Pieces of Me Pua Ramona (read me a book txt) 📖

anymore. Because your heart chose Sina; because you deserve to be happy.”

I kiss the top of her head. “Thank you for taking care of me Lei, even when I was being an ungrateful asshole, you never stopped loving me.” And it’s the truth. Lei has always been good to me, she never made me feel like I was alone. She always kept me involved with whatever that was going on. She’s the little sister that I was lucky enough to have in my life, even though we didn’t share the same DNA, she was my sister and I loved her. “I love you Leila.”

She’s sobs, “I love you too big brother.”

“Do you think I can get some of those magical cupcakes to go?” I say with a wink.

She snorts. “I already have them packed,” she says. She hands me a dozen cupcakes. “What time should I tell the girls to be there?” she asks.

“Around noon. I’m heading out to Mama’s now, then I’ll see you at the office.” I say and her phone is already in her hands as she sends out the message.

“Wait!” Lei runs to the door and hands me a bag. “That’s for Mama,” she says.

Before I leave Pixie’s I send out a text to the guys:

Me: Meeting at jobsite at noon. Marino I included you ‘cause your family to Sina, and I guess my friend…. I guess. DON’T BE LATE ASSHOLES!!

Luka: Say please!

Daniel: Alright! Thanks uce. Mona’s on her period and she’s fucking scaring me.

Reese: I’m already here slacker!

Michael: I better not be getting my ass kicked, I’ll be there.

Marino: You got lucky fucker, but I’m still going to dream about her ;) Keep me posted!

I read their messages and shake my head. Fucking assholes! I make sure the cupcakes are secure and set off to Mama’s.

It’s still early and traffic isn’t bad so I make it to Mama’s faster than I usually do. I turn the car off then grab my phone so I can send Sina a text, but she beats me to it:

Babe: I woke up to a cold bed ☹ But thank you for making me coffee, I love you babe! Hurry up and come home. I freaking miss you. 

Xoxo

Me: I’ll be home soon. I LOVE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH!!!!!! 

Babe: Sigh. Blushing.

Me: <3 

I’m fucked. She’s got me feeling like I’m in high school all over again. If the guys found out that I even sent her a heart, they’d never let me live it down. I grab Mama’s sweets and head for the door.

Mama opens the door before I even have a chance to knock.

“There’s my handsome son,” she says and I give her a kiss on her cheek.

“Good morning Mama” I say as I walk inside. I follow her to the kitchen and I’m surprised to see Mama Rita sitting at the table with a coffee in her hands.

“Morning Mama Rita.” I say and she smiles, getting up to give me a hug.

“Morning sweetie!” She says as she wraps me in her arms.

“Lei wanted me to give this to you,” I say to Mama handing her the bag.

Mama takes it and says “We were just getting ready to head over to Pixie’s, but you saved us a trip Son.”

“I didn’t see your car outside.” I say to Miss Rita.

“I had Luka drop me off, I needed to get out for a little bit and he was taking Emma out to breakfast, so I hopped in with them.”

I smile. Well shit, two birds with one stone, today is going to be a good fucking day.

“So, should we ask why you’re here this early?” Mama asks and Mama Rita giggles.

They fucking know, dammit! I look at Mama Rita. “I was going to stop by today, but I’m glad you’re here.” I clear my throat. “I know I’m the last person that deserves your daughter. But I’m crazy about her and I’m in love with her. I’m pretty sure some people might think that she deserves better than me, but I know that I’m good enough for her. I wanted to ask for your blessing to have her as my wife.” They both start sobbing and I stand in the kitchen like a loser waiting for her to say something.

What the hell is with women and crying. “You are more than enough for our daughter. You already had our blessings before you knew you were going to ask for her hand. I’d say welcome to the family, but you’re already part of our aiga,” she says. Her words mean so much to me and I have so much love for this family. She hugs me. “Congratulations Eli,” Mama Rita says.

“Thank you!” She hands me off to Mama.

“Congratulations son! You make sure you take good care of her heart” Mama says.

“I promise I will Mama. Thank you for keeping me in my place Mama, I love you!”

“You’re my son, I will always be there for you no matter what” she says. “Wait here.” She leaves the kitchen and comes back with a little box. “I forgot to bring this to you when you were in the hospital, but here’s the ring that your grandmother left for you.”

She opens it and my jaw drops. I’ve only seen it once but I was much younger. “Holy shit!” I say.

“Language!” Mama chides.

“I meant, Grandpa had good taste.” And they both chuckle.

“He sure did,” Mama says. I take the jewelry box from her, this ring would’ve cost me my whole savings plus more. It’s gorgeous and it’s perfect for Sina.

“It’s her size too” Mama Rita says. I looked at both women and raise a brow.

“I hope she likes it.” They laugh like school girls together and it’s a sight to see.

“Trust me. She’s my daughter, she’s going to either freak out or pass out.” Miss Rita says.

“When are you planning on asking her?” Mama asks.

“I planned on asking her tomorrow night. I know we’ve only known each other for a short time, but she’s it for me. I
