-Part forty-

"it's mostly just a work thing with my dad's business and I'll never leave your side Trust me," he says grabbing my hand

"I mean I'm nervous but excited, do I get like a ballgown or something" I laugh as a joke

"Obviously, my mother has already put together some choices for you and when we get there you'll try them on and see which one you like best, and she has like hair people and shit as well," he says

"wow, your mother is actually going through all this trouble for me?" I say shocked

I mean she told me over the phone a bit ago she was going to have some stuff ready and I don't need to worry about anything but I wasn't aware it was to this extent

"My mother adores you like you're her daughter" he smiles caressing my chin looking deeply in my eyes

And it absolutely melts my heart, Sophia is the sweetest woman I've met and I feel like she's more of a mother to me than my own

I start tearing up "I'll need to thank her then" i whisper

"The only way you'll be able to really thank her is by being at the ball... my mother won't stop talking about how excited she is that your coming" Enzo laughs shaking his head

"You're lucky to have such amazing parents" I smile fully knowing he might say something about mine but I don't give a shit

"We're yours not?" He asks his facial expression lacing with confusion

Called it.

"Not really, they kind of sucked on the parenting side" I shrug

"But it's alright" I shrug once again

He grabs my hand "I'm sorry sweetheart"

"I mean I honestly feel like your mother is more, my mother, than my own" I laugh weakly

"Well I'm glad you have her then" he gives me a sad smile

"Me too, your mothers absolutely amazing Enzo" I smile

"You know she's been nagging me about when your gonna get your head out of your ass and finally kiss me" I laugh

He starts laughing shaking his head "only my mother"

"Wait, Im going to need to update her that you did in fact kiss me...but that I am the one who created the atmosphere for you to kiss me in" I smirk

He rolls his eyes "whatever" he laughs

I kiss his cheek standing up and groaning a little from the soreness

"You fine?" He smirks a little but I can tell he's genuinely asking

I snort "yeah I will be," I say giving him a peck on the lips

And then giving Mia who has been in her own world eating her pancakes playing with her barbie dolls a peck on her cheek

"I'm gonna go call Sophia I'll be back soon," I say smiling at Enzo before heading upstairs

And while I'm walking it's that moment I realize how many damn steps there are here, I mean shit I practically crawl upstairs

And I hear him say "see you in at least 2 hours! My mother is going to freak out with excitement with us kissing," he says laughing

And I shake my head laughing continuing up the stairs, knowing he's absolutely right

(Phone call with Sophia)

Sophia: oh hi sweetie, How are you? How was Hawaii!?

Zara: hi! It was wonderful thanks for asking, how are you?
