In love with the Mafia

Episode 12

We finished the day by finishing setting up the babies room, everything was perfection. Ace was being such a good dad without even noticing, everything just flowed so naturally it's like hes always been there. It was dinner time and i insisted on sending his maid Marie home for the night. I met her when i got her she was the sweetest lady i have ever met and vowed to watch after my kids as i they were hers. I also met some of Ace's men, they all respected me and were very kind. Ace said they will also receive orders from me and i should be given the same amount of respect they give him. I dont know how i feel about "giving orders" but it was nice to know people respected Ace so much and were willing to give their life for him. I insisted on cooking tonight as i felt it was the least i could do for him treating us the way he has. I was finishing my spaghetti when i feel a pair of arms hug me from behind and nuzzle their head in my neck, "I can get used to seeing you in my kitchen" "Well youre gonna have to since i live here now" "Now get off i have to finish unless you want burnt spaghetti" he chuckled and pulled away after kissing my cheek. We had to talk about our relationship soon before we cross boundaries that after they are crossed there is no going back. I got ready to set the table but he insisted in doing so while i served the food. Thankfully the babies were already fed and were sleeping so this would be better for us to talk. He was moaning with pleasure as he took his first fork full of spaghetti. "This is amazing baby" "Thank you im glad you like it" I'd be lying if i say i didnt feel relief knowing he liked it. "It looks like something is bothering you" he said as he wiped his mouth and reached for his wine. "I want to talk about us" He stared at me intently and said "Go on tell me whats on your mind" "I want us take it slow, not rush. Im scared of your mom finding out and your fiance" He clenched his jaw and took my hands in his and looked straight in my eyes and said "Aria finding you and having you back in my life was a blessing i dont deserve and knowing i have two beautiful kids is the greatest gift life has ever given me, i f****d up yes i know and this life time will not be enough to ask you to forgive me and show you how deeply sorry i am but you and the kids are the reason my heart beats. Nothing not even my mother will ever be able to hurt you and for that you have my word" My eyes began to water hearing him express himself that way. He wasnt that ruthless Mafia leader he was Ace, the guy i fell in love with years ago. He wipes my tears and pulls me into a loving kiss "I really do love you baby, so much" "I love you too" We finished eating and went to our bedroom. "I'm gonna shower ill be out in a few" i said as i entered the bathroom, i let the water hit my skin as i tried to mentally understand i was going to sleep in a bed with Ace again, i used his body wash as i dont have any of mine. I finish washing and proceed to get out and wrap my self in a towel i mentally curse as i remember i dont have any clean clothes, but i remembered Ace telling me he was getting a new me a full closet but i didnt bring any of it with me inside. After sitting there for 10 mins contemplating what to do there was a knock on the door "Baby are you okay in there ? you turned off the water a while ago." "Ye...s..Yes everything is fine" "Open the door Aria" He sounded worried, so i opened the door it's not like i was gonna stay in hiding forever. I slowly open the door and peek my head out "Im fine Ace" "Then why are you taking forever in there ?" "I um ... I forgot my um clothes" he burted out laughing. "What were you going to do ? just stay in there and wait until i fell asleep? " "Well no... i just didnt know what to do." i said shyly. "Ill get you some clothes baby dont worry" he turns way and i sigh in relief , you'd think since we have kids together why would i be this shy around him. And frankly i wouldnt know they answer. He's my first everything he still gives me those butterflies i got from the moment i saw him sitting in class. Till seeing him become a wonderful father. It's something so amazing but so terrifying at the same time. I mean this man is a Mafia leader but what can i say? I guess i fell in love with the Mafia.
