Torta Piccante !

Chapter 14: 'Sunflower' and 'Instagram'!

(Mature Language 18 +)

"Woah! What's wrong with fra?" Ricardo asked looking at his elder brother who practically stormed off the room while Cici glared at her husband's retreating back and crossed her arms across her chest muttering, "Nothing new! Your damn a** brother is just being a super dramatic and idiotic grumpy a**! And I am going to cut his clothes now."

To say Hazel felt at home would be just nothing!

Someone who also had a colourful mouth and sassiness similar to her brought a huge wide grin on her sweet face. With her insane choice of words, she was worried if she might get carried away and blast a few set of 'colourful' words at Ricardo. But seeing the scene in front of her and how his parents didn't even stop Cici about it, gave her a little hope of silly sip of tongue in the future.

Being new here and not wanting to give the image of a rude girl, she just chose to keep quiet and stand there while Cici shook her head in disbelief and turned around in absolute frustration.

As far as Cici was concerned, one look at the couple in front of her and all her anger took a back seat. A wide happy smile took room on her pretty face the instant her gaze landed on the couple who were busy looking and smiling at each other holding their hands.

Passing a toothy grin at the couple she declared like a princess of a kingdom, "Ma, I want to wear yellow dress for Ricardo's wedding."

"Of course my darling!" Katherine replied eyeing the couple with a wide smile playing on her lips while Alessandro wrapped his arm around Cici's shoulder saying, "Anything for you my princess!"

To say Hazel felt like she was under spot light was such a small thing!

With the three inquisitive and naughty eyes fixed on her, it almost gave her a heart attack. She was thankful that the fourth person, Erasto, was missing. One more pair of excited eyes looking back at her and she might actually dig the ground and hide there forever.

Plus, the way these people guessed about the upcoming topic of their wedding turned her a zillion shades of red from head to toe.

What were they? Fortune tellers?

And lover boy Ricardo was not really helping the situation too. Instead of leaving her hand and make it easy for her, he held her hand even tighter when she tried to release it. To top it up he even dared to wink at her right in front of everyone giving her a major heart stroke.

Shameless Ricardo!

"No matter how romantic your eye lock is, come on guys... we are standing right here!" Cici teased clapping her hands in the air and wiggling her eyebrows while Alessandro let out a huge laugh saying, "Oh finally! My second useless son is getting married. I can't control my happiness. Now I will have two sweet, smart and beautiful daughters instead of two idiotic, useless, 'good for nothing' sons!"

As Ricardo's jaw clenched hearing the unnecessary adjective used in his and his brother's context, Hazel and Cici giggled like little girls. Being the funky one, Cici raised her hand for a high-five and Hazel simply obliged with a wide grin playing on her face.

"Oh! I can't believe this is actually happening. My son is getting married finally. Oh my god, I have so much to take care of. Wedding venue, reception, dress, rings and what not! Oh my god!" Katherine said dramatically cupping her cheeks in her palms and nearly jumping out of excitement while Alessandro held her arm muttering, "Ferma quella gemma. Spaventerai quella povera ragazza." (Stop that gemma. You are going to scare that poor girl.)
