Chapter 13 - Their Beautiful Strong Queen

River

The next morning i got up and was goin to put my boot back on. But figured that id wait since i need a shower. Then i got up and used my knee scooter to get to the bathroom.

After i used the bathroom i got undressed. I wheeled over to the shower and started my water. I had a walk in shower and it had a bench seat on one side so i was able to sit down.

I managed to hop into the shower. Trying to take a shower on one leg was hard. After i got wet, i washed my hair and then rinsed it. Then i put conditioner in it.

I grabbed my scrubby, my soap and my raiser sat down on the bench seat to wash up. After i poured some soap on my scrubby i washed my body. Then i shaved my pits and my legs, then washed up again.

When i was done i stood up and rinsed off and washed out the conditioner. I rinsed out my puffy and raiser and put them up. When i was done i shut the water off and rang the water out of my hair.

Trying to hope out of the shower was hard. Thankfully Nonna knocked on the door to see if i needed help. "Good morning Amorina, i figured that you might need some help with a shower this morning."

"Good morning Nonna, i managed to shower just fine. I used the bench seat and sat down most of the time. Now getting out is another problem. I cant reach my towel and if i hope out like i did getting in, im going to bust my ass on this wet floor" i said.

"Ok, ill help you." Nonna came in and handed me my towel and after i wrapped it around me she helped me out of the shower.

I managed to dry off and then i headed into my closet to get dressed. Nonna headed downstairs after helping me get out of the shower. She was going to start breakfast.

Once in my closet i went to pick out my clothes for the day. It was going to be warm so i decided to wear a pair of blue jean shorts that had butterflies on the butt of them. I also found a tshirt that had a butterfly on the front of it that covered all of me. It said broke out of my cocoon on the front of it.

The shirt was black on the back and on the front around the words and the butterfly it was white. It kind of looked like it was making the blackness go away. I picked out a white bra and thong and then got dressed.

I then went over to my shoes and found a cute pair of flats and grabbed the left one. I then wheeled back in to my bed and sat down to put my boot on. After i got it on and my left shoe on i went over to my vanity and sat down to dry my hair.

Once it was dry, i pulled it up in a ponytail and then braided it down. I grabbed an extra hair thing and then i was done. I couldn't wear makeup because of my face being busted open and swelled up. I did put some chap stick on though.

When i was done getting ready, i grabbed my key and put into my purse. Then i put my bookbag on my back, my laptop bag and purse over my shoulder and stuck my phone in my back pocket. Then headed out of my room and down to the elevator.

When i got downstairs i could hear many voice's in the kitchen. More than just Nonna and Nicco. When i got in there i found out why. Not only were Nonna and Nicco in there but so were Uncle Z and Aunt Bella, Dante and Enzo. Dom and Marcello were also in there when i rolled in.

"Good morning everyone" I said with a yawn. I wasn't quiet yet awake, even with a shower. I needed lots of coffee to be human. I put all of my stuff down on the back of a stool and then wheeler over to get me coffee.

I grabbed my huge coffee cup and then put my cinnamon bun creamer in it and filled it up. I took a big sip of it and then sighed. It was so good.

"Good morning Amorina, sit down and ill fix you a plate so that you can eat before you head to school. Dom and Marcello came to pick you up and drop you off at school" Nonna said.

"Yea they said yesterday that they'd pick me up and take me" i said as i wheeled over to sit down. Everyone was at the table and it was full so i sat my coffee down on the island and then managed to get my ass up on the stool.

They are so tall and with me being so short i usually have to jump but i made it. After i got situated i turned around so i could talk to everyone.

"How is everyone this morning" I asked on a yawn. "We're all good Tesoruccia, how are you feeling?" Uncle Z asked me.

"Im good but a little tired. It was hard to sleep last night. Everytime i moved id bump my ankle and wake up or id roll over onto my face and wake up. For someone who is use to sleeping on their stomach with a leg pulled to my chest, trying to sleep on my back is hard."

"Just think if you ever get pregnant you'll have to get use to sleeping on your back. You can't sleep on your stomach" Aunt Bella said.

"Aunt Bella, hush your mouth. That's a long, long ways off. I plan to finish college before that ever happens."

"Really mom, the last thing any of us want to think about is River ever having sex. I mean come on" Dante said.

