"Do you have your suitcase packed?" Vito asks walking in the room

Madison nods her head and smiles at him. He lost the bet,which means she's getting a trip. Earlier she called out of work and Victor decided since they're together they might as well go on their trip.

"You look sexy" he compliments

"Thanks"

"no smart remarks,Daddy must've knocked all of that straight from your mouth" he boasts holding his ear

Madison blushes looking away,her mind runs back to the very festive night.

"Come ride this"

He laid on the bed,watching her look nervous.

"It's like a ball baby,just sink down on it and bounce "

Madison made Vito position himself at her entrance,before she sank unto his shaft. Her hands laid against his toned chest and her eyes bulged out of her socket.

"Ouuu Papa my legs aren't up for this"

"Ivy bounce before I choke your ass out."

"I want to see the kids before we leave."

"Guess we're taking my jet" he mumbles

"Jet,you own a jet?" Madison asks shockingly looking at him

"Yea,I never told you about it?"

Madison's mouth stays wide open whilst she shakes her head no.

"Bae you're playing with me?"

"Ivy I don't think you understand how successful your man is. Baby I'm paid" he says smiling hard

"How paid?" She asks walking over to him

"We can live in Dubai,just say the word"

Madison wraps her arms around his neck and places a kiss on his lips.

" I change my mind,I want to go to Dubai she smiles

"Dubai it is Princess."

He pecks her lips a couple of times before deepening the kiss.

"No,you knocked my cycle on." She says pulling away

"Well maybe you should stop talking like you wanted it knocked on." He mumbles pecking her lips one more time

He grabs her suitcase and rolls it out to the front door.

"Papa, can we stop for breakfast." Madison groans rubbing her stomach

"When we get to the airport, Ivy."

"Do you have a bag packed?" She questions grabbing her purse.

He nods his head and opens the door for her.

"Ready?"

She nods and walks out of the door following with him behind.

"Ivy that ass looking good in them jeans"

"It looks better without them on."

She turns around and watches as he stops dead in his tracks. She chuckles shaking her head.

"Babe why'd you stop?"

"Talking like that while you're on your cycle is a no no,do you understand me?" He asks seriously

"Yes I understand ,now come on"

Madison's phone rings in her pocket while they walk down the stairwell. She pulls her phone from her pocket and smiles at the screen,excited to answer it

"Hello"

"Dr. Diaz I am so excited to hear from you." She says beaming

"Someone sounds happy."

"very."

Vito looks at her and watches as she smiles hard. He told himself mentally to give himself a pat on the back. Seeing her smile so hard proves to him how good he's doing,All he ever wanted was to see her smile. He holds the door for her and watches her go through it.

"Ivy we're taking my car"

She nods,continuing out past the lobby. Madison waits at the door waiting for him to open it.

"I'm walking to the car now, we're taking a plane back to Detroit so I can see the kids before we leave."

Vito pushes open the door again and waits for her to step out.

"Well I would like to see you before you leave then." Dr. Diaz says making her smile

"I would love to,their is a lot I need to catch you up on " She smiles

Vito unlocks the car and presses the button to release the trunk. He places the suitcase in the trunk and closes it. He opens the passenger side and eyes her face as she slides into the car to sit on the leather seat.

"Baby you good?"

She nods in approval,he closes the door softly and walks over to the driver side,he sits in his seat and quickly starts the engine up so he could have the car warm up. The heater air blows cold before it gets hot.

"Damn it's freezing" he mumbles

"I have,he's been treating me right and I just really love him." She confesses

Vito turns his head and looks at her,smiling ear to ear.

"You talking about me?" He mouths pointing at himself

Madison smiles and nods.

"Who else would I be talking about?" She questions

Vito shrugs and lays his head against the chair,waiting on the car to warm up.

"Okay and you can tell me all about Iceland when I get there."

Vito puts the car in drive and sits up so he can begin driving. Madison hangs up the phone and places it in the cup holder beside her. Vito leans over and waits for her to kiss his lips. She places her lips on his for a few seconds before pulling away.

