Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2021 15:25:50 +1000 From: max dowling Subject: Impossible Love 49 Impossible Love 49 Maxieplus It was like a small family reunion on the steps around six, the new kids were there with their bottle of wine, Matteo with Sabine and Tony, Gino and a very distressed Anna who after one sip had to go and lay down. Alice had Lukas until Sabine took him then she went inside to give Anna a back rub. Gino was impressed with Matteo and again they were sizing each other up Gianni was laughing, I was embarrassed for Gino he had nothing on Matt. The conversation tonight was about the kids, I will call them kids because they aren't even twenty-one yet, but very mature guys they know what they want and where they are going. Maxie was saying he was not going ahead with his kickboxing career he wanted to build a family home instead. He might one day open his own wine bar up the street. His idea of placing one next to the Italian club was good he would get the runoff from it. I suggested he talk to Gianni about franchising his café design when he's ready to fly. Tommaso was going on to university to become an accountant he wants to work for corporate companies, I looked at Sabine and she stored the dream away for the future. In the meantime, they are having so much fun at Angelo's they won't make plans until after Christmas. "Gino, get in here," Alice yelled out the window. He drank the rest of his wine then went inside, I heard a whole lot of shouting and before we knew it Gino yelled out the window. "Gianni get the van she's in labor." Gianni was off and running this is part of the plan, Gianni drives and Gino consoles his lover. It didn't go to plan and some of us missed out on being at the hospital, Alice went Sabine went Gianni drove the boys went. I held Lukas and was just about to get into the back when the door closed and Gianni drove off. I laughed to myself, he will be pissed off I'm not with him when he realizes it. That broke up our get-together, the kids went home Federico Matteo and myself went upstairs to await a phone call. "Did Tony go with Sabine?" I asked Federico. "Is the pope a catholic?" "Okay, it's just I didn't see him get in." "Wine?" I offered. "Yes please Antonio." They both said. I moved them outside after I placed you know who in front of the TV, he clapped because he was happy now. I got the drinks and rang gran to tell her, she will pass the word around for me. Federico had a talk to Matteo about his father he was more comfortable with him now, he had two drinks and went home to wait for Alice's call. That left Matteo and me, he said he wasn't a big drinker and never has been, then he laid on the sun lounge on his side and looked at me. "You are so handsome Antonio, your eyes sparkle when you talk." "Thank you my new brother, you're not so bad yourself, why are you still single?" "I haven't found the right person. Yes I have had many lovers but not the right one has come along until I met you." Whoops, better put a lid on this one. "Matteo, you know when I first met Gianni at the lake, he told me much the same. He said Lukas was for us and I was for him, he captured my heart almost instantly and he holds it close to his. I asked for it back once but he said he was addicted to its beat." I smiled off into the distance. "I also have a very deep love for him and his son, all jokes aside I would never cheat on them both they are too precious to me. We joke around with your brothers but they know their limits. They adore each other and it's all a game with them. If I was to let them fuck me it would be all over and a dark cloud would cover my beautiful family." "So you don't play around like normal gays then?" "No Matteo, it's all a game of who's got the biggest dick, and ego with your brothers. I am just the meat in the sandwich, the one they pick on the most." I hope I haven't offended him. "Good." He turned onto his back I couldn't help but notice his bulge. "I also want to find my love, I have looked everywhere since I was a teenager but never found that someone that is so solid I could leave him in a sauna and he would be sweeping the floors when I arrived back. Someone that will hold me and love me, and let me take their heart and place it next to mine." "So you haven't found him at all?" "Once I thought I had Antonio, but it doesn't take him long to fool around with my friends. It broke my heart and that's why I love you Antonio. I wish you had met me first at the lake you would have been mine, I am sure of that." "Your impossible love Matteo, it will come to you and heal your broken heart instantly. You have to be ready because it will hit you hard, take your heart and wrap you both up into its beat." He looked sideways at me. "Gianni is a very lucky man Antonio, I have decided you are a good person and I am glad he has someone like you to look