Shut Up and Dance || Giovanni and Jackie

Jackie couldn’t deny his words. Gio had always seemed much closer to his grandfather than his actual father. It was a shame that it had to be like that, but it was better than having no one in your own family on your side. She simply nodded, trying to reassure him with her touch as she lightly stroked his cheek with her thumb. He always had her, if nothing else.
She wasn’t one hundred percent sure what to tell him about his father. Giovanni was right. It was his father’s problem. He’d have to handle it like the man he always claimed to be. “I understand,” she said when it was becoming clear that the subject was making him less than comfortable.
She smiled, hoping to lighten the mood even just a little bit. “I guess if nothing else it makes for good blackmail?”
Giovanni couldn’t help but break out in a smile, and then his smile turned into a laugh. “You always get me,” he said, leaning in and kissing her.
He stroked her face. “I’m waiting for the right moment to let him know I know. That one vein in his forehead may burst,” he said, smiling at the thought. Giovanni didn’t know when this resentment for his father had started, but Giovanni was done being afraid of him. “And that’s why we can have sex wherever we want. Even on top of the baby grand for all I care.” Giovanni smirked.
Maybe he would be home a lot more often now, just to spite his father. Either way, it was time to start doing the things he wanted, the way he wanted. This was only just the beginning.