"I love you." He mumbles

"I love you too Papa"

"Baby you think when we get there we can see my therapist?"

Vito pulls the car out of the spot and looks at her.

"If we have time,Ivy, I just want you to know this ain't no five hour trip,we are going to be in the air for a long ass time. I thought we could have sex through the fly but you just have to be on your period"

"Wait, I changed my mind, I can't be too far from the kids and you're the one who brung it on early."

"Ivy make up your mind." He mumbles looking at her as he stops at a red light

"Victor, did you ever go to court?" She questions

"Nah, I wrote a letter ,I know the judge."

"So you got out of it?"

"Don't worry about it"

"A young man told me he works for you,he doesn't,you know?" She questions hoping he didn't make drug runs although Victor told her he doesn't really earn much income from it

"If your asking if it's drugs then the answer is maybe"

He takes a quick glance at her and focuses his eyes back on the road.

"Why do we need to see your therapist?"

Madison looks at him and bites the corner of her lip nervously.

Knowing that Dave is his father has been weighing on her mind heavily for the past few days. She doesn't know how to tell him but she does know she has to . She doesn't want to keep any secrets from him and she would hate for him to keep secrets from her.

"Just so we can talk. We have been through a lot as friends,a couple,and parents. I just want to see where your mind is at and where mine is."

"whatever you want Princess" he answer

"And I have a confession well not a confession-well just a thing I have to tell-but nothing serious" she rambles

"Look Ivy,If it's something that's gonna piss me off you better off telling me after this trip." He says taking a glimpse at her nervous face

Madison nods and places her finger in her mouth,so she could bite on her nails.

"Okay"

She still doesn't feel at ease,her thigh started to shake and her armpits started to drench sweat.

"Papa turn the heat down"

"The heat just got turned on."

Madison shakes her coat off and throws it in the back seat

Vito places his hand on her fidgety thigh and begins squeezing it.

"You good?"

She nods while continuing to shake her leg.

"Baby, I'm just hungry"

"what do you want to eat?"

"Ughh a bacon,egg ,and sausage"

Vito glances at her and raises his eyebrow.

"You talking about food right?"

"Nigga I'm hungry"

Vito pops her thigh and frowns.

"What did I say about your mouth?"

"Papa I'm hungry" she groans irritably and more sincere

"Alright Ivy damm, We'll hit up McDonalds when we get to the airport."

"So you're going to just have me waiting?" She questions looking at him

Her cycle hormones felt like they were preparing her to cuss him out with his next statement. During her cycle she finds herself more moody than she normally is. She mainly tries staying away from others while she's bleeding.

"Ivy we are almost there,don't get your panties all in a bunch."

"Victor I'm just so hungry." She expresses with her head on the window

"I understand Ivy,you think I want to starve you? "

"What are you going to do with your car?" She asks thinking about what would happen once they get out

"Someone is taking it."

Once they arrive at the airport Madison jumps out of the car and shuts it behind her. She made sure to grab her belongings before standing outside of the car.

Vito takes their suitcases from the trunk and lays them on the sidewalk.

"Papa I'm going to-

"Hold on real quick "

He pulls his phone out and taps on his recent caller log. He listens out for the ringing until someone finally picks up.

"Sir"

"I'm here,where are yall?" Vito questions annoyed

"Sir I'm still driving ,I'm coming down to gate D"

Vito shakes his head and hangs his phone up. Never was the type to be late,he hated not being on schedule when he has a simple plan. He runs his hands over his face and looks over to see Madison leaning on the car with her back against him.

"Princess are you okay?"

Madison keeps her mouth shut. She didn't want to come off rude or seem annoying so she did what's best. She nods her head and pulls her phone out.

Vito looks around till he makes eye contact with the person jogging towards him.

"Boss I'm sorry I'm late"

"Don't let it happen again. " Vito mumbles grabbing their suitcase

Madison turns her head around and looks over to see Micheal waiting patiently.

