I only explained that because it's the name of the song 🤧😌

Let's get started!

~bella's POV~

"The boys will wait at the top of the stairs for you, myself and your father are going down first" My Mama says as I follow her out of my door and towards the staircase.

I stay behind the wall as I watch my mama hold onto my Papa's arm - they walk down the stairs while cheers and claps ring through the room.

The next to get to the staircase are my eldest brothers, Leo (Leone) and Alex (Alessandro), who walk down next to each other, leo wore a white suit with a black tie while Alex wore a white shirt partly undone, with black dress pants.

Next follows Dante and a girl I've never seen before, she wore a dark green dress while my third eldest brother had a black suit with a green tie to match her dress.

Next followed the youngest brothers, Luca and Matt (Matteo), they wore watching yellow ties with light grey suits.

"And now time for the girl of the night and Valerius" my Papá cheered.

As we walked around the corner arm in arm cheers and whistles echoed through the house.

I scanned the crowd and spotted Alice in the corner, I smiled at her which made her smile back.

I kept my arm linked with Val's as we walked down the stairs - Val wore a shit shirt, half undone, a black suit coat and black bowl. He had a green flower that matched my dress in his suit pocket, I had the same flower on a bracelet that I wore around my wrist.

"Want a drink lil' one?" Val whispers to me
"Yeah please" I smile
I watch as his body retreats through the crowd.

"Here darling let me introduce you to some people" My papa says while leading me through the crowd.

Around 5 minutes later of talking Val finally made it back to me with my drink
"Thanks Val" I say before kissing his cheek and turning back to the people I was talking to.

They were apparently people who worked for my papá.

Val nudges my arm before walking away.

"Aww your relationship with each other is lovely, way better than my kids" the woman who's name I learned was Cathrine huffed.

I chuckle lightly before I feel someone tap my shoulder.
I turn around to be greeted with Alicia.

I couldn't help but stare, her dress was beautiful and fitted her body perfectly, showing off all the right curves.

"Take a picture it lasts longer" she says as she leans forward to whisper in my ear so no one could hear.

I can feel the heat rise to my cheeks as she chuckles at me.
Shit, what's she doing to me?

"Should you care to dance Madame" she says with a bow, she had made her tone for posh, like how Americans would describe British people.

"I would feel like I'm betraying my date" I say in a posh tone to carry the bit on.

"Well I'm sure he'll never find out" she says still continuing with the tone.

"I suppose one dance wouldn't hurt" I say while placing my hand into hers.

Sparks shoot up my arm from our touch, what's happening to me?!

I can't make out wether she felt it because her face didn't change emotion apart from her lip curling up into a smile before turning back to her thin lined expression.
