Ava's POV

I closed the door as he stepped out of the room and leaned on it. What the hell just happen?

My heart was beating fast. I didn't expect him to do something like that. One moment he was apologising and then he just kissed me on the cheek!! Not only that. That idiot just had to say "Goodnight tesoro " in that sexy Italian voice. Tesoro meant sweetheart from what Monica told me when I asked her the other day.

Ughhhh... I'm not his sweetheart. I'm just stupid nineteen year old nerd and did I mention the-typical-nerd-that-stucks-her-face-in-a-book-all-day nerd, stuck in this unknown part of Italy with not to forget a seven month old baby.

Mr. Rudy just had to kiss me goodnight. What am I? A four year old asking for a kiss?

That didn't seem like a kiss to four year old though. The way his lips lingered on your cheek.

Wow!! Great all I needed was a mocking subconscious now.

A heard a noise to see Alex stirred in his sleep letting out a whimper. I quickly went to attend him. I patted on his stomach and caressed his hair. Oh my baby. The pain due to teething was troubling his sleep. He fell asleep again with drool dropping from his mouth. I chuckled but made sure I was quiet as I wiped it off and made him wear his bib.

Looking at Alex brought me back to my real problem.

Nathaniel..

What did he do to Amadeo? Even after so many days of trying to forget what he did, I failed. And now he is probably the reason of us being here.

With that being my last thoughts I snuggled with Alex and fell asleep.

Amadeo's POV

"It's good to see after long time amico." Said my old friend Santiago.

"Yeah it's been a while." I said drinking the whiskey he brought me.

"This is very good. You always had a good taste my friend. Grazie."(thank you) I said.

"Oh let go of the formalities. You're a friend for god sake. Now you tell what has been stressing you. Only a man in stress can appreciate a good drink."

"Usual stuff. The mafia. Being the boss definitely has it's perks. "

"Well I may not be a capo but I surely know a way to relieve that." He said with a wink.

I knew what he meant and shook my head.

"No I'm in no need of that Santo." I said.

"Aw c'mon man just an approval and you'll have them in front you. Blondes redheads. You name it and you'll have them."

"I said no Santiago."

Seriously why isn't he leaving it? He's saying blondes and redheads as if they materials not humans. This disrespect pissed me off. And also how can I look at those blondes and redheads when I have my eyes for a certain brunette. The recollection of the memory last night brought a smile on my face. Ava. Her reaction was priceless when I kissed her on the cheek. I didn't intend to do that but I couldn't hold back after seeing her adorable face. Also it might have helped to take things off her mind for now.

"Whoah whoah look at that in one moment you go Mr.Pissed off to Mr.Smiley. Does that mean you're ready. My offer still stands bro. You know the chicks would absolutely love-"

"Santo." I warned . My smile soon faded because of this idiot. How am I even friends with this guy?

He raised both his hands in surrender. "Okay man no chicks. But how about some booze?"

"What the fuck man? You know I don't do those stuff. I may be the mafia but I only deal with ammo not booze stuffs or human trafficking. "

Now, I'm really angry. I poured myself another glass and downed all at once.

"Fine I'm sorry. Hey you go easy on the drink. Are attempting on finishing the whole bottle today? Not that I won't bring you anothe-"

"Oh shut up Santo."

"Okay mate it's time for you to go home."

"Yeah I guess so. You too get lost you've really pissed me off today."

I stood up and called my driver to take me home. I planned on talking to Ava but I crashed on the bed as soon as I got home.

I showered and got ready for my day. I went to the kitchen and saw Monica.

"Buongiorno signore"(Good morning sir). She greeted.

"Buongiorno Monica."

"Would you like your coffee now?"

"Yes immediately and has Ava had breakfast yet?"

"No I just prepared Alex's breakfast and gave it to her. She must be feeding him now."

"Tell her to join me for breakfast after she's done feeding him, will you?"

"Sure."

"Thank you".

This is the time. I have talk to her clear things out. The more the delay the more it will hurt.

I drank my coffee and read the newspaper while I waited for her.

Ava's POV

"Okay bug this is the last bite say Aaa."

He shook his head.

"C'mon bubby last one for you. Say Oah."

He again shook his head. Oh this kid is getting stubborn day but day.

"Ouch" I said rubbing my arm. He gasped and I took the opportunity to place the last bite in his mouth.

"There there you're done good job buddy." I said as I wiped his mouth. He gave me a scowl. I picked him up.

"Aww that's the cutest scowl I have ever seen but where's my happy baby I want him back. Where's he? Where's he? Ah there you are." He giggled as I tickled him. I laughed along with him.

Then I heard a knock on the door and Monica entered.

"You don't have to knock Monica. "

"Okay okay I won't. Are you done with our young man?"

Alex smiled as she caressed his cheeks.

"Yeah I'm done. Why?"

"Actually Mr.Rossi said you to join him for breakfast. " she said.

Yeah lady you have my attention now.

Okay so I heard no word so far from him yesterday and now his highness wants me to join him for breakfast. Definitely Mr.Rudy.

"Okay I will be there but what about Alex?"

"I can watch him while you two have breakfast. "

"Okay I will down there in a bit."

Whoah time to face Mr.Rudy.

I was just wearing jeans, a plain white t-shirt and a light blue cardigan. Why am I getting conscious about my clothing? Not like I'm having breakfast with a prime minister.

Anyhow I reached the dining room and there he was was sitting with a cup of coffee in his hand. He looked up as he heard me approaching.

We made eye contact and held each other's gaze. I stared at the beautiful blue orbs that staring back at me. Those eyes held warmth,passion and affection. It felt as if they are very known to me. As if I was destined to be with the beholder of those gorgeous eyes.

The clinking of the plates broke our contact. Suddenly we were brought back to reality. Heat rushed to my cheeks and made me blush. What was I doing?

I sat down on the chair as the staff placed breakfast on my plate. I secretly peeked at him to see him hiding his smile. I blushed more. Ok this is embarrassing.

"Good morning Ava" he said.

"Good morning Mr.Rossi"

"I told you to call me Amadeo."

"Right sorry. Good morning Amadeo."

"Now that wasn't so tough." He said. I smiled.

We started to eat. I ate pancakes, with fresh fruits and maple syrup while he ate toast and scrambled eggs. He took a cup and poured coffee.

"Milk or sugar?"

I realised he was asking me.

"A little milk and one sugar please." He nodded. He made the coffee and placed it in front of me.

"I have been meaning to ask you that would like to continue our incomplete talk?"

Oh right. The talk. Suddenly all the forgotten emotions were back.

"I know it makes distressed but sooner or later you have to face it. But also only when you're ready. I will not force you."

"I too think delaying would make this worse. I'm ready for whatever it is. " I said.

"You want to do it today?" He asked .

"Sure."

"I'll send you a car to bring you to my office. You can have Monica watch over Alex. "

"Okay."

With that we ate our breakfast in silence.

I wonder what would happen next.
