Author's note: This chapter kind of had a mind of its own. So happy reading!

Betty came into Mode on Monday excited it had been four wonderful months with Gio and she was happy. Betty had stayed over at Gio's house and it made getting to work a lot easier than if she had left from Queens. She liked waking up next to him in the morning and her shower this morning was fairly entertaining.

Daniel walked into his office and noticed his assistant had a permanent smile on her face as of lately. He knew it had to do with one certain sandwich boy or man whatever you want to call him. He picked up the phone to call Betty when she walked in his office with his messages.

"Good morning, Daniel. Here is your messages, and don't forget you have a meeting with Alexis at 12:00 today." Betty announced

"Good morning, Betty. You seem to be in a great mood today," Daniel said as he gestured for Betty to sit down.

"I'm in a very good mood today. I was also wondering if I could get off at least an hour earlier today," Betty asked

"Do you mind telling me why?"

"Gio and I are having dinner at his mom's house tonight for his birthday tomorrow." Betty let out as she waited for Daniel to reply.

"Yeah that's fine. You also can take tomorrow off for his birthday. All I have tomorrow is a few business meetings with advertisers," Daniel explained as he stared at Betty. She was extremely ecstatic as she came around and gave him a big hug.

"Thank you so much, Daniel. This means so much to me." Betty squealed as she went back to getting things done to leave early today.

Betty had been so busy trying to get things done for work she had completely worked through lunch.

Gio noticed and decided to surprise her as he came up to her desk from behind and covered her eyes.

"Guess who," Gio teased.

"Hmm, Brad Pitt," Betty joked as she knew exactly who it is.

"Very funny, Betty now guess again,"

"I know it's you, Gio." Betty said as she turned around and gave him a kiss.

"I saw you had worked through lunch, so, I made you a sandwich." Gio announced as he placed the sandwich on her desk.

"Thank you, I am trying to get everything done so I can leave early today. Plus I get tomorrow off for your birthday."

"So, does that mean you're staying with me tonight?" Gio asked.

"Maybe, I'll have to check with my other boyfriends to see if it's ok," Betty teased as she chuckled slightly.

"Well, you tell those other boyfriends that they're going to have to share." He loved their playful banter that they could do so easily with one another.

"Well, I will when you tell your other girlfriends that they have to share too." Betty announced as she leaned forward and kissed his nose.

"Hmm, how about I just get rid of them?" Gio asked.

"Sounds like a good idea." Betty said as she smiled at Gio.

"So, what time are you getting off tonight," Gio asked.

"An hour before I usually get off,"

"Ok, I have to go back to the deli but I will pick you up at your house at 7:00."

"Ok, love you." Betty let out as Gio kissed her lips.

"Love you too!"

Betty watched as he exited the building and went back into Daniel's office.

"Hey, Daniel, do you have those tickets that I needed you to get me?" Betty asked. She had wanted to get Gio Yankee tickets for the season opener but they were extremely expensive. Daniel knew a guy who could get her good seats for cheap, so, he told her he would get them for her.

"Yeah, here they are." He handed her an envelope with two tickets in it. The tickets were behind home plate in the first row.

Betty let out a squeal when she looked at the tickets.

"Daniel, I cannot believe you got these seats. Gio is going to flip and I can't wait to see his face." Betty announced as she gave Daniel a hug.

"It was no problem, Betty. Plus the guy who I got those tickets from owed me."

"Well, thank you so much!" Betty said as she went back to work.

When Betty came home after work she went up stairs to start getting her stuff together to stay at Gio's. She had gotten Gio two other gifts besides the tickets but knew the tickets would be his favorite. One of the gifts she bought she wanted to give to him tonight after they had dinner with his family.

After she got her bag ready and Gio's presents together she started to get herself ready. She pulled a simple black dress out of her closet and a tan bra and panties that had pretty black flowers on it. She walked into the bathroom and started the bath tub to take a bubble bath to relax some.

An hour later Betty stepped out of the bath smelling like vanilla and feeling really relaxed almost too relaxed. She decided she would take a small thirty minute nap as she lied down in bed with nothing but her robe on.

Gio got to Betty's house at seven exactly as he knocked on the door. Hilda answered the door with a smile on her face.

"Hey, Gio, come on in Betty's still getting ready upstairs. You could go up to her room if you want," Hilda let out.

"Ok." Gio announced as he ran upstairs to Betty's room. The door to Betty's room was slightly open as he sneaked in. Betty was slipping her dress over her head and got a peak of her matching bra and panties. He smiled as he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Hey, beautiful," Gio softly said as his breath hit her neck.

Betty smiled as she turned around to face him and put her arms around his neck.

"Hey, you," Betty said as she kissed his lips.

Gio pulled her close to his body and ran his fingers through her hair.

"Betty, we need to go," Gio exclaimed as he pulled back from Betty.

"I know I just had to kiss you." Betty let out as she turned around to grab her bag to go.

"Believe me, Betty I could spend the whole night kissing you. I just told my mom we would be at her house in ten minutes."Gio explained as he grabbed Betty's bag as they exited her room. They walked down stairs, so, Betty could say goodbye to her family.

"Bye guys, I love you. I will see you later on tomorrow."

"Bye, Mija, and bye, Gio,"

"Bye, Betty, and Gio,"

"Bye, Aunt Betty, and Gio," Betty and Gio heard the goodbyes as they left the house and smiled.

"You know my family adores you, especially my dad,"

"Well I like your family, especially your dad." Gio said as he opened the door to his new red Ford truck.