"Oh hello Michael"

"Good Morning " he answers smiling

"How was last night?"

"I got her home, safe and sound" he responds

Madison smiles and nods.

"Ivy are you ready?"

Vito waits for her to get in front of him before walking behind her.

"Now let's get your mean ass something to eat."

The couple saunter together while he pulls their luggage behind him. Madison couldn't wait to reach the bright yellow sign, Her stomach felt like it was beginning to drop to the ground.

"What can I get for you?" The teenager asks smiling briefly

"I would like to order a orange juice and two Mcgriddles"

"Anything else?" She asks

Madison turns and looks at Vito who's still looking at the menu.

"He's still looking"

"Can I have the same thing?" he asks looking at the girl

"Sure."

Madison opens her purse to grab her wallet when Vito beats her to paying by placing his phone near the machine.

"Baby I was going to pay" she smiles

"Well guess who won?"

The teen hands the receipt to Madison .

Vito pulls the bags over to the side and stands in the corner with Madison.

"Baby you know we could have ordered food on the plane?"

"Why didn't you tell me?" She asks looking at him

"Because you were being a big cry baby about getting food."

Vito could feel a presence watching him. He peers around their surroundings till his eyes are caught on the mystery person. His eyes briefly scan the woman's face before breaking eye contact and placing them somewhere they needed to be. His woman.

"Papa did you hear me?"

"I'm sorry Ivy,what did you say?" He asks staring at her

"I think our food is ready"

Madison steps over towards the counter to retrieve their food and drink. He lifts his jeans a little,keeping them from sagging. He grabs the suitcases and waits for her to grab the food.

She opens her purse and places the bag of food in it.

"Are you ready?"

"Mhmmm"

"Follow me." He says gripping the suitcase's handle in his hand

He begins walking with Madison travelling behind him.

"Ivy I need you beside me"

He turns his head and looks at her to see her stopping to poke a straw in her drink.

" I'm coming,I just need a sip"

Vito shakes his head,continuing to wait for her.

"Taste delicious "

She starts to walk again and catches up with Vito.

"So we're going outside so we can get on the jet."

Madison shakes her head and smiles.

"I really lucked up"

she smiles trying to hold the need to squeal.

"Nah ,I did." He whispers eyeing her down.

"Good Morning Mr. And Mrs. Hernandez" a man greets them as they walk to the jet placed outside.

"Good Morning Max"

"Good Morning" Madison says brightly

Her mind runs wild thinking more of the future. She couldn't believe her eyes,She's really about to be on a jet. She looks back at Vito to see him passing their luggage to someone.

"Go on up there I ain't leaving you."

She lets out a breath and begins climbing the stairs up to the inside.

She turns around yet again to see Vito chuckling.

"Your husband ain't leaving you,I'm right here"

Madison takes a seat on a chair and rolls her eyes in satisfaction at how the chair felt.

"I see you like it" he smiles nodding

"Baby why are you just now showing me this?"

"You're the one who wanted to run off to New York before you got to know me more."

Madison bites the side up her lip trying to hold her embarrassment.

"Don't do that" she mumbles

"Can I have my food?" He asks taking his jacket off

He sits down beside her,waiting for her to pass him his breakfast.

"Here you go"

He grabs the food,thanking her before eating it.

"I like the interior" she admirers

" good,well I'm going to lay down in the bed,you can sit out here if you want."

Madison watches as he gets up to set out to the back.

"Wait...stay with me" she whines before taking a bite out of her sandwich

"Ivy I would but I have to get on a business call."

She frowns before looking away.

"I will be right back,just wait a sec."

He pulls his phone out and walks to the back where a bed is placed for him to rest at.

The flight going back home wasn't too long. To Madison it was too short and she really wanted to stay on longer. Vito never left the room but it didn't bother Madison.

"Thanks again Max,later on tonight we'll be back on." Vito states

Vito yawns and walks off the plane with Madison behind him.

"You okay?"

Madison nods her head and smiles at him.

"Why do you always ask me that?"