out for him." "I am the lucky one Matteo. I get to sleep with him and his brother's every night almost, so I get a grope a perve and a wonderful lover and husband at the same time." "Can I hold you too Antonio?" "Of course you can, but the rules are no penetration no eating cum and no deep probing kissing, just comfort and a safe place to sleep. But above it all, fun, just have fun because sadness doesn't enter our bed." "He was beautiful Antonio like you, I have no idea why he was doing that to me." "He was stupid and vane, some guys can't see the future they think being gay is all about the sex, it's not. It's about companionship, friendship, and security. One day they wake up feeling so lonely and there's no one in their beds, that's when they will feel it the most, but not me or Gianni, I won't allow it to happen." They came up in the lift all ready to have a drink it was a false alarm, they will keep her in for the night and send her home in the morning. The boys whined, Sabine and Tony had disappointed and Gianni stared at me. Gianni grabbed my wine glass and poured it down the sink as the boys opened another bottle. "Good night brothers we are going to bed, alone." He took my hand and I thought now he will want me to explain why his brother was laying so close to me. The knocking on the door didn't last long as I stripped and sat on the side of the bed, he was still watching me. "I want to fuck you so bad Antonio, you take my breath away sometimes and that's all I want to do is take you in my arms." He got on his knees and kissed me. "I feel the same Gianni, you are for me, I am for you, Lukas is for us and there is no one else in our bed tonight." I kissed him. "Is he nice?" "He's like you, he wants a forever love." 'We had better find him one before he maybe thinks he can steal mine." "He hasn't a chance my love, you hold my heart firmly. He's not strong enough to break that hold. He's not weak but you and I are stronger." His head bobbed up and down as he had already started his foreplay, I fell back and moaned. I had no idea if Gianni thought there was maybe something going on because he never really said anything and when the subject came up later on he said. "Antonio, you are so funny sometimes, why would you think he could take you from me?" I blushed and I didn't answer him. I turned into his chest and went to sleep feeling more loved than I did an hour or so ago. The morning was a very different story Lukas and the boys were in with us, Matteo had him sleeping on his awesome chest while I cuddled Gianni's. "He got upset during the night so we slipped in here Antonio." I looked at my son he was sleeping soundly and I checked he wasn't wet. He shifted Lukas onto Carlos's chest and moved on his side, he gave me a few pumps with his hard-on, then Gianni grabbed me and hauled me over to the other side of the bed. One minute I was in the air and the next he was firmly planted covering my ass. "Forget it brother, he's exhausted after last night's thorough seeing to." "You're certainly no fun Gianni." I heard him say. "Try me and I will show you how hilarious I can be." He shifted back onto Matteo and the four of us started giggling which woke Lukas up, so I left them to sort out the logistics of his nappy. It was all a ploy to get me up to make breakfast I'm sure of it. I put the coffee and Tv on at the same time, then I cleared away some empty bottles and got the frypan out, mushy eggs coming up. They were all in the nudo when they come out as I said it was a case of who is the biggest and best, except for Carlos he had put his shorts on. I placed the coffee on the table and then a stack of toast and what I deemed as good honest bacon and eggs. "If you want more you will have to get it yourselves." I took my plate out of the oven then sat to feed some egg to our son. "Has anyone got any plans for today?" "Yes Antonio, we are going into the warehouse to check the orders," Leon said. "We can come with you I want to see how mine is going." "I will come too I want to watch my girls work." I laughed. So it was decided that we should all go and do some work today. I will probably be sitting with grandad and he can show me how well "his" business is going. Lukas wasn't too happy when we left but he will improve when he sees the tvs in my workroom. We walked slowly up the street and ran into Alice she had just been to the supermarket. "Did you hear?" "Hear what?" "Anna had her baby at four this morning, popped out just like that." She snapped her fingers. "What?" "She had her little boy." "Awesome, that's just awesome, is everything all right?" "Yes mother and son are good, I am going in to see her after lunch." "We will all be there, Gianni maybe you had better go back and get the van." He did just that and caught up with us at the warehouses. I talked to the ladies they were getting along just fine with