Nicole's POV:

i got up out of bed and walked over to my closet trying to find something to wear. after looking for what felt like forever i finally found something

i grabbed my favorite pair of black jeans and a cropped long sleeve shirt that was stripped and red and black i grabbed my black high top vans that were sitting on the shelf.

i walked into the bathroom undressing and stepping into the shower washing my hair thoroughly making sure all of the soap was out. i washed my body next i let the water hit my body running down my sides.

i stepped out of the shower and dried off leaving my hair wrapped. i washed my face and brushed my teeth. i got dressed and took my hair out of the towel, i blow dried it and brushed it out after, i left it down and did my makeup

after i was done i turned the light off to the bathroom and walked out of the room closing the door behind me. i walked downstairs to see Alessandro waiting by the stairs.

he looked up and me and out his hand out. i took his hand and walked down the rest of the steps, we walked out of the house and he opened the car door for me. he walked around to the drivers side and got it.

"you look beautiful angel" he said kissing my hand

a small blush appeared on my face and a i smiled softly.

"thank you" i said smiling at him. he didn't tell me what the name of the restaurant was but it was a 15 minute drive into the city. his hand was on my thigh drawing small circles with his thumb. i didn't stop him because i didn't want him too.

we pulled up to the restaurant and it was beautiful. it was small and you could smell the food from outside. it smelt amazing. i wonder how it found it.

Alessandro got out of the car and he walked around opening the door for me. i stepped out and he shut the door behind me, we walked into the restaurant together. the inside was quiet, no one was there except us. it was homey

we were sat at a booth in the back soon someone came out to take out orders i looked up and saw that it was Alessandro's grandmother, rosa. i was happy that he remembered i wanted to eat here.

"you remembered?" i asked Alessandro

he nodded his head and smiled.

"what can i get for you Nicole" she said with a small smile, her saying my name made me so happy

"i'll have the pasta with red white, thank you" i said looking at her still

Alessandro order the same pasta as i did. after a few minutes rosa came out with our food and set it in-front of us, she walked off after leaving me and Alessandro alone.

we sat and ate for a while until Alessandro stopped talking, the only thing j could here in the back was the faint soft music playing. Alessandro cleared his throat to say something.

"Nicole...i've been wanting to say this for a while but i never knew how to say it, you are the person that makes me day light up. when i see your face everything is better, everything feels like it's okay to be okay when i'm around you. you have made me that happiest i've ever been in a while. i know i may not show it and i never did because i didn't know if you felt the same, so i guess what i'm trying to say is will you be my girlfriend?" he said holding my hand and looking in my eyes.

i was so taken aback by his works i didn't know what to say, my eyes started to fill with tears. i didn't know he felt like that. i thought he was just doing all of it because he was a cruel mafia leader, but no he actually feel for me how i feel for him, before i knew it a tear streamed down my face i wiped it quickly trying not to have makeup running down my face. i finally responded to him.

"yes, yes Alessandro i will be your girlfriend. i didn't want to tell you how i felt because i didn't know if you would feel that same way i did" i said back while more tears came out of my eyes. great

Alessandro looked so relieved when i said that i would be his girlfriend, it was all so new to me i didn't know how to react either. he got out of his seat and walked up to me grabbing me by my face kissing me passionately. this was it, this is the person i had fallen in love with that i first saw at a tattoo shop. the man i will always love no matter what happens. and that was it. that was how i fell in love with a mafia leader. ———————