"Need to make sure your comfortable" he says grasping her hand into his

Madison shakes her head,beginning to feel very emotional. She really couldn't believe the man before her eyes,a straight gentleman. Once they make it on the floor Madison wraps her arms around his muscular frame.

"What's that for?"

Madison looks at him and makes deep eye contact.

"I love you so much"

Vito frowns watching her blink a tear away.

"Don't start Ivy,it aint that serious"

She shakes her head and lays it on him.

"Hug me back"

Vito wraps his arms around her and places his hand on her back.

"Ivy can we get in the car,it's freezing?"

"When I'm done hugging you" she answers.

Vito kisses his teeth and continues to keep his arms wrapped around her.

"Madison I'm ready to get in the car"

He lets out a long groan until she finally lets him go.

"Can I get to appreciate you first?"

"Baby I know but can you do it in the car?" "my body is freezing."

Vito walks to the car waiting on them, he opens the door and watches as Madison bends down to get in. He bends down and slides into the car. He closes the door behind him and nods his head at the driver. Madison looks at him and smiles at his attractiveness.

"Your so sexy" she mumbles

Vito nods and pecks her cheek.

"Thanks Princess"

The driver keeps their back turned and hands Vito a firearm.

Madison's eyelids widen while her mind tries to register the gun.

Vito looks at her and shakes his head.

"It's alright ,it's on safety"

She gulps her saliva and turns her head to look out of the window, Her mind races back to last night.

"You gonna hold a gun for me?"

Madison frowns and turns to look at him.

"You okay?"

"Baby I don't feel okay with that" she whispers

He nods his head and pecks her forehead.

"It's just for protection,I won't use it unless I have to,I swear"

"Where to first sir?"

Vito stares at Madison waiting on her to answer.

"V he asked you a question"

"Answer the question." He responds

"Ugh-can we go to-ugh- Arthur street,downtown "

Vito smiles and whispers in her ear.

"Whatchu getting all nervous for, That nigga aint cute"

Madison chuckles and places her head on his shoulder.

Vito and Madison walk into Dr.Diaz's office hand and hand. Madison decided that she wants to tell him now about Dave.

"Hello happy couple, how are you,more so you sir,I kind of gotten caught up with Madison?"

"I'm fine"

"Take a seat and make yourself relaxed"

Dr. Diaz stares between the two and smiles in excitement. He enjoys always seeing a happy relationship.

"So Madison and -

"Victor ,sir"

"Ahh Victor ,what would you like to talk about?" Dr. Diaz questions closing the door

"I want to speak about our relationship but most of all I have something I need to tell Victor."

Vito shifts in his seat to look at Madison. He didn't really want to know about what she has to say if it's going to make him mad.

"So I always like to start off with an introduction so hello my name is Dr.Diaz and I am a therapist,you are?"

"My name is Victor and I'm a business man."

Dr. Diaz nods and begins speaking.

"I like to also start off with the things weighing on our minds,So whatever is weighing on your mind,let it out first."

Madison nods and turns around so she could face Vito. Her pits feel like the Mississippi river. Deep down she wanted to say never mind but she didn't need this eating her conscience more than it already is.

"Baby, I want you to listen up to me before you blow up on me, I never knew this whole time it was him." She says staring in his eyes

"Ivy get to the point."

"Baby I have known your dad for a couple months now. I never knew it was him, I swore I thought he was just a random guy."

Vito furrows his eyebrows, confused by her words.

"I'm not understanding."

"Dave was the one who bumped my car months ago, he bought me a car,replacing my old one."

Vito insides ticked. He wanted to hurt Dave physically.

"So when did you find out?" He asks still staring at her trying to hold his anger in

"The other day when he came to your grandmother's place." She announces nervously

"Why would I be mad at you?" He questions

"Because I didn't tell you right away, when I found out."

Vito leans in and places a kiss on her forehead.

"Never be scared to reveal things to me. I aint ever going to hurt you,no matter what" he mumbles staring at her
