Episode 4

"You sure, you can handle him?" Kaylee asked with hope swimming in her eyes.

I looked back at the kid who was trying to pull off the sofa covers with all his might but to no avail and in the end, he sat on it with a huff.

Luciano looked at me almost pleadingly and as much as I wanted to succumb to his pleas I couldn't defy Ma's wishes.

"Of course he is such a sweetheart, I'm sure Luciano and I can handle him, right?" I smiled, praying to whoever was out there in the sky would listen to it and made this day possible.

Luciano smiled one of the fakest smiles I had ever seen but he still made it nice and proper. "Yes."

"Oh, you don't know how much of help both of you ate. Thank you so much," She sighed in relief.

I smiled politely. "Don't thank us, it's a pleasure."

"Nana!" Zito suddenly screamed making me flinch in surprise.

"Yes, Zito?" Kaylee got down on one knee, of course with much difficulty.

"Will you being choco for me?" He asked innocently.

I frowned. But Kaylee just smiled sweetly at her grandson. "I will bring lots of chocolates for you if you behave well with Uncle Luciano and Auntie Alice."

Zito nodded at his grandma before hugging her with his little arms.

"Why do you think he is crying this time?" I asked tiredly as I watched Zito crying his lungs out in the middle of the living room.

Luciano shook his head beside me. "I don't fucking know."

"Stop cussing in front of him." I hissed.

"He can't hear us over all the crying he is doing." He pointed out.

"So stop his crying. He is crying for thirty minutes now, " I huffed.

"I did the last time. Now you do."

"I played with him, you are the one busy with your stupid phone."

"It's not stupid if it earns the food that you are eating."

"I don't freaking need your money, I have a Cafe which earns more than I can spend and that's enough."

"Well, why aren't you going -"

"Will you two just shut up?" Zitto said like he wasn't crying a few minutes ago. He crossed his arms over his chest. "You two are acting like a child honestly."

I looked at Luciano as he looked at me. "He was calling you a child."

"Nope, he was calling you a child." I retorted.

"You are the childish one between us."

"How am I the childish one?"

"You--"

But before he could finish Zitto started crying again.

-

"Why don't my Mama loves me?" Zitto asked suddenly as we were playing again with the cars that he brought over.

I was stunned for a moment and so was Luciano. We were sitting in the living room with Zitto after we finished dinner, waiting for Kaylee.

"I am sure she loves you," I assured him even though I didn't know his Mama.

"No, she doesn't. She do not live with me or Papa."

"It's supposed to be 'does' instead of 'do', " Luciano interrupted but shut up quickly as I glared at his direction.