the orders and grandad said our businesses will recover from my overspending, I wasn't to worry too much. I signed some paperwork then I made up a couple of large bunch of flowers for Anna. Gianni was sitting in his staff room signing stuff and when he finished his work we decided to go see the boys, they were also in their staff room but they were having a wine or two. "We have done it all, now we are having morning tea and celebrating a new nephew's arrival." "Where's Matteo?" "He's on the forklift shifting pallets around to make it easier for us." I looked over at the machine and sure enough, he was reorganizing the warehouse. "Have you offered him a job yet?" "No Antonio, we thought he may like to work in the café, but he can choose where he works." "Maybe he won't want to and might go back to Italy," I said. Has he said something Antonio?" "No, I was just thinking out loud." "Okay, are we all ready? Let's go see our new nephew." I think Gianni was eager to get to the hospital. We loaded ourselves into the van and he drove off. There was never much to do at the warehouses, everything ran smoothly in all three of them. I think the paperwork Gianni was doing was a survey for the local council. We found Anna's room and had luck because bubs was next to her in his crib, Gino had been crying because his eyes were red I guess it's an emotional time for him. "Hi boys, thank god that's over and done with, God that was hard work." Anna smiled and we all took it in turns to kiss and congratulate her. I hugged Gino when he stood up and he seemed speechless but so proud. "Name Gino, has he got a name yet?" I wanted to know. "Samuel, that's as far as we have got for now," Gino said. "Well hello baby Sam, nice to meet you at long last." I didn't want to touch him because he's brand new and god knows what diseases I have picked up today. That was short-lived when Gino picked him up and he was celebrated and passed around to everyone. I placed the flowers into a vase and then I sat with him and introduced him to his cousin Lukas. They talked a bit but Sam's eyes were still firmly shut so he didn't see Lukas kiss him but he must have felt it. Anna was so relieved it was all over and when some of her old workmates came in the room got very crowded so we all left, she will be home in a couple of days anyway and then we get Sam to ourselves. Back at home we did the usual thing and sat outside the boy's bedroom, their setup was a bit more colorful than ours, it was a happy place to be in. We talked about Sam and how proud Gino was. I received a phone call from him later on, he was at home and on the steps waiting for us so we all piled into the lift and went to see him. There was a crowd there and everyone was so excited for him, he had to clear the hospital room out Anna needed some rest, she sent him home also because she would be sleeping anyway. Glasses were clinked and congratulations were offered, Alice was beaming because she gets another baby to look after and Sabine was trying to hold onto Lukas but he wanted Alice. She gave up in the end and glared at Lukas's new Nona. "How is your little frock shop going anyway Sabine?" I thought I would make small talk to distract her. "Good Antonio, I have a shipment coming next week it will be in Gianni's container I can't wait to get some new stock. "It will fly out the door." "Yes my friend, I have extended my designers for the next order they know what I want and can place their twist on styles and fabrics." "How are Ramone and Alessio going I must ring them." "Alessio is standing on the board now, he still has to have someone behind him but they are saying he does eighty percent himself. I am so happy for them both." "Good, it all has worked out all right then." Iris turned up in a taxi and was carrying a bottle and glass, a chair was produced and she greeted everyone and passed a gift over to Gino. "Just something small Gino, I will wait until I see what you need baby-wise and get it later." "I think we are well and truly set up Iris but thank you, this is the only gift required I will pass it onto Anna tonight." "You're going back?" "Yes I have to see my son again, I miss him already." He grinned and looked at Gianni. Tommaso and Maxie appeared with a big container of biscuits and cheese so napkins were passed around and we dined on their tasty nibbles. "Everything settled in now boys?" Sabine asked. "Yes Sabine, we are well set up dad took us shopping and we filled in the blank spots, it's wonderful being in our very own place." "Good sons," She smiled at her two new boys. Matteo only had one drink and a few biscuits he was more interested in talking to Carlos about his childhood, I was trying to listen but you know these Italians they are a little loud sometimes, especially when there is a celebration going on. Gino was passing out the wine at the passer-by's and they were