Chapter 12

Julie

I was currently at Giovanni’s house. It was a Friday, Gio had things to take care of, and I was once again monopolizing his computer. We’ve been going strong for the past month and a half. We’d gone back to his childhood home and had a smaller dinner with his mother and father. She got the opportunity to fulfill her motherly duties with me in regards to her son. She seemed happy about it. As a matter of fact, she called me regularly just to chat and ask questions about her son. I listened and laughed with her as she complained about how her son seemed to be too busy for her. To just call her and chat and she’s expressed how grateful she was to have me there because I made sure he called her at least once a week, mostly for a short time just to talk.

I was in the kitchen fixing my third cup of coffee when I heard a phone ring. I frowned that definitely wasn’t a ringtone I’d heard before. I looked at my cup longingly before I put it down and went in search of the sound. It was like 100 rings later when I found the source, he had a house phone situated in a corner in the living room. I hesitated my hand over the phone, not feeling all that comfortable answering his phone. I wasn’t one of those types of girls. After it rang another four times with my hand hovering, I picked it up and decided to bite the bullet. I would hope no one would let the phone ring that many times unless it was important.

“Hello?” I answered.

“Julie? Is that you?” a frantic woman’s voice came through the line that I recognized immediately.

“Mrs. Ruzzo?”

A groan. “I hate that name I told you, it makes me feel old. Would you call me mom already? Everyone else does.”

I smiled. She’s been trying to beat that into me, but I still didn’t feel like I had the right to do so. “I’m sorry,” I said instead.

“Marco isn’t answering his phone, and yours went straight to voicemail.” She said frantically. “Lorenzo and I are still on vacation in Belize. That damn Sofia got herself into something, and we need someone to get to the school. I know she isn’t your biggest fan, but she’s just very attached to her brothers. Would you mind?” she asked desperately.

She was right, Sofia still hated my guts, and I couldn’t care less. I mean, I cared because it tore Gio up inside and I know he’s gone to Sofia on more than one occasion against my requests to try to talk her into calming down and accepting me. That made her hate me more because she thought I was behind it. I gritted my teeth anticipating the glares and bullshit she was going to give me. “Sure.”

A big sigh of relief. “Oh my god, thank you, dear. I owe you for this.”

“Don’t worry about it.” I answered, but what I was thinking was ‘you really do.
