Aria's POV
When I woke up it was 5 in the morning, usually when I wake up around this time I go lay with Papi or one of my brothers.
So I just get ready instead. But I don't change my pjs yet I do that after breakfast. So for now I'm just going to brush my teeth and hair. I also make my bed nice and neat.
Marcelo said that breakfast is at 8:00 am and it's currently 6 o'clock. So while I wait I'll just watch lilo and stitch and call Luciano in an hour. Then after breakfast I'll call Papi to talk with my other brothers.
A part of my morning routine back home was to slip into Luciano's bed with him and we'd just talk about everything and anything that comes to mind.
About 45 minutes into the movie I get impatient and decide to call Luciano 15 minutes early.
He won't mind.
Luciano picks up the call in a groggy voice. I can tell he worked all night, after a 20 minute scolding of him being irresponsible for not getting a good night's rest we talked about whatever came to mind.
This is my favorite part of the morning just talking with Luciano, he really listens to me ramble about anything and everything.
"Come in." I say After I hear a knock at my door.
Nicolas comes in "breakfast is ready, come down in 5 minutes." He says then leaves after.
"I have to go Prince Luci tell papi to call me later please." I say. He says goodbye and we hang up after sending each other lots of kisses.
After I put on some white socks I headed downstairs.
When I get their 7 heads snap to me. I might've taken an extra 3 minutes to slightly piss off Gabriel.
"Why are you late Aria?" Gabriel stated as I took my seat.
"My bad, Gabriel, I was talking to my brother Luciano." I say not interested in this conversation.
"I'm your father not Gabriel, Aria." Gabriel said sternly after nodding to the maids to bring the food.
"A father would never have left his child and completely forget about her, Gabriel." Something flashed in his eyes but quickly covered it. My biological brothers looked at me wide eyed, except Massimo of course.
"Let's eat." Someone spoke during my glare off with Gabriel.
Thankfully the dinner went by smoothly, the only uncomfortable thing was Nicolas and Zander constant glare on me.
After a few minutes of me eating my phone began ringing,
Everyone turns to me ending whatever conversation they had. I look down at my phone and it's my Papi, i smile widely.
"May I be excused, I'm finished." I say to Gabriel.
"Answer your phone here please." Massimo says.
I roll my eyes at him and answer my phone.
"Hi Papi." I say happily, my mood changing instantly, excited to hear from him.
"Hi my sweet girl are you doing okay, you're eating all your food right?" Papi asks.
"Yes Papi, also your on speaker at the kitchen table, they insist on me staying here." I say in Russian after assuring him I'm eating well.
When I first came to live with Papi and my brothers, I had a very bad eating disorder, but Papi and my brothers were very patient with me and helped me through everything.
