Chapter 31

Lisa's POV

After our phone conversation, the others noticed how sad I looked. I really couldn't hide the fact that I missed him. Kevin and Johnny give each other a look, then stand up and walk over to me.

"Is everything alright, Lisa? Did something happen?" They asked, concerned.

"No, it's just... I miss him". They smile and hug me.

"You love him, don't you?" Kevin asked.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Well, you look like you belong six feet under, and we have noticed how you look at Alessandro, and every time you hear his name, you smile," Kevin continues.

"Wow, guys, you know how to look at signs." I joked.

"Well, it's obvious, and the only reason Alessandro doesn't know it is because of his blindness". Jake tells me with a smirk.

"I ordered pizza; you and Sophia get to choose a movie," Kevin informs me while sitting next to me.

"O great, thank you." I hear the bell ring, and Jake shouts, "I got it!" and goes to get the pizza. Everyone goes to the living room and gets comfortable while I put a movie on.

I notice Lilani asleep. "I'm going to take her to bed", Johnny offers to take her upstairs to her bed. I nodded and let Johnny take her. When I hear the phone ring, I quickly run for it.

"Hello?" I ask excitedly.

"Hey, you sound better", Alessandro's deep voice falls on my ear.

"Yeah, that's because I knew you would call before I went to bed", I smiled.

"I always keep my promises. I wish I was with you now, holding you when you go to bed."

"Yeah, I also wish you were here; it's going to be a long night without you", I admit softly.

"So what are you guys up to? I hope you don't overwhelm yourself too much." Alessandro says he is concerned.

"Don't worry, I have rested; we ordered pizza and decided on a movie night. Lilani fell asleep during the movie".

"That sounds like fun".

"Yes, but it's not the same without you."

"I think as soon as I get back, the two of us should go on our honeymoon". He suddenly says it, leaving me shocked. "I think that's a great idea".

Alright, think of places and let me know, then I can arrange everything." Alessandro and I talked for an hour; neither one of us wanted to end the call, and eventually, Alessandro ended it. I went to the living room and saw everyone fast asleep. I turned everything off and went to bed, hugging Alessandro's pillow.

Antonio's POV

Mr. Mancini asks me to keep in touch with Lisa and the others while he is in surgery. The nurses came in and took him to the theater. I decide to go to the hotel I booked for us and tell the nurse at the station to call me as soon as Mr. Mancini comes out of the theater. With that, I left, praying that this operation would be a success.
