Finding Heaven

Mommy Problems

**Lorenzo's POV**

The air between us grew thick with anticipation as I awaited her answer. I could see the love in her eyes and the acceptance on the tip of her tongue. Why was she torturing me like this? Having my fear grow and drive me crazy? I held my breath as she studied my eyes, she has not even bothered to look at the ring I had gotten her. A ring that I felt suited her perfectly. She only looked at me.

"Phoebe?" I whispered and caressed her cheek. "I'm dying here. Please put me out of my misery." I begged. 

She moved the ring off of her chest and placed it on the bed next to us. I thought it was a rejection but then she kissed me. Phoebe kissed me like it was our first real kiss. It was slow and passionate. If I ever doubted her for me, it was all erased in this moment. Phoebe was in love with me and I knew right then and there I would be the lucky man to call her mine forever. 

"Yes." She cried against my lips. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" 

The kiss grew deeper. Soon we were panting and holding onto each other tightly, grasping onto each other crazily. I felt like my heart was going to explode with how happy I was. Absolutely nothing could take this moment away from us. 

"I love you, Phoebe. I'll love you for the rest of my life and even in death." I whispered against her skin as I kissed up and down her neck. Then I remembered the most important part. I reached over and plucked the ring out of the box and slid it onto her finger. "Do you like it?" I smiled looking between her and the ring. 

It was a five carat oval diamond ring on a simple white gold band with small diamonds all around it. Phoebe was beautiful on her own and she actually made the ring shine, not the other way around. "It's perfect." She smiled finally looking at it on her finger. "When did you buy it?"

"Are you hungry? I'm hungry." I tried to get up from the bed but she pulled me back down and wrapped her legs around my waist so I could not go anywhere. "I might have brought a week after our first night together."

"First night we spent the night together? First night we said we loved each other?" She asked with a skeptical look. 

I sighed and kissed her nose. "The first night I ever saw you. When I snuck in your window looking for my cousin only to find you asleep and looking like everything I needed but shouldn't have."

"Lorenzo!" Phoebe gasped and slapped my shoulder. "Tell me you're lying."

"I'm not. After Sofia stitched me up and I left. I started looking for the perfect ring. I always knew you were going to be mine. Even when I thought there was no possible way you could be single, I was planning to steal you away from whoever thought they could have my woman." 

"I can't believe you." She chuckled and shook her head. "You have had this the whole time? Why now?" 

"Why not now? I have known since the moment I looked at you that you were going to be mine. I only waited this long because I wanted to earn your love and your heart. I was so tempted that night to just throw you over my shoulder like some caveman and bring you here for us to elope." I laughed, but I was in no way kidding. As much as I tried to keep her at a arm's distance, I was fighting back the urge to kidnap her and own her. "But I didn't want to trap you or force you. I want your love. I need it."

"You have it." She kissed me softly. Before our kiss could build into something more, both of our stomach's growled. "Okay I am a little hungry." 

"Get dressed. Something nice. I am definitely taking you out tonight to celebrate." I jumped out of bed, excited. I have not had the opportunity to show her my beautiful home and the few places I own outside of the mafia. Of course some of the people affiliated still visit, but the money is definitely not in the family business. "Be ready in an hour. We will go to dinner. I know the perfect place."

"Lorenzo, I didn't bring anything nice. Just my regular clothes." Phoebe shrugged and smiled sadly. "I just want to be here with you. Junk food in bed and cuddled up together. We can go out another night. I really just want to stay in our little bubble of happiness a little bit longer."

I couldn't say 'no' to that. Why would I? "Anything you want, baby." I promised. 

I sent Gio to grab us a little bit of everything. Chinese take out, wings, chocolate, ice cream, sodas, anything she wanted. I didn't tell him we were celebrating anything, she didn't want to tell anyone until she told her family and that was fine with me. As long as she said 'yes' and I knew she was mine, nothing else mattered. 

As we laid in bed with food all around us, I didn't even bother looking at whatever show she had put on Netflix. I was too busy watching her. I thought of my life and how things might have turned out differently if I never found her. Would I have ran into her eventually? Would she have even given me a chance if we met differently? I'd like to think that no matter how we met, we would have fallen in love anyways. I knew there was no other woman made for me. She was it. 

"Stop staring." She said without moving her eyes away from the TV. 

"Why?" I whispered. 

