That One Night

- ⅩⅩⅩⅤ -

"Mommy?Mommy?Mommy,I'm awake."I rubbed my eyes."Good morning baby.Hug mommy first.""Ok."I hugged him tight and then got up with him in my arms.

"It's nine baby.You have perfect timing today.Let's go eat.""Remember the game we had,mommy?"I stopped."Which one?"

"Dressing up fancy and making breakfast like that?Can I wear my shades?I look so cool with them!"I giggled."If you want,baby.Why not?!"

I put his 'too cool for school' shirt on and helped him wear his denim jeans.He put on his black sneakers himself and then I changed.

I wore a matching set with a leather that is made out of fake snake skin.I wore black heels with ankle and toe straps.

We moved to the bathroom."Should I curl my hairs or straighten them?""Curl!I like them when they're curly!"I kissed him."Then we are curling for my little prince!"

I put on gold hoops as earrings and my 'armani' necklace for my son's first name.Along with a 'roman' necklace."Isn't that my daddy's name?"

"And I still love your daddy so much!"I made his hair."That's my handsome boy."I put on mascara and dark red matte lipstick."How does mommy look?"

"She looks gorgeous."He kissed my cheek and I blushed."Shall we have breakfast now,my prince?"He nodded."Let's go."

We walked into the kitchen,hand in hand."Whoa!You two look straight out of a fashion show!"I smiled at Ruby."You see,we had this game and we thought we'd go on with the triditions."

The doorbell rang and Ruby left to answer it while Luca and I made breakfast togather."Let's open some music,mommy!"I smiled."Of course,baby!"

I took out my phone and we started listening 24K Magic by Bruno Mars.Luca started dancing and singing along.

I started singing along too as we made breakfast."That's my mommy's boy!You are killing it,baby!"

"Who are you?""I am here to see Damien.I heard Basilio talk to him about something related with the payment.I'm Lorenzo,Roman's youngest brother."

Then I heard music coming from the kitchen."Mr.Moretti,I know nothing about a payment related phone call.I can talk to Mr.Remington and let him know."

"I was hoping to talk to him in person.For another reason."I sighed."Another reason?""He's here early for the annual ball.I want to make sure we have no problems."

"You have no problems.He's here for vacation reasons.Just like me and my friend Zane."Then Cordelia started singing."I was thinking that Zane was a guy."

"He is that-that's...That's uhm...Zane's sister!"He nodded."Oh...Well,give my bests to Mr.Remington."I nodded."I sure will."After closing the door,I ran inside.

"You are unbelievable!I had to lie to Lorenzo Moretti and tell him that you were Zane's sister!""Mommy,lying is bad."She sighed."Baby,this time,lying was the best option."

Lorenzo...I missed Lorenzo!"Mommy?"I turned back to Luca."Yes,big guy?""Who's Lorenzo Moretti?"I smiled."You can call him uncle Enzo.He is your daddy's little brother."

"Mommy?""Yes?"He sighed."How many uncles do I have?""You have my brother,uncle Damien.You have your daddy's brothers,uncle Enzo and Gio."

"So I have three uncles?"I nodded."You do."I turned back to Ruby."But seriously,Ruby,Zane's sister?!"She whined."I know!"I sighed."I need to talk to Basilio."

I got her phona and called him."It's me.""He's not here."I sighed in relief."What the hell was Enzo doing coming to Damien's place?!How slick can you not be?!"

"Did he see you or anything?"I shook my head."He thinks I am Zane's,Damien's right hand's,sister!"He started laughing."Yeah,you are screwed!"

"Gee,thanks,Lio!"I hung up on him."I am going to kill him!I swear,he is driving me crazy!""Mommy?"I sighed."I'm sorry,baby.I am so sorry."

I hugged him and sat down with him on my lap."I'm sorry,Armani,I am.I really am."He sighed."It's ok mommy.I forgive you."I kissed his forehead."Thank you,my sweet boy."

With a peaceful silence,we ate our breakfast.Basilio called Ruby.I took it and answered."Lio?""I created a fake profile for you so,your ass is covered."I smiled."Thanks a lot."

"Anything else?""Nora.I want to talk to Nora.Today,somewhere Roman won't find us."He sighed."I guess I can do that.Can she know that it's you?"

"Just bring her to a café and I'll show up there."He sighed."I can do that."

He sent me a location about an hour later.Telling me that Nora will be there in two hours.I turned to Luca as he was playing with Ruby."Armani?""Yes,mommy?"

"Mommy is going to meet up with nonna Nora.""Nonna Nora?!Can I meet her too?!"I smiled."I want you to meet her.Just not today.I need to win her over first."

"Oh...Ok,mommy."I leaned down."Baby...Don't do that.I love you and I don't like it when you sound that sad.How am I going to leave now?"

"I'm not sad mommy.What was the thing?Uhm...I'm just uh...Disappointed!Huh!I found it."I smiled."Baby,she doesn't know about you either.No one does.So,I need to ease her into it."

"I understand mommy.I love you too."He kissed my cheek and then I left.I came to the café and saw Nora sitting there.I settled in front of her."Hey,mom."

She saw my forearm."Bambina?!"I nodded."Could you forgive me?"She moved to the seat next to me and tucked my hair behind my ear.

"Oh,my sweet girl.I knew you'd come back.I knew you loved him too much to not forgive him.""I want him back.Do you think I have a chance?Because I miss him and I wanted come back earlier."

"Why didn't you,bambina?"I showed her my other forearm with Armani's name written."I have a son.Roman's son,mom.Your grandson."I sniffed and wiped my face.

"I-I-I-I have a grandson?"I nodded."Armani Luca Moretti.He is just the sweetest boy.He wants to meet you too.I said tomorrow,is that ok with you,mom?"

"Ok with me?!Please bring him with you!"I nodded."I will.He will love you!"We hugged and cried."I missed you so much,mom!"

We stood up and she made me turn around."You got thinner!Do you don't eat?!What happened to my bambina?!Let's feed you.Let's have lunch!"

I checked the time."Remember the time we cooked togather a week before the ball?We can go to where I live for now and cook there.You can meet Armani.Or Luca if you will."

"Armani sounds good.Let's go meet my grandson!"
