CHAPTER 37
Isadora POV
*BOOM *
“bitch! It’s wedding planning time!” Josie kicked open the door and yelled. I’m going to kill my best friend. I glance at the clock 7 AM yep, gonna kill her. I wake up yet again with Rafael’s face firmly planted in my ass. Why? Why does he like doing that? He groans and blindly grabs his pillow, chucking it at Josie. It completely misses her and hits the wall, falling to the floor.
“Get the fuck out Josie, or I will shoot you.” Rafael groans making me giggle.
“Um why is his face in your ass?” She asked looking almost mortified.
“I don’t know. I woke up once before with him like this.” I said giggling. She scrunched her face.
“We’ll be waiting for you downstairs lovebirds”, she yelled as she walked outContent is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
-Few Minutes Later-
I walk downstairs and see Esme, Gabriella, Josie and Nessa all talking. “Finally!” Josie huffs.
“You look beautiful darling.” Esme greets me. “Thank you Esme. You look beautiful too.” She smiled and kissed my cheek.
“How’s Leo?” I asked. Not that I’m actually concerned but that is her son and I don’t want to seem like a complete bitch.
“Probably sore as hell, has a raging migraine and wishing he could take some pain meds.” She states.
“Why can’t he take pain meds?”
“He needs to learn his lessons the hard way.” Wait what? Did I just hear that right?
“Are you saying you’re not mad about what happened to him?” I asked feeling very confused. You would think as a mother, she would be livid, but she seemed pretty calm about it.
“Oh you sweet thing you. If you’re going to marry into this family, there’s a few things you need to know about us Montez’s. One, we may beat the hell out of one another, even draw blood, but we are still family. Two, we never condone fucking with someone else’s relationship. Leo had no right to be inappropriate with you like that. He knew how Rafael would feel about it, but he did it anyway. And three, we let our children take the punishments they sO rightfully earned. Leo earned that ass whooping Rafael gave him. Hence why I’m not giving him his pain meds. He’s a stubborn boy. Been like that since he was a child.” She stated calmly. I nod and try not to 1laugh.
“So we are going to the mall today to pick out your bridesmaid’s dresses and your wedding dress!” Nadi clapped excitedly.
–At the mall–
“You have to try it on! I need to see you in that!” Gabriella said excitedly and pushes me into the dressing room. Once on, I walk out. “You look so beautiful darling Give me a spin.” She twirls her finger. I slowly turn.
“Nice! Makes your ass look good.” Nessa winks.
“Rafael should love that.” Josie adds and earns a slap on the back of the head from Gabriella. “Don’t be nasty Josie.” She says waving a finger at her.
“Sorry Gabbi.” Josie puff out her lip. Gabriella kisses her head. “As his mother, I just don’t want that image in my head dear.” Josie nods and giggles. As Esme, Gabriella, Nessa and Nadi go to pay for the dress, I walk over to a full length mirror and see myself. Reality comes crashing down hard and I cry.
“Isa, what’s wrong?” Josie asks trying to comfort me.
“I’m happy J. I met a man who truly loves me. Not only does he tell me every single day but he proves it.” I wipe a tear off my cheek.
“I wish I could be that happy.” She frowns. I turn and hug her.
“What about Cass or Nessa?”
“Nessa is just a fuck buddy. She made that clear the first time we.” I cut her off.
“You slept with her?”
“Um. DUH! Can you honestly look me in the eyes and tell me that if that fine ass woman told you she was going to take you home and fuck the shit out of you, you would turn her down?” She rolls her eyes.
“Seeing as I’m completely in love with Rafael, yes. Yes, I would turn her down.” I giggle. She squints her eyes at me.
“Okay fine, but if you were single?” she counters. I look over at Nessa who was laughing with Nadia.
“What the hell, I’d give her a try.” We giggle.
“But seriously, I’ve been watching Cass and he seems to stare at you a lot. Kinda reminds me of how Rafael would stare at me in the club.” 1
“I don’t know Isa. He hasn’t ever expressed that he wants a relationship and he hasn’t made any moves either.”
“Seriously Josie !? This isn’t the old days where Cass needs to ask your father’s permission to court you. These are modern times babe! Get yourself some naughty panites and present yourself as a gift to be unwrapped only by his hands.” I wiggle my eyebrows at her.
“And when did you become so kinky?” She raised an eyebrow.
“I blame you and Rafael.” I roll my eyes. “You’re welcome.” She laughs and kisses my head.
“Isa dear, go get changed. We’re going home.” Gabriella hollered. I nodded.
-Back Home-
We walk in and all the boys were in the kitchen laughing and talking. Enrico was at the stove making mac n’cheese for Mirella who was sitting on the counter swinging her feet and humming. When Rafael sees me, he quickly gets out of his chair and wraps me up in his arms.
“Not even gone for more than a couple of hours. You crack addict.” Josie jests.
“She is my crack Josie. It’s hard to go even a couple minutes without touching my kitten.” He says kissing me sweetly.
“That sounded so dirty:” Alfie laughs. The boys laugh with him. I lean into Rafael’s ear and whisper.
“Distract Josie for me. I need to talk to Cass.” He kissed me and nodded. As he got her attention away from Cass, I walk up to him.
“I need to talk to you.” I whispered. He nodded and luckily slipped away without her knowing.
“What’s up kitty cat?” He smiles.
“Do you like Josie?” Get straight to the point. No beating around the bush.
“She’s a beautiful woman, I can’t deny that.” He says scratching the back of his neck. I roll my eyes.
“Stay on topic Cass. Do you like her?”
“Yes.”
“Then why haven’t you made a move yet?” “Our friendship. I would hate to ruin that. We’ve been friends for years. I don ‘t want to lose her. I mean yeah, we fucked around a few times but I feel like if we put a label on us, it would ruin our friendship if things went sour.” He said calmly.
“Don’t let fear hold you back from something better.” He raised an eyebrow.
“How do you know it would be better?”
“Was the sex good?” I asked and he blushed. Oh my god! Did I just make the Cassius Quinn blush !? Why do I never have a camera on me when I need it !?
“The sex was amazing. It was like our souls were talking to each other and” I cut him off, putting my hand over his mouth.
“If it was that good, then stop being so worried and go claim your girl.” I winked. Another thing I learned about Cass is he’s never subtle about anything. Clothes, drinks, women .. he wears his heart on his sleeve and his filter open to the world. He nodded and walked back over to Josie, picking her up by her ass, making her squeal.
“Cass! What are you” Before she could finish, he kissed her hard. I could practically see their tongues fighting for dominance. “Mine.” Cass said loud enough for the whole room to hear.
“What did you say?” Josie asked shocked. “You heard me. I said mine.” He grins. Josie smiles. “Yours.” With that being all the confirmation he needed, he walked out of the kitchen with her in his arms. Gabriella watched as they walked upstairs, never breaking their kiss.
“My house is not a brothel children!” She shouts, making everyone laugh.
