My Italian Boyfriend

Chapter 21

Hola mi amigos

***************
The diner was so small that it had just five booths. Or was it arranged that way?  I walked to the first booth. It had a picture of Misty havens issue 10 and behind it was written  the beginning,

The next paper on the next booth had a painted picture of our first date

The next had one about the BBQ

The last had a broken heart and three words

I'm so sorry

I could feel Toni behind me

     "Mi amore" I could hear the plea in his voice

I bit my lips nervously and turned to face him. 
 
     "I'm sorry" he said

     "Did you believe I'll forgive you because of this "

     "I can always try "

     "I wonder how you'll top this the next time I'm mad at you"

     "Next time? " he asked a smile tugging at his lips

Truth is. I've already forgiven him

     "Next time" I confirmed

     "Thank you " he said softly "I'm sure you want to know why "

     "Yes"

He motioned to the chair. I sat and he followed suit. We were served chicken Alfredo. I tasted it and I was in love with it so much that I moaned

Toni chuckled " Glad to see you liked it"

     "You cooked it? "

     "Yes"

     "It's wonderful "

     "Thank you. It's all for you"

I smiled shyly

     "My granddad, Mario Giuseppe had two sons Luca and Giada. When I was nine, my granddad wanted to announce his heir, obviously it wasn't gonna be Uncle Giada, he is a well known actor and won't handle business at all, so Luca thought that it would go to him so imagine his shock when granddad's will said the company will go to his son, Antonio. He was mortified, and I was a confused 14 year old and the youngest CEO alive. Over a span of a year, Luca had turned from a loving father to a greedy spiteful man. He ran away, and I told Uncle Giada to take care of the company till I turn eighteen. I'm nineteen now but I only handle very serious affairs so that I can concentrate on school. Since he ran away he lost the title  of my father and . Ever since the he's been finding ways to get to me. Sometimes I wonder why granddad chose me and not dad "

I saw his eyes shine with admiration each time he mentioned his grandfather

     "Maybe he saw something you can never seem to realize "

     "What's that"

I shrugged "Only grandpa Mario would know "

He chuckled "Stealing my granddad already "

     "I just might " I said as we fell into silence.

This time a comfortable one

Then I realized that he never said anything about his mother. It might be a touchy subject

     "What is it " he asked

     "Nothing" I snapped

     "Hey tell me anything you want to know"

     "Your mum"

He sighed "She has lung cancer. "

     "Oh sorry "

     "No worries"

     "Is she getting better"

     "Story for another day okay? " he asked for confirmation

     "Sure "

     "I'm sorry Rea I really am"

     "I forgive you "

     "Thank you " He stood up and place my hand in his motioning for me to stand.

He placed a feathered kiss on my knuckles and led me to a new sleek black BMW but not before whispering that the car was mine.
