Giovanni

She didn’t want to talk to me there. She just wanted to leave, so I brought her back down to my car. We got in, and I drove to the only other place that made sense—my place.

Unlike my office, my residence wasn’t anything big or grand, certainly not like Nonna’s place, because all I really did there was sleep and store things. I had never even fucked anyone in my house because I made a point never to let any of the chicks I banged know where I lived. It was safer for everyone that way.

I pulled into the driveway of my modest four-bedroom home and hit the button to open the garage.

Victoria still hadn’t said a word, which was starting to worry me. I was used to quiet rides with her, but usually they were comfortable and full of ease. Tonight, I could feel the tension radiating off her in waves. The roses had really shaken her up, and it was starting to worry me.

Who were they from? Why did they worry her so much? Was there another guy? I knew she had said that she had a boyfriend, but I assumed that she had gotten rid of him already. Maybe she hadn’t, and she was worried about telling me?

Question after question raced through my head, each one more ridiculous than the last.

After I had driven into the garage, shut the car off, and hit the button to close the garage door, Victoria and I continued to sit in the car, in the dark. I waited for her to move, but she didn’t. Sick of the silence and the tension, I sighed.

“We are going to go inside, and I’m going to have a beer while we discuss whatever the fuck is going on. Would you like one?” I asked and she shook her head.

“I’m not a fan of beer, but thank you.”

“I might have a wine cooler or two in the fridge if you like those.”

She was quiet for a minute longer before she nodded.

“Yeah, okay.”

We got out of the car, and I led her through a small door on the right side, which led to a set of steps that brought us up and into the kitchen. It was a simple kitchen with an open concept, so I could see all of the living room and dining room as soon as I entered the house. It was one of the many reasons I had bought the place to begin with. Fewer walls meant I would have fewer surprises, and that was important, especially in my line of work.

I closed the door behind Victoria as she came into the kitchen after me, and I went to the fridge to grab a beer. When I opened the door and looked inside, I realized that beer and four margarita wine coolers Logan had given me as a gag gift were the only things in there. It was a good thing we had already eaten because I had nothing to offer her.
