***********
Your typical Mafia romance story.
Alaia is a sweet gentle girl, treated like a princess loved by many. Aless is anything but gentle, follow...
We are in the car, driving to the estate. Im really excited actually.
"Am I forgiven, bambina?" Aless asks for the nth time. I roll my eyes.
"Yes, Sì Aless" I say trying to hold in my smile. He's so cute. Yea he hurt my feelings but judging by his expression when he saw me crying, i know he didnt mean to. And i do, i forgive him.
"Forgiven? Aless can apologise?" Stephano asks, faking a shocked expression.
We reach the gate of the estate. They do a quick arm check on the cars and let us through. I missed Zio Dante too. He's just like papa. Strict, but loves me too much.
After about 5 minutes of driving, we see the estate. Its just how I remember it. Huge. But not as huge as when I was 12. Its dusk, all the lights are on. It looks glorious.

"Welcome home baby" I hear Aless say as he looks down at me. I smile at him and start to wriggle in excitement.
"Im so excited!" I squeal making the boys snicker.
"She is cute" Christiano says from the back and I roll my eyes.
The car stops and Aless gets out and helps me out aswell. We walk towards the entrance, well everyone else does, im running.
"Oh! Mia dolce ragazza mi sei mancata, guardati cresciuta!" Zia Shaina squeals when she spots me. I run up and hug her. (Oh! My sweet girl I missed you, look at you all grown up!)
"ohh i missed you too" I say tears springing to my eyes. When we pull apart, I see she too has tears in hers.
"Why are you crying cognata she's home now" I hear zio Dante say and I hug him. Then Zia Bianca too. (sister in law)
"Ohh, come in you must be exhausted, sì? I have your room all ready, its beautiful just like you mia dolcezza" She says excitedly. Im so much like her its trippy. (my sweet)
"You know mama, we came back home after a week too." Stephano says walking behind us.
"Oh yes I know baby, come let me give you kisses." Zia Shaina teases, knowing Stephano likes to act tough. He backs up and raises his hands in surrender. We all laugh.
"Okay, everyone go wash up dinner will be in 30 minutes, boys when I say wash up, I mean wash up, capire?" Zia Bianca says to us all. Mumbles of sì are heard as Zia Shaina kisses my head and tells me to go on up to my old room. (Understand?)
As I approach, I remember how Aless's room is right across mine and smile. I walk into the room and a gasp leaves my mouth. Its completely different. I remember it being everything a child wanted, with the beautiful canopy bed and toy sets. Now its everything a woman wants. The beautiful bed and big windows. Its perfect.

I walk into the bathroom, and its so magnificent. The double doors leading to it are gorgeous. This looks like its made for royalty. I feel so incredibly lucky. Im gonna have to thank papa and zia.

Im about to take out a change of clothes when I remember the closet. I all but sprint to the door beside the bathroom and open it. Oh my goodness I am so excited to fill this up. But Ill do that later when i have more stuff, right now im hungry for Zia Bianca's delicious cooking.
********** ZARA
hii, ill show the closet in another chapter where she decorates it.
Also, i dont know if the word i used for sister in law can be used in that sense, i just wanted to show a nice loving relationship between them. does that make sense?
