“How’s Isabella?Your mother won’t stop talking about her.”
“She’s fine!” Just hearing her name makes me smile. “She discovered a new movie this week... We finally got out of the princess and dragon phase, now we’re in the fish people phase” I comment, and if I didn’t hear my own voice, I wouldn’t believe that I’m the one making comments about children’s movies.
Interacting with a child is definitely something new.I’m still afraid to break her, but since she doesn’t seem so worried about it, things get easier.In fact, it’s not like Isabella offered me any options.
I didn’t make any other promises to her puppy dog face, but damn!I wanted.That girl knows exactly how to get what she wants, and the only thing that kept me from giving it to her was the continual remembrance of a woman who also knows how to get exactly what she wants and, for my own sake, this better not be my head on a spike.
However, when Isabella’s wishes are not in direct conflict with Antonella’s, I find myself doing them without any possibility of resistance.Which, in recent days, has meant everything from tasting edible slimes of different flavors to watching the princess and dragon movie three days in a row.
Hiding in my room is simply not an option anymore, after all, after having built an anti-monster fortress there, Isabella feels more than comfortable knocking on my door and walking through my space as if it were hers too.
Could I ask Antonella to stop her?Yeah, I could.But I don’t want to, and the memory of her laughter makes me laugh.My father mirrors the sound, and I don’t understand why, after all, he has no idea what’s going on in my head.
“What?”
“We got out?”
“Huh?” I don’t understand and wonder if it’s possible he said something I didn’t hear while lost in thoughts.
“We got out of the princess and the dragon phase?” I frown, still taking some time to understand what he’s talking about, and raise my eyebrows when it finally hits me.
“It’s just a way of saying, Dad... Just a way of saying…” I lie, but I’m not sure, even if the understanding surprised me.
“Of course it is...” He accepts my escape, but not without ulterior motives. “So where are you taking your wife today?” Goes back to the subject I believed was closed.
“Actually, I still have a lot of work to do today.I have an important hearing in two days, some contracts to review, motions... The celebration will have to take a rain check.”
“No way!” he denies, emphatically, scaring me. “Have I ever stopped celebrating an important moment with your mother and you?” I open my mouth to answer, but I close it, because I would have to say no, never. Fuck. I take a deep breath, looking for a way out.
“No, dad... It’s just... I can’t do it today.”
“You’ll figure it out, I’m sure! I’ll have Sonia make a reservation at Grigio’s restaurant.” Decides for me, robbing me of the chance to tell him that it’s too late to get a good reservation, even if it was a lie.
If I wanted a reservation at the most sophisticated restaurant in town in two hours, I could.I know, he knows, and yet here we are.
“Dad…”
“Nodad! Weddings are nourished with details.” Gives me another pat on the face, then come over, kiss my cheek and, with a squeeze on my shoulder, leaves the room, leaving me alone to deal with something that shouldn’t be a problem, but is. Dinner with my wife.
I sigh, close my eyes and scratch my forehead.
Maybe it’s not that hard, maybe...
?
Her laughter is like the sound of happiness, and I find myself smiling, stupid.So absurdly stupid as to be led to smile while she mocks of me, and even fully aware of it, delighted to see her face light up and the environment around us contaminated by the sound that leaves her mouth.
“You need to stop looking at me like that...”
“Like what?” I ask, sitting across from Antonella at my father’s friend’s Italian restaurant.It’s not like I really don’t know what she’s talking about or haven’t tried to stop, but I just can’t.
Not when, unlike me, the universe insists that the images I already have of Antonella, engraved with iron and fire in my mind, are not enough, and tonight gave it the brilliant idea of adding another one that I know I will not forget.Maybe it wasn’t so fucking hard...
Her hair is parted to the side, and a lock of it is tucked behind her ear; her lips are again painted red; and her brown eyes are highlighted by a shadow of the same color.
The blue dress outlines her curves to perfection, the off-the-shoulder neckline flatters her breasts, hiding and showing in perfect proportion, and a slit that starts just below mid-thigh fucked my mind the instant I laid eyes on her, because I knew my eyes wouldn’t be the only ones to land there.
And, just as I’d predicted, as soon as we entered the restaurant, every pair of eyes belonging to someone with a cock between their legs turned in Antonella’s direction, making the whole otherwise bad experience even worse, because all of a sudden, for the first time in my life, I felt jealous.
