Oh, nothing to say?!" He asks her and I burst into laughter as she mimicked him.

She puts the box to the side until the cabinet came, the cabinet was huge. It took 3 of them to carry it inside the house, two more of his uncles from last weekend that I had met at his moms house came to help too. It was beautiful, he expressed that he spoke with his uncle the night we had dinner at his mom's house and his uncle had the perfect gift for me. They had this gorgeous cabinet flown in from Italy personally for me.

I was speechless and so grateful for all of this but that wasn't it, his mom and his auntie Zola pulled into the driveway with something hanging off of her truck as she honked the horn. Giselle ran from the backyard to the front of the house as we all went outside.
