Family cookouts are the most chaotic thing ever.
————————————————————————
Once my eyes force themselves open , I come to find that I happen to be alone. Dominico must have got up before me as his side of the bed is still warm and carrying his mouth watering scent.
I peel the covers off my body and groan lifting myself out of bed noticing the ache between my legs.
The reminder of what that man can do comes rushing back to my mind, impurifying all of my thoughts.
Jumping in the shower, I did my usual routine, wash, shave, exfoliate... you know the drill.
Apparently I spent an hour and a half in the shower, probably due to the mini concert I had with Beyoncé's album.
I promise it's not my fault.
The album is just amazing.
Having put my outfit on, I stare in the mirror over thinking everything about it.
No, we are not doing this Sienna.
The clothes are fine.
You are a bad bitch.
I dragged my eyes away from my daunting reflection so I couldn't make any dumb and irrational decisions to change again.
I notice that the commotion downstairs has begun to increase and my guess was the guests had started to arrive.
Nerves began to fill me from my head straight to my fingertips.
Not wanting to face it alone I called Fiorella and told her to come with me.
Happily she agreed and when she set foot in my room I was astonished at how amazing she looks.
She was wearing a white dress which vividly showed her baby bump, her hair was in beach waves and she had natural makeup on. she looked beautiful.
"Ok but how do you look that good pregnant?" I complain.
She sends me a wink and I know exactly why.
Walking downstairs, I kind of lost Fio in the crowd but I didn't mind because I had spotted Adriano.
Making my way towards him I accidentally bumped into a girl, her drink spilling, luckily it missed both of us.
She looked a little younger than me, though she was still very pretty, she had green eyes and long black hair.
"I'm so sorry, my bad." I apologise embarrassed.
"No it's ok, you look nice by the way." She smiles back to me.
Ok I already like this girl.
"So do you. I'm Sienna." I reply leaning my hand out for her to shake.
"I'm Léa." She smiles accepting my gesture.
By the time our conversation comes to an end, I happen to have lost sight of Adriano.
Gosh why does he have to move so much?
My little search mission for him failed so I made my way to the backyard, I was starting to get claustrophobic in the house.
I felt a lot of stares on me, I don't know whether it was because of who I am or something was wrong with me.
I don't know, either way it made me feel uncomfortable.
Bitch I have anxiety, I don't like this!
To my luck, I spot Dominico leaning against the door frame looking as fine as ever.
He was wearing a dress shirt and dress pants, yet it gave off a more casual look, his muscles and tattoos still visible through it.
He is staring immensely at me, a smile growing across his face as he takes in my body.
I smile back hiding the feeling his eyes give me.
Just as I am about to walk over towards him I feel something tug on my leg.
Looking down, I see a little girl, I shoot her a small confused smile.
She continues to tug on me, then I realise she wants to say something.
I bend down slightly to let her know I'm listening.
"You look like the girl from that princess movie." She says causing me to smile.
"Awh, which one?" I question giving her a small hug.
"I think her names Ursula." She says bluntly.
I hear snorts behind me and turn around to see all of the boys.
"You little-." Dominico jumps in between me and the girl.
"Sienna, you can't beat up a five year old." He tells me.
Lies.
"I won't beat her up, I'll just...step on her." I say giving the girl an evil look.
Adriano runs over and picks her up,placing multiple kissing on her cheeks.
"Sienna, this is Miya, my personal favourite cousin." He smiles giving her a high five.
"Nice, hi kid." I say rolling my eyes at the rest of the boys still laughing.
Miya holds her arms out me me, wanting me to hold her.
Adriano shoots me this look telling me I can't really decline her. Fuck sake I'll hold this annoying kid.
In my arms she plays with my curls in my hair, "your pretty." She says placing a small kiss on my cheek.
"Didn't you just call me Ursula?" I raise an eyebrow at her.
"Yeah because you look angry." She says her focus more on my hair than me.
Alright, Sure I'll take it.
"I need the bathroom." She whines
Oh hell naw.
I throw her to Adriano, "your favourite cousin, your duty." I say grabbing Dominico's arm and rushing off.
