Mi Amore

Chapter 7 -Anastasia

Today's the day.Its finally the day we get to see Mama's grave.I woke and wore a dress
to go to the beach.one last time. I sigh going downstairs.

"Morning Papa"I greet Papa.He nods and continues working.I take his car keys and drive to the beach.I get there and smile hearing the waves crashing,birds chirping.Mama was right the beach is peaceful.I sit in the sand one last time."Hey pixie"I hear him say as he sits next to me."Hey Gray"I say back to him.Grayson pulls my chin for me to look at him."Gray,I have to tell you something"I tell him."Yes?"
He answers.I press a soft kiss on his cheek."Thank you for last night Gray"I say getting up.He smiles and says"Anytime my love"."You know what Grayson,I think I'm in love."I say to him.He laughs and asks "With who my love?"."You'll see one day Grayson.Im going home now.Bye Grayson."."Okay,bye my love " he says.

I as I'm driving back home to Papa I feel something I've never felt before love,but Papa can never know. Especially if I'm going to be Donna of the Italian Mafia next month at our yearly ball.I sigh as I remember Mama.She never wanted me to do this but here I am.I know she's happy though knowing she isn't in pain anymore from cancer. I get home and see Papa waiting for me"Im b-Where were you?"Papa cut me off."I was at the beach Papa"."Anastasia we need to talk." Papa says."Okay Papa" I answer."Mia figlia,You're growing so fast but now it's time for my Mafia to become yours at the ball we are going to host just for you"Papa said to me."Papa I want you to know that you can trust me with your Mafia ."I reply."Go get ready to leave now"Papa says."Yes Papa."

Me and Papa are now in an SUV going to the airport.I know I'll be back in Italy next month when I become Donna.Im so excited to become Donna,to be feared,to be powerful,to be proud.I text my bestie,Allie that we should go to the club tomorrow and of course she said yes. One last time.
