"Slag"
I thought the journey would have been awkward due to me never having a conversion with ash but it was alright. Both him and Caleb were in-front talking to one another as me and Lexi talked in the back.
It was decided that 1 of them would go in store with me and Lexi and one would stay behind in the car and since Enzo wanted Caleb to be with me ash had to stay behind but he didn't mind.
The store me and Lexi went to was on a high street Caleb waited outside with a quick glance here and there to keep us in his sight before lighting a cigarette to keep him busy.
"So do you know where he's taking you"? Lexi asks as I shrug. "Not a clue I'm guessing a restaurant", i say. "Well would you like to wear a dress and go full out or just something casual?" She asks. "Well I don't want to look odd everywhere I've been with him so far is fancy so I'd hate to be the odd one out", I say. "Dress it is over here", she says pointing towards a rack.

Caleb had came inside by the time we had chose a few dresses to try so he'd be out of the cold whilst ash kept eyes on the road. The 3 dresses picked out were a plain black body-con off the shoulder dress with a leg slit and low v line, a creamy white silk dress with velvety sleeves, and a dark blue lace dress with matching sleeves.
Walking out in each dress one by one to see myself in the mirror. "Now that's the best one yet", Lexi says as I walk out in the white silk dress. "What do you think"? She asks to Caleb who's not even paying attention. "What"? He says looking up at me. "Oh right yeah that's nice", he says as both me and Lexi roll our eyes. "Boys", she says standing up. "That's the one aria, let me go and find you some matching shoes", she says walking over to where the heels were.
"I didn't really get to thank you", i say walking over sitting next to Caleb. "There's nothing to thank me for", he says. "For last night", i say. "It's nothing", he replies. "Enzo probably would've killed me if I had known and left you", he says as I smile.
"The dress is definitely a winner", he says as Lexi comes walking over with some heels. "Perfect", she says holding them up to the dress.
- fast forward to dinner
"Are you nearly ready"? Lexi asks walking into the room as I stand there changing my earrings. "Yeah nearly is Enzo waiting"? I ask. "Yeah and what feels like forever he's so inpatient", she says as a laugh. "Have the best night", she says kissing me on the cheek as we start to walk out to head downstairs.
Enzo:
I know I've hurt her deeply. I regret everything I said last night if I could I'd rewind no matter the price. I hurt her, I made her cry. I'm so fucking sorry.
Watching as she walks down the stairs as our eyes make contact I know I've found the one. She's never scared to disagree with me. Strong enough to boss my men around. She's so fucking beautiful.
So fucking perfect.
"Enzo"? She asks smiling as I stop daydreaming. "Sorry, are you ready to go"? I ask she as nods.
Aria:
"Your so beautiful amore", he says on our way to the restaurant. "You don't look half bad yourself", i say back as he smirks. "So where are we going"? I ask. "It's a surprise just wait and see", he replies.
"It's not far so we'll be there soon", he says as I smile. "Any clues"? I ask as he shakes his head. "No".
He was wearing a dark grey and black suit one of my favourite with matching black shoes and a sterling silver watch.
His jacket pressed away from the belt he was wearing so I could tell he had his gun beside him. He's started to become really cautious when leaving the house due to gio finally knowing who I was.
"How does he know who I am", I ask as he looks over at me. "I don't know", he replies. "We don't have to think about that right now we'll save that for another time let's have a night without any problems", he says.

We arrived shortly after at a small restaurant on the outskirts next to a beach. "Enzo there's no one here are you sure this is the right one"? I ask as we step out the car. "I booked all the tables so no one would ruin our night", he says as we are greeted by a waiter standing at the doors.
"Mr Marchetti lovely to see you again", the girl says looking him up and down with a smile before noticing me.
Slag.
"Nice to see you too now are you going to show me to my table or stand there looking down on my partner", he says as she looks back over to him. "Sorry yes of course right this way", she says leading us to a table on in the centre of the room.
"This place is really fancy", i say looking at all the cutlery and glasses on each table. "Of course it is I own it", he says as I looking back at him. "You never fail to amaze me", i say as he smirks.
"What can I get you guys to drink"? She says as we both look at one another. "A bottle of red wine and make it quick", he says as she rushes to the back before bringing out a bottle.
Standing there she opens the bottle gently pouring the red liquid into enzos glass before turning to pour it into mine. "So what did you want to talk to me about"? I ask as the waiter walks away. "There's a couple of things we have to discuss", he says. "But it can wait under we have our food", he adds as we choose what we want to eat.

By the time we had both chosen and eating the food we ordered enzo was already talking about the move to the new house. "So it is slightly bigger then the one we have now, everyone will still be staying there but I was thinking", he says as I look up. "I might ask my father for a few new men just for extra security now that gios back out of hiding", he says.
"We will be moving in a couple days", he adds. "So soon"? I ask as he nods. "We can't come up with how he knows who you are the only possible way is either he's seen us in public or he's got eyes on the house", he says.
"Gio is very secretive and sneaky", he says. "He likes to plan things out fully before go ahead with them". "He could have been spying on the house for years now waiting for the perfect moment that's what he's like", he says. "Do you think he's going to attack soon now knowing somethings going on between us"? I ask as he goes silent.
