Mio Amore Rosso

Dark secrets / Is this wrong?

His heart was beating just as fast as mine and it was exhilarating. Just being held in his arms was the best thing about this trip. Well, besides my relationship with Tim growing into something more normal. Antonio was amazing.

I was in love.

When he let go of my lip, I licked it, smiling up at him with half lidded eyes. He moved a hand up and thumbed over my lip, frowning slightly as he eyed it. "Oh no."

I frowned too, grabbing his wrist concerned. "What?" My eyes went wide, wondering if I had done something wrong.

He chuckled a little and moved to kiss my hand before gently removing it from his arm. "I may have bruised your lip a little." I gasped and gently felt my lip, wincing slightly at how tender it was.

I should have been upset, at least a little, but I just smiled, feeling my cheeks heat up.

Antonio looked at me oddly and brushed my hair back. "Dami?" I just chuckled, leaning in to kiss him again. "It's okay. Makes me feel like I'm really yours."

Antonio smiled widely, placing his hands on my hips before glancing at the clock on the nightstand.

"Oh, Piccolo guaio, I need to go." He moved me off of him and kissed my forehead before standing up.

"Wait! Where are you going?" I moved up onto my knees, grabbing at his arm. I even gave him a little pout.

God what is he doing to me?

He smiled and cupped my cheeks, kissing me softly for a moment before pulling away. "I have to go do some reports for Jason and make sure his meetings are scheduled for the next couple weeks. You should really try to rest okay. Maybe tonight you and I can do something."

I smiled happily, nodding excitedly. "Yeah. That sounds great. I guess I should call my mom and fill her in on everything. Even though I feel like I should tell Tim first about us...I also feel like if I don't tell her first, she'll be really offended." I made a face then chuckled.

Antonio nodded and chuckled too. "From what you've told me, she sounds like a great women, Dami. I can't wait to meet her. And don't worry, we're gonna tell Tim...and Jason, together." He grimaced a little at mentioning Jason's name and I frowned.

"Toni, why are you so worried about telling Jason? We aren't doing anything wrong. Are we?" Antonio sighed and his shoulders slumped forward.

He sat back down and grabbed my hands. "No. Damian, we aren't. I'm sorry I'm so nervous. Jason and I...it's complicated I guess."

"Complicated? I thought you were like brothers." I raised an eyebrow, intertwining our fingers. Antonio sighed, looking down for a moment. "We are, but...I'm sorry Dami I've gotta go okay. Can we-can we talk later?"

He stood up again, gently grabbing my chin with his thumb and finger. "Yeah of course." He smiled, leaning down to kiss me one more time, sucking my lip in between his teeth again and pulling at it just enough to make me moan out.

When he pulled away, my lip popped out, feeling abused and swollen. It was fantastic. Kissing him has easily become one of my favorite passtimes. It left me light headed and flushed.

As I thumbed at my lip, I sat on the bed just thinking. My mind wondered about what was wrong. I was worried it was something serious, but I knew I wouldn't get any answers out of him right now.

Antonio and I had something amazing and if Jason wasn't okay with that...well he'd just have to deal with it. He found love in an unlikely way, why couldn't it be the same for me and Antonio?

I'd fought just as hard as Tim for a love like this. I wasn't about to let him slip through my fingers.

I loved him.

My eyes widened as my breath hitched.

Oh god, I love him.

A smile stretched across my face and I let out a short laugh, bringing my hand up over my mouth in excitement.

I loved him. This wasn't just a crush. Honestly, to me it never was, but I never realized how incredible those three words really are.

Just as I reached for my phone to call my mom, the door opened. Jason peaked in, grinning at me. "Hey kiddo, you busy?"

Well, kinda.

I shook my head. "No." He nodded and walked in. "Well, Tims on the phone with your mom and I thought you and I could do something. So, wanna get coffee? Or tea? Or whatever you drink?"

He leaned against the door frame as I stood up. "Oh, sure. Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something, so this works out perfectly."

He frowned a little watching me grab my jacket. "Oh, is something wrong?" He stood up straight again, looking worried as I walked to him.

"No. Actually it's the opposite. And I actually love coffee, despite what Dick says about how I shouldn't be drinking it." I chuckled and he smiled, laying a hand on my shoulder. "Perfect. Ready?"

When I nodded we walked out of the room and headed downstairs.

I felt a little odd about talking to Jason without Antonio, but I was worried something was wrong between them.

I wasn't normally one to interfere in relationships, heck usually I didn't care at all, but this was my relationship. It was about me and Antonio.

Maybe I couldn't fix it all by myself, but I felt like I at least needed to try.
