Missing Mafia Princess

(5) Movies?

*Luca's P.O.V*

I walk from her room to my room with a genuine smile on my face.

I only met her today and I already love her more than I did 12 years ago. I am worried for her though, she's incredibly quiet and she walks in an odd way as if she is putting all her weight on one side. I would ask her about it but I've come to notice she's easily embarrassed and frightened. She was dead asleep on the plain and Vin hardly touched her and she freaked out.

I'm in the kitchen eating when I get a text on the family group chat.

The gene pool:

*Gianni changed group name*

Matteo - Why'd you change the name?

Gianni - Because I can.

Vincenzo - Where is Alessia?

Frederico - What do you mean?!

Dante - Who cares?

Everyone - Me

Dante - 🙄

Me - I took her to her room. She's probably unpacking

Matteo - Did anyone else notice her walking weirdly

Everyone agreed

Me - I didn't say anything because I don't know if that's just how she walks

Matteo - Same

Frederico - If it's a problem she can let us know

We all take our seats at the dinner table and Alessia looks unsure what to do so I get her to sit between me and Matteo. The furthest seat from Dante who is prowling at the table per usual. I notice that she look's really nervous.

'Are you hungry?' Gianni asks her.

'I don't have a big appetite. Never really have' she replies politely.

'As if' Dante growls.

She looks over at him evidently confused. Dante is such a pest sometimes.

'Try have a bit' I encourage her to which she reluctant nods. She puts some of the pasta in her mouth but it looks like she's struggling to swallow it. Not choking but needing to focus to force it down.

'Do you like your room?' Frederico questions

'Yeah. It's lovely' she replies a small smile on her face. She is such a sweet soul I don't think I have ever met someone quite like it. 

We finish eating in silence Alessia barely eats a quarter but I'm glad she ate something. 

Dante stands up and smashes his plates in the sink which makes Alessia flinch. We all share a concerned glance. 

'Alessia, Could you please come to my office' Frederico asks. She visibly stiffens and I assure her it's just for rules.

*Alessia's P.O.V* 

Frederico just asked me to come to his office. What did I do wrong? I'm thinking through every thing I had done today. 

'It's just to go over rules and to let you know a few things. Nothing to worry about' Luca whispers in my ear. I nod and follow Frederico out of the dining room. We make our way to his office and he tells me to sit so I do. 

'So, I have called you in here just to go over a few things, but your not in any trouble' He said explicitly outlining the fact I wasn't in trouble and my shoulders immediately sagged. Thank god.

' You will be starting school in a few days time with Luca and Dante. Which I assume is fine with you?' He asks. I nod, I'm looking forward to going to school with Luca and Dante is in the year above us so I hopefully won't be in his way. 

'We also have a few rules but they are very basic. 

1. You are free to go out just let someone know

2. Try and Keep up good grades

3. Respect all your brothers

4. No boyfriends

5. Don't go down to the basement' He says

'Ok' I reply

'Now I didn't have answer verbally as a rule because I know your shy but if you could try to answer verbally when you can.' He reminds me kindly.

I am so grateful that wasn't an official rule.

'Do you have any questions?' 

'No. Thankyou' I say keeping the verbal suggestion in mind. 

I'm excused from his office and leave to head to my room but am stopped along the way by my twin.

'Wanna watch a movie?' He asks

'Sure' A smile makes it's way on my face. I haven't watched a movie in years! We sit down on the couch in the lounge room which is absolutely massive. 

'What do you want to watch?' 

'I don't know. I haven't watched a movie in years' I confessed. He turns to me wide eyed and yells, 'You haven't watched a movie in 12 years?!'. His yell is enough to have the entire house in shambles all my brothers come sprinting. Even Dante.  

'What! What?' They all yell. Luca is completely unfazed by the havoc he's caused.          

'SHE HASN'T SEEN A MOVIE IN 12 YEARS?!' He gawked. Everyone's shoulders visibly sagged but mine tensed. The yelling reminding me of Daniel. 

'You idiota, I thought someone died' Vincenzo said sternly but quieter probably noticing my discomfort. 

'Sorry . . . but did you get the part that she hasn't watched a movie!' Luca explained completely beyond himself. I have no idea why he was so shaken by the fact I hadn't watched a movie in ages. Dante is staring at me like he wants to strangle me.

'I am sorry for bothering you' I say figuring it was the safest response. Everyone agreed it was fine and Dante just left. Eventually, everyone decided they wanted to watch the movie as well. Frederico and Vincenzo werrking but they we're still in the same room.

We decided on Rapunzel because according to Luca it was the only movie I ever watched as a little baby. I love the movie and it's only halfway through. 

'I told you you would like it' Luca chuckles as we continue watching.

*Luca's P.O.V*

The movie is almost over and Alessia is getting super tired. Her eyes droop then shoot up every few minutes. I shuffle downwards a little so her head is on my upper arm and when her eyes droop again they don't shoot open. I put my arm over her shoulder and smile, I am so glad she's home after all these years I thought I was happy but I don't think I knew what happiness felt like until she came home.

Dante is standing in the doorway looking at her, his face slightly softer than usual. She begins to shiver a little and Gianni passes me a blanket which I tuck around us but she continues to shiver. She turns a bit and I realize she's sweaty . . . nightmare. 

Ahh! I have done SO many updates these past few days!

Thoughts on characters so far?

Question: Frozen yoghurt or ice-cream?

See you in the next update! 💖
