It took the three of us 2 hours to unpack everything from my shopping bags. Arianna wanted to make everything colours coded and got mad every time Alano put one of my crop tops with the t-shirts.
"You have slaved us around enough already, it's your duty as our favorite cousins to feed us!" Alano demanded me when we're done.
"Alright fine follow me" I said to them. Arianna quickly grabs Els from off the bed and took her with us to the dinning hall, where almost everyone was which surprised me a little. There was lunch on the table.
Me and the twins sat down and took our own plates from the pile and started loading food onto them.
"So what have you guys been doing all this time upstairs?" Emily asks us curiously.
Alano swallowed the food in his mouth before replying. "Well that one made us help with putting away all her clothes" He pointed his finger at me.
"I didn't make you to do anything, you could of stopped anytime you wanted" I rolled my eyes.
"Really? If I knew that then I wouldn't have done anything in the first place"
"Exactly why we didn't tell you" I said taking another bite of my food.
"You barley did anything to begin with so I don't know why your complaining" Arianna added.
"Shut up the both of you!" Alano ordered.
Me and Arianna continued to gang up on Alano not realizing that the others at the table are watching our whole interactions.
"You all seem really close" Carmine commented smiling.
Me and the twins looked at each other and shrugged at the same time. It was kinda hard for us not to be close because of our moms. It was their goal to make us bestfriends.
"I guess you can say that"
Arianna phone vibrated from its spot on the table. She checked it and her eyes almost fallen out of it's sockets because of how they opened.
"Mom texted me saying she's outside"
"How did she know we're here?" Alano asked shocked at new found information.
"She has this tracker thingy on us. Let's go if we make her wait for even a minute then our punishment might be worsen"
"Wha-you know what, at this point I'm not even surprised at the things she does anymore" He said before quickly stuffing the last bit of food in his mouth and standing, joining his at the end of the table.
"Thank you for allowing us to hide out for a bit" Arianna thanked both Leandro and Vincenzo.
"Don't say it like that! You make it sound like we're fugitives!" Alano says lightly nudging his twin.
"You welcome. The two of you came over anytime" Leandro said.
The twins gave me a hug telling me they call me later if their not grounded then rushed out the room.
"By the way Abriana well be going out for dinner tonight so be ready by 7:30. Wear something nice" Vincenzo informed me as he walked out the room with Leandro and the other older ones.
I picked up Els from off the ground and brought her upstairs with me. I lay down on my bed petting Els fur.
My eyes started to get tired so I closed my eyes for a few minutes, soon those minutes turned into hours and before I knew it, I woken up only having 30 minutes to get ready.
I rushed into the shower taking a quick 10 minute shower then hitting out with a towel wrapped around me and into my closet.
I grabbed a platted skirt and matched it with a black long sleeve turtle neck shirt and sockings that matched my skin since there was bruises on my legs. Most of them are either gone or just starting to heal.
When I'm done changing I sat at the vanity and put on some concealer, highlighter, mascara and lip gloss.
Once satisfied with what I did, I walked back into my bedroom, quickly gave Els her dinner and a dog treat as a dessert that Nino picked out for her when shopping.
I speed walked to the foyer to see almost everyone already waiting.
Rocco glanced at and gave a slight glare."You skirt is too short. Change" snarled.
"The day I listen to you about what I'm wearing is the day you fix your attitude" I said seriously, looking him in the eyes.
Honestly though what is his problem? I barley even talked to the guy and he hates me, same goes with Lanzoni. He's always sending me glares whenever he thinks I don't see him. I'm nice enough not to call him out for it yet. A person can only be nice so long.
I pretended to do something on my phone as the rest of us wait so no one would try and talk to me.
We only had to wait another 5 minutes for Vincenzo and Leandro and the other older ones.
Valentino wiggled out of Davide arms and ran up to me. "Were gonna sit together at dinner weather you like it or not!" He declared.
"No. If you rephrase that sentence and ask then I might change my mind"
Valentino thought about what I said for a moment then complied."Can you please sit beside me at dinner?"
Is it mean that I still wanted to tell him no?
"Sure"
"You look nice" Davide complimented standing before me with his usual soft smile.
"What about the rest of us?" Gino asked coming from behind us.
"What about the rest of you?" Davide asks bordly.
"You walked past the rest of us and complimented her"
"Can I not complimented my baby sister?"
"You can but it wouldn't hurt to do the same for us especially me since I do look better then them" Gino said confidently earning him some glares for the others.
Davide rolled his eyes."Your right it wouldn't hurt but I choose not too"
Gian folded his arms like a kid and went to stand beside his twin.
"Thank you, you look good yourself" I say returning his smile from earlier.
"The limos are here" Leandro announced walking out the front doors with Isabella on his left and Vincenzo on his right with Emily on his right.
The rest of us followed after them. The limo was waiting for us at the end of the steps.
Davide quickly told my that there is divided into 2. Everyone 19 or younger sits in the second section and everyone older sits in the first section.
The first few minutes into the drive was great until Valentino started ranting about the food he's going to eat and what he likes and doesn't. It was times like these I wished I had my earphones with me. After a good 25 minutes of listening to Valentino talk Gino finally broke.
"I swear if you don't shut up then I'll rip open your stuff animal" Gino threatened looking him dead in the eyes.
They stared at each for 5 seconds before Valentino's eyes started to water, then lip started to quiver.
Before we know he's sobbing.
I sent a very hard glare to Gino who seemed to be taken back then shrugged.
Letting out a long sigh I unblocked Valentino's seat belt and placed him in my lap. I guided his head to rest on my shoulder and rubbed his back. Soon his sobs turned into hiccups then his hiccups turned into quiet whimpers, then everything went silent except for the sound of the car driving.
I tried putting him back in his seat but he imedently wrapped his legs around my waist. I left out another sigh and let him stay where he is.
The second I feel something wet on my shoulder or fall asleep he's either going into someone else arms or back in his spot.
I absolutely hate when someone drools on me.
I played on my phone for the next 20 minutes until the limo finally came to a stop.
"Just so you know there's going to be paparazzi rapidly taking photos of us and asking questions. I think Davide or someone will open your door for you. Just ignore them and stay behind us. I'll take Valentino from you" Giannino informed me.
I nod my head and gave him his brother. The boys waiting until Valentino was fully awake before exiting. When the door opened I could hear people shouting out questions and cameras flashing.
Moments later my door opened. Sergio held his hand out offering to help me. I took and got up.
Bright lights instantly started flashing everywhere making it hard to see. People started shout out questions like who is she? Or is that your sister?
None of what they were asking made me show any type of emotion, that is until some guy yelled is that your girlfriend? I couldn't help but look slightly disgusted. I mean who wouldn't be if someone asked if your dating a family member.
Sergio lead me by my shoulders to where the others where. Valentino was now being held by Rocco who was cover his face from all the flashing.
Once we reached them Leandro nodded at us and started walking inside with the rest of us behind him.
When the doors to the restaurant were shut behind us all the noise the paparazzi were making was completely gone.
A waited came and greeted Vincenzo and Leandro then showed us to our table in the middle of the room. We took our seats. Valentino wiggled his way out of Rocco's arms and and sat down in the seat beside mine and gave me a toothy grin.
I couldn't stop the smile that formed on my lips. He may talk to much and be clingy at times but he's annoyingly cute for his own good.
The waiter came back and handed us all menus and left once again after telling us he'll be back soon to take our orders.
