Koi soups I'm sure you all have noticed I've went back and titled all the previous chapters. I think it adds to the story so I'll be doing so from now on. What do you guys think of the titles? Do they make sense?

"Mijo Lianna is perfect for you."

Mom and I are having brunch. Lianna said she had some errands to do so she couldn't tag a long. Though I think she wanted to give us alone time. Lianna is one of the most considerate individuals I know. But back to what mom said.

"Really? I'm happy you thinks so because I agree 1000 percent. She suits me in every way. I love her mom."

"I know I can tell. Your eyes light up like its Christmas whenever she's around. It's like your a child again with how happy you seem. I'm happy she's isn't like Adrianne. I never liked that girl for you."

We can both agree on that as well.

Adrianne didn't deserve me. Anyone who cheats on someone they claim to love doesn't deserve the other person.

"Where do you see your relationship going with Lianna?"

I don't even have to think to answer.

"I want to marry her one day. Have children, grow old together."

She seems shocked at my answer but the shimmer in her eye said there's more to it than that.

"Mom what is it?"

"You know last night I asked Lianna this too and she answered the same way you did. She wants to marry you create a family together."

Oh really?

We've talked about it here and there especially after our pregnancy scare. It's nice to know we're on the same page in the marriage aspect because we've only discussed how Lianna feels about having children. This puts some things into perspective about our future.

"Boy are you listening to me?"

"Sorry not really. What were you saying?"

Mom shakes her head in annoyance.

"When can I expect my first grandchild?"

"Mom it's too soon to think about that. Lianna still has next year to complete to get her degree. Maybe a year or two after that."

"I don't know if I can wait three more years. What about two?"

"You know that's not how it works right?"

"Of course, I had you didn't I."

I really don't want to picture that.

"All I'm saying is your mom is getting old so don't take too long."

"Alright I'll see what I can do but don't count on it."

She starts jumping in her seat. Someone really wants grandchildren.

What did I set myself up for?

She's definitely gonna hold this over my head for the next few years. For birthdays, Christmas, Easter whenever I ask what she wants it'll be a grandchild. Well it's too late to take it back now.

"So when's the wedding?"

"Momm! Really."

"Alright alright mijo. I'll be patient."

Moments like these I swear my mom's crazy.

°°°

It's starting to come together now liked I want. What am I doing you ask? Painting a piece for Alezorio's birthday present. It's an oil piece that looks realistic. I've been working on it for a few days now. Every chance I get to use 'going to run errands' I try to get some of it done at home. I don't think Alezorio has any idea. I can't wait to see the look on his face when I give it to him.

This piece is helping me get back into the groove. I've been so busy with school, relationship, I haven't found the time to do anything art wise. The only thing I have to work out now is his birthday night. Whether I want us to spend the night at a hotel or his place? But now Maria's here it leaves us having to be cautious. I would hate for her to hear me while we're doing it.

Maybe I can send her on a night out with my mom so they can get acquainted.

Hmm maybe. I could ask mom if she's free tomorrow night. Hopefully she'll like to meet Maria so things will go smoother with these plans. Alezorio is in for one hell of a night. For once I'll have him under my thumb instead of it being the other way around.

I finish the last few touches to let it dry. I gathered all the brushes to wash at the sink and paint tray because it's better to wash oils paint off right away or it's more difficult once it drys.

Mom is in her room so I go to ask her about tomorrow. When I walked in she was lying in bed on her phone watching motivational videos on Facebook.

"Mom are you free tomorrow night?"

"Yes."

"Would you like to meet Alezorio's mom? Maybe go have dinner, get to know her."

"That actually sounds fun. I haven't been out with anyone my age lately. Yeah I'll go. What time should I be available tomorrow?"

"At 8."

"Okay send me all the details. I'm going to meet her eventually so why not sooner. What's her name?"

"Maria. Yeah I'm sure you ladies will have fun. You'll get acquainted."

"Thanks mom."

"For what honey?"

"Nothing I'm glad you're willing to meet her. She's a wonderful lady."

"Your welcome."

I left her room knowing that piece of the puzzle is figured out. One more thing to cross off my check list. Later when I'm at Alezorio's I'll let Maria know about everything.

I start gathering my things to head over to his place then call an Uber because I didn't want to take the bus. It arrives in 4 mintues and I'm on my way.

°°°

"How was brunch?"

"It was nice." Maria admitted.

"My mom would like to get to know you. Would you be open to having dinner with her tomorrow night?"

"Oh that sounds fun. What time?"

"At 8."

"Tell her I'll be there. It'll be nice getting to know the woman responsible for how amazing you are."

Alezorio walks into the living room then. He looks back and forth between the two of us.

"Can I give her your number to call you?"

"Yes that fine darling."

Alezorio comes and sit beside me. He takes my hand in his and starts rubbing his thump over it. The sensation makes me cuddle into him resting my head on his chest. He smells nice. Then again he always smell nice.

"Aww look at the love birds. This old lady is going to take a nap. Wake me up mijo an hour before dinner."

"Sure mom enjoy your nap."

As soon as she leaves Alezorio whispers in my ear.

"I noticed you haven't mentioned what we're doing tomorrow. Does my love have secret birthday plans for me."

The way his voice deepens make my appetite for him flare up. I swear Alezorio can do just about anything and I'll want to have sex with him. It's a skill really.

"Hmm I don't know. Do I, you'll have to wait till tomorrow to find out? What time do you get off work tomorrow?"

"At 6:30."

Good that's plenty of time to get the bedroom set up and grab his painting.

"I can't wait to get my gift even though I've already got it. You're my gift Lianna the best person that's ever entered my life. I love you so much baby."

Aww he's always says the sweetest things.

"I love you too Ali. Don't think even for a second Stacie has changed that. I don't think I'll ever stop loving you."

I give him the sweetest kiss ever. Alezorio holds my neck closer. His tongue sucks on my own as my legs wrap around his waist. Things are getting heated but I pull away breathing hard.

"I love you but we're still not having sex today. You're punishment isn't over yet."

"Lianna come one. Please baby just a quickie."

"Nope I meant what I said."

"Ugh just wait till I get home tomorrow. I'm going to f*uck you so hard you'll never do this again."

"Oh really? I can't wait."

"Keep playing with me love. You won't be able to walk for a week after I'm done with you."

Alezorio sits up pulling me into his lap so that I'm straddling him. Suddenly smacks my *ss real hard. I can't with him. He has no idea what's in store tomorrow.

Koi soups did you enjoy this chapter. The next one is going to be amazing I hope. Will try and make it a long one.
