That phone call destroyed whatever was left of my relationship with my mother. The lingering anger I had towards her was still there but I worked really hard to shove it into a box in my mind that I didn't have to deal with.
âI pretty much told her to stay out of my life so she has. This is the least involved she's ever been and I'm sure it's driving her mad,â I said as I shrugged and sipped my wine again. âI cut off everything from my previous life - my social media, no communication with past friends, nothing. The less interaction I had with people from my parent's society, the better.â
âAnd how do you know Nate wouldn't say anything to them?â
âHe wouldn't,â I answered quickly. âHe knew how overbearing they've been and he wouldn't want to deal with them anyway. My mother also hated his mother for some reason so it's not like our families were close. The chances of them crossing paths were low, it was only when Nate and I needed to get them together and that wasn't going to happen anymore.â
A part of me resented them for embedding this idea of a perfect life in my head. The idea that if I didn't follow what they wanted, I wouldn't be happy or successful was just their own propaganda. Here I was living my own life without restrictions and I have never been happier. It wasn't the life I thought I would have but at least it was mine.
âYou're going to have to tell them,â Giovanni repeated as he sipped on his wine.
âI know but that's not today's problem.â I reached for the plates and started to clear up the dishes.
âWhat if I wanted to meet them?â Giovanni asked.
âTrust me, you don't.â
He didn't push the subject any further and instead, he hopped off the barstool to help me clear everything and load it into the dishwasher. It was strange to be this comfortable with him and yet, I was. We moved as if it was our everyday routine, as if we had been doing this for years.
âHow long have you lived in this apartment?â I asked, as I walked over to his couch and made myself comfortable.
âAbout two and a half years now.â
âIt's a really great apartment.â
âYeah, it was convenient when we opened up the club to turn this into an apartment. Alvaro was already looking at houses with his wife so this worked out perfectly for me.â
He came to join me on the couch with a small tub of ice-cream and two spoons in hand. I smiled and took a spoon from him.
âI hope you like chocolate ice-cream,â he murmured and scooted closer to me.
âWho doesn't like chocolate ice-cream?â I chuckled and draped my legs across his. It was still storming outside and I was comfortably cuddling up to a beautiful man in his beautiful apartment. I couldn't believe the genuine calmness I felt around him. It took a while after the run in with his dad, but eventually Giovanni let go of the tension he was holding onto.
