34| My dream.

Lissy Romano

Next morning.

"Baby..." a soft voice whispered.

"Baby... wake up..." someone whispered again.

I muttered something under my breath.

"Baby... I didn't understand a single word you just said... wake up..." the voice quietly whispered in my ear.

"Five more minutes... please..." I murmured, burying my face into my pillow.

"Lissy, I wanted to take you somewhere..." he said with a soothing voice.

"Where..?" I asked, still half asleep.

"You'll see... wake up now," Santino said, planting a kiss on my head.

I knew it was Santino because he kissed my head so casually... he is my person.

I sat up and blinked at Santino. He was dressed up in chic pants, a shirt, and a jacket, looking like he was ready for something important.

"What about school?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.

"I've already figured that out... you'll be back for math, and then volleyball and tennis tryouts," Santino replied.

"Okay. Do I need to dress up as well as you did?" I asked, furrowing my brows.

"You already look pretty. Just wear whatever you want. I'll wait for you downstairs," Santino said, kissing my forehead before leaving.

I went through my morning routine, slipped on black pants and a white shirt... I looked good—maybe not as good as Santino, but pretty decent.

I grabbed my backpack, packed Viola's sportswear and my new gear, a math book, and a notebook. I grabbed my phone and headed out of my room. As I was about to go downstairs, the twins walked out of their rooms in perfect sync. They were always cool that way.

"Where are you headed?" Matteo asked, taking off his shirt. Boy, please, put it back on.

"Santino and I... he wanted to show me something," I said, excitement bubbling in my voice.

"Call us when you're at school, okay?" Enzo asked, concern in his eyes.

"I will... okay, bye," I said, flashing them both a big smile before rushing downstairs. I spotted Santino, absorbed in his phone.

"I hope you didn't get bored while waiting for me," I said, walking up to him.

"No, Lissy, I didn't. You look so pretty," Santino said with a smile.

"Thanks..." I said, beaming.

We walked to his car and drove out of the property. The guards at the gates already knew me. They smiled and even called me Lissy. It was sweet.

"Where are we driving?" I asked, smiling as I looked at him.

"We'll spend the morning together. Just you and me. I want to show you something," Santino said, flashing that little smile I couldn't quite decode, but it was still cute.
