Me and Stephano just got to the De'Marco estate, i get out and we walk in, chatting. I go up to Alaia and we talk and then get dressed together.

Im in the sitting room now, with Gray. Im all dressed. My dress is nice, it hugs me well. I have on some nude heels and my hair is down in waves with neutral makeup and a maroon lip. I look "So hot i could die" according to Alaia.

Im playing with Grayson while Alaia helps Alessandro get ready. They're so cute. I hear a deep, masculine voice speaking rapid italian and it makes Grayson bounce in excitement. I stand up and put him on my hip so he doesnt slip because of all the excited squirming.

Its Nick, i can tell by his voice, if thats his name. Why isnt his italian like the others. Maybe its short for something.

I see him walk around the corner and hang up the phone. Grayson squeals making him look up at him, then his eyes snap to me. His mouth parts and he looks at me a second longer than his attention is stolen by grayson babbling.

He walks to me takes grayson, our hands brushing.

"hi" i say making him look at me.

"hi" he repeats.

"uhm, thankyou for taking me home last night" i say and he nods.

"Alaia forced me, i didn't do it for you" he says. Ouch. What? that was rude for no reason. Okay you dont care about me, im not in love with you either sir. I nod with a confused expression.

I didnt notice that Ms. Bianca entered while we were talking.

"Niccolo, stop being so rude to my dolcezza" she scolds, then smiles at me. Oh. I thought she'd laugh at my perfect insult by her son. "You look beautiful tesoro" she says. I blush and she patts my cheek.

"Come, lets go away from grumpy here" she says and i nod. I would've giggled but i feel angry at his rude behaviour. I know i shouldn't but i do.

We walk out of there, towards the back. They have multiple doors to their huge backyard, they have like a hall there, where the guests will be.

"Im sorry about him darling, he's just a little confused about his feelings" she says. Feelings? Im about to ask but get interrupted by a voice.

"Bianca!" a woman around her age is walking towards us.

"Run dolcezza, save yourself while you still can" she says and i giggle walking away and waving at her.

I talk to the Laia and then Zia Shaina introduces me to some people. She said i can call her zia, which i thought was nice.

I walk to the bar because im parched after all that chatting. I order a coke and wait.

"Ciao bella" i hear and i turn to my right, to see a guy, he's probably around 21 ish. I smile at him.

"Ciao" I say. "do you speak english?" i ask him. He chuckles.

"Sì, i do" he says smiling at me. He's cute.

"good because i know italian, i just prefer not to speak it when i dont absolutely need to" i tell him making him laugh.

"As long as you know what bella means" he winks. I laugh at his little flirtatious tone.
