River
Once i was done, we went back inside. I excused myself to my office to change clothes. I always keep an extra change of clothes in the office.
When your cooking you just never know when an accident is going to occur and you'll need clean clothes. I've had to change my clothes plenty of times while working.
I went into my office and locked the door. I leaned up against the door for a few minutes just to calm down. That shit shook me up. I hate that evil assed family, and it pissed me off that once afuckingain someone in that family scared my face.
After leaning up against the door for a minute i went over to my bag and opened it up. I had a pair of leggings and a spaghetti strapped shirt with a crop top hoodie in the bag.
I carefully changed into it, i didn't have a bra in the bad and i wasn't wearing one because you couldn't with the jumper. Thankfully with my small boobs i could get away without one though.
I found a pair of my flats that id left there and put them on instead of putting my heals back on. They were killing my ankle and I knew that I wasn't going to be able to walk around in them much longer. Im so glade that i forgot them in my office a few days ago.
I put my clothes and shoes in my duffle bag and zipped it up and headed to the private room. I really hope that i can get the blood out of my outfit. It was the first time i had wore it and i loved it.
I noticed that i had a shadow in the form of the trees bodyguard. He was behind me and even offered to help me and even though it hurt like the dickens i refused.
I stopped and got two bags of ice and when i got to the private room Nonna was waiting for me by the door. "Are you ok sweetheart?" She asked me.
"Im ok Nonna, my face and ankle hurts but im ok. Thankfully i keep extra clothes in my office. I also forgot a pair of flats a few days ago so i had stuff to change into. I really hope that i can get the blood out of my outfit. I really liked it and it was the first time i wore it. I should've hit the bastard harder than i did" I said.
"We'll figure out a way to get the blood out and if it won't come out i'll buy you another one. And im pretty sure i herd the emts say you broke his face and gave him a concussion from where his head bounced off the floor" Nonna said with a laugh.
I sat my bag by the door and we walked over to join everyone else. After hugs and making sure they knew that i was fine we finally sat down to dinner.
When the waitress came in we started by ordering drinks. While everyone else got a couple of bottles of wine to share i ordered a glass of Dr Pepper. Im not a wine drinker, i think its gross and don't like it. And after the evening that i've had, i don't need any.
I knew the menu by heart and i knew what i wanted for dinner without even looking at it. I sat with my head on Chris' lap with my ice on my face. He ran his fingers through my hair while he talked to everyone. And I kicked my shoes off and put my feet on Nicco's lap with the ice on my ankle.
When the waitress brought in our drinks she took our orders. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger with the works. I also got curly fries, cheese sticks, onion rings, and broccoli cheese bits. I knew whatever was left would be lunch tomorrow.
Id told Chris what i wanted so he ordered my food for me. My face was killing me and when i got home i was going to have to take some motrin.
As we were waiting for our food, one of the meatheads that works for the tree came up to him and handed him something and then left again.
"Here River, I had my guys go pick up some motrin and tylenol for you. My personal doctor said that if motrin or tylenol doesn't help go to the hospital and they'll give you something stronger. He'd come see you himself and give you pain medicine but he's out of town at the moment for a family emergency. He also said ice on for fifteen minutes at a time and to take it easy for a couple of days" Dom said.
I was shocked that he talked to his doctor and had his guys go get me Motrin and tylenol. "Thank you for that. I'll take the motrin, im allergic to tylenol and can't take it. I appreciate you doing that for me. Do i owe you anything?" I asked as i sat up to take some motrin.
"Your welcome and no you don't owe me anything. Im glade to do it and i apologize for my words earlier and how i've acted. I was an ass and i shouldn't have been. It's no excuse but i've been stressed over some things."
"Thank you for apologizing and i am sorry as well. I was pissed off over that creep yesterday and shouldn't have took it out on you or your meathead" i said.
"You've also been extremely busy between school, work,and practice and it's made you really mean. You've hit me a few time this week" Nicco said jokingly.
It was immediately followed by "Me to" shouted from Dante and Enzo. "I have not, and even if i had, it's because the three of you guys have been assholes all week" i said with a frown and then winced because it hurt.
Dom squeezed my shoulder and walked back to his seat. I took a couple of motrin and then laid back down with my head on Chris' lap and kicked my feet back up onto Nicco's lap.
