Page 44 of Remember That Time

Growing up in the Galeazzi family, I had no doubt that he had been exposed to the finer things in life. It would be useless for me to show those types of things to him.

I wanted to show Gianni what dating me would be like. I wanted to spoil him and show him our little corner of the world.

I had just the place in mind.

Chapter Thirteen

~ Gianni ~

I grimaced as I stared down at the cotton ball taped to my arm with a thin piece of white medical tape. It hadn't really hurt when the technician drew my blood, but the thought of it was making me a little woozy.

Apparently, I didn't do blood while pregnant.

"You doing okay?" Janos asked.

I nodded even though I really wasn't. I felt as if I was just moments from spewing. "I just need some fresh air."

"Then let's go." Janos grabbed me by the elbow and started steering me toward the front door. "The lab should have our results back in a few days. There's nothing we can do about them now and worrying isn't going to help. Let's go have some fun."

I wasn't sure what Janos's idea of fun was, but I was more than willing to get out of the penthouse. "Don't forget that I need to stop by my apartment."

Janos gave a quick nod. "We can go there first."

I didn't mind wearing Janos's clothes. They almost fit me, but he was about four inches taller than me so the pants were dragging on the ground just a bit. If we were going to be out and about all day long, I wanted my own pants.

I might keep the shirt.

"So, what are we going to do today?" I asked as we went down in the elevator.

Janos held his finger to his lips. "Sshhh. Secret."

Seriously?

When I raised an eyebrow, Janos just chuckled mysteriously at me. I wanted to argue with him for his high-handed ways, but it was also kind of exciting being taken out for a day without me having to plan anything.

I was basically just along for the ride.

Time seemed to fly by after we reached the car and got on the road. It wasn't long before we were pulling up in front of my apartment building.

Before getting out I turned to Janos and asked, "Do you want to stay in the car while I run up or—"

"If you don't mind, I'd like to go up with you."

I smiled to reassure Janos that I didn't have a problem with him coming up with me. "I don't mind."

Neither Tony nor I were slobs. We tended to keep our apartment pretty tidy so I knew I wouldn't be embarrassed if Janos saw the place. Granted, it looked nothing like his penthouse, but it was still a nice place.

Once the driver opened the door, I slid out. I turned, expecting Janos to climb out the other side of the vehicle, but he just slid across the seat and got out on my side.

He took my hand as soon as he stood up. "Ready?"

I nodded and started leading him toward the building. "We won't be here long. I just need to change my clothes and grab a couple of things."

"Take whatever time you need, Gianni. I'm in no hurry."

He might not be, but I was. I wanted to see what he had planned for us. I tugged him into the building and directly over to the elevator to take us upstairs. The ride up to my apartment was silent and quick.

I couldn't keep the smile off my face when Janos refused to let go of my hand. "Are you like this all the time?"
