Chapter 119
This date has to be a deal–breaker.
I type into Google.

My door opens and Alessio sticks his head around it. “Hey.”
“Hi.”
“You going home today or what?” he asks.
I glance up to see it’s getting dark outside, the New York lights have begun to light up the sky. “Come in here for a moment,” I say. “Close the door behind you.”
“Yeah.” He flops onto the couch. “What?”
“Where can I take Vee for our first date?”
“Huh?” He frowns. “I thought she was already here.”
“She is.”
“Isn’t she already in love with you?”
“Yeah, but…” I exhale. “Focus on the question…what is the best date I can take her on…like
of all time.” I lean back on my chair. “Like blow–hermind kind of dating.”
He thinks for a moment. “Blow her mind…or your mind?”
“Huh?”
“Well, if it’s blow her mind, take her to a sex club and let five hung dudes rail her.”

screw up my face. “What?”
guarantee she’ll never forget it.” He smirks.
I pinch the bridge of my nose. “Why are you such an idiot?”
“If a woman took me on a first date and lined up five hot women for me to nail…I’d marry her on the spot.” He shrugs. “Just saying.”
“Out.” I point to the door. “Imbecile.”
He chuckles as he leaves, and I slowly pack up my desk while I keep thinking.
Paris…maybe Prague. Thailand is nice this time of year.
What about Aspen?
Hmm….
Fuck this, I’ve been tearing my hair out all day, trying to think of something.
All I know is that it needs to be in the next two days, because my balls are literally about to
explode, and not in the good way.
All this family shit is great, but fuck me…I need some pussy love.
I walk into the bathroom and eye the shower…maybe just a quick wank to get me through
until bedtime.
No…behave. Go home.
I take the elevator to the ground floor and walk out to Mark standing beside the car. “Hello.”
He smiles.
“I still hate you, remember?”
“I prefer to forget.” He opens the car door for me and I get into the backseat. I stare out the window as we drive along.

What about Antarctica?
“It’s white, cold, and not much else to do but fuck in bed…that would work.
That would work great.
I exhale heavily and stare out the window.
“Tough day, boss?”
“Yeah.” I sigh. “I’m trying to think of the perfect first date to take Vee on.”
His eyes meet mine in the rearview mirror. “That’s easy.”
“Enlighten me.”
“Take her to your favorite place on earth…and just be you.” “Just me isn’t good enough for
Vee.” He smiles as he turns the corner.
“What?”
“Have you seen the way she looks at you, man?”
“How does she look at me?” I frown.
“Like you
walk on water.”
“Yeah well, she can talk…” I smile at the warm fuzzy feeling that only my Vee can give me!
“She hung the moon.”
Twenty minutes later, we pull into the underground parking lot and Mark pulls the car up to a halt, I climb out and lean in to get out my briefcase.
“Daddy!” squeals through the parking lot. “Daddy!”
I look up to see the twins bolting toward me, so excited to see me that they jump into my arms. I pick them both up and their little hands wrap around my neck.

Yget a lump in my throat.
I glance over and see Mark and the boys have the biggest smiles too.
And then I see her, my love.
Standing by the elevator, how long has she been waiting down here with them to give me that surprise welcome home?
With the twins in my arms, I walk toward her and kiss her softly, my lips lingering over hers. “You’re going to get it,” I whisper.
She giggles as she hits the elevator button.
“What’s she going to get?” Lucía asks. “Can we all have one?”
“No,” I mutter. “This is for Mom only.”
Suddenly, I know exactly the date that I want to take Vee on… I’m taking her to my favorite place on earth and I’m going to be myself.
