Chapter 37

Alessandro looks down at her and tells her, "You're welcome; this is the best vacation I've had in a very long time." They sit there for a while until it starts to rain heavily.

Lisa went to the kitchen to make some hot chocolate for them.

After a while, they went up. Lisa went to the bathroom, did her nightly routine, and then went to bed. Alessandro also went to do his business and then joined Lisa. She moves closer to him and lies on his chest. Soon, she fell asleep in his arms. Alessandro kisses her head and then falls asleep, thinking about the week they spent together.

The next morning, Lisa went down to make them some breakfast. After she is finished, she takes the tray upstairs.

"Good morning, Mr. Mancini. I hope you slept well," Lisa teased him.

"I can get used to this, you know," he says as he sits up. Alessandro feeds Lisa, and Lisa does the same.

After breakfast, they went and took a shower. Lisa starts packing their bags. She can't believe this week went by so fast. She enjoyed the honeymoon and doesn't regret giving herself fully to Alessandro. As soon as she's done, Alessandro comes to help her get the bags. Lisa looks at the room one more time before following Alessandro.

"Thank you for everything, Olivia. Take care of yourself." Lisa says as she hugs Olivia.

"It was a pleasure; take care of yourself and Alessandro. We look forward to meeting you again." Olivia lovingly embraces Lisa, while Alessandro carries their bags to the awaiting car. Soon they will be on their way to the jet.

As they stepped inside, the same air hostess greeted them. Still ignoring Lisa and flirting with Alessandro. This is going to be one long flight, Lisa thinks. They take their seats and lift off. Lisa feels sad that this week went by so fast. At least she and Alessandro are on good terms, she thinks.

Lisa went to lay down, and soon Alessandro joined. The two of them went at it again until they fell asleep.

Lisa wakes up when Alessandro tells her they will land shortly. As she went to her seat, the air hostess gave her a dirty look. Lisa rolls her eyes.

Back at the mansion, Lilani ran up to them. "Lisa, Ali, you're back." She screams excitedly. Lisa bends down and picks her up.

"Hello Lil." She greets her and then kisses her on the head. Alessandro takes her and kisses her head, saying, "It looks like you have grown since the last time I saw you." Everyone who hears it is taken back.

"The operation was successful." Alessandro informs them. They all went up to him and congratulated him. Grandma stands there with tears in her eyes. She's very glad to hear that her grandson has his eyesight back.

"I'm proud of you, son." Grandpa says this and hugs him.

After they went inside, Lisa gave everyone a present she had bought them.

"Ali, will you remember Father and Daughter Day?" Lilani asks him.

"Yes, I didn't forget about it." He tells her Lilani smiles at Alessandro and hugs him. They all want to know how the Bahamas were. Alessandro and Lisa tell them mostly what they did. Lisa watches Alessandro out of the corner of her eyes as he tells them about their hiking and fishing trips.

Alessandro looks at Lisa every time he tells them about the honeymoon. Lisa realizes he's thinking about all the times they made her blush. The others notice Lisa blushing, but before Kevin can say anything, Lisa excuses herself and goes to unpack their backs.

That night, she went to sleep alone after Alessandro informed her he would be up late taking care of some business. She can't help but worry that he will become distant from her again. That night, she fell asleep with a heavy heart.

"Mr. Lombardi lost all of his companies," Johnny tells Alessandro.

"Good, but I think this is not the last we hear about him; he will take revenge," Alessandro tells them.

"Yes, you know that family is money-hungry," Kevin says.

"We will just need to keep a close eye on him," Jake comments.

"So tell us, did you at least enjoy yourself and learn to open up to Lisa?" Kevin asked him.

"Yes, I already told you what we did, and for the first time in forever, I enjoyed it," Alessandro answered truthfully. The guys look at each other with a knowing look on their faces.

"Did you get to sort out your feelings for Lisa?" Jake asked. "No, there's nothing to sort out. We will never be more than just friends," Alessandro tells them. Johnny just shakes his head in disapproval and tells the guys he's going. Soon, the others will also leave. Alessandro stays up and starts doing some important paperwork.
