Heal The Broken Pieces

Chapter 11: I Love You

~TIME LAPSE~ (2 years)
Aurora’s POV

What happens after two years of finding the person you like? Is there any possibility that we would last? Would we still want each other or feel the same feelings we felt two years ago?

Honestly I don’t know if he does but I do. From the night of my 18th birthday when we went clubbing he’s been holding himself back and even when I try my best to persuade him he just ignores it. Today’s my 20th birthday and we are currently in Italy as my family wanted to meet the man that I am dating so I brought him here and now he doesn’t want to leave and we have to because we both have college to go back to.

“Babe, let's go to the place with the long S name again” he whines while hugging me from behind and I giggle “it’s called Li Rioni a Santiquattro baby, you need to learn at least that restaurant’s name” I tell him and laugh shaking my head “I can’t baby, they are so weird” he says making a face and I laugh “I understand baby but that name is the easiest so just try it again but this time slower, Li Rioni a Santiquattro” he sighs “okay baby I’ll try again” he says and I giggle making him look at me “Li Rioni a Santiquattro?” he asks and I nod smiling widely at him “you did it” he blushes as I turn squishing his cheeks together before tipping to kiss him.

“Ugh, why are you so tall?” I say to him and he chuckles before lifting me, sending my heart into overdrive “you’re just short love” he says quietly and I blush “I’m not going back to that restaurant though” he groans and I kiss his nose “why not babe?” I roll my eyes “because we’ve been there for about a week straight for lunch and dinner so I am not going back there, choose some place else” he sighs before planting me on my feet “but I”ll do anything babe and this is the last time” I scoff “you think that I’m going to fall for that trick again” he grins and I flip him off before walking out of our room and down the stairs into the living room where my grandparents and parents are watching the TV. my siblings are here too but they went out with their childhood friends and will be back later as we are all going out to have dinner together.

“Hi bambina, Qual è il piano per stasera?” he asks me and I give him a stern look. (babygirl, What is the plan for tonight?)

“Papa, smetti di parlare la nostra lingua, ricorda che Archer non la parla.” I tell him and he face palms himself making me and my mom giggle. (Papa, stop speaking our language, remember that Archer doesn’t speak it.)

“I’m sorry honey, I’m so forgetful sometimes” Archer comes down and he greets everyone before leaving so I raise an eyebrow at his strange behavior but don’t comment on it “sweetheart? Aren’t you going with Archer?” I look at my mom and shrug “nope if he wanted me to come along he’d come and pick me up like he normally does” she giggles and I blush and start thinking about when his parents came home the following week after my birthday but when they came home they came with his sisters and brothers one of which was the younger and he is in college because he graduated early. His brothers were easy to talk to and they were flirty but at the same time respectful but his sisters, ugh, they hate me and I understand because I hated every female that talks to my brothers and that’s why they are currently single or at least that’s what they say. His sisters were so hateful that I didn’t leave his room until I was going home and even then I didn’t want to leave because I was so scared but I understand because he’s their younger brother and because of what that cagna Deborah did, speaking of Deborah, she was arrested and charged for assaulting me and attempted murder but I didn’t care after knowing she’d be charged but Archer went to the hearing.

“AURORA!” I jump looking at my mom with an eyebrow raised “yes momma?” she smiles as she sits beside me making me giggle as she is acting as if she wasn't just shouting my name not too long ago “you’ve grown so much and I know that James would be so proud of you prediletto” my eyes fill with tears as I hug her, I moved on but I still miss him from time to time “grazie momma” she pulls back smiling and I smile at her “he makes you stronger and the happiest that I’ve ever seen you” my cheeks heat up and I know that they’re red making her laugh at me. (prediletto ~ darling, grazie ~ thank you)
