CHAPTER 18: Hello piccola bellezza

Lexis POV;

"Wait!"

I turned back at the sound of Dreas shout.

"It's almost evening now. Stay hear tonight please..." she said, giving me her puppy dog eyes.

"That's right. Alexis, stay for the night alright. You wouldn't turn down the request of an old lady like me, right?"

This family can really act!

"But, I.."

"It's decided then! You can stay in my room, with me. Oh this is gonna be so fun!"

Drea interrupted me and dragged me up the stairs without giving me another chance to speak.

She obviously knows why I don't want to stay. No wonder she is avoiding eye contact.

I finally decided to give in as we entered Dreas room.

"Woah! I knew you liked pink, but this is seriously..." I really didn't know how to describe the large pink clad room.

"Oh please, it's just girly, alright. Now here, go freshen up and we can have a game of...well something, before we go down for dinner."

I was still a bit reluctant as I was pushed into the huge bathroom. Sighing out loud, I washed myself and freshened up before pulling on the tight blue jeans and white tank top Drea lent me.

As I got out Drea dashed into the washroom at a speed that was barely visible to the naked eye!

All I heard before the door closed was a loud "urgent" from Drea.

Guess no games before dinner then!

I decided to walk around the mansion, as Drea didn't seem like she'd be finished anytime soon.

The place seemed a bit empty right now, at least on the second floor. The maids seen here and there were also quite less at this time.

As I got out onto the second floor balcony, I could see the gorgeous garden view, which was utterly mesmerizing with the orange clouds dancing in the sky. A light half moon was also visible at this time.

Nature really is wonderful.

I felt like calling my brother to ask about how he was coming along, but decided against it remembering where I was. This reminded me that Alessandro should have been injured pretty badly too right?

He seemed pretty much healed already tho, considering he was walking around as if he wasn't injured in the first place.

I suddenly heard a slight creek, leading me to turn around, only to come face to face with the Italian mafia boss.

I guess I shouldn't have been thinking so much about him, otherwise I wouldn't have felt this tiny bit of guilt right now!

I gulped a bit, which was hopefully not audible!

We stayed like that, staring at each others face for I don't know how long before I decided to break the ice.

"Um..hi? What can I do for you Mr. Alfonso?"

Seriously? Why the heck did I ask that? This is his house, what can I possibly do for him?

Was I that funny, cause I seem to have to somehow brought a smile, or a smirk maybe, on that cold face?

"Hello piccola bellezza. (little beauty)" woah, he's got a deep voice.

The smirk remained on his face as he continued. "It's Alessandro. You can just call me Zandro."

Did this supposedly bloodthirsty guy just ask me to use a nickname on him. He won't kill me after this, will he?
