"How old are you again?" she asked "twenty four." he answered her.
Isabella had been asking questions about Alexander and her family through out the whole car ride, Alexander answering all of them happily.
"we're here." he announced, he stopped the car in front of a white gate, that had two men on each side of it.
"come on." he waved to Isabella getting out the car, she quickly followed him out ignoring the stares that were on her.
A man got in the car that they were previously in, and drove it to a garage that looked like a house next to them.
"woah."
Alexander unconsciously found him admiring the look on Isabellas face as she looked at her new house.
As soon as they entered the mansion, Alexander caught Isabellas arm before, she could go any further.
"when we go into the living room, you're going to see fourteen new faces, ten of them are going to look at you as if you have two heads, but that's just because they haven't seen you in a while." he warned her.
"its okay." she replied to him sending him a smile.
A 'okay' echoed in house, reaching the Rossis who impatiently waited for Isabella to arrive.
All of their heads shot up to the source of the voice that came from outside the living room door, they quickly all stood in where they had planned for hours nervously.
Leonardo sighed tiredly, they had wooken him up, just so he could meet the famous Isabella, he didn't understand why he couldn't just meet her later.
"You people should loosen up a bit, shes going to run the other..." Leonardos words were slowly cut off when Isabella had entered the room.
"Wow." he muttered.
A tall women with gorgeous brown hair cascading down her back in waves, her colored eyes looked at them, the once multiple light freckles that were all over her face when she was a kid , had now turned into dark freckles that were only on her nose and cheeks, a small gentle smile plastered on her bow shaped lips, she had on loose white sweatpants that sat low on her tiny waist, accompanied with a grey sleeveless crop top.
It's a basic, modest yet, cute outfit.
Her almond shaped nails were now painted baby pink, multiple bracelets adorned her small wrists all of them matching the other, she had on one golden necklace, and her ears were decorated with multiple golden earrings.
"This place is nice, I remember it." She told Alexander but was heard by everyone.
Oh how they missed her sweet voice, "hi guys." she finally greeted them a huge grin on her face eyes sparkling.
They all had different thoughts going through their heads, they admired Isabella for how much she had grown and how she got even more gorgeous than before.
They were surprised to see their little Isabella grown, into this splendid women.
"I'm Isabella." She once again introduced herself. She looked at them, like she didn't even know them.
The once happy faces that ten people had were now replaced with confused ones all of them looking at Alexander for an explanation.
He simply mouthed a 'she doesn't remember us' to them.
While half of them were almost on the verge of tears, Leonardo ignored what they were saying and simply looked at Isabella.
He tries to calm his racing heart reminding himself that she's just a women and he'd seen plenty of women before but, never had he seen one as perfect as her.
The first one to snap out of their thoughts was laresa and she quickly introduced herself not wanting to scare the girl any more. "hello sweetie, im your grandmother, my names Laresa." She smiled gently at her to try to calm down her nerves, which had worked her tense shoulder loosened, and her nervous smile was now replaced with a genuine smile.
She discreetly hit her husbands arm trying to break the daze he's in.
He looked at his wife, pupils grown, sadness evident in his eyes, she pointed to Isabella with her eyes.
"I'm...uh your grandfather Phoenix." he pointed to himself. His authoring voice seemed to snap his son out of his thoughts, and he quickly tried to look presentable again.
Theodore cleared his throat, plastering on a smile "I'm your father, Theodore."
Alexander stepped up for his siblings noticing the distraught they were in.
He introduced them all in the order they were in.
"That's Elijah second oldest, Matteo third oldest, Aiden fourth, Asher fifth, Issac, Dylan, and Klaus." He adressed them.
After Klaus was three people who stood together far from the rest. She quickly realized that they were her step family.
One of the women groaned and took her eyes away from her hot pink nails. She's a beautiful girl thats obvious but, the amount of makeup she had on made her seem less presentable.
"step sister." she grumbled out.
Next to her was a grown man who obviously had gotten all the bad genes, he looked her up and down, lust clear in his eyes.
Isabella replicated his look, up and down though, she had a disgusted look in her eyes.
"I'm your step brother, Bailey." He said smirking.
A women stepped out from beside him, and Isabellas breath hitched.
She looked just her like mother.
"I'm your new step mom,Brittney." she said sending her a fake forced smile.
Isabellas grin fell off, and she scanned her from head to toe.
She took her eyes away from her repeating over and over in her head that it isn't her.
Her eyes landed on a man, that had been staring at her since her arrival.
She immediately recognized him, Leonardo the famous, rich, man-whore. They weren't kidding when they said he's built like a greek god.
Dark brown curls sat neatly on top of his head, full eyebrows, a light stubble growing back, full lips, and a strong sharp jawline.
One if his eyes were like the ocean, and his coffee colored eyes, are simply mesmerizing
He had grey joggers, with a tight fitted black shirt, that showed off most of his abs.
She looked up at him holding eye contact for a couple of seconds before he broke it.
She cleared her throat and averted her gaze back to her family.
"Nice to meet you guys."
