Furio returned to the brothel and then called Salvatore Casertano to
tell him the favor for Don Turi was done, and that he would be returning
tomorrow. He slept in a back room of the brothel and while at first many of the
women had come onto the handsome enforcer, they quickly learned he was a dark,
quiet and dour man who usually politely but firmly brushed them off. Furio’s
heart and soul belonged only to one woman and it always would. He was older,
wiser and had sown any wild oats long ago, he now wanted to have a partner and
best friend in his life, he had no room for any mistresses or comares.
He knew many men especially here in Italy were not as promiscuous
with the mistresses like those Mafioso’s in the States. He remembered with a
grunt of disgust how Tony Soprano would put his dick in just about anything
with a pussy, the man had no honor and no respect in Furio’s eyes. He was a
piss poor boss and in many ways Furio had far more respect for Carmine
Lupertazzi and his underboss Johnny Sacrimoni from the New York families, there
were two men who had the honor and dignity of the true old world bosses.
The next morning Furio once again left before daybreak, passing the one
lone bodyguard who was half asleep behind the bar. “So long Nico,” he reached
out and playfully slapped the man on the leg waking him with a start.
“Uh! What, what?” Nico instantly shot awake and saw Furio’s grinning
face in front of him. “Madonna! You
trying to give me a heart attack Furio?” he stretched but smirked back at
Furio. “You are leaving now? It’s only like 4 am.”
“Yeah, I’m done here for now. Thanks for everything eh? Tell Mario
thanks as well.” Furio gave the man a brief but warm handshake.
“Anytime, glad you are on our side now.” Nico stood up and went to go
fire up some coffee, “If you hang around a few, I can make you some espresso
before you go?”
“I appreciate the offer, but I need to get
going.” Furio was anxious to get back home to Aria and out of the city. He was
sure Annalisa’s corpse had been discovered by now. He waved and walked out to
his car, his step light and his heart filled with inner happiness he had not
felt in years.
He pulled up at the guesthouse
just as the sun was beginning to rise up over the misty foothills, scattering
the pockets of fog and mist as it brightened the land. He quietly entered the
guesthouse and stalked nearly silently to the bedroom, he could see his Aria
asleep on her side holding his pillow close to her as if it was him. She looked
so beautiful that his heart ached, wishing that the two of them could be
immortal forever. With a playful glint
in his eyes he walked over to the bed and pounced on top of her. “Ciao, bellisima!” he grabbed her and
kissed her.
She startled for a brief instant but as soon as she saw it was her
beloved she calmed right down, looking at him with love and happiness. “Buon giorno, ti amo.” She smiled to him.
“I’m glad your home early.”
“Me too,” He sat up and pulled her into his arms, “I have lots of gifts
in the car for you, but I have not eaten breakfast yet and I am starving, so
how about you get dressed, and we make breakfast together, eh?”
She did, and they indeed cooked breakfast and coffee together. Of course
Furio discussed nothing about what had gone on in Naples, only to mention he
had been happy to pick up some clothes and other goodies for them. “I have
something to tell you, mi marito.” She said and looked at him so
intently and lovingly it nearly consumed his soul with lust and want of her.
“What my love,” he sipped his espresso, “You can tell me anything, you
know that.”
“I’m pregnant with our child.” She looked up at him almost demurely from
under penetrating emerald eyes that were so filled with love and happiness.
He sat there a few moments as the news sunk in, his own soul filling
with such happiness and contentment it nearly threatened to overwhelm him. “Oh,
mia amore, I am so happy! You are
happy?”
“Of course I am silly.” She chided him playfully, “I love you, and I am
honored to start a family with you. It was why I was so moody and such before
you left. I did not even think I was ready yet, but apparently you are one very
virile Italian man.” She blushed. “Marta was the one who noticed it and I took
a pregnancy test and it was positive.”
With a sudden loud whoop of joy Furio launched out of his chair, ran
over to her grabbed her up in his arms and swung her around as he laughed with
joy and happiness.
“I going to be a father!” he
laughed and then looked down at her with such intensity it nearly froze her
blood. “This is the most special gift you give me, eh? Special because it is a
child created by our love and passion for one another. Grazie, ti amo con tutto il cuore, mi Aria.” He carried her into the bedroom then and for
the next 40 minutes they spent entwined in their own intimate and passionate
dance of love.