stopping to salute him. His chest couldn't get any bigger as he blushed his way through it all. Matteo said it was just like home, he used to sit on his parent's steps and they did much the same, then he got a little reflective. "You can go home to see them if you like Matteo," "I have rung them several times Antonio, they are happy I am happy, one day I will bring them here they haven't been out of the country or the village much." "Good, we have plenty of room for them to stay." "What are you going to do with your new apartment Antonio?" "I don't know yet, when I take ownership I will have a think about it, why do you want to move in?" "No I was just wondering that's all." "I hope he stays with me, grandad will get crazy if I rent it out to family cheap, he is still riding my back for leasing my old one to Maxie and Tommaso, but the truth be known he was happy inside I had helped them out. Grandads isn't a mean man he's just careful where I am concerned. Angelo came by with a present and Gino had a small stack of them by now, he sat and had a vino, and Matteo couldn't stop looking at him, his sleek long straight black hair showcased his square jaw and superb full lips, no wonder the ladies hunt him down. I winked at Matteo and he put on a sad face but a funny thing happened while they were talking Angelo suddenly stopped mid-sentence, it was like he had forgotten what he was talking about. No he's too young and Matteo is maybe too eager to find a lover. When he regained his composure he started talking to Maxie about work and Iris was in Tony's ear he had been neglecting her and his duties these past couple of weeks. "Why don't you move in with me Sabine, I'm sure I won't get in the way?" "Thank you Iris I will think about it." "I get lonely in that big old house I don't mind in the least there's stacks of room." "Well I do have to think about finding something Iris, Tony has already asked me to move in with him it's just I don't want to leave Nina on her own." "Tell her to come too." I think Iris is a bit lonely on her own and I get the feeling she would love a house full of housemates to look after. "He looks almost like Gianni Antonio." I heard Angelo whisper. "Who?" "Matteo." "Yes he does they have similar jaw bones and the eyes are the same and hair." "He's going to break someone's heart one day." "He's not like that Angelo, he's looking for his forever partner." "Is he gay?" "Yes Angelo but you wouldn't know it." "I suppose not." He drifted off again. I think Angelo has a man crush on Gianni's brother. It's not heard of in this day and age, but poor Angelo, Matteo would destroy his bottom in one session. I think. Tony and Sabine were talking quietly, then she got up to use her phone I think she is maybe calling Nina her long-time friend. I winked at Iris and she puffed up, I would have tried to find her a housemate if I had of known she was that bored with her own company. If Nina moves that will leave Sabine's apartment vacant but I don't see her doing that, she's well set up for her business there. "How many bedrooms do you have Iris?" "Six Antonio and a small side apartment with two in it." "Wow I heard it was a big house but I didn't think that big." "You must come over for afternoon tea soon Antonio and I will give you the grand tour." "I will for sure how's next Monday suit?" "Perfect will you bring the boys?" "If you want, of course I will." "Good we will have a garden party then. It's been a long time since I have organized one." Then she said. "Garden party at mine next Monday boys, bring nothing but your selves we will start at one." She got a clap and cheers, I guess all she had to do was offer to cook and her house will be full of chatter. "Us too?" Maxie said. "All of you, and it wouldn't be a party without you boys." She winked. They looked pretty pleased with themselves, I suppose this will be their first invitation into social life. I was looking forward to it also, it's been too long and we should have done it ages ago she's been so good to Gianni and Angelo. "Will you come Angelo?" "Of course Antonio, how could I miss this event." Sabine came back and winked, she told me later she will move in but she wants to see Iris's place first she doesn't want to impose. "You have a lot in common Sabine and I believe her house is beautiful." "It's not that Antonio, I was thinking more would we have our own space." More winks. "She has a two-bedroom flat attached to it." Now she's smiling. Gino got a phone call and had to leave, both mother and son were awake, Gianni handed the van keys over to him because his truck is hard to park at the hospital. He took off and we all went upstairs and two lift loads placed everyone on our balcony. The boys handed more drinks out and Gianni and I leaned on the railing as we talked. "Have you offered him a job yet?" "Yes Antonio at the café he wants to work