i woke up to crying, i sighed and tried sitting up but couldn't
i looked and joeys arm was wrapped tightly around my waist
"joey" i whispered shaking him, "che cosa" he mumbled
bailey's crying started getting louder, he let go and i got up walking to her crib
i picked her up, "shh shh"
she laid her head on my chest and slowly started closing her eyes as i slowly rocked her
i sighed, what is with her waking up so early in the morning
after what felt like 20 minutes she finally fell asleep, i laid her back down in her crib
i went downstairs and opened the fridge grabbing a water bottle
i had a horrible headache and with everything that happened, it all has me overthinking
what if i get kidnapped again?
what if matteo isn't dead?
why would manu be at that house?
what if someone breaks in again?
i opened the cabinets searching for pills to try and relief my headache a bit
i found a small bottle of advil and took 2 as instructed, my neck started to hurt
i started rubbing it and i heard footsteps making my eyes widen
i grabbed a knife and saw someone coming in through the hallway
joey walked in rubbing his eye, "mi amore?" he asked
i sighed and put the knife down, "what are you doing?" he asked walking towards me
i put the knife back and sighed, "nothing i was just paranoid from yesterday"
i looked down and he stood in front of me, he lifted my chin up with his index finger making me look into his eyes
his eyes were softer and sweeter
they weren't their usual rough and hard stare
he started leaning in and i hesitated, his lips were close to touching mine
i back away, "we can't" i whispered and he looked confused "why not?"
"bc after everything that just happened this is what we're doing? you were shot joey, and i was kidnapped" i said
he shook his head, "that doesn't matter anymore"
"how does it not matter? what if-" he cut me off by smashing his lips on mine
i wanted to pull away but instead i pulled him closer
his hands wrapped around my waist, giving my hip small squeezes
he slowly picked me up and placed me on the island, he started to kiss down towards my neck making me moan
"be quiet" he whispered in my ear before giving it a soft bite
i bit my lip as his lips continued down my neck, he kissed back up and caught my lips in his again
i slowly pulled away and looked at him, catching our breaths
"i missed the way your lips felt" he smirked
i looked down, "me too" i mumbled
"how's your back and leg feeling?" i asked as my eyes landed on his leg
he shrugged "there fine, i don't feel anything"
my brows furrowed, "you don't feel anything? you were shot how do you not feel that"
"i've been shot many times before, and i'm always given a shot to numb it so i don't feel it while it heals" he said and i nodded
his hand caressed my cheek as he kept a soft stare at me
"why are you being like this?" i asked and he chuckled "like what?"
"nice and cute and soft" i paused, "your never like this" i said
"why can't i just be good to you?" he licked his lips
"bc your not good" i whispered and his face dropped
"doesn't mean i can't try to be good" he took his hand off
"why would you wanna try to be good? mafiosos don't have hearts, you kill people" i scoffed
his jaw clenched, "you think i wanted all of this? to be apart of some mafia and kill people?"
i stayed quiet looking down, "i'm sorry about valeria and bella" i said as i fiddled with my fingers
i noticed him stiffen up at the subject making me look up
"don't you ever mention them again" his teeth gritted and he started to walk to his office
"once your father pays me back that money your leaving with him" he said
i felt my face drop as he slammed the door
