~ Jasmine's POV ~

I woke up, looked to the side, Massimo isn't there, I let out a sigh, got off the bed, do my routine and walked out of the bathroom wearing this:

I grabbed my phone, sat down on the bed, saw a picture message from my half sister Cynthia. It's a picture of her and her dog Avva.

Cynthia: I miss you Jas.

Me: I miss you too Cyn. But we'll see each other again when I go to Christian's wedding. I love you!

I exit out of the messages, locked my phone, walked out my room, I saw Isabella walking down the hallway, she smiled at me and said " Good morning. "

" Good morning. "

I heard a door open, footsteps walking to us, felt someone wrapped their arms around my waist, the smell of Massimo's cologne filled my nose and he kissed my temple.

" No, stay away from her. You've been hogging her and I haven't spend any time with her for weeks. " Isabella said to him.

" Good morning bellissima. "

I looked at him and said " Good morning amore. "

He kissed my lips, I kissed him back, he pulled away, looked at me and said " I'll be right back, I'm going to a meeting. "

" Okay, be safe. "

" I will. "

He kissed my lips, I kissed him back, he pulled away from the kiss, looked at Isabella and said " You girls have fun. "

" We will. " Isabella and I said.

He gave me a kiss on my forehead and walked away. Isabella looked at me and said " Come on, let's eat. "

" Okay. "

We walked to the dining room, I greeted everyone and we begin to eat.

I am here in Luciano's car, we are on our way to his house, I asked him a few days ago if I can go see his house.

I grabbed my phone from my bag and send Massimo a message:

Me: Hey amore, I know you are in a meeting but I wanted to let you know that I'll be at Luciano's house.

A minute later, Massimo send me a message:

Massimo: Hey bellissima, thanks for letting me know. Have fun!

Me: I will.

**

We are here at Luciano's house, I looked around, he looked at me and said " Do you want something to drink? "

" A water, please. "

He nod his head and said " I'll be right back. " and walked away.

I looked around, saw a family photo on the wall, and heard " You have 2 more aunts and uncles. You'll love them trust me. "

I nod my head, he gave me my water, I thanked him, and he said " Want a tour of the house? "

" Sure. "

**

" Your house is so beautiful. "

" Thank you, you are always welcome here. "

I looked at him and said " Really? "

" Of course. "

We sat down on the couch in the living room, I looked at him and said " Can I ask you something? "

He nod his head and said " Sure. "

" Have you been with anyone after my Mom? "

" Yeah, I did. But they never work out. "

I nod my head and said " Are you okay with me going out with Massimo? "

" Yeah, I do. I know that he'll take good care of you. You're in safe hands. I've never seen him this happy before, he was always so cold blooded. He has no emotion to his face. You make him so happy. "

I smiled and said " He makes me happy too. "

" If he ever hurt you, you tell me and I'll deal with him. "

" I will. "

**

We are here back at the house, Isabella looked at me and said " You're back, come here. "

She grabbed my hand, I followed her to the movie room, Aurora is eating her popcorn, she looked at me and said " Hey Jasmine. "

I smiled at her and said " Hey Aurora. "

" You're just in time. The movie is about to start. "

I walked over to the couch, sat down next to her, she looked at me and said " I feel like I haven't seen you in forever. "

Isabella sat down next to her and said " I know, Massimo's been hogging her. I love seeing him happy. "

Aurora smiled and said " Me too. "

**

" Hey bellissima. "

I turned around, saw Massimo, I smiled at him and said " Hey amore, how was your meeting? "

He sat down next to me on the outdoor couch and said " It was good, what are you drawing? "

I showed him my sketch book, he looked at it and said " That looks really good. "

I smiled at him and said " Thank you. "

" You're welcome, come on. We are going somewhere. "

" Where? " I closed my sketch book.

" You'll see. "

We got up from the couch, walked inside the house, Isabella walked over to us, gave Massimo a duffel bag, he thanked her and we walked out of the house to his car.

He drove off, I looked at him and said " Wow, you can drive? "

He chuckled and said " Yeah, I can. "

Massimo lowered his window, the wind blew on his hair, he grabbed my hand, intertwined our fingers, bring our hands up, and kissed the back of my hand.

A few minutes later, he pulled up at this house, I looked at him in confusion and said " What are we doing here? Who's house is this? "

He looked at me and said " This is my safe house. Come on. "

We stepped out of the car, he opened the trunk, grabbed the duffel bag, we walked in the house, I looked around and said " Wow, this house is beautiful. "

" Thank you, want a tour? "

" Of course. "

**

We are here at the backyard, he looked at me and said " Want to go in the pool? "

" Sure. "

We walked inside the house, he grabbed the duffel bag from the couch, gave it to me and said " Isabella put your stuff in here. "

I nod my head, we walked down the hallway, he opened the door to a guest room, I walked in and he said " I'll be right back. "

He kissed my temple, walked out of the room, closed the door behind him, and I changed into the bikini Isabella got for me.

Once I am changed, I put on some sunscreen, grabbed the towel, Massimo and I walked out of the room, he looked at me and said " You look beautiful. "

I smiled at him and said " Thank you. "

" Let's go. "

We walked to the backyard, got in the water, begin to swim, he got in front of me, cupped my face with his hand, and kissed my lips. I kissed him back, he pulled away from the kiss, looked at me and said " I can't believe you're mine. "

I smiled at him and said " I can't believe I'm yours. "

" I promise I'll always protect you. You mean so much to me. "

I blushed, he kissed my lips, I kissed him back, he pulled away from the kiss, and I said " You mean so much to me too. You make me so happy. "

He smiled and said " You make me too. "

We are here in the kitchen making some food, I am showing Massimo how to make one of my favorite dishes, he loves spicy food so he's going to enjoy this.

He looked at me and said " My other siblings are coming tomorrow. "

" Really? "

He nod his head and said " You're going to like them. Stefania can't wait to meet you. "

" I hope they'll like me. "

" Trust me, they'll love you. "

I nod my head and said " Okay. "

He got behind me, I am stirring the food, he wrapped his arms around me, bend down a little and kissed my cheek. I grabbed a spoon, scooped some food, looked at him and said " Try it? Be careful, it's hot. "

He blew on the spoon, taste the food and said " Wow, that taste really good. "

" Does it need anything? "

" No, it's perfect. "

I nod my head and turned off the stove, looked at him and said " Okay, let's eat. "

We served ourselves, walked over to the dining table, set the food down on the table, Massimo grabbed the wine, and I grabbed the wine glasses. We sat down, he opened the wine, served us and we begin to eat.

We are here in his bedroom watching a movie, I am eating my chocolate, I looked at him and said " Are you sure you don't want any? "

He nod his head and said " Yes, I'm sure. "

" Okay. "

" Does your other siblings know how we met? "

" Oh yeah. I told them. "

" Okay. "

I finished eating my chocolate, I kissed his lips, he kissed me back, I pulled away from the kiss, rest my head on his chest, and he wrapped his arms around me.

We cuddled, watched the movie, once the movie is over, he turned off the tv, I moved away from his chest, looked at him and said " Good night amore. "

" Good night bellissima. "

He kissed my lips, I kissed him back, he pulled away from the kiss, I rest my head back to his chest and we fell asleep.