there." "Good, I think he will bring in some new trade." I grinned. "Umm it seems I have to have a talk with you again Antonio Cartasso, my lips are here." He pointed to them and I kissed him gratefully. Alice put Lukas to bed and Maxie helped Tommaso down to their flat, he isn't used to drinking so much. Iris left late I think she was still waiting for an answer from Sabine. Eventually, I had to put her in Matteo's bed, he can sleep with us. Sabine and Tony went home and I thought I heard Iris singing, I hope she doesn't get up and do a small show. "Move over, you know you can't be here Antonio will miss you," Leon said. "But I love you guys too," Matteo answered, he had crawled in-between Carlos and Leon tonight and wasn't budging, I will miss him. "Carlos are you asleep?" "Not yet my Leon, I miss you." "Damn you Matteo you spoil everything." Leon wasn't happy as he jumped out of bed and took Carlos's hand, they left for their room after some very colorful Italian was thrown about, Gianni was laughing his head off and I snuggled up to him. Mateo must have got lonely and crawled over to my side Gianni pushed me over to the side of the bed again and laughed more. I woke up with Leon and Carlos next to me and Gianni had been pushed over to Matteo's arms, that's better I get to stroke Carlos's ass. I heard a groan coming from the family room so I went to see if Iris wanted a headache pill. She was sitting at the table watching the daybreak and of course rubbing her head. "What happened?" "You had one too many tastings my lovely, take this pill." She downed it with a sip of coffee. "I had a lovely night Antonio, slept like a log." "Good, did you get an answer out of Sabine?" "Sort of she wants to come and look first, maybe my house isn't good enough for her." "No it's not that, she wants to see if there will be some space for her and Tony to be natural." "Oh is that the problem, well they can have the house and I will move to the flat." "I think the flat would be fine for them Iris it's next to the pool." I winked she laughed. Carlos was the first out looking for coffee then Leon and Matteo all nudo, Iris didn't know where to look she seemed to push herself down into her chair. I was laughing then Gianni came out he saw her then ran back in to put something on. Leon and Carlos went to sit on the balcony to catch some sun and Matteo sat right next to her. She was bright red as I tried to hide my face. "Sorry Iris it's the Italian thing, quite natural for them to be like this around people." "I see, is he quite normal Antonio I haven't seen one that big before." Matteo laughed. "Giannis is bigger but no they both are above average my lady." "Really?" She's interested now. "Show Iris Gianni." He dropped his shorts and she nearly screamed. "Well I never, my husband was tiny compared to these two bulls, how much have I missed out on Antonio, but I did love him" "Boys your upsetting our guest put something on." I went into the bedroom and found shorts then handed them out. "We were just having some fun with Iris Antonio, you spoil all our fun," I smirked at Carlos and said she was a frail old lady and shouldn't be subjected to their ample groin delights. Iris said she didn't mind in the least and she might stay a few days. The boys from downstairs came up the fire escape they had decided because we were such good fun yesterday they were going to cook breakfast. I hand Tommaso a pill and he was so grateful they hadn't got any when they went shopping, I gave him a blister pack to take home. Iris was still talking to Matteo about dick sizes I think when gran arrived, she took one look at the kids and shooed them out of the kitchen they were making a mess. Grandad sat with Iris and that spoiled all her fun because now gran is here the t-shirts appeared. We all had work today and gran was cleaning I was about to say she should only do our bedroom and bathroom but I lost that idea because of the last time. Lukas was dressed and bathed for his day I have no idea who did that but he smelt okay as the TV came into life. "Can you drop me off at home boys?" "Certainly we can but I thought you wanted to stay." She looked sideways at grandad and gran and blushed. "I have things to do for my garden party." Which included an invitation for my Nona and Nono, who were both very happy to come along. I wanted to warn Iris the boys swim in the nudo but I will wait and she can have a nice surprise. I also wondered if Maxie and Tommaso would do the same, yes I am a pervert. Breakfast was divine and gran lapped up the compliments gratefully, grandad said he would get on with baby proofing this apartment once it's cleared, Gianni objected and said he will do it tonight, grandad laughed at him and said he will do it anyway. The kids left because they were opening today and then we followed shortly after leaving Iris standing at her front door, her