His and Her Saviour

Thirty One.

Elliana

When we got to Fernando's, I jumped out of the car and pounded on Fernando's door out of excitement. The maid opened the door and I ran into the kitchen following Fernando's voice.

"FERNANDO" I jumped on him and gave him a massive squeeze.

"Hola linda!" (Hi beautiful!)

"Oh I missed annoying the shit out of you Nandi" I released from the hug and ruffled his hair. Fernando had a navy suit on that showed his arm muscles and he had a chain around his neck. He honestly does not look any different from when I saw him last even though it's been about 5 months now.

 Him and I laughed for a bit until I heard Stefano clear his throat from behind me.

"Stef!" I gave him a big hug as well and he chuckled. Stef was in a plain black suit and he had a little bit of stubble on his jawline now.

"Hi Ell. Did you all make it safe?" I nodded and smiled at both of them.

"Your rooms are upstairs and the maids will have your bags in your rooms in a few minutes. The ball isn't until tonight which gives you about four hours to get ready so I'll see you tonight"

 Fernando ruffled my messy bun and now it was all floppy.

"Oh you puta!!" I flipped him off and he chuckled as he walked out of the kitchen. 

"So how's the Italian mafia going?" I asked while eating an apple slice from the table.

"It's going pretty smooth but I've got more guards keeping an eye on you for tonight."

I tilted my head in confusion.

"Oh Enzo didn't tell you..." I shook my head and nudged him to tell me.

"The Russians... They have a pretty strong alliance with the Spanish mafia and they will be attending tonight. I know you'll stick with Tarra and Enzo and I know your training has gotten a lot better, but we still can't risk you being taken away so I have guards lined up every corner of the ballroom." 

"So... I'm still being hunted by them..." I muttered. 

Before Stefano could talk, Tarra came into the room and wrapped her arms around Stef's neck giving him a passionate kiss. I let out a laugh and left the room and went upstairs to look for my room.

I got to the left corner and saw Enzo's bags next to mine. 

"Enzo?" I called out.

"In here" I heard Enzo in the bathroom.

"Hey you busy?"

"No I just checked out the bathroom, why what is it?"

"Were you.. Ever going to tell me about them coming to the ball tonight?" 

Enzo looked at me confused but then realized what I meant.

"Yes I was. But to be honest I was going to try and talk you into not going at all."

"Enzo. I want to go and if anything happens, I'm not the weak Ellie that used to know nothing about self defense anymore." I argued.

"I know I know. Which is why you are going but you will stay with me or Tarra at all times. Done deal?"

I nodded and wrapped my arms around Enzo's neck. He hugged my waist and I ran my fingers through his hair.

"Now, I need you to get ready in Tarra's room because she will be getting ready with me tonight and there is a one hundred percent chance that our bathroom will look like one hot mess once we are done." I grinned at Enzo and he rolled his eyes.

"Fine." He got his bags and switched rooms with Tarra.

"Are you ready?!" Tarra squealed as she walked into my room. I nodded and we started unpacking.

"Do you know what you're wearing?" Tarra asked.

I nodded and grabbed my dress out of the closet.

"ELLIE IT'S BEAUTIFUL" Tarra yelped. "It suits you!!"

I laughed and thanked her.

"What about yours?!" I clapped my hands as she pulled hers out of her suitcase.

"Oh. My. God." My eyes widened and I was at a loss of words.

"I KNOW RIGHT?" 

We both placed out dresses on the bed and put our shoes right below. 

"Alright time to burn our hairs with heat and spend an three hours trying to make both eyeliner wings even!" Tarra took out all of her makeup and hair products and I just laughed.

Here we go!