As she
showered he bought in all the gifts he had bought and then opening the jewelry
box placed around her neck the necklace he had engraved for her. “It says, ‘My love for you is eternal, your Furio’,”
he translated as he showed her the writing. “Now when I cannot be here next to
you, you have this piece of me next to your heart and soul, eh?”
She hugged him tightly for a moment and then with a mischievous grin
walked over to the nightstand, “I was going to save this for later, but now
seems like the perfect time.” She also dug out a small jeweler’s box and opened
it standing in front of Furio. Inside was a man’s simple but handsome titanium
wedding band, engraved with the symbol for infinity around it. She took out the
ring and held it up to Furio, “Will you marry me and by mine forever, Furio
Giunta.” She asked her beautiful green eyes so full of life and happiness.
“Yes, always forever only yours.” He said his right hand caressing her
cheek tenderly. She showed him the inside of the band, since it was in English
she translated, “It says, ‘To my soulmate
forever, Love Aria’.” She slid the wedding band onto the ring finger of his
left hand and both of them kissed deeply.
“Is beautiful my love.” He said, “But then so are you. You make me such
a happy and contented man, I am truly lucky, eh?”
“You captured my heart and soul that day nearly 3 months ago. And I am
glad you did, perhaps it was fate, I don’t know. But I am glad to be yours.”
She said and ran her fingers over the smooth planes and angles of his face,
over the sensuous warm lips and across his muscular neck and shoulders. Furio
said nothing but just held her tightly against him, breathing in her essence,
allowing his heart and soul to be lost in the feeling of this moment of love
between them.
Later that morning as expected, Don Turi sent for him and Furio talked
to the old man in private, even Salvatore Casertano did not go inside.
The Don sat listening as Furio told the tale of killing Annalisa and fulfilling
his part of the bargain, but of course he made no mention of Valerio
whatsoever. “And so you have fulfilled your promise to me, Furio Giunta.” The
Don stood up and embraced Furio. “You are accepted fully now into this clan and
famiglia.” He paused and gave Furio a
kiss on his cheek, the traditional sign for total acceptance of him into his
clan and the Buccilla family, of a debt fulfilled. “Now,” he switched tack and
sat back down to discuss business, he motioned that Furio should pour both of
them some wine, which Furio did.
“Valerio Ladone has spoken and
vouched highly for you. He has recommended you for the position of caporegime of the guards. I must say I
concur with him and would be honored to give you this promotion, if you want
it.” Turi paused a moment, “I know you said you prefer being the lone wolf
enforcer and protector, but I really would like to see you in Valerio’s
position. Do you know why he is giving it up?” Turi asked fixing Furio with an
intense gaze.
Furio nodded quietly, “Yes, he told me the tale. Valerio is my friend,
and I will gladly accept the position. I am honored that both you and Valerio
feel I am qualified for it.”
The old Don nodded with a smile on his face. “And so you are, you have
proven this in many ways. I am glad to have you onboard protecting me, of
course you will get a capos salary since the captain of the guards’ works a bit
differently than say a capo on the streets, eh?” Turi explained. “You get a
take from whatever the guards earn from their own business’ on the side and of
course you are welcome to conduct your own money earning in other areas so long
as you don’t step on any toes, and of course kick up tribute up the chain.”
“Of course, Don Turi.” Furio nodded.
“Right
now Valerio has a room here in the main house, but he is a single man. So, I am
willing to give you the guesthouse to keep living in with your wife, if you can
occasionally still do some help around the farm, here and there, during
harvests or wine making.”
Furio idly waved a hand, “I would do these things anyway for you Don
Turi. I enjoy it here and working the land relaxes me.” He smiled lightly. The
two men sealed the deal by chatting lightly about neutral topics and finishing
their wine as well as a fine cigar that Turi offered Furio.
“Well
good then.” Turi said as the two of them finished up about 40 minutes later,
“When Valerio comes back from his, ah, vacation,” the Don eyed Furio with a
glint of humor in his old cataract clouded eyes, “He can put you in harness
next to him and show you what your new job entails. That way it is a smooth
transition.”
