Today has been...interesting.

I sit on the bar stool in the kitchen, Blake and Dante next to me, Riccardo and Enrico filling the other seats. Blake holding an ice pack to his face and holding his ribs. Dante holding an ice pack to his nose, the same with Enrico who also has one on his crotch. Riccardo holding a towel to his nose and lips. Me holding an ice pack to my shoulder and left side.

"Well?!" Nonna begins. As we decide to stay silent she continues, "What did you really think this would do!? All you have done is fight each other and hurt Adriana in the process?!"

"She started the whole thing!" Dante responds, voice raised.

"I DID NOT!" Okay, I did.

..........

10 o'clock in the morning. a few hours earlier.

I have just gotten dressed to go out on my date with Blake.



(Ankle boots instead of heel and no bag)

This morning Blake came to my bedroom and told me to wear something I would be comfortable in. So I decided on a pair of black ripped jeans and one of my favourite tops.

We agreed to meet outside at 10 o'clock so I made my way outside. I didn't bother telling my brothers as Ezio and Alfonso already knew where I was going. I walk out the door and see Blake stood by his black Porsche. He's wearing a black tee and jeans, his dark hair gelled back.

"Wow" I all he says when he see me.

"Nice to see you too." I tells him. He pulls me towards him by my waist and leans down to kiss me, but stops last minute.

I follow his line of vision and see Ezio glaring at Blake through the living room window. I playfully smirk to myself and bring a nervous Blake down for a kiss. He stays stunned for a moment before he kisses me back. Deciding to piss off Ezio more, I take Blake's hand and put it on my ass, making him moan into my mouth.

We pull back when we hear a loud bang. I look back at the house and find a bullet hole in a wall in the living room. The front door opens and a seething Ezio stands there, gun in hand.

"Get in the car." Is all Blake says as he opens my door and runs around the back, trying to block Ezio's aim at him. Laughing I get in and close the door. By the time I strap myself Blake has already set the car into gear and is driving out of the gate.

"Are you trying to get me killed?!" He playfully yells at me as I giggle.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." I sarcastically reply.

"Your gonna be the death of me." He mutters making me laugh more.

"Where are we going?" I ask after we had been driving for fifteen minutes.

"Well you'll have to wait until we get there." Huffing I fold my arms and pout, which only makes him laugh at me more.

Ten minutes later we pull up in a dodgy part of town ontop of a bridge with a tunnel underneath.

"Come on." He tells me as he opens my car door to get out. Looking around I notice there is no one here and theres broken beer bottles around the streets.

"If your gonna kill me, couldn't you have picked a better place to do it." Shaking his head he chuckles and takes my hand. He pulls me down a little mud path at the side of the bridge towards the tunnel. A black duffle bag in his hand.

"I'm not going to kill you." He tells me. I nod my head suspiciously towards the bag in his hands and he laughs even more. He reaches in and pulls out a can of blue spray paint.

"Great murder weapon mafia man." I say.

"For fuck sake I'm not going to kill you." He jokes.

"So why are we here?" Now his face heats up as blush crawls onto his cheeks.

"Well...um...I asked Ezio what you used to do back in England and he showed me loads of Instagram photos of you doing graffiti... and I thought we could do it here."

I stand there in shock for a moment. As he goes to say something I run up to him and kiss him. Wrapping my legs around his torso, he catches me and kisses me back straight away. We pull back to catch a breath, our foreheads resting against each other.

"I'm guessing you like it." He whispers against my lips.

"Thank you. This is the most anyone has done to remind me of England."

"You don't have to thank me. As long as your happy." He tell me. I nod my head showing him how happy I am making him laugh.

He sets me down and I dash for the bag. The bag is full of different colour spray paints. Blake follows after me and we start spraying the walls of the tunnel. Every once in a while Blake would come up behind me and kiss the side of my head as I work.

After a few hours we were done and eating our food. Him leaning against the opposite wall with me sat between his legs as we eat some chicken burgers.



"I never knew you were so good at art." I tell him as we look at each others designs.

"It's not something I show to most people." He mumbles as he rests his chin on my head.

It's now 6 o'clock at night and we were sat in comfortable silence.

"Adriana." Blake grabs my attention. I turn my head to look up at him from behind me. Nodding my head to show I'm listening. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

Not really knowing what to say I just stare blankly at him. He looks down at me and continues. "I know it's our first date and everything, but I have known you for a while now, and everytime I see you I like you even more. Of course I understand if you say no because I'm two years older than you and I'm not exactly perfect an-" I cut him off as I bring him down for a kiss.

