CHAPTER 24

Last night after alot of persuasion, Nick

dropped me home. He kept asking me to stay and I kept telling him i have to go into work early. I had to give so many kisses and it made me feel so wanted. Elated.

I did tell him that im working late again, and i felt bad for lying, but its so i can surprise him at lunch.

Right now, im getting ready for work. I decide on this bright pink, floral two piece that ive been wanting to wear and just simple white block heels. I put some waves in my hair and do a little makeup. I love how my moms necklace goes with everything.

Once im done I walk out and take a cab to the bakery. I open up and start on a few things, also Auty's cake.

Im making a chocolate fudge cake with italian ganache frosting and im going to pipe on white flowers, So white petals and a maybe a silver sugar ball for the middle.

Im also going to buy her Jasmine flowers i hope she likes them. They're actually my favourite and one time i took them to her house, and she loved them so much and now they're both our favourite.

While im working, i decide that its late enough and i call her.

"Buon Giorno, dolcezza, how are you darling?" i hear her sweet voice making me smile.

"Buon Giorno, im ok, Happy birthday!" i say cheerily and she laughs.

"Oh thankyou love, youre too kind" she says. We catch up about random things but now i have to whip the chocolate ganache so i had to leave.

"Aunty, i have to use the mixer, ill see you later?" not so late though hehe.

"Wont you come to see the old woman soon?" i giggle

"Please, you get more work done then i ever could, and ofcourse, ill see you real soon." i say. We say our byes and i continue working.

Its 12 pm and Alaia sent a car to get me. I walk outside and sit in car, thanking the driver.

The cake turned out cute and im happy with it.

Once we reach, I thank the kind man again and walk in to see Stephano. He whistles at me.

"Damnnn" he drags out, i roll my eyes.

"Stop, where is Alaia" i ask.

"She's in the kitchen hot stuff" he winks. I know he's kidding cuz literally he gagged at the thought of me and him once.

"Stop you perv" i say walking to the kitchen. "hiii" i sing as i walk in.

"hii"

"Where is my baby" i ask her. She giggles.

"He's down for a nap, make the food you promised then ill let you change him" she says. I squeal and start on my lasagna.

Its almost two and im all done, Ms. Bianca is making some cream salad and Laia is making cheesy garlic bread.

"You look beautiful darling" Ms. Bianca says. I smile at her. I hear the baby monitor and Alaia turns to me with hands full of cheese.

"Ill get him" i say to her.

"Thankyou, i dont know what he's wearing so you can pick something out" she says winking at me. I squeal making ms. Bianca chuckle.

I run up to Gray's room and find him in his crib whining. I pick him up and gently rock him. After he calms down, i check if he needs a diaper change, and he does, so i change him, then pick him up and into his little closet.

"Grayson, what do you wanna wear hmm?" i coo at him. He just babbles and tries to say something. I think he's getting closer to the speaking thing, he really tries to repeat the words.

I decide to put him in a short, incredibly adorable romper with little mickey mouse faces all over it, and these ridiculous white sneaker. They are SO TINY.

His outfit actually matches his deep blue eyes, he looks so cute. I put him in his bouncer and fix my hair, i take him downstairs to Zia Shaina, and go back up to clean the mess I made.

Once Graysons room is clean, i walk out of his door bump into someone and almost fall on my butt. But a strong, hard arm wraps around me, preventing it.