Furio felt his heart lurch in his chest at Turi’s words and the look he
had given him. Had the old Don somehow known that Valerio had been a part of
Annalisa’s execution? Somehow deep in his soul Furio felt yes, he did know, but
for reasons of his own the old man said nothing and kept quiet.
Nothing was to be said about Furio’s promotion until Valerio came back
home, and Don Turi would announce it. Of course Furio had told Aria about it
but told her to keep it quiet until it was publicly announced within the
family. She was happy for him, because she knew this meant he would be here at
the estate almost exclusively, and not running here and there doing enforcement
jobs or putting himself in so much danger down in the city of Napoli.
Three days later around lunch time there was a knock on the door, Furio
answered it and saw Valerio standing there, he looked weary and a bit more
haggard but he had a rare smile in his eyes that Furio had not seen before.
“Well, well, my friend.” Furio teased him lightly and invited him in, “You have
a wild time down there? Did you make it to the beach?”
“Yes I did indeed. Had some good drink, some good sex with some nice
women and had one hell of a wild time.” Valerio embraced Furio with a hard hug.
“Boy, things are sure stirred up now in the city with the death of Annalisa, I
tell you.” He said coyly, “Whoever did that job, they sure did the Buccilla’s a
big favor. The Vittorio’s are scrambling to make peace with us now.” He winked
slightly.
Furio pulled his friend inside to feed him lunch and wine, and Aria came
out of the kitchen to give Valerio a hug. “Ciao
Valerio, contento di vederti.” She smiled at him.
“You’re learning Italian well.” He said in Italian as he hugged her back
and gave her a kiss, “By the way, congratulations.” Valerio winked at her
privately, “When are you due?”
Valerio was hard to understand because his Italian was so peppered with
Sicilian dialect but Aria waded through the best she could. “8 months.” She
smiled back. Aria then went into the
kitchen to serve the two men lunch and give them privacy. At first she had been
slightly miffed at the way Italian men always seemed to go off by themselves to
discuss things never letting any women near them (or perhaps it was just the
way of the men in this lifestyle) but it didn’t bother her at all anymore. In
fact she served both of them wine and fresh cappricio sandwiches for them, and
then taking her own sandwich she winked at Furio letting him know she was
giving them privacy and then she went outside to eat her lunch in the warm
sunshine.
“As I said before,” Valerio toasted Furio, “You are a lucky man. I can
see how much she loves you. Congratulations, on your first child.”
Furio
grinned deeply a moment as he took a big bite of his cappricio, “And she can
cook, she learns fast, both the language and how to cook.” He winked.
Valerio’s eye fell on the new ring on Furio’s finger and he grinned
deeply as well. “Now, I am glad you decided to accept the promotion.” He said.
“It makes me at peace and happy to know that someone with intelligence will be
running things in the future.”
“If it brings you peace Val, then it makes me happy.” Furio said
honestly, “Besides, it means I can work close to home, the wife is happy about
that, and I must confess, now that I am not a young cugine anymore, I have no death wish either. Each day my own
reflexes grow a bit more slow, eh?”
Valerio chuckled at that, “Perhaps, but I could think of no one finer I
would want fighting at my side with.” He drank some wine.
The men chatted about business and about life in general. Furio was
truly sad that Valerio would be gone in less than a year, he really did like
the man and wished he could have had more time to know him as a friend, but yet
somehow they both felt as if they had known one another a lifetime.
As Furio listened to Valerio talking he glanced out the window and saw
his beautiful wife Aria talking with Marta Casertano and Portia Genisio. Aria
looked so radiant and happy with her long red hair glistening in the sunlight,
her hands dancing with excited energy as she talked almost as exuberantly as
the two old Italian ladies. Furio knew he was indeed home now, had a permanent
and safe place here in the Buccilla famiglia.
It was no longer the nest of the enemy, but his famiglia that he had pledged all to. His life had come full circle
and he was back home in the country and culture he loved and had grown up with,
but yet he was so much richer in his heart and soul for his experience in the
U.S. After all he had come back with his soulmate and with a much finer
appreciation for that which was here in Italy, the way true Camorrista’s and
Mafioso’s were. With a smile he nodded at whatever it was Valerio was chatting
amiably about, it mattered not. Furio Giunta was content and fulfilled now, at
last.
