Page 14 of I Saw Mommy Kissing Biker Claus

“I’m a secretary for a small law firm in St. Cloud. And I do enjoy it, but I’ve always wanted to go back to school and get my law degree. I’ve been taking classes and I’m almost done with my Bachelor’s. Then I need to decide if I want to get my law degree. And now that I have Davis, I want it more. I want to give him the best life.”

“I hate to keep pushing you to move, but I want to throw this out there. If you live here, you’ll have a whole support system. There will always be someone to help you with Davis. No matter what. And I know for a fact that Valentino will do anything and everything to help you both.”

I nod at Isabella. “When I came here, I was certain I was going to hate Valentino. But now?—”

“You like him. He grows on you.”

I laugh. “Kayla, Davis’ mom, didn’t tell me the whole story. And I understand why she did what she did. But I hated him.Now I know the truth and I’m just confused. It’s harder because I do like him. A lot.”

Isabella is smiling at me…like she knows something I don’t.

“I want to talk to you about Valentino. He’s a good guy and will lay his life down for someone he loves. He will protect you and Davis with his last breath. He’s not always the best with words, but when he says something? He means it.”

“Has he been with a lot of women? I’m sorry, you don’t have to answer that.”

“I don’t mind, I understand your worry. But no. He’s never brought home a woman. I know he’s not a monk. But no one’s ever meant enough to him to bring home. I’m not saying your friend didn’t mean anything to him. But from what I understand, they both knew it wasn’t serious.”

“That’s what Kayla said in her letter. That she wanted me to meet Valentino and she had a feeling we’d like each other. It’s just scary. I mean we just met, how do you know what to do in such a short time?”

“Sometimes you just know. I think you need to follow your instincts. Honestly, that initial feeling you have is the one to listen to.”

“I wanted to hate him. But I don’t, he’s not what I expected at all.”

“You’ll figure it out, give yourself time if that’s what you need. The answers will come to you. How long were you planning on staying?”

“Three weeks.”

“You should stay here on the property. For one, it will save you money on the hotel. And you can get to know all of us. Even if it doesn’t work out with Valentino, we’d still be your family because of our connection to Davis.”

Isabella hugs me.

“Thank you so much. I’d like to stay here, but where would you put us?”

“You can stay in one of our vacant houses if you want.”

“I’d really like that.”

“I’ll have the guys get your things and you can take a tour of your new house.” Isabella smiles as Luciana joins us.

“Did I hear that right? You’re going to stay?” Luciana smiles.

“I’m going to see how things are at the end of three weeks. But I have a feeling I’m not going to want to leave.”

The twins get Valentino and their brothers to pack up my room and check me out. I offered to help but they said no. At least most of my stuff was still packed. These next three weeks will be interesting. I take a moment to call my twin.

“Hey! So? What’s Valentino like? Did you do the DNA test?”she blurts out as she answers.

Ilaugh.“Yes, we did the test and he is Davis’ father. Valentino is nothing like I thought he would be.”

“Holy shit! You like him!”she squeals.

“Oh my god. Shush. If you yell any louder someone will hear you.”

“Good. Cause I bet you haven’t told him you like him.”

“I don’t know if I like him.”

“Please. I can hear it in your voice. So when should I come visit?”
