Chapter Four- Kitchen

I take a deep breath and close my eyes once I reach the relative safety of the kitchen. "Hello, principessa (princess)" The man with the deep voice chuckles directly behind me and I spun hitting my wrist against the nearby counter.

"Ow!" I quietly squeak and hold it close to my chest squeezing my eyes closed taking breaths. It was the same wrist the my father had hit with a baseball bat three days ago, still hurts like a bitch.

"Lilli stai bene? (Lilli are you alright?" The man asks and I scowl and look up at him. My eye widen and my jaw drops. He is the handsomest man alive that I have seen with my own eyes. Oh Mio Dio! So Sexy! I mentally swoon.

He has short cropped black hair and a strong jaw line. Eyes the color of pond water, green but dark and murky. Totally alluring.

"Well? Oh, and take a picture it lasts longer." I jerk from my gazing and my cheeks heat with blush. I was caught staring. I watch as he raises an eyebrow and his lips quirk into a smirk.

He had asked if I was okay. As my mind becomes unmuddled the pain comes back ten fold.

"No I'm not fucking okay! Why the fuck would an extremely handsome male sneak up on me anyways?!" I grumble and throw my good hand in the air.

"I'm sorry bello (beautiful) I thought you knew that I was there, I did make my presence known. My name is Lucivano. Lucivano Sempre Amici, I am Flavio Costantemente Amici's brother, the other male that's in with your father."

A smile makes its way onto my face in realization. "Lucivano Always Friends and Flavio Constantly Friends. That's original."

He laughs and runs a hand through his hair. "Yes Mon e papà (mom and dad) definitely had a sence of humor."

I nodd and turn my back to him as I cut the cake.
