My heart fills and I pull her into a hug.
“You’re never going to have to find out, Angel. I swear it. You’re it for me. I fucking love you almost as much as I love fucking you”
She looks at me, her eyes wide. “I love you too, Nico,” she whispers shyly.
Those words from her lips fill me with resolve. I will solve this problem for her - for us.
Because she is my everything.
Once she’s dry, dressed in her pjs and tucked back into her bed, I go back to my room and open my laptop.
I’ll be damned if I leave a single stone unturned when it comes to this.
Christina is worth it. Our future is worth it.

Christina
I thought for sure that the mind-blowing orgasm Nico gave me would be enough to knock me out for the whole night.
When he tucked me in, I felt like I was relaxed enough to sleep for days.
But it’s 3am and I can’t sleep. My whole body feels restless. The weight of the situation I’m in presses down on me, making me feel wrecked.
Nico swore to me that he’d figure this out, but the little voice in my head keeps reminding me that promises get broken all the time. He loves me but… what if that changes down the road?
Promises like the one where I get to go to law school.
I need a plan of my own too.
Moonlight filters through the window, casting a delicate silver glow across the room, illuminating my turmoil and angst.
There has to be another option to this situation. Something we haven’t thought of yet. A way out.
I run my hand over my stomach, suddenly overcome by a nauseous sensation that bubbles viciously.
See, even my body is reacting to this… this… torture.
I stare at the ceiling as the minutes tick by.
Jimmy is… okay. He’s been nice to me and he’s conventionally attractive but there’s no spark. Nothing about him makes me excited or even intrigued.
He’s not the one I want, and he never will be.
I have no idea how to make my mom understand that. She held me while I cried for what felt like an hour. It was the longest time I’ve cried in my mom’s arms since I was a child.
I know she wants to understand, but I don’t think she ever will. “They” and “them” can be taken many ways, and I didn’t exactly go out of my way to make it clearer.
I flop over.
I still don’t understand why this burden must fall on me. Albert says I’m a Venitti now and this is my responsibility.
But why? Why now, and why Jimmy?
“Ugh,” I mutter to myself, punching my pillow. There’s no way I’m going to fall asleep.
I flop over again to check the time. It’s 3:15am.
