Nicole's POV:

we finally landed and i was the only one awake. i looked over at enzo who was sleeping with his mouth open. and alessandro who had his head tilted back and eyes closed. i got up and unplugged my headphones walking up to enzo.

i walked over to enzo and plugged his nose causing him not to breathe through his nose. he shot up from his sleep.

"wake up" i said whispering into his ear but also popping the "p"

"fuck nicole what's wrong with you!!" he said rubbing his nose

i couldn't help but laugh at him. i swear he's like a child.

"you're evil" he said getting up. i just rolled my eyes at him walking toward alessandro. i tapped him on the shoulder scared to do what i did to enzo to him.

"wake up" i said

he groaned and rubbed his eyes drinking the rest of his whiskey and getting up. enzo grabbed the luggage as alessandro and i walked out of the jet.

we got to the car and the door was opened for me by the guy waiting by the car. i got into the car while alessandro got in behind me. enzo was putting all the bags into the back and got in the passenger seat.

the ride to his mothers house was about an hour and a half. we kept driving through the streets of Rome. it was so beautiful out here. i like it. i could see myself living here. but it would definitely be different from New York. i looked out the window the whole time looking at all the buildings.

i saw alessandro doing the same thing. it looked like he missed living here but something told me he didn't actually miss living here. all the buildings are gone and we turned down a long dirt road. we finally pulled up to the house. it was beautiful, the front was decorated with rose bushes and many other flowers

there was a brick drive way and steps leading up to the house that were concrete almost. there were two statues standing on the sides of the steps. the porch had a wooden swing hanging on it with a few pillows on it.

the car stopped and we stepped out. and alessandro's mother came out of the house with her hair tied up and in a robe. her skin was perfect she didn't look a day over 50. she had olive colored skin like alessandro and she was short but taller than me.

she walked up to alessandro with a big smile and a warm hug.

"i missed you sandro, you should come visit me more. it's good to see you son." she said standing on her toes to hug him.

she noticed me and her mouth dropped.

"oh my goodness. and who is this beauty!! why didn't you tell me sandro. she's gorgeous" she said excitedly

"what's your name sweetheart?" she asked me holding my waist

"nicole" i said looking at her

"that's a beautiful name love, come come let's get you inside" she said waving her hands.

"my name is gianna. but you can call me gia for short" she said with a warm smile.

"i'm expecting some grandchildren from you two" she said taking me inside.

"oh me and alessandro aren't together" i said nervously chuckling. i never liked kids. i hated them. always. i don't see myself having kids. and the thought of giving birth to a little demon that's going to cry the whole time scares me.

"you will be one day. i can feel it, you two would be perfect for each other, you might even bring him out of this mode he's always in" she said walking into the kitchen and i followed behind her.

i turned around to see enzo and alessandro bringing the bags in. enzo took them upstairs and after a few minutes later he came back downstairs. he walked into the kitchen seeing gia in the kitchen with me.

"so everyone else can get a hug but i cant" enzo said leaning on the door frame

"oh enzo come here, you know i love you" she said hitting him softly

this was nice, i wish my mother was like this, but she's not because well i killed her. oh well.

alessandro walked in the kitchen seeing all of us standing there. not looking too happy. but he always looks like that.

"sandro whats wrong?" gia asked him walking up to him cupping his face.

"nothing i'm fine. just tired, it's late and we have a lot to do tomorrow" he said taking gia's hands off of his face.

shit. i forgot about the ball tomorrow night. he was right, it was late and we had been on a plane all day not getting good rest.

"i suppose you're right. we'll go ahead and go upstairs and rest" she said looking at him.

"goodnight ma" he said bending down to give her a kiss on the cheek and walking away. enzo and alessandro all said their good nights and walked upstairs to their rooms. i was the last to go upstairs when i saw alessandro in the hallway.

"what are you doing up so late nicole" he said getting closer

"i was talking to your mother, is that so bad?" i said calmly

"no it's not" he said dragging his finger across my jaw. he stopped for a second and looking my eyes. he walked away after a little bit and went to his room.

what the hell was that.....

i walked to my room to go change and get into bed. i changed into a pair of sweats and and black t-shirt. i looked at the time and saw that it was 3am. already? how?

"well happy 20th to me" i said out loud and got into bed shutting my eyes falling asleep.