house is beautiful, I can't wait to see the inside properly. Shorts were the uniform again and Matteo's fit him like a tailored glove both him and Gianni got a lot of looks from the early market shoppers, news must have got around because when the lights went on so did the coffee machine, the orders were coming in fast and there was a take your time attitude amongst the ladies and some men. I did my thing and put the trash out Alice gave me a sad face and went to make up some blooms. I went to Gino's stall and talked to him about Anna and little Sam. Pat was invited to Iris's, I told her I would message the address to her. She made coffee but I wanted to get back and make sure my husband and new brother-in-law hadn't found themselves being fondled. Matteo was the main drawcard today he was so nice to everyone he even sat with a few guys and talked to them, I think he's finding out there's a gay club not far away, and an invitation was in the air me thinks. Sabine came for coffee as her girls opened the shop she sat with me and I told her I had done her dirty work for her and asked Iris about the small flat attached to her house. I told her iris understood she wanted the company more than anything and Sabine made her mind up to move in. "How far has Roberto got with the divorce baby?" "He's almost done Antonio, there isn't anything to do except register it at the courthouse, then we wait for the media." "Do you think they will crucify you both?" "No Antonio, they are like everyone else they are concerned we will be divorcing and will want to know what happened. I will tell them life happened, we wanted to lead different lives then I will announce that we are semi-retiring from the events business and push our manor house if I can." "Good, a little free advertising doesn't go astray sometimes." "Yes Antonio, we are so far away from Italy anyway I don't think they will bother to chase me over here, Ramone is the one they will hound if they smell rats." "Will he and Alessio be able to cope?" "Of course, they have decided to come out anyway by living together there won't be any problem." "I was worried they may get some crap thrown their way.' "Not in Italy son, we are more open than here, where is my grandson?" "Cleaning day, he's happy." "Okay, but he must be here tomorrow Antonio or I won't be happy." "He will be." Sabines back. I looked over at Matteo, Gianni has joined him and they both were being chatted up by some gay boys I didn't know. I left Sabine to her own devices and went inside to serve some wine to a customer. The boys were busy helping out some others and I rang up my sale and went onto the next one. "I have a government order here is Gianni around?" "He won't be a moment sir, I'll get him." I was happy someone wanted him, now I can break up their little get-together. I grabbed Gianni's arm and turned him around, he smiled broadly. "Having fun my devoted husband?" "Yes Antonio, these guys are from Sydney and they heard all about this café and wanted to meet us." "Yeah a likely story, we will talk later, but for now you have some business to discuss with the gentleman at the counter, he has a government order." "Okay will you sit with me?" "Of course my dearest husband." I sneered. "Antonio we were just having some fun together." "I am glad you have some fun husband because when I get you alone you are going to get your ass kicked from here to eternity." "Antonio?" He was confused. I made him sit at a table then I grabbed the customer and Gianni's order book and sat with them. Coffee was ordered and the fun began. "These orders are for three embassies, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Can you ship directly to them?" "When do they need them?" "When you can Gianni, but before Christmas, many will be used as gifts." "I can do them from here but it will leave me short, there is a shipment that's about to leave I will send them directly from Italy I think." "Good." He grinned and handed out the three orders. Gianni couldn't speak they wanted three containers full for each embassy. I took the paperwork then looked it up on the laptop yes he can fill this order but it will leave him little to import for himself. "We can do it, the shipments will leave within a week, that okay Nick?" "Good Antonio, and thank you, please invoice each embassy via this address the account will be paid immediately." "Will do." "Is he always like this?" "Yes he still can't understand how popular his wines are, it will sink in soon." He laughed and replied. "They usually get their wine allocations in February, but these three have run out. So I will see you around the end of December make sure you have at least thirty containers ready to go by Feb." "What just happened Antonio?" "We got you drunk and fucked you." "No you didn't, did you?" I laughed. See Gianni I am so much fun, better than your new mates.
