Bellissimo Angelo- Book Three

Chapter 16 - Confessions

After we arrive and get seated, Dom reaches out his hands for mine across the table, "So, how did the funeral go?" he asks.

"It was good until Nate showed up. In true Nate fashion, he started to make a scene and tried to get me to leave with him. I kept telling him to go away, but he was persistent. Earl and my brother were going to step in until you showed up, and I left with you."

"I did see your ex there. He didn't seem very happy when you left with me. I could see it all over his face." he responded.

I roll my eyes, "Yes, he doesn't seem to get the hint. First of all, that was not the appropriate time nor place to do that, and second of all, his words mean very little to me."

"I am still trying to figure out why a girl as beautiful as you are would waste your time on someone like him. He is not very respectful of women; I could tell that when I saw him at the pizza place."

I snickered, "You got that right."

Dom squeezes my hand a little tighter, "Something else is bothering you. I can tell."

A look of shock crosses my face. How is he able to read me so well? Before I can answer, the waitress greets us, handing the menus to us before taking our drink order. After she leaves, I continue, "Well, my best friend Brie was there. I haven't seen the girl in four years because she's been away at school. The first day she comes to town, she decides to get coffee with my brother's best friend. It makes no sense to me. I felt like she could have at least talked to me after the funeral. She even told me that we would catch up afterward."

"Well, you will need to tell her how you feel when you see her. If she is a good friend, she will understand your frustration and apologize," he responds reassuringly.

"I probably won't even say anything to her."

He narrows his eyes at me, "You should let people know when they hurt you. Otherwise, they will continue to hurt you unknowingly. You are too nice, and people will walk all over you. You don't deserve that."

I sigh audibly, "I know you are right; it's just hard to do. I hate conflict."

He crosses his arms in front of his chest, his eyes boring a hole through me, "I will break you of this habit. I will also get you to sing in front of people."

My eyes grow wide; my heart begins racing. I turn my head away from him to avoid eye contact as I cringe from the thought, "Oh no...no...no...I can't do that, Dom. Please don't make me do that. I am way too shy."

"Yes, Maggie. You will sing for me every night until you are comfortable. I will enjoy it very much. You should share your talent with the world."

I sit back in the booth and place my hands over my face and shake my head from side to side before answering, "Every night?"

He nods his head, his eyes never leaving mine, "Yes, every night..."

"So does this mean we are together? Is this what we are doing? Are we dating exclusively?" I ask curiously.

"I would like to be together, yes. There is one thing you need to know about me first," he responds.

I snort and place my head in my hands, "Oh my God. Please don't tell me you are married."

"Oh no! I am divorced for sure. It is something personal about me. It's what caused my divorce in the first place."

I slowly lower my hands to my lap as a shiver runs down my spine. My mind begins to race, "What do you mean?"

He runs his hand through his hair, "Well, I think you should know before you decide to be with me that I had cancer. I had a brain tumor removed over a year ago and underwent a round of chemotherapy."

I throw my hand up to stop him, "Wait a minute. This was the reason for your divorce? Why?"

"Yes, my ex-wife, Suki, couldn't handle it, and she was scared to endure it again. The side effects of chemotherapy are horrific, and I do not blame her. The doctors believe that they got it all out. It started as melanoma, and I didn't pay much attention or seek treatment for it. Well, that was a mistake; it only got worse, resulting in a brain tumor. I just wanted you to know that it can return and spread to other parts of my body. I would understand if you are not up for it. As of now, I am cancer-free." He responds.

I reach my hands across the table; he places his hands into mine, "Well, I'm not just going to up and leave over that. I am crazy about you, Dom."

"You are sure you are up to handle any condition I am in?"

I smile warmly at him, "I am up for anything as long as it's with you."

He lowers his head as his cheeks flush, "Good... I like that."

"You are still taking me to Venice to meet your family, right?" I reply as I try to lighten the mood.

