professional as was expected. Arrigo still laughed to himself over an incident that occurred at a briefing in front of the entire team.
Sana was pissed that Williams was giving them a crappy two-day assignment as bodyguards when they had just completed the Takahashi job. She was ready for some reconnaissance work or a raid. Arrigo had tried to calm her and it only infuriated her further. Sana stood up and went to storm out of them room. When Arrigo called her name, she simply raised her arm behind her and flipped them all off.
He could only laugh at her. The guys wished him luck as the meeting ended and he went to find her.
Even now, in the car, he laughed aloud.
“What’s so funny?” Sana asked. Arrigo noted a half smile on her face as she drove.
“I wasn’t really expecting to have to buy all of that today.” Arrigo nodded toward the trunk of the car. He lied because he didn’t want to get her riled up.
“Me either. Hey, I’ll pay for half. I didn’t even think about it.” Sana sounded almost panicked which seemed odd to him. She never sounded panicked.
“I’ve got it covered.” Arrigo chuckled.
“No really, I’ll pay you back for part,” Sana insisted.
“Sana, it really doesn’t matter. I’ll tell you a secret if you don’t yell at me.” Sana had told him that she had inherited millions from her father, but she didn’t know he had saved and invested his earnings.
“What secret?” she scowled.
Arrigo leaned to her ear as she pulled into their parking garage.
“I have my own millions, thank you very much,” he whispered.
“Oh really! Well then why the hell are you working?” She put the car in park and looked over at him.
“The same reason you are.” Giving her a quick peck on her cheek , he turned to get out of the car.
As they carried everything up to their apartment , Arrigo explained how he had managed his money and since his parents didn’t need any he saved it.
They spent the evening unpacking the dishes and putting them away as well as their towels and making the bed.
“I’m going to shower before we get in.” Arrigo wanted to be nice and clean. He always liked the scent of freshly washed sheets. Clean sheet night. It made him smile for a moment, but nothing was better than being with Sana.
“Okay. I’m going to pick up some of the trash,” she replied.
“I can help with that first.” Arrigo definitely didn’t want her thinking that he was a slob or that she should clean up after him. Walking back toward her, he bent over to pick up an empty package.
Sana stopped him and pressed her hand against his chest. “I’ve got it. You go shower. Besides, when you get out I’ve got some grooming to do and you can entertain yourself for a little bit.”
Her smile told it all. Arrigo turned and walked back toward the bathroom to clean up and even shave. As he showered, he wondered if she would want a Christmas tree. He thought he might have to ask her. The last time he remembered having a tree that he helped decorate was in the fifth grade. That was the last Christmas he remembered as a kid. After that, his father treated him as a man. No more toys, just school and work.
Shaking off those long lost memories Arrigo turned off the water, stepped out of the sh ower so he could dry off, and went ask Sana about a tree.
“Would you want a tree—” Arrigo stopped midsentence when he found Sana standing in the bedroom with his coat draped over one arm and in the other she held a piece of paper and the small black box he had just bought. Arrigo felt his stomach twist into knots. How stupid did one person have to be to leave that in his pocket? He racked his brain with the numerous times he could have hidden it since they had returned from the store. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
“Are you out of your mind?” she snapped. Arrigo opened his mouth to speak but she shouted and cut him off again. “I mean really? You spent thirty-two thousand dollars? You must have had brain
