Their Bella

Chapter 20

Bella's POV:

Damiano put the phone up to his ear as he answered it. He nodded and replied 'yes' a few times before hanging up the phone. 

"Alright, look's like our date has come to an end. Your brother has requested for me to bring you home." he said with a small smile. I stood up and got into the car. He drove us to my house and parked by the front door. He got out of the car and ran around the car to my car-door. He opened it and motioned for me to exit. I thanked him and got out. 

"I'm afraid that the evening is over. But, I would like to know if I could kiss you goodnight." he asked. I nodded in response. He leaned in closer and kissed me softly. Afterwards he rested his forehead on mine for a moment. "I hope to see you at school tomorrow. Bye." he said, whispering the last word. 

I walked in the door and saw my uncle seated on the stairs. He looked sad and sorrowful. I immediately walked over to him. 

"What's wrong Uncle?" I asked. He looked up at me with sad eyes. 

"Nothing nipote. Tomorrow is just a hard time for me. It's been six years since I last saw my big brother. But, we have you back so it will also be joyous." he explained. He got up and walked up to the bedroom that he stays in when he is here. 

I walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water and was met by all five of my older brothers. I gulped.

"Yes?" I asked, grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge. 

"How was your date?" Andre asked.

"Good." I replied, trying to keep my answer short. 

"It shouldn't have happened at all." I heard Gianni mumbled under his breath, to which I rolled my eyes. 

"I'm going to bed. I'll see you tomorrow." I told them before heading to my room. 

I walked to my bathroom and started the shower. The steam started billowing out soon after. I got in and soaked my hair thoroughly with water, before lathering my hair with vanilla shampoo. 

I quickly finished in the shower and then got out to put on a large t-shirt. I combed through my wet hair and then put it in a braid. I dove into bed, enjoying the cool sensation and then the accompanying warmth. I texted Damiano asking if he got home safely, to which he responded that he did. I quickly fell asleep completely forgetting what tomorrow is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I felt a heavy weight on my entire body, making it hard to breathe. I peeled my eyes open and saw all of my brothers laying on my bed. Andre had a smile pasted on his face and was holding a stack of waffles with a candle stuck in the middle. 

"What's going on?" I asked groggily. 

"It's your birthday sorellina. Did you forget?" Gianni said. My jaw went slack. I forgot my own birthday. 

"I guess I did forget. Wow." I told them. Andre shoved the plate into my lap and told me to make a wish. After I blew the candle out they all looked at me expectantly.

"Well? What did you wish for?" Alessio asked. I looked at him bewildered. Didn't he know the rules?

"I can't tell you, that would ruin the whole wish." 

"Please..." Leo begged.

"Well, if you have to know, I didn't wish for anything other than happiness to those around me." I truthfully told him. 

"That's a good wish sister." 

After their birthday wishes they left to allow me to get dressed. They also told me not to eat all the waffles because Eva was going to be making brunch. I threw some clothes on and ran down the stairs to see what was happening. After I made my way downstairs I smelled the delicious smell of bacon and waffles. I entered the kitchen and saw Eva taking a fluffy waffle out of the iron. 

"Oh my gosh, it smells so good." I told her. She turned around and flung her arms around me. 

"Happy 16th Birthday Isabella. I made you waffles, bacon, sausage, eggs, and hash-browns. If you want anything else I can make it. Whatever you want." she happily told me. 

"That sounds like a lot of food. I'm sure that what you made will be plenty good enough." I smiled. 

"Good grab a plate and get what you want." she said as she deposited a plate in my hands. I walked over to the counter and got some waffles, bacon, and hash-browns. I put some some syrup on the waffles and took a seat at the counter. Andre and Dante walked in and got some food before sitting on either side of me. Leo, Alessio, and Gianni came in shortly after, they also grabbed platefuls of food. 

"Eva, there is enough food. Please grab some and sit with us." Alessio told her before patting the stool next to him. She smiled before doing just that. 

We all finished our brunch and I helped Eva clean up the kitchen, I went back upstairs to my room. I was only upstairs for a few minutes before I heard Dante calling for me in the living room. I went back down the stairs to see what he wanted. 

"Yes Dante?" I questioned.

"Will you watch The Polar Express with me?" he pleaded. 

"Seriously?" I asked, "Of course, as if that is even a question?" He chuckled before moving the pillow beside him, allowing me to sit down. We watched the movie for the afternoon until Damiano called me. I took the call into the dining room. 

"Hello?" I answered.

 "Happy Birthday Bella. Are you having a good day?" he asked. 

"Yes I am. Dante and I are watching The Polar Express. What are you doing?" I responded.

"I'm am with my father doing some work and remembered that it is your birthday." he told me. I heard someone call him in the background of the phone call. "I'm sorry bella but I have to go. I will call you later." He hung the phone up, then I went back to watching the movie. 

After Dante and I finished the movie I went back to my room. On the way there I saw Andre and Jake in the kitchen making cupcakes. Not only were they making cupcakes, but they were also making a pigsty...Eva is going to be pissed. 

"You better clean up the kitchen before Eva sees." I laughed. 

"I tried telling him that, and he said he will clean it up." Jake said as he wiped flour off his nose.

"Well, I wish you the best of luck. Talk to you later." I waved to them both before continuing upstairs to watch the Originals and relax some more.
