His Rose

Lilith

Alessandro's POV

"Padre, cosa vuole?" I ask my father stepping into his house.
(Translation- Father, what do you want)

"Cosa? Un padre non può passare un mese con suo figlio?"
(Translation- What? A father can't spend a month with his son?)

"Padre I was busy. I have shit to do in the U.S. too."

"And you'll be busy here. Vai a dire ciao a tua madre." He says pointing to the kitchen.
(Translation- Go say hi to your mother)

"Ciao madre." I say walking into the kitchen.

"Figlio!!" She says putting rinsing her hands off and walking over to me.

"Madre, why don't you let the cooks cook? That's their job." I say hugging her.

"They don't make it as good as me or my madre." She whispers.

I laugh and sit at the counter.

I watch her make pasta noodles and she hands me some coffee.

"Hi!" Rose says over the phone.

"Good afternoon." I say back.

"How was your flight?"

"It was okay. How is your day going?"

"Pretty damn boring. I have no one to cuddle with or to make spaghetti noodles with. Because you went all the way on the other side of the damn earth."

"You know it's not my fault. I definitely don't want to be away from you." I say to Rose when the door to my room opens.

"Figlio, who are you talking to?" My madre says.

"I'll call you later okay?"

"Okay! Bye Sandro!"

"Bye." I say and hang up.

"Figlio has a ragazza? Who is she?"

"Her name is Rose." I say to her

"That's a nice name. When do we get to meet her?" She asks leaning on the doorframe.

"I don't know mama."

It's been a few days and I've been super busy. Busier than I would've been in the U.S. Which is why I should've stayed.

I take a sip of coffee and talk with my father.

We talk about our family and how Luca and Mateo are doing.

"Have you seen Lilith? We haven't talked in years." I ask and padre looks at me confused.

"You want to talk to Lilith?"

"She's my sister, is she not?"

"She is. Here have her number." He says finishing his drink and writing down her number.
I take it and put it into my phone.

"Okay. I'm gonna go out. Ciao." I say getting up.

***

"Fratello! We haven't spoken in so long!" Lilith says over the phone.
(Translation- Brother!)

"Because you moved to California. Then London. Then Tokyo. Then went off the grid for three and a half months." I say blankly.

"Wow harsh-"

"Mhm."

I love this girl. I mean, of course. she's my sister. But why the hell is she so impulsive. She moves all the damn time and makes no time for family...

"I'm going to be in Italy for a month, why don't you stop by?" I ask.

"I might be able to in a few days? Is that okay?"

"That's fine. I'll talk to you later."

"Okay, bye little bro."

***

She never came by. She said she was "too busy".
This is exactly why we haven't talked in over two years. She's impulsive and can't keep a promise.

I've been busy anyway.
