LARISA'S POV
"So how is it going?" I asked Antonio as I continue wiping my hair with the towel all dressed up for the day. I set next to him on the couch as he types so fast on his Ultrabook.
"I can't wait to see the shock on their faces when they find out you are more than alive." Antonio turns to me and smirks before smashing his lips on mine, I momentarily kiss back. Our mouth smoulder together and went with the flow. Few minutes later I broke the kiss as we stare into each other's eyes while trying to catch our breath.
"I love you prezioso."
"I love you to my prezioso Antonio." I said then wink. He chuckles.
"You're learning." He nods.
"Oh please just knowing how to pronounce and knowing the meaning of just a word isn't knowing the language you know." I said picking up his wine glass and taking a sip before returning it back to its position.
"But you are picking up."
"Let's hope after this war, I know it all."
"Let's hope so." He nods. The room felt with silence as we look into each other's eyes. I thought came to my mind, as I become doubtful. Is he going to leave me again? Is he going to stand by my side no matter what? Does he really love me? Or his love isn't strong enough to be with me after all we past through, I mean I past through? I shouldn't get to attach to him, I might just get disappointed anytime.
"Hey, is something wrong?" Antonio asks softly. I let out a tiredly sigh before forcing a smile.
"Nothing is wrong. Why do you ask?" I said and ask. Antonio stares at me for a bit too long then nods faces down before moving back from me and faces the Ultrabook again and starts typing. I let out a sigh and got up from the couch.
"I'm so tired. I'll just go take a nap. Wanna join?" I asked. He shook his head still looking at the screen. "Are you sure you don't want to join me?"
"Go and take your rest, Larisa." He says but honestly it looks like he is trying to keep calm. I slowly nodded and went upstairs.
***
I blink my eyes open and noticed the darkness in the room. I set up and looked around, Antonio isn't here. I got up from the bed and left the room, going straight down the stairs. I took the direction to the living room where I saw him last before going to sleep. To my surprise, he is still there but this time he isn't with his Ultrabook. He is just starring at the ceiling.
I slowly walk towards him and set on the couch. I brought my hand to his shoulder.
"Do you trust me?" His question left my hand mid air and I brought it back to myself.
"Why do you ask?"
"You don't trust me." He says. I kept quiet. "That's why you looked doubtful earlier." He lightly chuckles. I just cleared my throat and tried sitting in a comfortable position. I didn't know he noticed.
"I..." I didn't know what to say. The truth is, I am doubtful about him. I feel like the day will just come again and we part ways again. I keep expecting the time he leaves me to come, maybe he'll just leave me after that day we end everything with my lovely father and darling husband. The sarcasm. I just want to enjoy the moment before it's too late.
"Why don't you trust me?" He stares at me emotionless.
"You left me for three years Antonio, it isn't a short period of time." My vision becomes blurry. The brutality if those memories resurfacing.
"I told you I'm sorry."
"Sorry, doesn't change the truth Antonio. If you could stay away from me for that long, why wouldn't it be easy for you to do it again?" I ask rhetorically. A single tear slides down my cheek. I quickly wipe it off and sniff.
"Larisa, if you think my life was any better in those three years, that's the biggest lie in the world. I felt empty even when my mum was there, I still felt empty. I felt like I lost a huge part of me. I felt like I lost my light and happiness." I looked up at him as he continues. "Larisa, I felt really lonely. I felt like my heart had a big hole on it, because it hurt like hell." I stare into his eyes.
"So you are not going to leave me again?" I ask.
"That's if I want to commit suicide. Because you are my warmth, light, stare, colours and soul." He says. He moves closer to me on the couch reaching few inches from my face. "Your pain, became mine." He says searching my eyes. After few minutes of staring at each other. I couldn't find any lie in them. I smirk.
"I trust you Antonio." I said then smashed my lips on his. He kissed back and puts his hand at the back of my neck, deepening the kiss. Things started getting heated.
He was about to rip off my dress but I decided to control myself and stop him, stop this. As much as I wanted this, it still felt wrong. I'm happy someone even stopped us last time, only God knows the guilt I would have drown myself in. "Antonio, stop." I said. He slowly moves back from my neck, he stares into my eyes.
"Are you okay? Does the past still hunts you?" He asked searching my eyes. I let out a sigh.
"No, I just..... don't want to commit adultery." I said painfully. He stares at me. After a few minutes of waiting for his reaction, he lets out a sigh and moves back from me.
"I can't wait to kill them." He says cursing after that.
"Just two more days left for us to deal with them." I boldly say. Antonio turns to me a bit shocked but turns back to a blank stare.
"You have really turned to something else." He says.
"Thanks love." I perk his lips not smiling a bit, knowing how right he is.
***
"We are done for today." Antonio said.
"I know." I smirk at him. He walks towards me and carries me bridal style. I put my hand on his hard and built chest. We started making our way out the gym.
"I can walk you know?"
"Yes I do." He walks up the stairs.
We got to his room which I'm use to. He finally drops me down, I almost fell with the wiggly feelings my legs were giving. But I quickly adjust to it.
"I should go and bath." I said.
"Okay." He replies. I made my way to the bathroom.
I stripped out of my clothes and got in the shower. The water came out cold at first but slowly turned warm. I heard the door opening but didn't pay much attention.
I suddenly felt a presence at my back. Arms wrapped around my waist and my back hits his chest. Hus head reaches my neck as he sniffs.
"I can't wait to have you, again." He says huskily, making me warm under. I knew he was naked just like I am, and I wonder how he is coping. But I felt comfortable around him.
"Me too." I admitted. As I lay my hands on top of his wrapped ones around my waist. After a few moments of silence with just the sound of the shower.
"We are going to meet everyone today."
"What?" I asked.
"I need to introduce you as my woman to all the gang members."
I smiled and slowly nodded.
