Vincenzo's Lover

"Go Ahead."

-Cat-

Time went on and River and I talked some more and more and became good friends. But something in me wanted more. I'd looked at him and can't help but wonder what it would be like to kiss him.

I found him really attractive and funny. He didn't seem to mind Bambi at all. In fact, he loved her. They would always play games when he was over and she seemed to like him more than me! Bambi would ask for him sometimes which I found cute.

I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Lyric and she was an angel. I loved her so much.

We were in my kitchen eating strawberries and chocolate. "Mmm. ." I murmured as I ate another one. He chuckled, before eating one himself. River was a great cook. He was brilliant at baking too.

"You know what would be nice with-"

Lyric cried on the baby monitor. I sighed, placing my strawberry down and looking at him before smiling. "Come on." I led him upstairs and into the room. I picked her up and kissed her cheek and she stopped crying slowly, cuddling against me. I turned to River. "Wanna hold her?" I asked with a smile. He chuckled, glancing at my daughter before nodding.

I walked over and passed her to him carefully. She gurgled a little bit closed her eyes, beginning to sleep.
"She's beautiful, Cat," he murmured, bouncing her a little. I licked my lips, smiling. "Thanks."

I glanced at the clock. "Fudge, I have to go."

"Is it already time?" He asked, surprised and I nodded, smiling. "Yes, I have to go - and so do you, you'll be late for work." He groaned and got ready.

He drove me to the cafe with Lyric and parked in front of it. I bit my lip, looking at him. "I'm scared," I admitted and he gazed into my eyes and took my hand.

My breath hitched and I gazed into his eyes. He rubbed her hand gently and told me softly, "it'll be alright, Cat. Stay strong, okay?" I nodded, my eyes slowly going to his lips.

"Will-Will you pick me up?" I asked, my eyes going from his lips to his eyes. I then noticed that he was looking at my lips too. His eyes moved back to mine and he nodded, smiling softly. "I will. Call me if you need anything." I smiled and he leaned forward to kiss my forehead gently.

I smiled at him before going out of the car and getting Lyric into her pram. "Want me to come in?" River asked me and I shook my head before walking up to him and hugging him briefly. "Thank you."

I turned and pushed Lyric's pram into the cafe. I licked my lips as the door closed behind me and glanced around. My heart hammered against my chest and as I looked, I started to get nervous. I was going to see my family after all.

My eyes fell upon a woman with two teenagers in a booth. I bit my bottom lip, looking at them. They hadn't seen me and were talking amongst themselves.

I licked my lips, gaining some confidence and pushing Lyric's pram as I walked towards them and their eyes saw me coming. I felt warm and scared but I had to push those shaky feelings aside and get on with it.

There was my mother sat opposite my siblings. Her eyes gazed at me and lit up. I bit my lip harder and pulled a chair, bringing it to the table and taking a seat while bringing the pushchair close to me, and putting the brakes on.

"Cat."

I turned my head to see Elena, her face filled with surprise like everyone else's. She had grown so much. She was wearing a checkered shirt with some jeans and some trainers. Her hair was on her shoulders and she had a some makeup on but it was light and looked natural. She looked gorgeous and had freckles, just like me.
