A Love Restored

Chapter 126

The first time I did the walk of shane, it had been through a dorm full of horny college boys, trying to hide fin my best deferul..

Pretty normal.

The second time I’m doing the wal

walk of shame is though a large penthouse apartment with m people that have been posted as bus security.

It doesn’t happen.

I run into Julian’s housekeeper. She skinny Italian woman wall s

start hair lighlighted.

“Hi” She says in confusion. “Can i get you something?

Fuck this shit. I know her, I’ve seen her around. I’m pretty damn sure she knows my father. Holy shit, everyone is going to know I had sex with the Capo Bastone. Gossip Travels Last, especially of this kind. Worse, everyone is going to know we had a “our si

I don’t answer. I just nin. Straight out of his apartment, past his secuity guard, and get into my cals

I love Julian. I had sex with him. I wish I remembered it. We’re never ever going to be so close again in life. And I have completely no menuaties of something I have wanted for so long. I will want to relive the memory. I will want to think of his akin tuuhing mine when I’m lonely. When he’ll get married, 111 think of having had him all toy myself oner in my life.

I wish and wish and wish to rementhet.

I’m stupid. I never should have drank so much, I don’t even remember how I got into bed with him, much less the sex. Hy the way is feeling, and the ahill ache between my legs, I can just tell it was great.

And shit, Nico! What would I tell him? And did he know? Who else ko? Did people see one leave with him?

I don’t go to my home, rather I go straight to the tattoo parlout, Luckily, I always keep a change of clothes there, so I put on my blue jeans and my white t shirt with ink stains and sit down in chair, acting totally normal.

The bell above the door chimes and in walks my brother, Gabriel,

“Geez, Ginnie. Where did you disappear?

I gulp. “I was with Nico,”

“No, you weren’t. He was looking all over for you. You just disappeared from your party. You were dancing with Capo Bastone and then…….. Oh.”

My brother looks dumbstruck.

“What oh?” I roll my eyes, “If you think I hooked up with Capo Bastone, you are wrong, brother dearest,”

“Yeah,” he scratches his head, “that would be weird. Then why were you dancing with his like that? You were basically doing the diggity do. Coss

“It wasn’t weird.“ 1 look down at my hands. I can’t bear to theet eyes with him. I think if I looked at him, Isl vondt all this informations sust

Gabriel frowns. He’s not on the particularly intelligent side.

“Yeah, whatever. I have a complicated tatton appointment, today. This girl wants a mermaid on her hip bone going down to her paxy

are. Not judging, but I wouldn’t ever get a tattoo like that.

“Dude,” he sighs, “you have one latton on you. You arent gelling any. Trust me

Gabriel shrugs – “Sure, sis. Also, Hemi Ajax wanted to take you to breakfast,”

I haven 1 even brushed my facking teeth. Nonetheless, I nadl

When I walk into the tattoo shop. Vin is already there, with his sister.

“Ciao, Vin.” I smile. “Ready for your tattoo

He nods, and I direct him to a chair when considering he seems like he works i

he sits and takes off his shirt. I’m supposed to draw a black rose on his shoulder blade. It’s tough work,

shoulder is kind of edgy. But I’ve done so many of these rose tattoos, its like second nature to me,

In the end, the tattoo turns out pretty nice. He pays me – a dollar, and leaves. We only take a symbolic one dollar for mafia tattoos. Everyone in the family holds their tattoos with pride, and getting payment for a thing we consider so sacred would be a sim

My phone buzzes just as I’m cleaning the area I had been working

“Did you fucking sleep with Dante?” He yells.

It’s Nico, and I take a deep breath before picking up

Fuck.

I flinch. “No. I didn’t”

“Jesus fucking Christ, Ginnie. Please don’t lie. It’s all everyone’s been talking about. Apparently, you snack out of his fucking apartment.”

“So? God, Nico, why are you yelling at me? We had both had some drinks. He took me home. We had sex. I left. Isn’t that normal protocol?”

“That’s the point.” Nico says. “He took you home. He never takes girls home. He fucks them at the Central and then he leaves. Everyone is talking

alking about this. Do you have any idea how many people have called me asking about you?”

Oh.

_____ “Nico,” I sigh. “He didn’t want me to stay. Trust me.”

Nico is breathing heavily. I have no idea why he is pissed. “Just promise me you’re never going to do that again.” He says. “Promise me you won’t even speak to him.”

I wasn’t planning to. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t. Its not like Julian would want to. I was just a random bay for him. He probably does this all the time. No, I know he does this all the time.

“I won’t. Fine. I promise. God”

I roll my eyes, and I’m going to say something. But Nico has already hung up.
