The next day.
RUSSO EL MASSIMO
"Wake up sleepy head, it's way past 10am" I pulled the curtains open a loud grumble in protest came from Caramia.
She pulled the sheets over her head. I walked over to the bed and sat by her side.
"Hey, get up and eat something before you go back to sleep. You must be starving since you ate nothing last night"
"I am still sleepy and I am not that hungry" she grumbled.
"I know my cock fills you up very well, Cara but you still need food"
She threw the sheets off her head and her face had gone red with a cute blush.
"How... How can you say that so early in the morning? Ah, you are the naughtiest person to ever walk the surface of earth"
I chuckled.
"I would have been the naughtiest person but then your parents gave birth to you..." I reached for her cheek and gave it a soft pull that made her pout cutely.
"I still can't beat you at it" she mumbled.
"I made breakfast." I changed the topic, getting back on my feet.
"Tell me, Russo. What exactly can't you do? You can't be... An all rounder, right?"
"What? You are surprised at how perfect I am?" I asked her and she shrugged lightly.
"Perhaps. You are.... Hot and sexy, sweet at times, wealthy and yet you know how to cook. Aren't you the perfect man- husband in every lady's list?" She asked.
"Including your list?" The question came too naturally.
"I... Not in my list." She replied and a small frown creased my face.
"And what could I do that would make me fit into your list?" I didn't know why I was asking that. It's not like I was ever going to try to be a husband to any woman, not to talk of to Caramia.
"You could never because first off, you are my uncle so... Yeah, like you can never fit in the list" she replied, getting up on the bed.
"Well, we aren't actually blood related." I moved closer to her and bent over to have my face close to hers.
"I was adopted and that's not a secret to you so I don't think you can disqualify me from being in your list for that. It is invalid, tell me something else that disqualifies me from your list... Or is there none anymore?." I watched as her face reddened even more and she gulped down hard.
"What are you talking about?" She tried easing the tension that had suddenly grown in the air with light chuckles.
I pulled away from her and shoved both hands into my pockets. Caramia got out of bed and rushed over towards the bathroom but soon stopped in her tracks and hurried over back to me.
"Bend over a bit" she bided me and with an arch on my brows, I did so and she kissed my cheek.
"Good morning, Russo" she smiled at me before scurrying off into the bathroom, leaving me almost dazed with that cheek kiss.
"Ah fuck, Russo" I whispered to myself and settled myself into the couch.
Today was a Sunday and I didn't have anything planned for the day so I was just going to stay home with Caramia the entire day.

"I don't want to watch a movie about politics, please" Caramia grumbled.
We were now in the in house private cinema to while away time by watching a movie according to Caramia's suggestion.
"It's interesting. A lot of plot twists." I argued.
"No, I want to watch a movie on romance." She insisted.
"It's always the same damned plot, Cara. Let's not waste time on that"
"Oh, I see? My likes are time wasting?"
"Cara, I didn't... Fine. You choose, we'll watch." I gave in and an excited squeal left her lips.
I watched as she finally picked a movie for us to watch.
"This is a very interesting one, I have seen it before." she said with huge smiles on her face.
Fuck, she was adorable. I mean, I have always known Caramia was damn sexy and hot but she was also fucking sweet. The same lips that would part to take my cock in was the same lips that was smiling almost innocently right now.
"Russo, don't stare at me, look at the screen" she tapped my arm and I tore my gaze off her to look at the screen.
"What's going on in the movie?" I grabbed some popcorn in my hand. I actually didn't fucking care what was going on in the movie but I suddenly wanted to hear Rosaline talk on and on.
"The main characters are best friends. Platonic, they say" she laughed.
"But he actually likes her a lot but she doesn't see it. At a point while watching the movie, I was yelling at her to see clearly just how much her best friend was in love with her. His love for her is so..."
"The same way I want to yell at you to see that Rick isn't just with you for the damned friendship" I cut her off and she gave me a glare.
"I have told you several times. Rick is really not interested in me..."
It was at the same time that the female lead in the movie chose to say the same words.
"Look, that's what she just said too" I pointed out.
"Hers is different."
"Who did you first watch this movie with?" I found it necessary to ask.
"Rick" was her response and my jaw clenched. The bastard was trying to let her know his feelings.
"Let's just enjoy the movie" she grabbed my arm and gave it a small rub that kind of eased me a little.
"Right. Let's just enjoy the movie, a bullet shouldn't be a bother"
"A... A bullet? Are you threatening to get rid of Rick again?" She asked, a pout on her face.
"I have had enough of his name being mentioned today, Caramia. Let's drop the topic and change this movie to another." I concluded but it was at that time that her phone chose to ring.
She grabbed her phone, picking up the call before I could see the caller Id.
"Hey Rick?"
Yeah, Rick. Again.
I grabbed the phone from Caramia.
"Calling the manager on a Sunday? Office romance is strictly forbidden, Rick."
"Russo, give me the phone."
"A little extra information for you. When people offend me, I don't beat around the bush, I prefer killing them. Be careful not to offend me, Rick."
I ended the call and Caramia grabbed the phone from me.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" She yelled at me, getting up and standing in front of me. Both hands went to her waist as her eyes shone with fury.
"Rick is a good guy! And even if he has feelings for me which he doesn't! That still doesn't change the fact that he is a nice guy and he is my best friend!"
I watched as she rambled some angry words, her chest heaving with heavy breaths. Angry words that I couldn't hear anymore.
I grabbed her hand and pulled her to crash into my laps.
"Cara" I moved a hand to her face and caressed her face gently before moving to her lower lip.
"Kiss me" I demanded and saw surprise show up on her face.
"Are you even..."
"Kiss me" I demanded again and she pulled close and gave me a quick kiss on the lips.
"Good girl"
Her lips parted gently at the praise.
"You want me to let Rick be, right?" I rubbed her lower lip with my thumb.
"Y-yes" She stuttered the word out.
"Fine, I will do that as per your wishes but the moment he makes a move on you..."
"Russo, we... We are not couples and we are not in love each other. We are just living out our desires, you can't... You can't get in my way when I want to have a man I love. Even if it's not Rick, I will love another man one day and I will be his..."
I felt irked by those words and my jaws clenched. I was a bit more pissed off at the fact that she was damn right. This... What was between us would only last for a while. Soon, Caramia would find herself another man and she will put an end to this. That was a fact. A fact that I always knew but now wasn't too pleased at.
My hand left her face, trailing down to her neck gently before I wrapped my hand around her neck and leaned in rn kiss her shoulders.
"For now, you are mine, Caramia and if he tries taking away what is mine, I will let him know you belong to someone else. You belong to me."