"Oh shut up Dante. You may not want to think about me ever possibly having sex but yet you talk about ever girl that you "bang" right in front of me. And that's what's gross. No one wants to know how many positions your blow up dolls can bend into" i said.

Uncle Z was getting a drink of his coffee when i said that and spit it across the table onto Nicco. He was laughing so hard and coughing to now. "Damn, River try to kill me why don't you. That's funny shit though because every girl that we've ever met has been a stick figure with no brains in her head."

"Fuck, thanks for spitting on me bro now i gotta go change clothes before going to work" Nicco said. "Your welcome" Uncle Z told him with a laugh.

Dom was laughing at everyone as him and Marcello walked over to me. They both gave me a hug good morning and a kiss on the forehead. "Good morning Cara" they both said.

Nonna had sat a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon and pancakes down in front of me so i was eating. They just stood close to me while i ate breakfast and listened to everyone talking.

When i was done eating breakfast and drinking my coffee, Marcello took my plate and cup and rinsed them both and put them in the dishwasher for me.

Right after i got done it was time for everyone to head out to work and school. Marcello grabbed all of my bags, including my purse, and Dome helped me down.

After i got down i got my leg situated on my knee scooter and then headed out through the garage after hugging everyone. It was decided that this week Dom and Marcello would drive me to school and Enzo would bring me home.

The garage doors were opened up from where Nicco and Nonna were getting ready to leave. So i wheeled through there and out to Dom's vehicle.

He opened up the back door and then lifted me up and into the middle then fastened my seatbelt onto me. When he was down he took my knee scooter and put it into the back on the car.

After they both loaded up with Dom on my right and Marcello on my left, we pulled out and headed for school.

"Do you guys have a busy day today?" i asked them. "Its not to bad of a day today i don't think. I have a few meetings. And a phone call about the trip that i have to go on next week. I have to check on one of the new hotels that im building and see how its going. We were having some trouble with it. What all do you have to do today?" Dom asked me.

"I have my business class today, an art class, a cooking class, accounting and a book keeping class. I've got my final tests in a couple of them. It shouldn't be to bad though. Since i don't have to work right now because of my ankle then im going to go home after school and study some more and work on one of my final projects for my art class."

"So you have a busy day today as well then. I've got a meeting when you get out of school today but text one of us and let us know when you get home. I've got some friends coming over tonight" Dom said while looking at me then glancing at the men in the front and then to Marcello and then back to me. I understood what he was trying to say, their other guys were coming over.

"Ill call you so that we can all talk to you. We told them about you and they can't wait to meet you. I know Marcello filled you in on everything. Our friends are part of the Reapers Worriers Mc. They're actually the President and Sargent at arms. They were both in the military but now they run the club. They've got businesses through the club as well as their own businesses."

"Yea, I've heard of them Nicco and i went on one of their rides last year. The other that they did to raise money for the childrens hospital. I rode with Nicco because my bike was down. They do alot of good for the town. I cant wait to meet them."

We stopped at sips and Marcello went in to get us coffee. It didn't take long and he was back. He handed me my iced mocha coffee and a bag with chocolate and banana muffins in it.

We talked all the way to the school. I couldn't wait to keep getting to know them better. And i couldn't wait until i got to meet the other guys.

When we got to school Marcello unfastened my seatbelt and after Dom got out i slid across to his side to wait on my scooter. He grabbed it and Marcello grabbed my bags.

When i got out i put my coffee in my basket and then put my bookbag on and the straps for my other bags over my shoulder.

"Have a good day and ill talk to you tonight. Don't forget to text when you get home" Marcello said as he kissed my forehead.

"Who are they guys that are yelling your name? You were with them last week also" Dom asked me.

"They're just friends of mine. We're all on the baseball team together. We also grew up together, so they're pretty much like extra brothers" i said.

"Ok then, have a good day Amore. Don't forget to text us when Enzo drops you off at home. And when we get home ill call you so that we can all talk to you" Dom said as he kissed me on the forehead.

"Ok, ill text you both when i have a good day. You both have a great day and ill talk to you tonight. Ciao bello" i said to them both. I blew them a kiss as they got back into their car.

I headed toward class and where the guys were waiting for me and they pulled out. I couldn't wait for the day to be over so that i could talk to them tonight. It was going to be a long day.
