Last but not least are your grandparents"
"Hi I am Valentina," I say
"Oh come here, Tesoro," my grandma says
I come over and she hugs me tightly then quickly lets go.
"Welcome back home," grandpa says with a smile
"DID GRANDPA JUST SMILE?" someone screams

V a l e n t I n a p o v :
"GIANNI YOU RUINED THE MOMENT DUMBASS" everyone yells
"oh shit I did my bad, " Gianni says
I laugh
"where are my girl cousins? I haven't seen them" I ask
everyone laughs as if it was the funniest thing ever
"Bambolotta you are the only girl in this family. the only girl that has been born in generations" grandpa explains
translation: little doll
"so that means I am the only girl ?" I groan
"Yeah, so that means you have 19 brothers in total. YAY" Mario joked
"there goes my chances of having a boyfriend" I mutter but I guess grandpa heard me
"boyfriend? no boyfriend until you are 30" he stated
"papà ha 17 anni può avere un fidanzato" dad insists
"I am hungry can we go eat? " Matteo whines
"When are you not hungry " Ciro teases
they are just like me and Lucas
"let's go to the dining room we can talk more there. " alexander chimes in
we don't go to the normal dining room instead we go to the bigger one and it was decorated so beautifully.
"I love coming here. I like feeling rich" Leo sights
"you're also rich ?" Enzo pointed out
"oh yeah I forgot " he chuckled
"dumbass" fabian says while he hits Leo in the back of his head
"ow vale look how mean Fabi is" Leo whines
I laugh
we all sit down in an order grown-up with grandpa and grandma while the older cousins sat in the middle and as always younger cousins at the end
"lei a l'italiano?" he asks dad
oh yeah I haven't told them I speak many languages
"no non credo" he guessed
he looks at me for any sign of understanding.
I put a confused look to trick them into thinking I don't know Italian.
dad tells the maids to bring in the food. while they bring it in everyone asks me questions.
I was getting a bit overwhelmed with all the questions and I guess Domenico noticed
"how about we ask the questions later and let her eat " he suggests
everyone nods their heads and goes into conversation with each other
I send a great full smile to him and he smiles back
should I ask what the family business is?
fuck it
"I have a question. what's the family business?" I ask
everyone tenses up and the mood gets dark.
what's the big deal of the family business?
"non le hai ancora parlato degli affari di famiglia?" my uncle Dante asks
Translation: you still haven't told her about the family business?
"Non c'è stato un bel momento" he sights
Translation: There hasn't been a good time
"we own hotels, hospitals, casinos that's pretty much what the family business is " dad explains
"oh okay "I reply
why do I feel like he's lying
we continue eating. after everyone was done the adults decide to have a meeting in Dad's office.
only adults and cousins older than 21 were allowed in the meeting.
since alexander, Elijah, roman, David, Dominico, damino, Marco, and Antonio were older than 21 they were allowed in the meeting.
"What should we do since we aren't allowed in the meeting?" Gianni asked
"Should we go in the pool? I haven't been there yet" I suggest
"YOU HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE POOL YET? it's decided we are doing the pool" Matteo says
"Alright everyone go change and we'll meet at the pool in 10 minutes " Enzo instructs
"last one upstairs has to train with grandpa tmr" Ciro yells already halfway up the stairs
"OH HELL NAH MOVE OUT THE WAY" everyone screams pushing and tripping each other
I let everyone pass me.
"ooo vale gonna have to train with grandpa tmr good luck " Marco teases before walking away
I walk into my room and head to my closet. I look at my swimsuits for a while until I decide on a cute black one-piece one
I put some waterproof foundation on bruises and take some painkillers.
once I am done I head downstairs and see everyone waiting for me.
"now that everyone here's let's go," Giovanni says
we relaxed around in the pool for a bit until me and Vinnie had a great plan.
I get onto Vinnie shoulders and scream
"CHICKEN FIGHT"
it was everyone against everyone. me and Vinnie won
we were all tired after chicken fighting for a while so we decide to rest on the lounge chairs.
"there taking a long time. what do you think the meetings is about? "I ask
"Probably about you," Fabian says
What about me tho?