The kiss is long and passionate. I turn around and he lifts me by my waist to put me on his lap. With a leg either side of him, I hold onto his neck as we continue to deeply kiss each other. Our tongues dancing together as he holds his firm grip on my waist.

"Yes." Is all I tell him when we pull away. And for the first time, Blake smiles. A genuine joyful smile.

After Blake and I finished up with our food and...other stuff. We arrived back home. We walk through the front door and stop at the stairs. He pulls me back for another kiss. But we were so rudely interrupted by him being flung off me and thrown into the living room.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Yells my oh so dear brothers and cousin. Dante, Riccardo and Enrico stand there, hands pulled into fist and faces red in anger.

I run up to Blake and help him get up from the floor. "What the hell is wrong with you three!" I scream at them.

"WHY WAS HE KISSING YOU!" Riccardo yells in return.

"Why does it matter?!" I respond. By now Blake and I are stood opposite three very angry and very violent family members.

"YOU SHOULDN'T BE KISSING ANYONE!" Enrico yells back.

"I think I should be allowed to kiss my boyfriend!" I shout back. All three of them stand there in shock.

"You probably could have said that at a better time." Blake mutters in my ear.

"Yeah didn't think that through." I whisper back. Once they regain their sense, Dante pulls his fist back. Out of instinct Blake pushes me back towards a wall out of the way as Dante punches him in the jaw. I run back over to pull Dante and Riccardo away as they start fighting Blake, who is doing pretty good at standing his ground. But Enrico sees what I am about to do and holds he me back.

"Stop it Adriana!" He yells as he turns me around to face him. I fling my head back and head butt him in the nose, hearing a crack, yet his strong grip doesn't loosen. I bring my knee up and hit him where the sun don't shine. He groans in pain and drops to the floor. I turn back around and see both my brothers punching Blake in the ribs. Running over I pull back Dante who accidently hits my shoulder.

"Shit!" He yells once he sees it is me. But right now I don't care. He goes after Blake again so I punch him square in the face, braking his nose also. The punch meant for Blake hits me in my side, definatly going to leave a bruise but besides that nothing too bad.

Turning around once again I see Riccardo about to knock a beaten Blake unconscious so I do the only thing that comes to mind. I run in front of him. Fortunately Riccardo stops his hand from hitting my face.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE!" Nonna yells.

.....

And that is how we all ended up beaten bloody in the kitchen.

"So you attacked Blake because you caught him and Adriana kissing and found out he's her boyfriend." Nonna repeats. By now everyone else in the house is here. And surprisingly, they have all sided with me and Blake. Seems like the only people who didn't like the idea of me having a relationship with Blake, was Dante, Riccardo and Enrico.

"Yes! She has no idea how bad this is!" Riccardo yells, this time facing me and Blake.

"I really like her! Do you not trust me?!" Blake responds as he holds me, gently, in his arms.

Now Dante turns to Blake. "Your my best friend and your dating my little sister, who is currently underaged!"

"It's my birthday next week." I bluntly respond. I couldn't help but notice the smirk on Nonno's and Marco's face as I talk back.

"Adri, he's dangerous, he's in the mafia-"

"Your in the Mafia. My entire family is in the Mafia!"

"He's still dangerous!" Enrico fires back.

"YOUR AT HITMAN!"

"Well-um-" They all stutter out.

"As you can no see you have no arguments left. Give up. Blake is my boyfriend. And be happy it is someone you have known for a long time and you can trust instead of a dickhead from school." With that I stand up and go to my bedroom, Blake following behind me.

When we get there I collapse face first on my bed. I feel the mattress shift, telling me Blake has layed down beside me.

"I'm sorry your fighting with your brothers and cousin." He says as he stokes my hair. Lifting up I make my way to cuddle up to him as he has an arm open for me. I gently lay down, careful not to hurt his ribs.

"I'm sorry my brothers and cousin tried to kill you." I mutter as I hug him.

"It was bound to happen. At least it was worth it." He mumbles into my hair. "Get some sleep." He tells me. As he goes to get up out of the bed I pull him closer.

"Please stay with me." I asks him. Smiling he lays back down beside me. My head and arm resting on his chest as he plays with my hair, lulling me to sleep.
