We agreed on going walking around downtown. The driver whose name I had learned was Gabriele dropped us off and we began to walk around. We popped in and out of shops just looking around for a while. We ended up trying coffee from a new cafe and a cart that had waffles with sweet toppings or as small sandwiches.
Once we were stuffed we went to the side with more retail and they ended up buying new watches. When it started getting dark we decided to walk along the steel bridge just watching the city go by. The sun set was stunning and the city lights after the sun was gone made everything about that night feel magical.
Everything about them was perfect. Being with both of them was the best decision I had ever made. All the jokes we made and all the laughter we shared brought us closer together and solidified our bond. The more I thought about it, the more I was sure that we would work out despite all the issues we would come across, even my family. Speaking of my next family brunch was coming up next week and i didn't know if I should invite them. I knew my father would have a fit that i was with two men but i couldn't really care less. What mattered was that I was happy and living my best life. If my father did not support me then I would officially cut him out of my life. On the other side i'd didn't know if Gio, Matteo, and I were official. We still hadn't talked about it and i didn't want them to feel like I was moving too fast.
"What's got you thinking so hard? You're going to give yourself wrinkles" Gio asked, rubbing his thumb on top of the skin I had scrunched up in between my eyebrows.
"My family had brunch every so often and I wanted to bring you two but i didn't know whether we were official or not." I said moving his hand from my face and facing both of them.
"We were actually waiting for you to tell us whether you were ready for us to be together. If you are ready then we would be more than happy to come with you and meet your family." Matteo said reassuring me
"Okay then it's settled, Wednesday we will go to brunch with my family." I said smiling at both of them. They pulled me in for a hug and we stood there just embracing each other for a while. By now it was 9pm and I was starting to get hungry again since we ate at the waffle place around 4. Suddenly out of nowhere my stomach growled.
"Well i think it's about time we get you some food." Matteo said as they both chuckled. They both stepped away and my body instantly longed for their warmth against me. They both grabbed my hands and we took a 20 minute walk to a restaurant that was on the rooftop of a building. We sat along the edge that looked over the water.
"Hello, I'm Daniel and i will be your server tonight. Tonight we have a discount on everything on the blue pages of the menu and your first bottle of champagne is on the house." The waiter said placing menus down on the table as well as 3 glasses and a bottle of pink champagne.
'' Would you guys like to have anything else to start out with? Perhaps an appetizer." Daniel added, clearly flirting with Matteo. He must have thought I was with Gio and Matteo was the third wheel because i was sitting on one side of the booth with Gio and matteo was across from us. Gio made eye contact and we tried our best to stop ourselves from laughing at Matteo's obvious discomfort. Gio helped him out by clearing his throat and telling Daniel that we needed time to look over the menu.
When he finally walked away Gio and I bursted out laughing at Matteo who sat across from us looking more stressed than he did before a really important meeting at work. Soon we ordered and ate our food. Once we finished we went to the outdoor bar section of the restaurant and talked.
