587 Warm Your Bed
“Jesus Christ, what are you doing, Dad?!” Mimi walked in on her father stepping in front of Victor with his rifle by his side and she immediately got in between them, shielding Victor from him. Would her father really have shot Victor if she were a minute late?
She glared at her father, “What is this for? I thought you were cool with the pregnancy? You and Mom even said you have been waiting for me to continue the family line. Why are you doing this now?” She assumed it was about the pregnancy.
However, when her father looked at Victor questioningly, and he nodded back at him, Mimi sensed something was going on and she had no idea.
“When I wanted you to get pregnant, it was to a normal guy from a comfortable background, not to Victor from the Luciano crime Family.” Her father revealed and Mimi’s eyes widened.
“You knew?” She was stunned.
“I am a businessman Mimi and I have seen and heard things. There is nothing that is hidden under the sun,” Her father shook his head, hanging his rifle back on the wall where it belonged.
He said, “You disappoint me, daughter,”
There was a lump in Mimi’s throat and her eyes watered when she heard those words. Her father has always loved and praised her until now. No wonder he wanted to shoot Victor.
But amid the emotion clogging her throat, Mimi still managed to defend Victor, “It happened that way, Pa, nor do we have control over who we love.”
.....
“I know,” Roger nodded, staring at his daughter, “Which is why I’m giving you my blessings.”
Mimi gasped when she heard those words. Was he serious like now? She felt like he was pulling her leg or something.
“Tell me you’re not kidding?”
“I would do everything to keep my daughter happy. Come here,” The man spread his arms wide and Mimi ran into it, hugging him tightly.
She was so happy right now and was grateful to have a father like him. Mimi couldn’t help it but tears ran down her eyes as she muttered,
“Thank you. Thank you so much, father.”
“Anything for my baby girl.” Roger patted her back, squeezing his eyes close with emotion. It was so sad that his little girl was all grown up and would be paving her own life soon.
Father and daughter relished that moment, and it was just the both of them until Victor joined in. He wrapped his arm around the both of them in a bear hug and Roger sighed, yet let him be.
The lad was a weird one.
But he was honest. And the man still found it hard to believe that he was the Enforcer. Well, Victor was family now and a family who hugs together, loves together.
It wasn’t until they heard the sound of a camera shutter go off that they broke apart only to see that it was Hannah taking a picture of them together.
“I should have known you all were having fun without me,” Hannah turned her phone and teased them with the picture.
Mimi, Victor, and Roger, all there stared at each other, communicating secretly, her mother can’t know the truth about the Luciano family, yet. They all came to an agreement wordlessly.
“Sorry, Hannah, I would bond with you now,” Victor said, walking over to the woman and hooked his arm around her.
“Selfie time!” He hollered, positioning the camera so they both could be captured well.
Victor took tons of pictures with the woman not just in the hunting room, but all around the house. According to him, they needed to make a whole lot of memories so he wouldn’t be missed when he leaves the next day and as well, prove to his mother that he has bonded with his wife’s family.
Well, Hannah realized late that she was on a date with the Tasmanian Devil because, by the time they were done, she was so tired that Mimi had to be the one to escort her back to her room.
“Jesus, that boy has a lot of energy, I can already imagine your unborn son would be a handful,” Hannah chuckled at the thought.
“Why a boy? I love girls,” Mimi pouted.
“When you see a dominant gene, you’d know. It’s a boy.” The woman assured her.
“It’s not.”
“It is. Trust your mother.”
Seeing that she couldn’t argue with her, Mimi let her have the last word. There was no proof of what she said anyway and she honestly doesn’t care about the baby’s gender. Her child is loved and that’s all.
It was late already, so her mother could sleep right away. It was a good thing Victor tired her out, so the both of them could spend time together before going to bed.
“Goodnight mom,” Mimi kissed her on the forehead after tucking her in.
“Goodnight, my little Miracle,” She pecked her back and Mimi smiled at her calling her full name.
Hannah added, “Tell your father he should leave my wonderful son-in-law alone and come to bed right away.”
“Aye, captain,” She saluted her and left to relay the message.
However, when Mimi came down, the both of them were busy discussing business and Victor was giving her father pointers. Mimi had always hated her father’s business talks because it was boring as well and made her dizzy especially when they involved numbers, but watching Victor talk made it kind of interesting. So she just leaned against the wall, watching them, who was she kidding?
She was watching Victor.
Mimi noted his features; his thick brows and how they arched whenever he made a point; his gray eyes that glinted with the topic at hand; that pointed nose and finally his lips, the sexy shape of it, and how they moved whenever he talked.
Well, he was a fine wine, and perhaps, spending the rest of her life with him wouldn’t be so bad.
“Dad, mom, wants you upstairs,” Mimi intentionally interrupted them.
“Oh, I didn’t know,” Roger didn’t think much and stood to his feet.
Mimi watched as they said a few more words and he finally left.
Amen!
With everyone gone, Mimi strutted over to Victor sexily. Standing in front of him, she announced, “It’s bedtime.”
Victor smirked knowingly,
“Do you want me to warm your bed, Madam?”
