Chapter 7

Gianni whipped up omelets for them while she sat on a chair with legs drawn up to her chest. The house was empty except for the two of them. She wore a big t-shirt that fell down to her thighs, the sleeves so long they slipped over her hands unless she rolled them up. It felt comfortable to sit around Gianni even in her junk clothes as she called them. He sat a plate in front of her. There was only a small portion of eggs and toast as if he’d already known that her appetite was gone. Still, she had promised to eat so she picked up her fork before she cut into the eggs.

“Now?” She asked.

Gianni sighed. “One track mind.” He took a sip of orange juice. “Yes, now. That woman was my ex wife.”

“You were married?” She asked in surprise.

“Yes, I’m not completely undesirable to all women.”

Kenzie grinned. “I never said that. What happened?”

Gianni shrugged as he popped another piece of egg into his mouth. “We were young. Dated all through high school so we thought it didn’t make any sense not to get married. We were only nineteen, completely different people than we are now. We realized that in our late twenties, divorced, but remained good friends.”

She nodded slowly. “So why did you take a week off?”

“Her mother was sick back home in Italy. She had to take care of her and wanted to know if I could watch her daughter Samantha. I’ve known Samantha since she was a little thing so I told her yes. Me and that little girl had a blast.” He paused, reached a hand across the table. “Of course, I didn’t know you were having such a hard time. Why didn’t you just call me? I only found everything out this morning when Brick called me.”

Kenzie shrugged. “I didn’t have your number.”

He scoffed and shook his head. “You could have gotten it from anyone. That’s not it. You were going through a hard time and didn’t want anyone to know. Am I right?”

Kenzie shrugged. “I’m fine.”

“Bullshit.”

“Look, I don’t need you or anyone else analyzing my life okay? If I say I’m fine, I’m fine.”

Kenzie stood up, grabbed her plate before dropping it into the sink. She was surprised that it hadn’t broken. When she turned around, Gianni was in her face. She tried to go around him, but he was blocking her path. Frustration colored her features.

“Move.”

Gianni ignored her. Instead, his hand went to the back of her neck, pulling her close. She felt the urge to melt as he held her close. He leaned down, lips moving against hers with a hunger she only faintly knew he possessed. Fluttering filled her stomach, the nervous anticipation of his hands roaming her body made her forget her anger.

“Your problem is that you think you have to fight all the time. That you think I didn’t give a shit about you. And you thought that one evening was all there was. I never said I didn’t care about you,” he whispered the words against her lips.
