Stay

'I show my scars, so others know that they can heal'

*Edited

"You want to stay?" I look at the shock on Nonna Rosa's face.

"Of course, I still haven't been able to explore and Stefano and Nico grew up here. Who better to help me find the good spots?"

"You still need time to heal little one." I look at Luca, I knew I wasn't going to be able to convince Luca on anything. I was about to give up when Stefano walks into the kitchen and a small smile spreads on my face.

"Stefano, will you carry me?"

"Of course princess." I look back at Luca.

"Problem solved." Luca shakes his head and Nonna Rosa let's out a laugh. Stefano looks at me confused. "I want to stay." I see a smile spread across his lips. "But I need help getting around."

"I'll take you any where you want to go." I let out a laugh when he picks me up.

"Before you go anywhere, you'll need to eat and rewrap your leg." I look at Luca.

"Yes, Sir." Stefano sits me down next to Nonna Rosa while he helps Luca with lunch.

"There should be a party." I look at Nonna Rosa. "Will you stop by Carlos' shop? I need to make a list." I look at her get up and rush around looking for a pen and paper. She hands me a list. Luca puts food in front of us. We all eat, now I have to wait for Adrianno so he can rewrap my leg. I look at Adrianno walk in the dining area.

"Be careful." He looks at Stefano. "If she comes back hurt in anyway..." I make Adrianno look at me.

"I will be fine." I kiss his forehead and he gets to wrapping my leg. Stefano picks me up when he's done.

"Where's Nico? He must come with us." I look around, but don't see him.

"He had some things to do, but as soon as he comes back. I'll let him know to find you." I give Nonna Rosa a smile before Stefano starts to walk to Carlos' bread shop. We walk inside and Stefano puts me down so Carlos can give me a hug.

"Oh angel, I thought you would be on the first boat back." I see the smile on his face and I give him one back.

"I wanted to stay." I see the smile on his face get bigger. "Nonna Rosa told me to give you this." I hand Carlos the piece of paper, he reads it and a smile spreads across his face.

"Tell her of course." Stefano picks me back up after Carlos gives us a small basket of different kinds of bread for our adventure.

"We would come back here in the summers." I look at Stefano when he sits me down on some broken rocks, I look around and it looks like we're in an ancient arena from old Greece. I could imagine Spartan and I let out a small laugh.

"This is where yall fought each other." I look at Stefano giving him a small smile.

"There wasn't much to do and everytime we got in trouble we were put to work." He let's out a laugh.

"What? Stefano tired of getting into trouble." I let out a laugh. "What about now?" I look at him and bite my lip.

"Don't make me tell Luca on you." He let's out a laugh when I look at him in shock. "No sex until you're healed." He gives me a kiss on my forehead. He goes for the basket and I pull it away.

"I can't believe you would tell on me." I look at him with fake hurt on my face.

"If it keeps you from getting hurt." I look at Nico walk up and Stefano takes a sweet bread. I look at him and he let's out a laugh.
