Prologue-

I was ten my long dark colored hair was past my knees and my caramel skin danced in the sun it was around harvest time in Montalcino, Italy and the grapes were ripe. My Papa would always teach me about the green, red, and purple treasures and soon he hoped I would continue our seven generation winery. I am the only child Mama passed away when I was born due to complications. Papa never seemed to have that sparkle in his eyes anymore. Things just weren't the same.

As we walked through the many endless rows of grapevines Papa would harvest a few with his hand knife with one jerk of his wrist a plump grape would fall into his large hands. I am the only thing Papa has left of Mama and he tells me that one day I will find a man who cares for me as much as he cares for Mama.

Chapter 1:

"Arabella!" My graying Papa yelled.

"Yes?" I asked in question. "Somebody is here to see you." I know who it is immediately. I know it's Carmella. She's been my best friend since we were six and that wasn't going to change. I walked down the stairs and saw Carmella struggling to take off her new boots. "You always get the weirdest shoes you know that right Mell?" I said. "Not my fault they were half off and looked so lonely." She giggled. "Only you, only you." I mumbled. She looked at me and playfully thumped my shoulder "You do realize your going on seventeen and you still single." She glanced at me. "Yeah so what?" I glared. "I want to see you happy again and I promise this will help you!" She had an idea and obviously this is not good. When Carmella has ideas they always end up going wrong. So now I'm officially scared especially because I'm a anti social person and have never even hugged a guy much less dated one.

She ended up dragging me out the door so I kissed Papa on cheek and got into Carmella's jeep wrangler. She didn't hesitate putting the key in the ignition and before I knew it we were at the mall. "What are we doing Carmella?" I asked in a hush tone. Her eyes were somewhere off in the distance so I tried to match her gaze and saw what she was looking at. It was Taylor Woods the hottest guy at our school. I am officially freaking out and having cold chills go down my back. Carmella has officially lost her mind! "Do you think he's hot?" She asked. "Umm." I looked down at my sparkly flats. "Your dating him. Ok. Girl lets go!" She looked exited...to exited. She grasped my sleeve and pushed me into the one and only Taylor. Taylor looks like one of those guys off a movie. He has deep hazel eyes, and Brown tousled beach hair. His body is incredible he has an eight pack well that's what I heard, and any girl would die to be with him.

I looked up at Taylor and mumbled the words "I'm so sorry." He just looked down at me and smiled "Its all good babe." He winked at me and gave me his number. His number! I was about to pass out until Carmella started shaking me and dragged me back to the wrangler.

"You have Taylor Woods' number!!"she said in disbelief. "I know! but I don't know about this Mell it was probably some joke..." I said with still rose like cheeks. "You should call it!!!" She exclaimed. My hand reached for my phone and I put it on the dash. Debating whether I should call or not. Finally a hand reached for my bedazzled pink phone.