"You look good Sienna." He whispers into my ear causing me to blush.
Don't say my name. Don't say my name.
"You don't look to bad either." I reply back smirking.
"Ouch, it's like that?" He says grabbing his heart as if he's been stabbed.
I laugh at his stupidity not noticing him grab me by my waist and smash his lips into mine, the kiss was passionate and as always he led the way, allowing my mouth to follow his movements.
"Shut up." He says smiling before bringing his lips back to mine.
It was moments like these where I was content, regardless of everything, it seemed like life was going to be ok.
My arms wrapped around his neck, I stare deeply into his eyes, almost as if I'm seeing his whole life flash in front of me, the pain, the hurt, the happy times and his worst days, every emotion that he was feeling latched onto me, and I'll happily carry it for him.
Our deep contact is broken by a deep clearing of a throat. Excuse me I'm kind of admiring this Greek god right now.
Both me and Dominico turn our heads, I don't recognise the man I see before me, yet looking deeper I know exactly who he is.
"Father." Dominico smiles, relaxing himself from me but still keeping his grip firmly on my waist.
"Son." His dad nods towards him and gives me a confusing look.
"Enzo Vance." He gives his hand out to me, "So your the reason my son has been so hesitant to come home?" He asks.
I chuckle slightly, "I don't know, am I ?" I say raising an eyebrow towards Dominico.
"Hate to break it to you, but it's always been Adriano." He shrugs causing me to hit him on the back of his head.
"I'm Sienna." I say shaking his hand that had been left out for a while too long.
"I know who you are, the long lost D'Angelo daughter who found her way home." He smiles.
I guess that is me.
What a way to be known.
"You must be something special to have Dominico acting like this." He says taking a sip out of a champagne glass.
I hate when people say that because it makes me wonder, what the hell is it about me that draws Dom in so much? I'm no one special so what separates me from the rest of these girls?
"Nothing special, I'm just me." I chuckle not really knowing what to say. I felt Dom squeeze my waist slightly, probably disagreeing with my comment.
He better be.
"Léa!" Dominico calls out startling me and I see the same girl I bumped into earlier come walking over to us.
"Sienna, this is my sister." He says giving her a warm hug.
"We already met actually," she tells him giving me a hug.
"So Dominico with a girlfriend? I wouldn't have seen that one coming." She chuckles.
"Where are you from, your accent is...different?" She further questions.
"Born and raised in New York actually." I smile at her.
Bitch you were born here.
Shut up it just sounds better.
Her eyes widen slightly, "what brings you here?" She asks confused.
"Well actually..." I don't really know what to say.
How about my mom who I just found out was a ruthless murderer was killed so I went in search of my dad who happens to be the head of the Mafia and now Russians are after my head.
That would be ok?
"She's Stefano's daughter." Dominico tells her filling my absence of words.
"Oh shit, your the girl?" She replies shocked..
That's me.
"By any chance do you know where Adriano is?" She asks a smirk growing on her face.
"Uhuh no, Léa stay in your lane." Dominico reassures her but she just runs off.
"What was that about?" I ask him chuckling.
"She kind of has an obsessive crush on Adriano, it's pretty funny but weird." He tells me causing me to laugh shaking my head.
Walking around for a while, we found ourselves bored, I hadn't even met half of the family, there were just way to many people here, but that's for another day.
"Wanna go for a swim." Dominico smirks.
"She called me Ursula not Ariel." I sarcastically remark.
Then I realise what he's talking about, "no no no no no no, Dominico put me downnnn!" I whine as he lifts me off the ground.
"If a drop of water touches me I will kill you." I complain as he gets closer to the end.
"No no no, stop DOMINICO." I roar grabbing onto his body for dear life.
"DOMINICO—- stop... please...stop."
"Give me a good reason." He chuckles.
"YOU HAVE NICE HAIR...UM- YOU ARE NOT THAT OBNOXIOUS." I ramble on.
"Nope, not good enough." He shakes his head.
"I won't be a raging bitch." I smile innocently.
The lies.
He ignores my pleas.
"FUCK UM- I - I love you."
Shit did I just say that.
