"Nothing without me, but they can handle themselves for a few moments, as I indulge my vices." He kissed her hand again, as he looked into her eyes. "I went outside earlier, it is a cold night...I hope I can keep you warm all by myself." His smile was always confident and passionate, it reflected in his eyes also, his desires for her growing.<br/><br/>His respect for Isabelle was so great, he would never risk her name by participating in indecent acts while they were in the workplace. Long ago before they dated, a employee at the time began to spread rumors of  Isabelle. When the rumors reached him, they had a long talk in the break room. Besides obvious evidence of a scuffle, no conviction was ever made. Those who had met Giovanni, knew he did not take shit from anyone, and less if it involved someone he loved. His romantic fantasy was to be her protector, guarding his queen for the rest of his life. He saw children in the back of her eyes, a loving wife, a white fence, a dog named spot. Everything he thought would make his world perfect, with her forever.<br/><br/>"I will be sure to be off by then, meet me back here after work? I'll just up the pace for the rest of the day to make sure everything is take care of." He smiled, he was always running at maximum capacity, but he would do anything for her if it meant spending a few more seconds with her alone.<br/>
