Chapter Picnic
Next morning at six they all were ready to leave for the picnic, which was still a surprise for Autumn and boys. All their bags were put in to the trunk by Gabriel.
'Boys, hop on' holding the back seats door for them, Gabriel motioned for them to get in the car, excited they climbed in to the car and settle themselves to the either sides of the seats to view the scenery as it was portrait by their daddy. They wore the same white t-shirt with navy blue shorts and white sneakers on their foot, making sure to carry a small backpack with them which was filled with the lots of snacks which they intended to munch while on the drive.
Autumn wore sleeveless dress that was just above her ankle, and sunflowers were printed on the dress making it a perfect dress for the picnic, for today she had specially curled her hairs and left them free, wearing a boater hat over them she was looking stunning in her very light makeup.
Whereas Alessandro was wearing a half sleeves button up shirt which was fully printed with forest trees, beneath it was white shorts and black flip flops, sunglasses to cover his green shiny orbs. The little family was all ready to leave, giving the last instructions to Gabriel to follow while he was away, he looked back to glance his family that was already settled in the car and was now waiting for him.
'Make sure to not call me until it is not very urgent, my phone will be on silent so I won't be immediately available' Gabriel nodded his head.
'Don't worry, we will manage, you should enjoy your family time' a sweet smile made its way on Alessandro's lips, his brown curly hair was shinning in the rays of sunrise, Autumn's breath hitched at the charming look of him, she knew that he had stolen her heart already but her ego was restricting her to accept the fact. She could see him talking with Gabriel, his soft lips were moving in sync when all of sudden he removed the glasses and fixed his eyes at her, she could hear her heartbeat after her heart pick the pace at his glance, but when he winked at her, she felt the lots of butterflies flying in her stomach, her cheeks flushed in red instantly.
'Daddy, we are getting late. Uncle Gabriel let our dad go' Ethan and Logan both yelled together getting the attention of his father and his assistant, a chuckle escapes from their mouth.
'Your kids are smart and had the same temper like you' a proud smile flashed on Alessandro's lip.
'I think I should go now, otherwise angry mama will come out to scold me' he patted him on the back as an indication of his leave and turned to walk towards his car.
'Sorry, I was just giving him last minute instructions' once he was inside the car and closed the door, he looked at all of them and apologized.
'It is fine they are very excited actually' Autumn was still in the effect of her emotions hence she diverted his attention towards the boys quickly.
'They should be the place is awesome you guys will definitely like it' boys clapped in joy jumping on the back seat.
'Okay, now sit down I am starting the drive.' Putting on the glasses back on his eyes, he stares back on boys to make sure they have sit down on their seats and are not jumping anymore, he does not want them to get hurt.
'Did they had breakfast?' the car exited Martini mansion and was now running smoothly on the straight road when Alessandro turned his head and asked from Autumn, she was also looking straight on the road and was startled by his sudden question.
'Huh? Yeah, no they haven't. I had prepared sandwiched and cookies for them they will eat on the way' he nodded.
'Yes daddy, mommy makes very delicious food. Want to try some?' opening the box, and taking out the sandwich, kids offer it to their father.
'Of course!' extending his hand he grabs the sandwich and took a bite, the sandwich was really yummy, juicy and creamy, soon he finished, kids were also busy in feeding their tummy.
'You are good in many things, I am impressed' Autumn bit the corner of her lips at his compliment, she was blank and couldn't understand how to react at this.
'Um, thanks' she said nervously, the stupid emotions and butterflies were making her to act shyly in front of him.
'You ate?' Since Alessandro was more focused towards driving he missed the expressions on her face, as he peaks just once and then again looks back on the road.
'Yup, I did' Alessandro was satisfied that they had food with them and will eat well because the ride was at least four hours long.
'Take a nap, I will wake you all up' seeing the sleepy eyes of his sons he advised them, as if they were waiting for his approval, Ethan and Logan both lay down on the cozy seats and drifts to sleep instantly.
'You can sleep too, the ride is long' Autumn shook him off and was looking at the view outside, but as the time passes her eyelids fall and before she could have realized she was snoring slowly, Alessandro looked at the beauty beside him, for a moment his heart suggested to kiss softly her plump lips but he didn't want to take advantage of her sleep, he already had made up his mind that he will talk with her today about their relation and will agree her to give him a chance. Breaking the contact with her face, he speeds up so they can reach early to the place as he had planned so many things to do and he was afraid if the weekend would be enough for the enjoyment and their family time, and the time he wanted to spend with her alone.
