The lost mafia princess

Ch43

NADIA:
Matteo texted me last night saying that he could go to my house tomorrow, my brothers have been bugging me about Matteo coming around and I'm not going to lie, I am very nervous about him coming over. I don't want my family to hate him, but so far, the twins like him. I think

I am panicking a little bit because I am worried about Matteo either hating my family or my family hating Matteo. I was getting ready in my room when I got a text from Matteo.

M🥰: should I bring chocolates or no?

I laughed at his text, and quickly texted him back saying 'Yes, you should' after I got ready downstairs to help my mom with the food, we were having traditional Italian food, so we would have spaghetti carbonara, pasta with meatballs in tomato sauce, garlic, bread, gnocchi, and pesto pasta.

My mom wanted to have enough food to have for leftovers, which she obviously will because of the amount of food that is going to be on the table, alongside the pasta, we have salad, Parmesan mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, rides, mushrooms, and garlic sauce.

Again, my mum goes over the top with food mostly, and doesn't like it going to waste, so when we have leftovers, we put them in containers and either freeze them or put them into the fridge for lunch or dinner throughout the week.

Once we were all sorted for food, I went to the twins and hung out with them until Matteo knocked on the door and texted me, he was here, I smiled at the text and quickly ran downstairs to open the door, luckily, I got to the door first and when I opened, the door is a very smiley Matteo, looking at me.

"I uh hope these are okay. They didn't really have much of a choice at the store" he pointed down to the box of chocolates he had in his hand. I smiled at him and hugged him.

"They're perfect you don't have to worry about anything" I said releasing from the hug. I invited him in and closed the door, only to see my entire family at the door, staring Matteo out of it.

I looked over at Matteo, and he had a small smile on his face, but I could tell he was nervous, I gently grabbed his hand and brought him closer to my family, while bringing him closer to me as well.

"Mom, Dad, this is Matteo, Matteo, these are my parents, Dominic and Noelle Romano, and my siblings, Antonio, Alexei Noah, and you met the twins before it's difficult at the beginning to tell the difference, but how I figured out when I first met them, Nico has a freckle under his left eye and Eli has a freckle beside his lips" I explained to my boyfriend, hoping he understood what I meant.

Matteo smiles, and put his hands out to shake my parent's hands, my mom looks at him, confused before ringing him into a hug, I released a sigh of relief under my breath and looked over to my dad, hoping he would approve.

"It's very nice to meet you, Mr Romano" Matteo greeted him once my mom released him from her hug, my dad smiles, and shook Matteo's hand, it was a firm shake, and I know from my dad's shakes. He does have respect, but he needs to know more about Matteo.

The thing that worried me the most was my brothers didn't say anything, they just kept quiet and looked at him introducing himself to our parents, probably trying to find something wrong with him. I was hoping they couldn't find anything wrong with him.

We all walked into the dining room and sat down at the table, our parents are at the top of the table, then Antonio on the other side of the head table, Alexei beside him, Noah beside Alexei, Nico sat beside Noah and Eli across from him, I sat beside Eli and Matteo sat across from me.

"So Matteo, what do you want to be when you finish school?" Dad asked when we all piled our plates with food. "I want to become a psychologist, I always loved helping people so I thought becoming a psychologist would benefit me" Matteo explained.

Mom and Dad looked at each other and then back to us. "So you know about Nadia's past?" Noah blurted out, making all of us freeze, Matteo knew about my past, but did my parents want him to know? "Uh yeah, when we went on our date, she told me about her past and I didn't judge her whatsoever" he explained.

I looked down at my hands, not knowing if my family was mad at me, I didn't look up until I felt Eli hold my hand. I looked up from my hands and saw all my family members smiling at me. "We're not mad honey, honestly I'm glad that you could trust someone to tell them about your past" my mom smiled.

I smiled at my family and we kept talking until Matteo had to leave. I walked him to the door and said goodbye to him. "Do you wang to FaceTime later?" Matteo asked with a small smile.

I nodded and placed a kiss on his cheek. "Of course" he smiled before he wind to his jeep and heading home.

"We all like him" I slowly turned my head to see all my family standing in the hall. "I'm glad because I really like him" my dad walked over to me and gave me a big hug.

I'm glad I have my family's side.
