Vincenzo's Lover

Twenty Eight

-Mia-

I woke in an empty bed feeling cold. I stretched on the comfortable bed, yawning before opening my eyes and remembering the intense memories from the night before.

I sat up, realising that the curtains around the bed were covering it. They never were usually closed.

With my eyebrows furrowed, I went to peek out the curtain only to fall through it and onto the floor. I squeezed my eyes closed in embarrassment before sitting up and turning to see Dante attempting to contain his laughter whereas Vincenzo just bursted out laughing.

"I thought the clumsiness ended in the last three years!"

I rolled my eyes, standing up and fiddling with Vincenzo's shirt on me. "Good morning. How was your sleep?" I asked the both of them, my face warm as I tried to change the subject.

"Alright, you?" Dante asked as Vincenzo simultaneously said, "fine, yours?" With a smirk. Giving him an annoyed look, I replied to Dante by saying, "fine thanks." Vincenzo snorted making my roll my eyes again as his eyes scanned my body.

"Is Liliana already awake?" I asked but Dante shook his head. "Don't think so. It's still early anyway. I'm going to the office, you kids be good," he winked before leaving the room.

"Well, I'm going to shower," I said, moving to the en suite and lifting my arms to stretch only to lift up the shirt so my butt was shown.

Well done, Mia!

"Want me to come with you?" Vincenzo asked hopefully. I turned to face him, "I'm alright. .maybe one day, if you're lucky. ."

I changed into some denim shorts and a loose pink floral shirt that was sleeveless. It was summertime and the weather looked nice outside. My legs glowed as the sun shone on my from the window. I couldn't help but smile as I put on my makeup before skipping down the stairs to see Vincenzo on his phone at the bottom.

I smiled at him as he turned off his phone and let his eyes roam my body. "Like what you see?" I asked, as his eyes finally came to my face.

"Yes, but go back up those stairs and get changed."

What?

"You look sexy as hell and I can't have any other men drooling over you - you're too fine for that."

I tried my hardest not to think about James and rolled my eyes, placing my hand on my hip. "You're right, I do look fine and look sexy as hell so I'm not changing my outfit for your happiness."

He groaned, pulling me to him and kissing my cheek as I groaned also. "Vince! My highlight!" He rolled his eyes, kissing my cheek.

"I've got to go but if I see you with those short shorts on again. ." He chuckled, pecking my lips before leaving me in the corridor confused and little angry.

I sighed, disobeying him by going into the kitchen to see that it was empty and clean. He didn't own me.

"Val's gone out with Dante and the kids." I turned to see Maria with her hand on her bulging stomach with a smile on her face. "You should go to the hospital," Maria told me, "it's boring in here. Go volunteer to help out there."

I smiled at her, "thanks for the idea. I think I will. Will you be okay here?" She nodded, waving me off, "I'll be fine. "I'll just read."

I arrived at the mafia hospital not long after and was carrying a tray of food to a patient in room 12. I opened the door and almost dropped the tray at the sight in front of me.

It was Bianca in a hospital bed, her hair seemed to look more greasy and thin than before and was pulled into a messy bun. She had her wrist in a handcuff tied to the bed. She was wearing a hospital gown and her face looked so sad. Her face was pale and she didn't have any makeup which made her look different than usual. She had dark bags under eyes. She had faint bruises on her face - on her arms and neck as though she had been beaten not just by me. I instantly felt guilty.