They arrived at Gio's mom's house five minutes late. They came into the house and could hear laughter in the kitchen. The whole family was standing around drinking wine and enjoying each other's company.

"Hey guys." Gio let out as they walked into the kitchen. Everyone turned around to the young couple that came into the kitchen.

"Hey, Gio and Betty, dinner is almost ready." Carmen let out as she walked up and gave Gio and Betty a hug.

Carmen looked over at Betty as if she hadn't ever seen her before.

"Did you lose weight since I saw you last? You were already skinny enough," Carmen asked as she placed a hand on Betty's belly.

"No, Mrs. Rossi, I've just been really busy at work lately," Betty answered as she got slightly flustered from the attention.

All the men had exited the kitchen as the women helped finish dinner and dessert. Nicolette had handed Betty a glass of wine.

"Ma, Betty and Gio are having more sex than anyone of us in this room. Betty is bound to lose some weight." Sophia announced making Betty spit out her wine. No one else seemed to be affected by that comment.

"Well, I know that. I was just trying to be subtle unlike you." Carmen let out as Nicolette hit Sophia over the head with the back of her hand.

"I'm sorry, Betty. I'm trying to live vicariously through you and my little brother since I'm not getting any."

Betty giggled lightly and turned a rosy color as all the women sans Nella were listening intently to Betty.

"It's completely ok, Sophia. I'm just not used to having that much attention on me that's all." Betty announced. As Gio came into the kitchen and winked at her.

"Betty, why don't you come in the living room and help me set the table?" Gio asked as he knew his family was giving her the third degree about their relationship.

"Ok," Betty let out as they walked into the dining room.

"Sorry about my family, Betty. I know they can be a little much at times." Gio said as she smiled at him.

"It's ok, Gio. I really like your family. Sophia reminds of Hilda how blunt she is at times."

"Yeah, well we all got that bluntness from our dad." Gio exclaimed

Betty saw that talking about his dad was hard. Betty knew his dad was a jerk for leaving Carmen with three kids and a baby on the way but it seems like Gio took it the hardest. Betty figured Gio would talk to her about his father when he was ready but tonight was not the night.

Dinner went relatively smooth and before they knew it everyone was asking for dessert. They brought out a cake with twenty seven candles on it and all sang a bad rendition of Happy Birthday to Gio.

"Hey, little bro, make a wish." Sophia announced as she saw Gio smile at Betty before he blew out his candles. Gio wished to spend the rest of his life with Betty.

They arrived at Gio's apartment and walked in a little after ten a clock. Betty went into Gio's room to put her bag away and get the present she wanted him to open tonight.

"Gio," Betty asked as she came back into the room.

"Yeah, I'm in the kitchen." Gio announced as he watched her walk into the kitchen.

"I wanted to give one of your gifts tonight." Betty said softly as she handed him a green blue bag from Tiffany's.

Gio looked at the bag and smiled as he placed the bag on the kitchen counter to open it better. He saw a box and opened that up then he pulled back the tissue paper. He noticed the platinum case had his name engraved in it as he opened that to reveal cards that were made especially for him.

"Business cards," Gio asked as he looked at the card. He loved them and couldn't wait to hand them out.

"I know they're stupid," Betty let out as she looked at Gio.

Instead of telling Betty how much he loved the cards he showed her how much he did. He kissed her with all the love he felt for her as his tongue invaded her mouth.

Betty let out a small moan as she felt Gio's hands roam her back.

"They're not stupid, Betty. I think there awesome and I cannot wait to give them to people." He said softly. Their foreheads were pressed together as Gio placed another kiss on Betty's pouty pink lips.

The next thing Betty knew she was wrapping her legs around Gio's waist and was being pressed against his bedroom wall.

Gio helped Betty out of her dress as he threw it on the floor.

Betty pretty much ripped his shirt open as she listened to the buttons go flying across the wood floors.

Gio was so incredibly turned on by the sight of Betty he didn't think he would last long.

"God, I want you so bad!" Gio growled as he grinded into her.

"I want you too." Betty whispered in his ear.

Gio removed Betty from the wall never breaking contact with her body as he laid her down on the bed.

Betty helped him out by removing her bra as she tossed it on the floor.

Gio unbuckled his belt on his pants and removed his jeans as he lied down on top of Betty. He kissed her neck and shoulder as felt Betty's hands glaze down his back and slip into his boxers.

Betty's fingers danced a long his butt before she started to remove his boxers from his body.

Gio's slipped his fingers through the waist band of her panties and removed them down her beautiful legs.

Gio couldn't control himself and felt like he was in high school again as he stared at Betty's naked body.

"Betty, I'm sorry but I have got to have you like right now." Gio said.

Betty rolled them over as Gio entered her body. She circled his hips as she looked into his coco colored eyes that were slightly dilated. She leaned down as she grinded her hips and kissed him.

Gio rolled them over when he felt like he was losing complete control. He rocked her slowly as Betty wrapped her legs around his waist. He felt like he was racing to completion and Betty was following him as every one of her muscles were tightening.

Betty bit down on his shoulder and cried out his name which came out muffled.

Gio pumped a couple more times into her body before his orgasm hit him. He collapsed onto her body as he kissed her lips softly.

Gio rolled off of her body as he turned on his side to face Betty.

Betty turned to face him as their legs were still tangled together.

Gio thought Betty looked beautiful totally blissed out, sweat glistening off her skin, her cheeks were still slightly flushed from arousal, and her lips were pink and swollen.

Betty smiled at Gio as she noticed how incredibly hot he was. He had sweat glistening off his abs, his eyes were still a darker brown, and his hair was a mess but to Betty he was a beautiful mess.
