Philophobia

chapter 6

Eliana's POV:

I start making my way to the door just when Sofia come up to me and hold my arm to stop me from leaving.

"Sof , I need to go. See you at ho-" Just as i was speaking she cut me off.

"No Eliana, father will be pissed and you know that."

"It's better for him to be angry at me then taking my last breath in the dungeon of Italian Mafia I guess." i said knowingly.

"The thing is that Ginevra and Beatrice just planned a catch-up dinner at our house." she said earning a glare from me. " Tomorrow." she added smiling viciously.

"Fuck me." I sighed.

"Okay , I got this just let them know that you are going and I'm gonna come up with an excuse."

I nod and we made our way to the crowd.

After saying a few 'hello's' we joined the Russo's with the rest of my family. Alessandro didn't even bother to look at me and Sofia when we joined them at the table.

"Father, I need to leave. Ginevra see you at home. Be careful guys." I said , hug them and kissed them in the cheek.

I turned to the Russo's and see Beatrice smiling at me warmly.

"Beatrice it was a pleasure to meet you and you Mr.Russo. I'll be looking forward for tomorrow." I said and earned a few lovely words from Beatrice and a smile from Alvaro.

But Alessandro just stared at me without any emotion visible.

"I'm gonna leave." Alessandro said and get up from his chair making a loud noise which gather some stares.

"Oh honey , why don't you drop Antonella to her house." Beatrice said smiling at him.

He lift his head up and looked at me like he was waiting a response from me.

"Thank you but I came here with my car, I can't just leave it here." I said and earned an elbowing from Sofia.

"Actually I was just about to tell you that I am going to need the car after the ball. I need to go somewhere." Sofia said and smirk at me.

"Then it's final. Antonella you are going with my lovely niece." Alvaro said and pat Alessandro's back.

"So lovely." i murmured making Sofia giggle.

Alessandro start making his way to the main door which i followed him like a lost puppy.

We came to his car and he didn't even bother to open the door for me which is like totally fine and i'm fully able to open a door for myself but manners?

We both get in the car and I sighed when he step on the gas aggressively.

After a few painfully quiet minutes I decided to fulfill the mood.

"How was the chocolate?" I asked remembering that he got a chocolate and a beer from SevenEleven. " The one you bought from SevenEleven." I added but in this moment i wasn't sure that he knew that i was the girl from there.

"Normal." he said.

I'm sitting here trying to make up a conversation which feels like he is trying the opposite.

"Do you like noodle?" I asked him which he turned to look at me weirdly.

"I don't eat noodles." he stated.

I gasp and lift my hands to my cheeks. " Have you ever tried one ?" I asked.

"No."

"I can make you one." I said and mentally kicked myself. Why would i make him noodles? To a man that i don't even know.
