Chapter 271
John
Fuck, Cat was crying and I understand where she’s coming from this last week with her had made it clear that I love her to, but now with her saying she can just as well loose everything if she didn’t have us because she loved us made me think maybe I should tell her I love her to but will that put more pressure on her. “I’m going to go to the room and freshen up I don’t want to look like this when the others come.” I got up and the words wanted to slipped out of my mouth but I held back because I need to speak to Enzo, we need to do what is best for her. When we searched for her, it was all about us, getting the real heir to get Marchetti off his crown but things have changed dramatically. “Okay love take your time.” She got up but before she left the room, Enzo got up and gave her a hug then I pulled her to me for a hug. I walked her to the office door and watched as she took the stairs. As soon as she was out of sight I turned to Enzo and asked
“What the fuck are we going to do. I love her Enzo; I really and truly love her.” “I’m in the same bout John, I love her to, I don’t know what it is about her, she brings calmness to my storms. I’m embarrassed to say this, but I slept in her bed this whole week until Aria changed the bedding, just her smell calms me.” “Fuck it sounds like you got it worse than I do.” I told Enzo but I was lying I would have probable slept in her bed to. “So, what do we do do we tell her we love her that she knows she’s not alone or will that put more pressure on the week with Nico.” “Fuck I wish I knew what to say John, for the first time in my life I’m in a situation I have no idea how to handle. I’m struggling with telling her about the house for the 5 of us because I’m afraid that will put pressure on her as well and I don’t want that but I also don’t want her to think that we won’t hurt if things doesn’t work out, I think she thinks she’s alone in loving us but she’s not.” Enzo said. “Loving who?” Frank asked from the door. “You early.” I told him. “Well clearly you weren’t expecting me, where is Cat?” She went to freshen up. “Can I go and say hi to her?” “I don’t think that is a good idea not before you heard what happened.”
Frank
I was early to John’s house I wanted to see Cat, I mean it was almost 6 days I last saw her and I needed to see her I needed to hold her in my arms just for a few seconds. But when I walked into John’s office, I was not the only one that was early Enzo was clearly here for a while and now they are talking about someone loving us, could that be Cat loving us. But when I asked if I could go and say hi and both of them said no, I should first hear what happened I was already ready to fight someone.
“What’s going on?” I asked both of them. “Take a seat.” “I’ll stand thank you, what did you do to Cat?” I looked straight at John. “I didn’t do anything to her John in fact I’m struggling with myself because she just admitted to both Enzo and I that she has fallen for the three of us and if she can’t have us in her life, she doesn’t see any reason to go on.” “No, she did not?” “She did I wanted to tell her I love her back but I’m afraid it will put too much pressure on her with Nico this week.” “Fuck” I almost screamed “I take it you feel the same as me and Enzo?” “You love her to.” I asked Enzo “Yes I can’t imagine my life without her.” “When will Nico be here?” “When you should have been.” “So, we have say an hour and a half because he will be a half hour early. Let’s talk about this.”
“About what Frank we always said it’s the 4 of us or none of us.” Enzo said “What was Cat’s exact words?” She said “If she had to be totally honest with the two of us, she had fallen in love with both of us and you and her heart will be in pieces if she can’t have us in her life anymore. It would be like another family has been ripped from her.” “And you still think it should be the 4 of us or none of us, me for one thinks if things don’t work with Nico, we go on without him.” “We can’t we do business together our lives are so intertwined.” Enzo said. “Enzo to be truly honest with you I would throw everyone of you under the bus to have her in my life to tell her I love her to hold her every single day. I would give up anything and everything for her.” Both John and Enzo got quiet and walked around in John’s office clearly thinking. John was the first to say “I agree with Frank I would do anything for her and if you don’t want to marry her and take her surname, I would find a way to get my parents to accept it.” Enzo was quick to step in “Oh no if someone is marrying her it’s me no one else I will take the Capone name and I will be the boss of the Chicago Ring.” That took me a bit off guard did he only want to be the boss or did he really love her. “Honest to God Enzo, do you love her or do you love her surname?” “Fuck you Frank how dare you ask me such a question? I love her more than I love myself I love her so much I will go with this plan of yours and send Nico packing if it doesn’t work.” “So, what do you guys think should we get clean with her and tell her that we love her and that you are willing to marry her Enzo?” I asked them. “For some reason I think it would take the pressure of her if she knew we will still be here for her even though it didn’t work with Nico but we would prefer it did work, we should make that clear to her.” “I think we should tell her yes.” John said. “Tell me what?” Cat asked as she walked into the room.