He snickers, "I shook your hand, didn't I?" he asks.

"That you did..." I respond as I squeeze his hands.

"Maggie, I am in love with you." He utters softly.

His words go straight through me, my entire body begins to tremble, and I swallow hard as tears begin to pool in my eyes, "You are in love with me?"

"Yes, I am in love with you. I am certain. You are everything I prayed for. Sent right from the heavens with your beauty and amazing voice. I wish you could see how truly amazing you are and how much you mean to me."

I reach up with my index finger to wipe a tear rolling my cheeks. " I am so in love with you, Dom,"

He belts out a chuckle, "I like that."

The waitress interrupts our conversation by sitting our drinks down on the table and taking our order. Once she leaves, I continue, "I don't think we should let anyone know at work."

"Oh? Why not?" he asks curiously.

"Well, if our boss thinks we are together, he may not allow us to close together alone. That means you won't get to hear me sing and play the piano or f**k me there after closing."

"Oh no, we should keep this to ourselves. I like to be there alone with you. Thank God I do not have to close with Alisha. She is like a fly swarming around my head that won't go away." He says as he playfully swats the air.

I begin roaring with laughter, "Yes, I think that is a good way to describe her."

After some time the waitress brings our food. We continue making small talk throughout dinner, and once we are finished, Dom pays the bill, and we head out towards his house. The remainder of the night was spent wrapped up in each other's arms. We stopped momentarily to catch our breath before we were back at it again. Whatever happens between us, I can say that this is the happiest time of my life. Our romantic rendezvous lasted until the wee hours of the morning before our bodies gave out, and we fell fast asleep. 

Dominic's POV

I am awakened by the sun glaring through the blinds. I turn and roll over to my other side to avoid the glare to find my girl lying with her back to me; I can hear her breathing softly as she is sound asleep. Il mio bellissimo angelo (my beautiful angel.) I have a strong desire to reach out to touch her; I need to feel her skin beneath my fingertips. I lift my hand and slowly reach out to touch her shoulder, grazing my fingertips across her skin; her skin is so soft. I move in closer and spoon her, skin to skin, before leaving a trail of kisses down her shoulder and her back. She begins to stir before letting out a soft pitch moan. I move my fingers across her body, down her backside, before I insert my index and middle finger into her core to feel her warmth. She inhales audibly before turning towards me, "Ahhh! Mmmmm...Good Morning." 

"Good Morning, Bella," I whisper as I graze my lips across her shoulder. 

 Without hesitation, she rolls back over on all fours before turning her attention back towards me. I remain in place, waiting for her direction. She runs her tongue across her lower lip, her eyes flicker with desire, "Well, come on now, you got me going." 

I quickly pop up and lunge towards her, positioning myself between her legs. I run my erection along her slit to get it slick with her arousal before slowly entering her. She belts out a soft pitch moan as I fill her up. Mmmmmm..... She feels amazing. Si sente incredibile (She feels incredible!)

I grasp her hips and pull her into me, throwing my head back while savoring every minute of being inside of her, feeling her warmth. I have so much love in my heart for this woman that my heart could just explode at any moment. La mia anima gemella (my soul mate.) 

I could do this all day, every day, and never grow tired of it. She begins to moan a little bit louder as I can feel her body tense beneath my fingers. I increase my speed and pound into her faster and harder. My body tenses along with hers as my c****x approaches. After a few seconds, it hits me...Ahhhh! My release takes hold of me, as does hers. We are so in sync with each other; I can feel everything that she feels; I've never experienced that with anyone before. I slowly remove my c**k from her p***y and turn to lay on my back, attempting to catch my breath as she flips around and collapses on top of the bed next to me. I turn to face her before running my finger along her chin, "Would you like to shower with me, Bella?" 

"Yes, that sounds nice," she responds.

The two of us roll off the bed. She picks her overnight bag off the floor and follows me into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.
