" Camille you getting in the water," Brandi asks.
" Yeah give me a minute," I say getting up out of the lawn chair. I look around at the private beach that Gio's family owns it was breathtaking. It would be a better view if Gio and the guys were here.
" Let's get in the water prego," I say.
" Could you be any louder," Tisha says getting up. We walk to the ocean
" What do you think they are doing" she asks.
I shrug my shoulders it's been two weeks since we've started vacation. Most of the time Gio, Michael, Trey, Dom and Danny's has been working. We swim around for a little bit " what time is the appointment tomorrow," Tisha asks
" 12," I say looking at her.
She gained a little weight and has been eating a lot and her mood swings are all over the place.
" Okay," she says I swim over to her.
" Tisha don't be nervous. You're going to be a great mom," I say.
" I know," she said busting out in tears where's Angle when you need him I thought pulling Tisha into a hug and rubbing her back.
" Is she okay," Brandi said coming over to us.
" She's fine, I just need to sit her down," I said waving her off. After a few minutes Tisha composed herself then we swam back to the beach.
" What are we doing tonight," I ask Mrs. Lilly and Victoria.
" I'm thinking going out for dinner tonight," Victoria says I sit next to Tiffany.
" That sounds good I haven't been out that much since we've been here," I say.
Victoria had a guilty look on her face but when I look over at Mrs. Lilly you could tell she had years to perfect her stone face.
"I'll tell Gio he needs to start letting you see this beautiful city," Mrs. Lilly said. I shake my head leaning back in the chair. After a few more hours we leave heading back to the mansion.
As everyone getting out of the car Tiffany turns to me " does Angel know," she asks.
I look over at Tisha sleeping with her mouth open " no." I say.
" She better tell him soon before someone else does," she says.
I shake my head I knew one of them would notice her change in appetite and mood. I shake Tisha awake " we going out tonight hurry up," I say getting out of the car.
" Where are we going?" she asked.
" Somewhere for dinner," I say walking into the living room to see all the guys. Tisha runs straight to Angel.
" Hey," Gio said hugging me.
" Hey," I say back. He pulls me to the couch with him.
" How was your day at the beach," he asks cuddling me.
" It was nice it would have been better if you were there," I said.
" I know just had to finish the last bit of work," he said.
" So you'll have time to spend with me," I ask looking in his face he starts laughing.
" Yes baby," he said then kiss me neck.
" What's for dinner," Trey asks standing in the center of the living room.
" We're going out for dinner so everyone get the dressed to slay," Victoria says making everyone laugh.
" Who taught you that," Gio asks sitting up.
" Brandi did," she says.
" Tell your sister to stop teaching my mother slang," Gio says looking at me.
" Don't look at me," I say laughing for a couple more minutes we sit and talk before we go our separate ways.
" How was work," I asked walking into our room.
" It's the same people can't get s**t right," he says taking a seat on the bed. I walk in between his legs wrapping my arms around his neck
.
" Well, I hope the rest of the trip gets better for you," I say.
" It will," he said smashing his lip on mines when someone knocks on the door.
Gio breaks apart " yes," he says then the door opens.
" Mr. Ricci there's a phone call for you in the study," one of the maids say.
" I'll be down," he said she close the door.
" I thought all your business was done," I say folding my arms.
" It's just my assistant calling to verify something that's all," he said I side-eye him.
" That better be it," I said backing away from him.
" That is the only calls I'll take," he said. He gets up pulling me to him " I'll be back," he said then kissed me. After a few seconds I pull away " go" I say sitting on the bed. He walks out of the room closing the door I grab my phone going through f*******: seeing that Tammy keeps messaging me. What does she want I thought then keep going through my f*******: feed.
Giovanni
"Hello," I say putting the phone on speaker.
" Boss we haven't located Lorenzo and Jabari yet," Dom said.
I shake my head " they need to stay in the wind for now. Rossi is going to have the tight security now so even if they try again they'll end up dead" I say.
" Yeah but we don't want a war in our hands," papa said I sit on top of the desk.
"I need for them to be found and brought here. Do whatever needs to be done," I say.
" I'll send more people out," Danny said pulling out his phone.
" Make sure you have eyes on the hospital," I say.
" I'll check on their regular hideouts," Dom said.
"Okay," I say then hang up.
" Trey make sure Mille's have extra-tight security," I say.
" Will do," he said before leaving.
I look over at papa " what do you think" I ask.
" You need to find them before they cause more of a mess," he said.
I get up off the desk " let's get ready for dinner," I say walking towards the door. I walk into the living room to see mama and nonna.
" How are two of my favorite ladies," I ask. " Good but the most important one isn't having a good time on vacation," mama said.
" You need to take her out and explore," nonna said.
" I will," I say kissing both of them on the cheek. I go upstairs to get stopped by Angle.
"There is something off about Tisha," he says.
" Like what, "I ask." She's moodier than before but she won't tell me what's the problem," he said.
" When she's ready she'll tell you just be patient," I say patting his back.
I walk past him going to my room when my phone rings. I pull it out of my pocket seeing that a private number is calling.
Who got this number I thought answering it.
" Hello," I say. " Good to hear your voice cugino," Lorenzo said.
" Where are you, "I ask. " It got a little hot so I'm just laying low for now," he says.
" You and Jabari need to be under my protection," I say. He starts laughing " you must take me for a fool," he said.
" No, I take you for a smart man that knows when to back away from a situation," I say.
He laughs again " Gio have faith in me. I'll finish what I have started," he said then hung up.
" f**k," I say looking at my phone. I call Dom a few seconds go by.
" Boss," he answers.
" They need to be found asap. Lorenzo has plans to finish Romeo off" I say.
" I'll have men looking day and night," he said.
" Okay," I said walking down the hall opening the door to my room. I plop on the bed thinking about the conversation I just had.
" What's wrong," Camille asks crawling over the bed.
" I just got some bad news from work," I say. She put her arms around my neck " it will be okay. You just need a break," she said.
" Probably do but I also heard that someone wasn't having a good time," I say. Camille gets off the bed standing in front of me.
" hanging with your mom and grandma is fun. But I would like to spend time with you more," she says".
" We will I'll have a whole day of us going sightseeing tomorrow," I say.