She tried to keep her smile from taking over her face but I could tell she was failing. I started to move the food away from us, watching her breathing come faster the whole time. s****l tension was thick in the air. I would not make love to her, but that didn't mean I couldn't make her scream my name. 

When I was about to pull her underneath me, she surprised me by throwing herself on top of me. Her lips found mine immediately and she kissed me with so much passion that I could not keep up at first. I was about to make her writhe underneath me and beg me to never stop, but it seemed like she was about to make me be the one that begged her. 

"Baby, what are you doing to me?" I groaned when she started to kiss me down my neck, to my chest and then lower. I gathered her long hair into my hands and groaned again when she reached my v line. "Fuuuuuuck." Phoebe continued to tease me all along my torso and right above my erection. "Don't tease me, Phoebe. I'll show you real quick who's really in charge here." I pulled her hair, making her look at me. 

"I want you in my mouth." Phoebe bit her bottom lip and smiled seductively. "Make me choke."

Unable to hold back anymore, I hurriedly rid myself of my boxers and guided my hard length between her lips. I started off slow and careful but as my orgasm built up and grew more intense, so did I. Phoebe kept up with exactly what I needed, taking me all the way down her throat and swallowing and sucking as she came up. I loved the sound of her choking on me and then her moans like she was enjoying it. 

"You like it, baby?" I asked her as my d**k fell from her lips with a loud popping sound. "You like making me feel good?" She nodded and she crawled up to straddle me. I grabbed her hips quickly before I accidently slipped inside of her. By the disappointment on her face, I can tell that is exactly what she was going for. "Phoebe." I scolded her and flipped us over so I was on top. "What did I tell you?"

"Please." She pouted. "I already said 'yes' to marrying you." 

"Saying 'yes' isn't the same thing as saying 'I do' in front of God and our loved ones." I grabbed her wrists and raised them above her head. "You're going to be my wife first."

"I do, I do, I do." Phoebe sounded like she was about to throw a fit for not getting dessert before finishing her dinner. Me being the dessert. "Don't you want me? Don't you want to feel the way my tight pu-"

I quieted her immediately with my hand over her mouth and she started to giggle. If she continued talking like that I would definitely not be able to resist her. I opened my mouth to speak but thankfully there was a knock at the door. I thanked God for helping out with a distraction. 

"Go away!" She yelled. 

Which only caused the door to be swung open immediately revealing Giana, my undead mother. "Giana!" I screamed and covered Phoebe and I with the sheet. "WHAT THE HELL!"

"Well if you were going to be indecent why wouldn't you lock the door?" She waved her hand in the air and scoffed unbothered as she still entered the room. 

"I don't have to lock doors in MY house! You should have called." I growled. "GET OUT."

"So much for keeping her away from this life." She mumbled under her breath but I heard her clearly. "Anyways. I come to help with the little situation about the meeting today. Get dressed and come downstairs." 

"No." I scoffed. "You do not run anything here and I never asked for your help nor do I need it. Now get the hell out and do not ever come to my home unannounced."

Giana was unpleased with my answer but I didn't give a f**k. How dare she just barge in here like she ran things? How dare she tell me what to do like I was some child? No. I still am getting over the shock that she is not dead. She was not about to come in here and change the way that I have been doing things all on my own. 

"I am still your mother." Giana pointed her manicured finger at me like a five year old being scolded. "You don't talk to me like that."

"Get. Out." I ordered harshly through clenched teeth. "Or I will have you throw out."

Phoebe placed her hands on my chest trying to calm me but it only made the situation worse. "WHAT. IS. THAT!" Giana pointed to the diamond that was still on Phoebe's finger. Phoebe quickly retracted her hand away, still not ready to come out of our little bubble. "You're going to marry her?"

The way she referred to Phoebe like it was a mistake. Like Phoebe wasn't worthy and the idea of us married disgusted her. When did she get a pole up her ass about Phoebe?? 

"Watch your tone or I'll cut your tongue out and feed it to you." I threatened her. 

"You said it yourself that this life is not for her! You said-"

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" I yelled. I felt Phoebe flinch by my side and pulled her in close. "You will not come in here and act like you are somebody to me. Phoebe is my everything and if you dare disrespect her again or in any way be negative towards her I'll make you wish that you had stayed away from me!" When Giana continued to stare me down like a vindictive b***h I continued. "Last warning. Get the f**k out and do not come back until you are invited!" Giana turned on her heel and slammed the door shut.
