Idon’t know if anything else could top the night that I had with Ciro. We didn’t end up making it back to our own reception. Alex got us a room there, so we moved up to the room where Ciro made good on his promise to get me pregnant. If I’m not pregnant this time around on purpose, then that’s fine, I can enjoy trying to do all of that.
I wave goodbye to my new friends, Kenna, Alex, and the lot as the jet takes off. I can’t believe that we’ve only stayed here for about a week tops. It felt like paradise being here. I’m still fascinated at the way everything looks in the sky, so even when I can no longer see Kenna and all of them, I look at the clouds. They’re so peaceful and I love it. “Baby, you mind paying attention to me?” Ciro teases.
“Sorry,” I say, and I smile at him. “What were you saying?”
“Oh, not much. Just asking if you’re excited to go back and if you want to take a quick nap in the cabin.”
I narrow my eyes at him. “A nap?”
Ciro chuckles. “Yes, an actual nap. Come on.” Ciro says. I place my hand in his and he leads me to the cabin while Adriano and Boston discuss something with Matteo and Bobby.
When we get to the cabin, Ciro does exactly what he means, we cuddle, and he naps. For the first time ever, Ciro falls asleep before me. I turn in his arms to look at him. I run my fingers through his hair, and I trace over his facial features. Even in his sleep, he smiles. “Thank you for everything that you’ve given me. I promise to give you the world and more if I can. You mean everything to me, My Demetrius. Thank you for finding me in this life,” I say to him.
Ciro groans and pulls me closer to him. He opens his eyes when his forehead is right on mine. He doesn’t say anything, but he just watches me. We don’t have any more words that can express how we feel. We just know. I lean in shutting my eyes hard and I kiss him. For the first time, I initiate the kiss that someone who has the biggest crush on someone does. A timid, shy kiss that shows my true feelings. Not one that leads to sex but one that just tells him that I love him with all my heart, and I am dedicated to him. Forever.
