Can't Get Enough | Danny Amendola

Chapter 50

"This is so exciting!" Gisele said in a hushed tone. She was leaning over in her seat, looking at me with a big smile on her face. "I wish Pen could've gone with us though."

I let out a sigh and nodded. It didn't feel right leaving for the Superbowl without her. "Me, too. I know she really wanted to go, but if Jules is going to be so overbearing, I can't imagine what Amelia will be doing to keep her calm during the game." I chuckled. "And they will only be on the couch."

Gisele giggled, but nodded. "I know. Good thing Amelia will be there," she responded and leaned back into her seat. "Nick would never be able to keep her calm." She let out a small yawn and shook her head. "I'm with the kids. I think I'll be taking a nap."

I sucked in a breath and nodded. "I feel ya. I'm exhausted. I worked ahead so I don't have any homework until Tuesday," I mumbled. "Sleep well. If I'm awake when we're landing, I will let you know." I told her.

"Thanks, Jame. I appreciate it." Gisele responded before reclining her seat back and closing her eyes.

I shook my head and looked around the plane. This was my first time on a private jet, and I had to say it was quite incredible. It was of course a smaller jet, but there was still plenty of room. Before I knew it, I was beginning to drift off, but a small hand on my knee pulled me out of it.

I darted up and looked over to who had put their hand there-- Little Vivian. "Hey Vivi... Did you sleep well," I asked as I locked eyes with her.

Her eyes went wide as she crawled up into the seat next to me and nodded excitedly at me. "I'm excited to see Daddy," she replied. "I made him a bracelet yesterday. I think it will be good luck."

"Oh, it will be for sure," I replied. "But, I think you're more of a good luck charm than the bracelet will be." I smiled over at her, and her face lit up like a christmas tree. She was absolutely adorable.

"Are you excited to see Uncle Danny?" She asked, her eyes full of wonder.

"Very much so," I told her with a small nod. "I'm going to school and working now, so I don't get to see him as much."

She now looked up at me in confusion. "School and work!?" Her voice was soaking with shock. "How can you do both? What about when you and Uncle Danny get married!? Won't you have time for him then? I'm at school all day and I don't like it. I wouldn't wanna work AND go to school. I'd never see my daddy or mommy!"

I chuckled and shook my head. "I'm not in school like you are. I can do it on the internet," I responded. "And I only have two more years. I will be seeing Uncle Danny plenty when the season is over, too."

"Oh," she replied, letting it out slowly. "Then are you and Uncle Danny gonna wait two whole years to get married? Uncle Jules and Aunt Pen didn't wait that long."

I let out a small giggle, but before I could reply, Gisele was speaking up. "Vivi, let Jame relax," she said. She opened her arms and motioned for Vivian to sit on her lap. "Come here, hun. Lets snuggle before he land."

Danny 15:04

Are you settled in yet? Can I come over? I miss you.

I rolled my eyes as I sat down on the bed and dropped my backpack to the floor. I'd been in the hotel for a whole five minutes, and Danny was just begging to come over. With a smile on my face I responded with my room number and let my eyes fall shut.

When I opened them again, it was to a frantic knocking on the door. I darted up and hopped onto my feet running to the door-- Danny!

I was quick to undo the lock and pull it open. When I did, I was engulfed in warm arms and the scent of Danny's cologne. "Babe!" His voice whispered as he swept me off my feet and held me closer. I wrapped my arms around him and held him tighter.

"Oh its so good to see you!" I mumbled into his shoulder. He pushed us further into the room and as the door slammed shut, my back hit the mattress.

I let out a squeal and finally opened my eyes to see my favorite pair of brown eyes looking back down at me. "Hi," he whispered as a smirk made its way onto his face. "God, I've missed your beautiful face." He dipped down, pressing his soft lips to mine.

I brought a hand up and laced it through the hair at the nape of his neck. "I've missed you," I whispered once we parted. "It's been weird without you around."

"I've been dealing with Julian for like four days straight," he replied. "He's been driving me nuts with worrying about Penny. I've just been worried about you and you overworking yourself."

I scoffed as I brought my other arm around and wrapped it around his back. "Like you should be one to be complaining about worrying about Penny," I told him.

A small pout made its way to his face. "I only want what's best for my godson. And his development went to plan because I was there to help! He's gonna be perfect!"

I rolled my eyes and brought my one hand around so it was cupping his cheek. "Babe. He was gonna be perfect no matter what," I pointed out. "And you know that."

He let out a small sigh and rolled off of me. His arm wrapped around my shoulder and pulled me into him. I rested my head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat. "You're right," he whispered. "Just like our kids will be. But then again, that will be because they're cooking in your oven."

I sucked in a sharp breath and clutched at his hoodie. Why'd he have to bring up kids? Why? I'd finally gotten it out of my mind. "Danny," I said quietly.

"I know," he whispered, sounding a little disappointed. "Not until the time is right. I understand, but I can't wait for the day a little you is running around."

I let out a small sigh, one of relief-- This isn't the time to talk about it... Not two days before the Superbowl.
