"Basically the whole situation is...Anthony told the five families that I was engaged to marry your sister, you don't fuck with the five families. I didn't see a way to avoid this. You know I still love your sister but, I'm afraid it's completely one sided. Anthony has thrust Lulu into this world that I don't want her to be part of. Being a mob wife isn't for the weak, there's so many things I have to teach her. I have to buy a big ass house to keep up appearance, you can keep the penthouse. I'm just sort of all over the place." Johnny sighed, sitting at Jake's with Ethan explaining why Lulu and Johnny had gotten married last night.

"Wow...that's a lot to unpack mate. How do you know the feelings are one sided? From where I sit...my sister was miserable with Dante. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise, I don't condone what Anthony did...but maybe you two can continue where you left off. Thank you, it'll be weird living by myself but I understand you have to do what you have to do. Speaking of, where is my sister?" Ethan was certain Lulu still loved Johnny.

"Yeah, I know. I've got to get moving fast. In order to really sell this marriage, we need a big wedding. Will you be my best man? Out of everyone, I couldn't think of a better friend than you. I would want you to be there, so would Lulu. Maybe so, I just haven't had time to really think about it. You know you can always come by, once we get settled." This would be a challenge but, he wanted to do this to protect the woman he loved. Maybe this would be a new beginning for both of them.

"Of course mate, I'm honored. Oh trust me, if there's one thing I love it's bugging the hell out of my sister." Ethan smirked, earning a chuckle from Johnny.

"You called?" Lulu raised one brow, before sitting down in front of them.

"How is the Mrs. Zacchara doing?" Ethan smirked.

"I broke into Dante's loft and I'm hurting. I squeezed through a window my ass was way too big for. It was the only way I could get my shit, because Dante was NOT letting me in willingly. Big fucking baby." Lulu rolled her eyes, annoyed.

"You do know who your husband is. Right?" Johnny chuckled, meeting her eyes.

"Yes, but I'm an independent woman and will be treated as such...I am going to have to unlearn that I'm guessing." Lulu crossed her arms.

"That's why we love you, sis." Ethan chuckles, taking a long sip of his beer.

"Not around me but, in front of everyone your about to meet? Hell yeah." Johnny knew this would be hard for her.

"It's okay, I'll adjust. Whatever I need to do." Lulu shrugged like it was no big deal.

"Why didn't I marry you sooner?" Johnny teased her.

"Because your dumb?" Lulu suggested.

"I can vouch for that." Ethan chuckled, Johnny shot a glare at both.

"You two are SO mean. By the way, you are going to have to start respecting the mobsters around here." Johnny sighed, knowing that would be the biggest challenge.

"Sonny and Jason, too?* Lulu sighed, being nice to her godfather made her want to puke.

"Yeah, I've made a peace treaty with Corinthos and Morgan. It's the only way this is going to work. As much as I dislike Corinthos it's for the greater good. I had to fill them in on the situation, if we stand united it will work better. People will actually buy our marriage." Johnny nods.

"I get it, I do. This is going to be a challenge but, I'm willing to try. By the way, your father saw me completely naked this morning and I'm traumatized." Lulu agreed, than making a face.

"How the FUCK did that happen?" Both Johnny and Ethan gasped.

"I was taking a shower at the penthouse and I heard the door open, I assumed it was Johnny so I asked if he was back for round two. Nobody said anything so I pull back the shower curtain and Anthony is standing there, and I kind of just froze. Anthony definitely saw EVERYTHING. I am so embarrassed." Lulu covered her face, Johnny angrily shook his head.

"Wait. You two had sex last night?" Ethan asked, wondering why Johnny doubted Lulu had feelings if they had.

"Well, yeah." Lulu shrugged, what was his deal?

"I locked the penthouse! How did he even get in? I am...so sorry." Johnny wished for the millionth time that he had a normal father.

"Stop apologizing for Anthony, he does what he does. It's just... embarrassing because an old man saw me completely naked." Lulu sighed, shaking her head.

"Shit sis, I would be too." Ethan was at a loss for words.

"I know, I just wish it wasn't like that. Anthony is always doing something that I have to clean up, I've been dealing with it since I was a kid. I'm never going to do anything about it because he's my father, it just takes its toll." As he'd gotten older, Johnny had even less patience.

"I know, that's why we're in this situation. It's not like I can't stand you or anything, nothing could be further from the truth. It just kind of uprooted my life, all of a sudden I have this secret I can't even tell Maxie. I guess that's how you and Ethan have been living." This was hard for Lulu but, she acted like it wasn't.

"I know." Johnny hadn't wanted to put Lulu through all this, but they were at the point of no return.

"There's no reason this has to be a death sentence, we're fun!" Lulu couldn't talk about gloom and doom anymore, Johnny always said she reminded him of sunshine.

"There's nobody else I'd rather marry." Johnny threw her a half smirk.

"You two are SO hot for each other." Ethan thought to himself.

"Oh Lulu, this is Marc. You'll be seeing a lot of him, Marc works for me as a bodyguard." A baldheaded Roman man walked towards them, a polite smile on his face.

"Mrs. Zacchara." Marc offers out his hand, and Lulu shook it.

"Oh honey, you can call me Lulu. I don't mind Mrs. Zacchara but, if I'll be seeing you on a daily basis than I feel like we should be on first name basis." Lulu smiled up at the man.

"You'll like Lu, she's way nicer than me." Johnny smirked.

"Little ole me nicer than Johnny Zacchara? Never." Lulu playfully smirked, making Johnny's heart flutter.

"Keep it together, Zacchara." Johnny thought to himself.

"I talk a lot, you'll get used to me." Lulu sighed, and the men chuckled.

"You know, Mrs. Zacchara does have a nice ring to it, rolls off the tounge." Lulu smirked at Johnny, probably knowing exactly what she was doing. Johnny told Marc that he could leave.

"Lu, you don't know what you are doing to me. Hearing that makes me want to take you just like I did last night, Johnny blamed it on the alcohol but it was really love and lust mixed together." Johnny thinks to himself, as Ethan carried on a conversation with Lulu.

"Alright mate, I'm going to cut out of here. I'll see you soon." Ethan patted his back, bringing Johnny on the back.

"Oh, are you scared to know about my sex life?" Lulu mocked Ethan.

"Your my sister, it's weird! I'll be going now." Ethan shook his head, leaving the bar.

"You were good last night. Really good, ten star review." Lulu smirked, Johnny tried not to blush.

"Oh am I making THE Johnny Zacchara blush?" Lulu teased him.

"I'm not blushing!" Johnny continued to deny the obvious.

"Yes you are!" Lulu argued, a smirk appearing on her face.

"Shut up." Johnny shook his head, looking at the table.

"I figured you deserved that much, you did agree to marry me after all. I tried really hard, actually." Johnny finally met her eyes.

"Oh, you tried hard? Something tells me even if you hadn't, I would have still had a good time. That's the definition of Johnny Zacchara, a good time. You are the best sexual partner I've ever had, you don't hurt to look at either."
