Soon after they landed, Nevaeh snacking on cookies and brownies that Jonathan had made before they left, he woke up extra early and baked them himself with love.
He felt happiness surge inside him when she first tried them, she loved them, her face said it all, her eyes twinkled as she looked at him, then gave him a long sweet kiss as a thank you.
She has a sweet tooth, that's what they found out after spending time with her, and if they could get it for her, something she loves but didn't have the privilege of trying, why wouldn't they get it for her?
She deserve the world and more, and they'll make sure to get her everything her beautiful heart desires.
Nevaeh walked down the last step of the jet and set her feet on the Italian grounds, it was cold, a light dust of snow covering the grounds and cars.
She shivered, tugging at her sleeves to cover the palms of her hands.
A black jacket was draped over her shoulders, warming her instantly. She looked behind her shoulder, finding Hades looking down at her with his usual cold hazel eyes.
She smiled at him, her dimples making an appearance, he kissed her cold knuckles in response.
A guard wearing a long thick black coat over his black suit approached Theodore, his eyes lingering on Nevaeh for a slight second before averting his eyes.
"Don." The guard spoke, bowing his head as a sign of respect.
Theodore nodded his head, blankly looking around the vast area before looking at the guard again,
"Hai perquisito i locali?" Theodore asked in his mother tongue, his Italian accent thick and heavy.
It made her feel wet, made her stomach flip and fill with butterflies.
She bit her lip and looked away from him, looking around, she still couldn't believe that she was in Italy, she's always wanted to travel, and now this was her first destination and hopefully she'll get to travel more with the men.
They exchanged a few words before Theodore gestured them to go over and to get in the car, they walked over and Nevaeh stopped and looked at them, her lips in a pout and an innocent look in her eyes,
"Shotgun?" She asked, hope in her eyes.
"Shotgun." They spoke at the same time, nodding their heads for her to go ahead.
An excited sequel left her lips and she immediately jumped in the front.
A small smile took over their faces and they silently but happily went in the back, Eliot sitting and putting Nevaeh's bag on his lap.
Soon enough they started heading towards Theodore's childhood home. Nevaeh was nervous to say the least, her stomach turned upside down and she started feeling nauseous as they neared.
She put a hand on her stomach as the feeling increased, she instantly put the window down and breathed in the fresh cold air, her eyes burned from unshed stressed tears.
A hand was gently placed on her thigh, giving it a gentle squeeze in reassurance. She looked at Theo, his gaze was still focused on the road ahead of him, but his actions proved otherwise.
"Breath, Nevaeh." He spoke, his voice cutting through the silence in the car.
She did as she was told, breathing in deeply then letting it out, she did this a couple more times till she was sure she got herself put together and making sure her heartbeat was normal.
She put her tiny soft hand on top of his big veiny tattooed one, running her fingertips on his tattooed knuckles, then playing with his cold silver rings.
"Are you ready?" He glanced at her from the corner of his eye, slowing down when he saw a bump approaching.
She blew out a breath, she didn't have an answer, what was she supposed to say? She was going to meet their parents, it's a huge deal was is nerve wrecking.
"Do I look okay?!" She asked, panicked as she looked at herself in the mirror, checking if she looked approachable.
"You look stunning, absolutely stunning, just relax." Jonathan spoke, and the others nodded their heads in agreement to his words.
"I can't." She whispered, slumping her shoulders against the seat in defeat.
"They'll love you, don't worry." Eliot assured her.
She nodded without speaking another word, hoping that what they said is the truth and they really do love her.
A huge black gate appeared soon after, he drove towards it and stopped, rolling down the window to type in a code making the gate open.
After it opened Theo started driving again till a big beautiful mansion came into view. Nevaeh's mouth dropped open, her eyes wide with shock and amazement.
Men black coats were all over the place, they all stopped what they were doing once their car came into view.
They guys opened their doors and stepped out, Nevaeh stayed put tho, she didn't want to get out, and besides they always open the door for her and not even a second later, just as she predicted the door was opened by Angel.
She shook her head and scooted away from him, her hands shook uncontrollably, she was making a big deal out of this, but she couldn't help it, it was their parents, and if they don't like her she didn't want it to affect her relationship with them, they were a part of her life now, and she couldn't see herself without them.
Angel's face softened, heaving out a soft sigh, he leaned down, cupping her face with both of his hands, "You're gonna be okay, Tesoro." He gave her a sweet kiss and kept reassuring her till she finally agreed to get out of the car.
Nevaeh stepped out, looking up at the magnificent mansion in front of her, the light layer of snow on the roof with the dark sky, looked like something coming out of a movie, it looked beautiful.
She looked at the men, they were already looking at her with a reassuring look, and so with a deep breath she walked towards them.
They walked towards the entrance, Nevaeh's hold on her bag tightening as she took in nervous breaths.
Theo stood at the door that was immediately opened by a butler, the middle aged man bowing his head.
"Sirs, welcome." He opened the door wider for them, he hasn't noticed Nevaeh as she was hiding behind their tall frames, shielding her away from anyones gaze.
As the man closed the door, his eyes widened as he finally noticed her, his mouth dropping open in shock.
"Oh, hello dear, I didn't know that we're having a guest." He spoke, his gentle tone relaxing her a tiny bit, he was nice, she hoped he'd be the rest of the stay.
"Hello, I'm Nevaeh." Nevaeh introduced herself, smiling a bit and putting her hand out for a handshake.
The man looked at her, returning her smile and shaking her outstretched hand. Yet a shocked look was still on his face.
"Well hello Nevaeh, I'm Franco, it's nice to meet you!" His soft smile eased her nerves, his hand warm as it wrapped around her cold one.
"Franco, Nevaeh is a special guest, I want everything perfect, I want nothing but the best for her." Theodore spoke, his voice serious and his face blank.
Franco nodded, glancing at them for a minute before speaking, "Of course Don, everything will be to your liking, please, follow me." He gestured before walking ahead.
Nevaeh was looking around, the house felt warm and cozy, and actually felt like a home, a real home, not just brick and walls, but you could actually feel the homeyness in it, pictures hung on the wall, lots of them.
A warm hand wrapped itself around her own, Jonathan was beside her, holding her hand gently, running his thumb over her knuckles.
They didn't say anything, she just squeezed his hand as a thank you and he squeezed hers back in response.
She suddenly heard chatter from behind a big closed wooden door, gold accents decorating it.
She gulped, the eased nerves going out the window, replaced by self doubt and insecurity.
She looked beside her, Jonathan giving her a nod and a soft smile, his eyes filled with adoration.
She gave a nervous smile back and nodded.
Franco opened the door for them, being met by loud talking.
They walked in the big living room that was filled with a lot of people, some drinking and some eating, some looking at their phones and others doing whatever.
"My baby!" A woman screeched.
Im sorry about the late update guys, I'll hopefully update sooner.
