The next day, Sabrina asks Gianna if she would like to come back to the Estate for a pool party. Gianna accepts obviously and walks to a park on the outskirts of Sicily. A black SUV rolls up and a window rolls down.

"Color of the day?" Trent asks from inside.

"Yellow," Gianna replies. Sabrina instructed her to answer in that manner and not answer anyone who asked a different question. Trent nods and gets out of the passenger seat. He opens the back door for her.

Then Sadie's driver begins to drive back to the Estate. Sabrina's been cleared to travel again, as well as swim. As long as she isn't too physical, the wound will stay closed and she just needs to clean it properly after they are done swimming.

The other gang leaders will be in attendance as well, not wanting to miss out on seeing Sabrina's potential suitor. Sabrina, however, is extremely anxious to have Gianna over. Now that she knows about the crush, she wants this party to go over well so she can stay friends with her. Eventually, she would like to ask her out on a date, but she doesn't want to rush in.

She paced around the living room and the puppies follow her back and forth.

"Brina, you need to chill," Sadie says, coming out from her room.

"I'm nervous, Sadie!" she exclaims, "What if I do something stupid and mess up this friendship?"

The redhead walks over to the patio, "Outside!"

The six pups run out into the yard. The Estate is huge and the puppies have acres of land to explore. Of course, there is a fence to keep them on the property itself, but they can run around outside all they want.

"You're overthinking this, Brina. Just be yourself, if she didn't like your flirty behavior before she wouldn't be friends with you," the redhead points out. Bella comes out of their room.

"Hey," she greets.

"Bella, cara mia, help me out here," Sadie turns to her, "Sabrina's freaking out."

"You're gonna be just fine, Sabrina," Bella tells her.

"I'm gonna do something stupid and mess up," Sabrina exclaims.

"You already do stupid things and we're still friends with you," the brunette points out. Sadie turns away and laughs.

"That does not make me feel better," Sabrina sighs. Jenna and Emma come out of the elevator from the second level.

"Party time!" Jenna cheers. She walks hand in hand with Emma. Sabrina sighs and walks away, "Who shit in her cereal?"

"Bella," Sadie laughs. Bella playfully smacks her arm, "What?"

"What did you do?" Jenna asks.

"I didn't do anything, she's freaking out about Gianna," Bella explains.

"Sounds like someone I know," the former gang leader eyes Sadie. Her laughter stops and she glares at Jenna. Bella turns with a smirk on her face.

"Oh, really?" Bella asks.

"Jenna, stop while you're ahead," Sadie playfully threatens.

"What, you don't want Bella to hear about how you wanted her so bad you ———"

"Emma, Jenna would literally fall over when you texted her!" Sadie interrupts. Jenna's smile drops. Emma turns to her with the same smirk Bella has.

"You're so cute," she smiles. Jenna looks down. Emma lifts her chin so she looks into her eyes, "So shy now?"

Sadie turns to Bella. Both of them know that Jenna was the dominant one when she would hook up with Sabrina, but it seems as though now she's submitting to Emma.
