I literally saw unicorns and stars passing by. That's how hard her grip was on my hair.
"It's enough now, you two!" I grabbed Amari and placed her on my lap while massaging my scalp. "It's time to go take a shower. Aren't you supposed to be somewhere Marco?"
Marco was dressed very formal. He wore his business suit so that means he needs to be somewhere. I don't think he would make breakfast for us dressed in a business suit. And if he did... well then, that would be a whole new level of being extra.
"Yeah, I need to be at work at...," He looked at his watch and frowned. "Right now." He stood up, straightened his suit and placed all the empty and dirty bowls and cups on the tray. He then turned to us and placed a kiss on both, my and Amari's forehead.
My body tensed when he did that. It felt so right yet wrong. I want to run towards him, yet stay away. I want to be strong and nonchalant but I cannot be.
I want him. I miss him so goddamn much. Despite what he had done, I still love him as much as I did in the beginning. And that was since the day in Milan. Since the one night stand.
"See you laters girls."
I snapped out of my trance and saw that Marco was almost at the door. "Marco!" I called out. He turned around and looked at me with raising eyebrows. "Yes?"
I gulped and took a deep breath. I thought so long about this. It's the right thing to do. For me, Amari, and our future. Sometimes I just have to take a chance. And right now, I'm going to do it.
"I...uhmm, I thought about it and..." I bit my bottom lip to stop it from quivering. "I want to give us another chance."
Marco Vasilios P.O.V
I cannot believe it ! Fuck, finally ! I don't think I could live another day without my girls. The happiness I felt when she said that she wants to give us a chance. Damn, it was indescribable. I immediately ran towards her and hugged her tightly. She stiffened when I did that, but relaxed afterwards. It felt so weird yet amazing to hold her after so long. I forgot how perfectly she fitted in my arms.
My queen.
"Your smile is creepy. Stop it man!" Rodrigo snapped me out of my thoughts. His hair was disheveled when he arrived here, probably because he did a quickie with Ximmy. Gross if I think about it. "Care to explain why you invited me to have coffee with you? Did you close another deal?"
I usually invited Rodrigo to have coffee or dinner with me when I close another successful business deal, but this time it was something more important than that.
"Jillian is giving me another chance." I said casually, but inside I was jumping in joy. I couldn't help but smile a little when I said that. I felt like a hormonal teenage boy who just talked to his crush.
"You're not serious." Rodrigo stared at me wide-eyed. He was also surprised.
"Dead serious."
"Lucky asshole." Rodrigo muttered underneath his breath, but I could hear the relieve in his voice. When Jillian left me, he saw the condition I was in. I know how worried he was, but he never showed it. Instead he punched me in the face and called me names that I definitely deserved."Be thankful that Jillian is so soft hearted. You would have never got another chance if she was another female."
I nodded in agreement. That's so true. I should never take Jillian for granted. She's an angel from heaven. I'm pretty sure that any other girl would have never forgive me. I mean who would forgive a cheater? Someone who has a big fucking heart. "I'm not gonna mess it up this time. It's a promise. I'm going to keep her happy until my last breath."
"Good." Rodrigo took a sip of his coffee. "Because I'm not going to spare your face this time."
I gave him the finger and he laughed loudly. "I mean it. Don't think that because I'm your brother-in-law I'm going to spare you."
"I got the warning. Chill that ass down."
The rest of the afternoon we spent talking about our business and the people we work with. Rodrigo wanted to start a business in Greece, but I told him about the disadvantages about starting a business in Greece. Since I'm more experienced, he took my advice and said that he would think about it and discuss it with the rest of the team.
Tonight I promised Jillian and Amari that I would take them out. Have fun, like a normal family. What I didn't tell them was the surprise I had planned for them. Nothing big. Just a trip to another country.
Now that Jillian finally gave me a chance, it was time to prove to her that I would make a great dad and husband. I know it's too early to think about that, but it's progress. I want my girls happy and smiling as long as I'm in their lives.
I couldn't wait for them to see the place I had rented for them. It was so beautiful with a big backyard, something me nor Jillian had in New York. I was contemplating on inviting Aunt Lydia and Milan, but Jillian told me that Aunt Lydia needed time to accept me back in the family.
I couldn't blame the woman, I screwed up. I do miss Milan though, I haven't seen him in so long. I wonder if he still remembers me. I can't wait to meet up with him again.
I dialed Jillian's number and when she picked up I asked; "Are my girls ready?"
I heard her sigh. "Yes, but can you please give us a hint except packing our suitcases?"
"You will see, pudding." I said chuckling. "My driver is going to pick you up. I'll see you in a bit."
I ended the call and walked inside the plane to see if everything was ready. I was actually supposed to pick my girls up. But I figured that the entire ride they would question me about the destination we were going. And since it's hard to keep secrets from them I gave orders to my driver to pick them up.
"Is everything ready?" I asked the new Flight attendant, Theo. He nodded his head. "Yes, sir. We're ready to leave."
"Good, if my girls arrive bring them to me. You know where to find me."
He nodded his head like a good schoolboy. "Yes, sir."
