I’d walk all the way to New York City if it would have calmed me down.
“What is it then?” She was asking me this like nothing fucking happened while I was breathing fire.
“Stop. Fucking. Hitting. On. Roman.”
Her eyes, usually the color of a June sky, started to get cloudy.
“What?”
“Do you wanna drive me crazy?”
“Yes! With my dress, not with Roman. Where did you get that idea? I wasn’t hitting on him.”
I was so angry, I walked a few steps in a small circle to regain focus.
“You…What the fuck was that then, Cat? You just told the guy you loved him?”
She crossed her arms and puffed a laugh, like she couldn’t believe my words.
“Because I do. Are you serious right now? I love him like a sister loves a brother. He basically is my brother and my brother’s best friend.”
“You say that like it would stop you from jumping his bones.”
Why the fuck did you open your stupid trap, Mustafa? I regretted every word before I was done. Catherinelle gasped and stepped back, looking horrified at what she heard.
“Bastardo,” she hissed, and I deserved it. She always turned all Italian when she was angry.
“I’m sorry, baby girl. I didn’t mean that.”
“Listen to me, Hugo Mustafa.” She launched herself forward and stabbed my chest with a finger. “If you think I want to fuck my way through Gino’s circle of friends, you couldn’t be more wrong. Even if I did, I don’t see why it would bother you since all the women who turned your head since the ‘80s were cheap whores!” Her voice kept going higher and higher, but I cared more about making peace with Cat in this moment rather than if someone might overhear us.
“Baby, I’m sorry.” I took her porcelain face in my hands. “I’m angry. I’m a possessive pig. You said it, I’m a bastard. You drive me crazy. Forgive me, princess.”
“Is that what you think?” Her voice was low this time. “That I’m easy because I keep trying to bring you to my bed?”
“No, Cat, Jesus. No. I’m sorry.” I was a broken record. “Jealousy got the best of me. Roman likes beautiful women, and you are the most beautiful thing that ever walked this earth.”
“Roman watched me growing up. He’s family, that’s all.”
“I watched you grow up, and all I can’t think about is banging your brains out.”
“But you won’t. Trust me, I love Roman. I love Ignazio; I love Bianca; I love Gino and Muse; I love Vito, Vincenzo and Lola. I even love Uncle Pepe, even if he has all that hair on his chest and sheds like a collie. It’s nothing compared to what I feel for you.” Physically – the voice in my head screamed – she meant physically! “Now kiss me because we’re gonna go in there, and I won’t be able to touch you for hours.
We collided in a kiss, but I was careful to control myself and not ruin her red lipstick. Restraining myself in public would be a bitch. Why the fuck did she have to be so beautiful?
