Chapter 188: Lucas Nunzio

River POV

Carter pulls the car up to the massive gate. I gasp my heart thumps in my throat.

Annie takes my hand, she looks at me scared now "It's okay Bunny. We're almost to auntie Flame's house" I smile at her kissing her hand.

Carter drives up the driveway to the house. It's huge and I can't look at all of it at once.

My mouth is still hanging open when I open the door and get out. It's beautiful there's a huge waterfall feature on one side and a huge pond with fish and some small fountain type features on the other. There's some wide stairs leading up to a door. The house is tall and it's so big it stretches around on both sides off the driveway.

I'm still standing in awe as I lift Annie to my hip and grab her little backpack. Carter grabs my backpack and Annie's still packed small pink and purple suitcase.

I start up the stairs as the door flys open and Flame rushes out.

She runs down the stairs to me as I hurry with Annie in my arms up the stairs to her.

We both hug smashing Annie between us "I've missed you so much." I say almost in tears.

"I kissed you too" she says holding me tight.

"I smushed" Annie whines out.

We both pull back "Sorry baby" Flame says kissing her head "I missed you Annie Bear"

"Mommy and Annie come sleep here?" She says to Flame smiling.

"Yes we are going to have a girl's night. Just us girls no smelly boys" Flame says booping her nose.

"My daddy a boy and him don't stink. Him smells good" she says her face all scrunched up looking at Flame with her "mad" face.

I laugh "Your right bunny daddy does smell good" she laughs and sticks her tongue at Flame.

"Who taught you that?" Flame asks when she sticks her tongue at her again "Uncle Brain show me and he does it at daddy and we laugh" she says all excited and laughing her little mischief laugh.

"Of course he did" Flame says laughing.

She looks at me and takes my hand.

"I'm really happy he finally told you. I'm sorry I didn't tell you when I found out." She looks at me sadly. I can see the guilt and sadness in her eyes and face.

"I know why you didn't and I forgive you. If I was in your same position and Finn or Pickle asked me to keep a secret I wouldn't have betray them either." I squeeze her hand "I'm so glad your back"

We are walking across the biggest foyer I've ever seen in my life when a man's voice echos through the area. I jump a little, making Annie  grab my arm tightly as she squeezes herself to me.

"Papi" Flame says running to him and hugging him. She takes his hand and brings him over to us.

As he gets closer I notice how handsome he is. He's wearing a nice suit it's a dark blue color. It fits him well, he's very built you can see his muscles through his shirt. He has golden amber eyes like Denalii. I can see where Denalii gets his looks from, their dad is hot! I blush as he notices me staring at him.

"Papi this is River" Flame say when their next to us.

I smile and stick out my hand "It's nice to meet you Mr Nunzio." I smile as he takes my hand and shakes it. He finally smiles at me "Oh River, it's nice to finally meet you. I've heard about you from both my children" He says kissing my hand before letting go and looking slightly at Flame for a minute.

"Who's this beautiful young lady" he says smiling at Annie.

Annie giggles and looks at me for reassurance, I nod at her and smile as she says "Annie"

"Annie you want to see some magic?" He says smiling at her.

She laughs and nods her head. He tells us we have to go stand by the stairs first. After the three of us are standing where he said he goes and stands in the middle of the floor.

"Okay now this part is very important" he says looking at Annie who's now standing on the side of me holding my hand.

"When I point at you I want you to yell green" she nods at him. He quickly points at her and she yells "Green" as loud as she can "Okay perfect, I think your ready" he pushes a button on the wall and the lights start blinking in a series of three fast blinks then only one light blinks. He points at Annie and she yells "green" and the whole room goes dark then when they come back up a second later there's four men standing there with him. They are all dressed in black and standing with their hands to their sides. They stand so still, it's a little creepy.

He points at Annie and she yells "green" again and the lights blink and go dark. Then they come back on and now there is 6 men standing around him. She claps "They look like daddy" she says pointing at them giggling. She's right Lucky was wearing almost the same thing they are minus the gun straps.

"Okay Miss Annie this time when I point I want you to yell Red okay"

"Okay" she yells excited.

He says something to the men in a different language which I recognize as Italian.

Then he smiles at Annie and points to her "Red" she yells and the light go out and then flash and come back on and all the men are gone.

Annie gasps in surprise and then claps her little hands. I'm amazed they moved in and out without any sound and this area echo pretty bad.

He walks back to us and boops Annie's nose like Flame does and smiles at us.

"Okay Miss Annie while your here if you get scared or mommy tells you to you just yell your magic word green and the men will come and help you okay" he smiles at her and looks at me for a minute.

"Here's a pretty bracelet for you to wear. It's very special so you have to keep it on always okay" she nods at him.

"Look mommy it has a bunny on it. Look mommy" she's giggling as she looks at it.

It's beautiful it's like a white gold and a twist design with a little bunnies on it. The bunnies are spaced by the beautiful twist design all around.

"It's beautiful" I say looking at it "Thank you Mr Nunzio. It's really beautiful"

"Call me Lucas and it's a very special bracelet and it can come in handy in case of a emergency." He says winking at me.

I nod and smile at him "Thank you Lucas" I say with a smile.
