Alessandro pov:
"Mama, do I have to go?" I say as I put on my dress shoes.
"Yes, Alessandro, you do. This is important for Uncle Danny and your Papa."
"Yes, only because he and Papa run the Mafia. I don't care."
"Alessandro Ferraro, you are going to this dinner whether you like it or not," my mama snaps.
"But Mama"
"Your Mama said you're going, Alessandro, so you're going, don't make your Mama mad," my Papa shouts from down the corridor.
"Sorry Mama."
My dad and I aren't the closest. But I get along with my mama well. My papa loves my mama and would do anything to be with her, so if I take all her attention or upset her, I am done for.
"Look on the bright side, maybe you will find a cute girl here," my younger sister Mattea tells me.
"Your sister is right," my papa says.
"When is she not?" I mutter.
My papa comes up behind me and slaps me on the back of the head.
"Shutting up," I say, getting the message.
Y/N pov:
"Y/N, take off that sad smile and be happy for once," my mother tells me.
"That's rich coming from you," I snap back.
My mum and I don't get along and we never will. If I had the choice I would run away, but I love my dad and I am his little girl, so I stay for him.
"You look beautiful, Y/N," my dad comes over and kisses me on the top of my head.
"Thank you. Are you sure my friends are going to be there?"
"Yes, sweetie. Everyone, even the Ferraros will be there," my dad says.
"Why, don't you like the Ferraros?" I joke.
"Long story."
Ring, ring, ring.
"Y/N, answer your phone before I throw it off a cliff," my mum shouts.
"Dam, calm down," I wipe my mouth before picking up the phone.
"Hey Angelina."
"Girl, there are so many hot guys here. You can definitely meet a nice guy. You need to get back on the dating horse and forget about Max."
"Ok, sure, whatever. I'll be there in about 10 minutes."
"See you, love," she hangs up.
-Time skip-
15 minutes later
I got out of the car slowly, trying to delay my arrival as long as possible, until I heard a voice running after me.
"Y/N, it took you long enough. There are some really hot guys here. Come on, a bunch of us are hanging out."
"All right, I'm coming. No need to pull my hand off," I say as she pulls me into the house.
"Hey guys, this is my friend Y/N. Y/N this Carlo, Russo, and Alessandro," Angelina tells me.
"Hi," I say shyly.
"Hello," Alessandro says. Oh my God, he is so handsome, I have no words. I am dying inside.
Alessandro pov:
"Ok, hey guys, this is my friend Y/N. Y/N this Carlo, Russo, and Alessandro," Angelina tells us.
"Hi," she says shyly.
"Hello," I say. Oh my God, this girl is stunning. Her beautiful smile immediately makes my heart beat faster.
Y/N friend Angelina keeps talking to Carlo and Russo, but I can't pay attention. All I could think about was this angel in front of me. Oh, what a dreamy girl. To have an angel like her to call my own.
The conversation somehow stops, but I need to talk to this girl, I don't know why I just do.
"Hey Y/N, do you want to have a drink with me?" I ask, praying that she says yes because this is the first time I have let my guard down.
"Um sure," she says in the most amazing voice ever. I need to hear this voice more.
As we walk away from the other, I hear Russo say, "Bet you 50 they'll have a date in three months" God I hope he's right.
As we reach the bar I break the silence.
"What do you want? My shout."
"Lemon lime bitter, thank you."
"No, alcohol," I say jokingly.
"If my father smells alcohol on my breath, I might as well die, because that would be better."
"Good to know," I order and pay, seeing that the balcony is free.
"How about we take our drinks outside?"
"I was just going to say that," she replies and we both laugh.
We walk outside and along the balcony. I find a free spot on the railing for the two of us to sit and have a drink.
"We're both thinking of that spot over there, aren't we?" she points to the spot.
"Yes, we are," we laugh and walk over.
We sit there for a while before she speaks.
"How old are you?"
"17, and you?" i ask
"16," she says shyly.
"You're really beautiful, by the way."
"Really. Thank you. You're really handsome."
"Thank you pretty little lady," I say and she just giggles.
We just start talking about everything and I have never fallen in love with someone so quickly. We both lost track of time, we were so deep in conversation when we heard a voice calling out to us.
"Hey Alessandro, uncle Danny is doing his speech now come on in".
"That was a nice chat, pretty lady."
"It sure was. Now come on," she comes down from the railing and offers me her hand.
"Thank you."
"No problem."
"Um Y/N."
"Yes."
"Can I have your number?" I ask.
"Sure."
"I don't have any paper, so this will have to do," she says, pulling out a piece of chewing gum, putting it in her mouth and writing her number down on the wrapping.
I take the wrapper from her and text her.
"Text me when you get home," I say before walking away.
Russo and Carlo come up to me.
"Oh, he's whipped," Russo says.
"100%," Carlo adds.
"Just stay away from her ok. She is mine."
"Your dating?" asks Carlo.
"Not now but we will be," I reply.
