A/N: Hello Lovelies! 25k views already! Thank you for all your love and comments. I'm at my in-laws today so I'm sure to get plenty of Nonna inspiration 😂 xxx

The past month has been one of the hardest months of my life. Molly is pretending that everything is fine. I spend all day listening to her laughing and joking with Ace and Evie, she brings in something she baked every morning, which always tastes fucking incredible, just like her. Her fruity sent travels through the shop to torment me, just like her music.

I'm trying to act normal but my head is screaming to touch her, take her, make her mine. Every day I pray Addy is going to tell me Molly is going back to Texas and my suffering will end, but it never comes.

Molly has become good friends with Scarlett so I often find her at the club after work, dancing with the girls. Luckily any man that is lucky enough to get near her is sent away, I don't know what I would do if I saw her with another man. So I have taken to staying in the strip club away from her. Yes it means I'm not drinking with Addy as much anymore, which sucks, but I have to because I can't watch her body move on that dance floor knowing I'm not allowed to touch it.

I sigh as I climb off my motorcycle on Nonnas driveway. I really need to find a way to get over Molly and forget her, there's so many reasons why nothing can ever happen between us that I need to push away my feelings.

Everything that used to clear my head has stopped working. I go running in the woods, I remember the first time I saw her. I ride my motorcycle, I imagine how it would feel to have her ride with me, to have her body wrapped around me as we ride together, happy and care free. I drink with the guys and she's there. I go and see Nonna and she won't shut up about Molly, how they listen to music together, how Molly plays for her, how Nonna is teaching her all her old recipes and they bake together. And now she's telling me to stop moping and 'get on it'

"You know how me and your grandpa met?" She asks

"Yeah, you were both teachers at the school and it was love at first sight." That's what Nonna always said

"That's true, but I missed the bit about your grandpa being ten years older and married when I met him." She chuckles

"That's not true." I roll my eyes, she's just trying to push me and Molly together

"It damn well is, your dad was conceived on my desk after school, as soon as he found out he got me pregnant he left her and we moved here to start over." She snaps "Like I said, put a ring on her finger or get her pregnant so you have to put a ring on her finger, it worked for your grandpa."

"Why did you never tell me?" I ask

"Because back in the fifties can you imagine what would've happened if it got out that I had an affair with a married man and was pregnant? We moved here and we got married quietly once his divorce was final, no one ever knew. And even after all of that your grandpa and I had nearly fifty years together. So I'm telling you all these walls you're building up are bullshit, if you feel so strongly about this amazing girl then go and get her." She says bluntly

"But Nonna..."

"But Nonna my ass. I can tell she feels exactly the same way and if anyone gets between you two I'll make them kiss my shotgun!" She yells

"You really think I should make a move for an eighteen year old girl?" I ask

"When it's so clearly meant to be I do. You've been acting different since she came around, you were happier when you two played music together and you're miserable now you're avoiding each other. Both of you are, she wants you just as much." Nonna replies.

"Nonna I wish it was as easy as you make it sound." I sigh

"Well let me say one last thing. If you're anything like me you have sixty years left on this earth. Do you want to spend them moping over what could've been or do you want to take the chance that you could be happy for those years?"

The whole time I ride my motorcycle my conversation with Nonna repeats in my head. I've never felt this way about anyone before, could Molly be the girl for me? How would things work between us? Would she stay for me? She has her aunt here. Fuck Addy, even if I can make Molly happy I'm sure Addy will still want to cut my dick off for touching her niece.

As I sit in the booth at Scars watching Molly dance with Scarlett I turn to Knuckles, we all know Scarlett was eighteen when her and Knuckles got together and they make it work

"Looks like your girls having fun." I smirk as I point towards her with my beer bottle

"She's always having fun." He smiles as he watches her

"She too lively for your old ass?" I ask, hoping that was subtle enough

"Nah, if I go up there dancing and a girl comes near me she'll only start fighting again." He chuckles

"Don't you ever worry she'll get tired of your old ass?" I ask

"Nah, she keeps me young and I stop her from doing stupid shit." He laughs "Besides I didn't know she was eighteen when I fell for her, so I don't give a fuck that she's young."

I didn't know Molly was eighteen the first time I kissed her, if Scarlett can be happy with Knuckles could Molly be happy with me? Just because I want to settle down doesn't mean I'd be boring, she could still spend her nights partying here, only I could be dancing with her, she could be sitting on my lap like the other old ladies do. Shit am I thinking about her being my old lady already? I've barely even kissed her.

Fuck it. I know there's a lot of reasons I should stay away but I want her, we could be good for each other. I'm gonna go for it.
