Weeks passed and here it was

Weeks passed and here it was. December. It's getting colder by every passing day. Soon it's going to start snowing.

I'm officially seven months here in New York. And I can say that this was my best decision. Ever.

Ever since that kiss, a lot of stuff changed I feel freer around Xavier. I don't know are we dating or not but I got attached to him.

We would spend the whole day and night together, well almost every day and night. Sometimes he would need to go to the meetings or have some missions so he would send Moreno or Fabio to stay with us and keep Emiliano and me safe. They still didn't find who the traitor is and I can see how much that stresses Xavier.

Dante didn't come here after he took Bellissa home in Italy. I spoke to him and he has a lot of jobs back home, so he stayed longer to take care of that.

I can't believe how much Emiliano grew since I started to babysit him. When I started to babysit him he was only two months old little bundle and now he is nine months old crawling and blabbering little demon.

I grew to love that little boy, now I can't imagine my life without him or Xavier. It's so weird how your life can change in a short time with the right person next to you.

I could also see that Xavier cares for me too. A couple of days ago I couldn't fall asleep so we talked. About our lives.

Flashback

I was lying on my side facing Xavier. Both of us couldn't fall asleep so we talked about ourselves, our lives.

"...and then I fell and almost broke my leg. My mother wouldn't stop screaming at me later." Xavier said as he was explaining how he almost broke his leg when he was younger making me laugh at him.

My smile started to fall as suddenly my thoughts went to my parents and how they never really paid any attention to me.

I must zone out because Xavier slightly shook my shoulder bringing me back. I looked at him and he must pick up on my change of attitude.

"What happened?" He asked, "Are you sleepy?"
I quickly shook my head looking at him "No, it's not that." I said with a small smile.

He looked at me curiously bringing his rough hand and gently stroking my cheek "What is it? You can tell me." He said sincerely.

Taking a deep breath I told him everything about my relationship with my parents. About how they never really wanted me, about the way they would act towards me, about the way they treated me, about Daniel. Everything.

At the end of my ranting, my throat was dry and got tighter while tears started to cloud my vision. Xavier's eyebrows were furrowed although he didn't say anything but pulled me closer to him burrowing my head in his chest.