I figured he'd give me hell for it but he just squeezed my leg, put the ice back and kept taking to Dom's brothers.
Our dinner was finally delivered and i managed to eat a little bit of my food. It hurt to much to keep chewing. I boxed up what i couldn't eat and would take it home for later. Hopefully after the motrin kicked in id be able to east some more.
When everyone got done eating Dom and his bodyguard stepped out of the room for a minute and i figured he was going to the restroom. When he finally came back everyone was ready to go.
We were all giving hugs and were getting ready to leave. Nicco grabbed my bag that had my clothes in it, to carry for me. He picks on me but he really is the best brother.
"The bills taken care of. I paid for all of us and i paid for everyone that was in the diner when that asshole caused a scene with River" Dom told Nonna.
"Dom you didn't have to do any of that. I told you, dinner tonight was on me and i told the girls to give them their meals for free. But thank you so much for that. You really are a sweet young man, do you know that?" Nonna asked him.
I swear that i seen him blush. "I keep telling him Rosa, that he's going to make some lucky girl a fine husband. But he says he's never getting married" Angela says with a sigh. "Which means no beautiful grandbabies from him to love on. Its such a shame, he'd make some beautiful babies to."
He says something back to her but i don't hear what it is because Chris comes and hugs me. "I could really kick Anthony's ass myself. You looked really beautiful tonight and now your back in your armor."
"It was the only clothes that i had here and my clothes were covered in blood. I hope it comes out, i just got that outfit and tonight was the first time wearing it. You know, he got pissed and hit me when i said that he wasn't my dad. I told him that you and Ren are my dads. And your the best dads that i could ever ask for. Thank you for being there for me for all of these years. I love you so much" I said to him.
Arms circled me from behind and i got a big squeeze. "We love you to bambolotta, so much. It has been our privilege to be your dads. If you don't feel like coming for dinner tomorrow you don't have to just call and let us know. If you do want to come call me and i'll come pick you up so that your not driving, ok" Ren asked me.
"Oh Poppa, im coming to dinner tomorrow. I need some time with my favorite dads" i said with a slight smile.
The whole time i was talking with my dads Dom and his bodyguard were watching me. When everyone was ready to go we started leaving the private room. Everyone was leaving the room in groups.
Nicco picked me up and carried me so i didn't have to walk on my sore ankle. Nonna said she was checking in with the night manager and she'd be out to the car in a minute.
We headed out to Nicco's car and Dom was there waiting. Nicco sat me down by my door and then went around and got into the drivers side.
"I wanted to give you my number. This card has my work numbers and my private cell number is written on the back. If you ever need anything River call me and i'll be there" He said.
"Thank you and thank you for everything. Yesterday and today" I said. He nodded his head and then bent down and kissed my forehead. Then he helped me into the car. Then he walked over to his car and got in to leave.
After i got settled into my seat i looked up and Nicco was smirking at me. "What?" I asked him.
"I think he likes you. I've known him for years and i've never seen him like that with any woman. Hell the only woman he gets close to is his mom and sister. I've only ever seen him around men. I've never seen him with woman. Hell when he has functions to go to he'll take him mom if he's dads not going or his sister if he is. But most of the time he just goes alone, and his security guys keep the woman away."
"Im sure he doesn't like me Nic. Hell im way younger than he is. Besides im sure he goes for the tall, skinny beautiful girls. Not the short, fat, and ugly ones. And if not then maybe he's gay" I said.
Nicco's head whipped around so fast im amazed his head didn't pop off. "You are not fat or ugly Ursula River Russo. You have curves and you are extremely beautiful. You have scares yes, but that doesn't mean that you are ugly. I don't ever and i mean EVER want to hear you say that shit again. Am i clear?" He growled at me.
"Cristal" I said. "I've just had a really bad day. I'll feel better tomorrow." I laid my head back and rested. "And i don't think he's gay, bi maybe. But i wouldn't say that in front of him ever. He can be a mean son of a bitch when he wants to be" Nicco said.
Soon Nonna was in the car and we were on our way home. It had been such a long day. I couldn't wait to get home and get into bed and go to sleep. This has been a very, very long day.
