MINE

Chapter 16

Reńee pov

I've always been a very observant person. I didn't really talk much as a child and maybe that is the problem

I never talk

So I made this plan, basically asking Lorenzo to let me start my duties as Donna or Duchess I honestly don't know but I really wanna work

Don't get me wrong I absolutely love Alessandro and being in his life but I want to actually do something useful around here, I feel like they all just see me as useless and I hate feeling like that

So now is the best time to put my plan into works

I smile as I look at a sleeping Lorenzo, he's laying on his stomach and has both arms stretched out, one of them across my waist

I lift his arm off of my waist and slide from my spot and straddle his back

I lean down and kiss behind his ear "Réveille-toi beau" I see he opens his eyes and smirks
(Translation: wake up handsome)

He reaches his hand back and starts to massage my ass, I grin and lean down and kiss his cheek

I start to massage his shoulders and he sighs in content

"Does that feel good?" I ask kissing behind his ear again and he nods his head humming yes "so I was thinking... that I could maybe you know"

He gives me a confused look and says "what Darling?" I climb off of him and he turns on his back "What is it?"

I give him a small smile "You know maybe start my duties as Duchess" he sighs and rubs his face

"Oh umm... I don't think that's such a good idea right now" He says and I furrow my eyebrows confused as to why he said that

"Why?" I ask crossing my arms and tilting my head "I don't think your ready yet" He says sitting up

I furrow my eyebrows and say "I trained for like 2 weeks straight What do you mean I'm not ready" I huffed "well how about I just go to the meetings then"

"Listen Darling, let's finish this conversation later, Yes?" He says kissing my cheek and getting out of the bed and I watch him walk into the bathroom

I scoff

What the hell does he mean I'm not ready?!

I climb off the bed and walk out of the bedroom really upset at the fact that he thinks I'm not ready yet

I went through physical and mental training for 2 weeks straight and he won't even let me in on the meetings

Idiot

I'm still quite upset that Lorenzo won't let me help with anything so I took Alessandro to the park

"Look mama! Look how high I can go" Alessandro exclaims swinging on the swing set and i smile at him clapping my hands "Don't go to high!" I say and he nods his head

I look around and see Joey on the phone talking to someone, he makes eye contact with me and nods his head and I wave him over and he hangs up

He walks in front of me and bows "Duchess" I roll my eyes, I linked my arm through his and we began walking near the pond, the other guards watching Alessandro

"What's wrong?" He asks me and I sigh "I asked Lorenzo to let me start my duties and he totally blew me off" I say rolling my eyes

He sighs "maybe he doesn't want you to get hurt" I stop walking "I trained for 2 weeks straight, try another excuse" I say
