The Lost Mafia Principessa

Part 67

Andrea

"Should we bring wine?" Stacey looks at me with a scrunched up face. We're already bringing two pies even though the guys told us not to bring anything.

"I don't think this store even has a nice enough bottle to go with his other wines." I say looking at the bottles.

Stacey giggles. "Ok you're right about that."

It's Thanksgiving and apparently the Romanos and the Marianos are all getting together at Raphael's. Raphael's mother is here in the Hamptons and tomorrow morning Stacey and I will be picked up and head that way too. The guys invited us once they realized we weren't going home for the holiday. We explained to them that it makes more since for us to stay here and work and then go home in December for a longer break. They offered to buy our flights but we kept explaining that it was about work not the expense.

Thursday morning we gather our bags and our pies and we make our way downstairs to the waiting car. Giovanni takes our things and loads them and we get into the car and gently place our pies next to us. On the 3 hour drive (because of the traffic leaving the city) we laugh and talk all the way with Gio.

"You two know you weren't supposed to bring stuff. It will all be there."

Stacey scoffs and waves her hand. "It's just pie. It's not like we cooked a turkey."

We pull up to the house and Raphael and Leonardo are waiting on us. They get our doors and we step out with our pies. I smile sweetly and kiss Raphael on the cheek. "Thank you."

He grumbles from next to me. "You didn't need to bring anything." His hand rests on the small of my back.

"It's just pie cariño." I smile at him and I can tell my name for him makes him happy.

We walk in and I hear people bustling around. Enzo's voice softly booms from the living area. Raphael takes me to the living area and Isabella and Enzo are in the middle of a game while a woman that has to be Raphael's mother sits in a chair watching and laughing. She catches us walk in and she walks quickly towards us. "Oh Raphael she's beautiful. Hi I'm Elena Raphael's mother. He's told me so much about you." She hugs me and I have to protect the pie by reaching around her.

"Hi I'm Andrea." I say.

"Yes yes I know he's told me. Oh darling you made a pie. You didn't have to."

Enzo's head pops up from the game. "What kind?"

I smile at him knowing he'll love it. "Chocolate meringue pie. My grandmother's recipe."

Enzo groans and walks to me longingly. You wouldn't know it from his rippling broad muscles that the man has a wicked sweet tooth. He takes the pie from me and speaks to it. "Let's take you somewhere safe." About that time Stacey and Leo walk up and Enzo spies her pies. "What kind is that?"

Stacey smiles at him. She's spent a lot of time around the Romano men and she knows Enzo's sweet tooth is deadly. "Apple." She coos softly to him.

Enzo takes it from her. "You should probably come to. I'm gonna put you somewhere you won't get dropped or squished."

Elena spies Stacey and turns to her. "Leonardo care to introduce this beauty to me."

"Right Elena this is Stacey my girlfriend and Andrea's roommate. Stacey this is Elena. Raphael's mother." Leo's hand never moves from Stacey's waist.

Elena grabs Stacey in for a hug and Stacey the hugger squeezes back. Elena holds our faces in her hands. "Boys they're beautiful you did a good job and if Enzo is any indication they must be good cooks."
