Collision With The Mafia King

Chapter 15

*Recap*
"So what's important about a 22
that you fools had to disrupt my pity party?" I said as I walked up to them.

Jennaia's pov

"Ok, everyone gather around. It's time for the general reveal." Mrs. Joyce says.

We were at the main house for
Pipoca's (Sharona and Tony's Baby)  baby shower.

The place was decorated in white, pink and blue.

Thankfully, Dimitri let me go like a free bird without any forceful actions or rule.

Although, I think Shar had something to do with it in a way but I'm glad he let me, it makes me feel a little more comfortable and liberal but I'm on alert.

People here whom I've met are very nice and welcoming which I appreciate so much.a

"Come on Clo let's go." I said to Clover who was holding my hand tightly.
She was sitting beside me since she was shy to go talk to the other kids.
She used to get horribly bullied when we used to stay at the 'house'.

She held my hand tightly as she hid her face slightly in the side of my dress.

"Okay so we're all going to count to three. Ready?" Vivian said.

"Cover your ears, Clo." I tell her.
She doesn't like loud noises.

*Countdown*

Vivian, Lydia (one of Sharona's cousins) and another girl pulled the confetti can at the end of the countdown.

Blue confetti.

"It's a boy." Someone shouted.

There were cheers and claps.

Antonio gave Shar a kiss on the forehead and the expecting couple gave a small kiss. Very family friendly.

Then the festivities continued.

It's been almost 2 hours later and I'm still where I was. I look around to see everyone was having fun with only me in the corner, by myself.

I sigh and walk to the food stand and grabbed a cupcake.

Clo had gotten friends now.

A while ago, two kids, Rebecca and Austin walked up to Clo and I and asked whether she wanted to join them to play.

She looked at me for confirmation and I nodded.

She seemed hesitant to go but I told her if she does not feel comfortable she should come back or give me a sign.

She nodded and followed the kids and it has been 15 minutes and she hasn't come back. She's been running around with them and giggling, with me occasionally calling out for her to be careful.

Cal, on the other hand, has been doing good with the other boys and girls his age. I haven't seen much of him but he I'm sure he's fine.

I look at my half eaten cupcake and decide I need fresh air. I sit on one of the outdoor chairs.

The backyard of the Vannini Mafia household was decorated beautifully, and looked more beautiful in the moonlight, although, it was a little chilly but just okay.

I look up, to see stars in the beautiful New York City sky.

I continue to eat the cupcake taking small bites now since I'm not that hungry.

The glass door opens and I turn to see none other than Dimitri.

"Hi" He says.

"Hi." I squeak out.
