ALIYNA
This might sound gullible but I couldn't believe that, that guy was the Morettis eldest child. He certainly didn't act like the eldest; he was rude and an egomaniac. Which is a lot to say about someone after only meeting them for a brief 5 minutes.When he took my hand, the bile in my throat rose and I could feel myself naturally wanting to inch away from him but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.
He thought he could intimidate me by gripping my hand tightly, he was mistaken. I too returned his strong grip, making sure he could see in my eyes I was never going to back down when it came to him.
From young I've decided that guys like him needed to be taken down a peg. I know I said I hated awkward situations but when it came to arrogant men I couldn't help myself but get involved, even when it doesn't necessarily concern me.
I will always be there standing up for people who genuinely need my help. Because that's just the kind of person I am, I hate injustice.
Leo had now casually exited the room, after ruffling Gianna's hair and kissing his mum on the cheek; he looked at me and gave me an emotionless, fake smile; I returned it obviously.But once he'd left, I have to say it felt as though a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I did a long sigh before Gianna grabbed my hands dragging me out of the kitchen.
I waved at Angelica before I was dragged from the room. Whilst Gianna shouted before the door shut, "porterò Aliyna in tournée, mamma, ma non preoccuparti, torneremo prima di cena". Angelica politely shouted back, "ok ma stai attento, per favore".
translations:
Gia- I'm going to take Aliyna on a tour mamma but don't worry we will be back before dinner.
Angelica- okay but be safe please.5 minutes later
Gianna had led me up the stairs and into her bedroom. Upon first entering, im not exaggerating when I say, my jaw, dropped to the floor. Gianna's room was something I imagined fit for royalty; not only was it massive but she had everything a girl her age could want in it. She looked at me shyly and said, "do you like it", "like it...Gianna, I love it, it's amazing", I was stuttering slightly because words couldn't comprehend what was in front of me.
I wandered over to a glass cabinet on one of her walls. When I saw what was in it I actually squealed. "No. There's no way. You have almost every limited edition record from all of my favourite artists". Gianna wandered over to where I stood, she opened the cabinet then looked up at me. "Choose", she muttered casually. I looked at the cabinet with goosebumps on my arms. I loved music- even though, I couldn't sing to save my life.
I pointed at the Lana Del Rey record and Gianna slid it from out of its case and that's when I saw it; it had never been open. I grabbed her hand before she slid it out fully. "You've never listened to it, why, is it like a collectible to you. Honestly Gia, you don't have to open it for me". I was genuinely concerned that I was forcing her into opening something special to her.
She started hysterically laughing and said, "no it's nothing like that, I've just never had someone to listen to it with and share my same excitement, until you, so now I'm glad I waited". She smiled at me before placing the record into the record player and the first song which played was magical. It was, 'this is what makes us girls' and listening to it with someone who I already felt was my best friend, something I've never had before, was amazing.
10 minutes later...
Gianna had now replaced her already fancy pyjamas, into even fancier, day clothes. She kinda matched me by wearing a summer dress too but hers was blue. She paired the outfit with some prada sunglasses, a Chanel bag and Nike trainers, since we'd be walking round a lot. Ironically, I think her outfit was worth more, than my life.
She did a spin whilst I cheered and approved the outfit. I then mimicked her spin and Gianna also cheered my outfit and gave it two thumbs up. We both laughed before leaving her room and going back down the stairs.
Now we were outside the house and honestly I didn't get a good look at it before because it was so dark but it was unbelievable. It was so modern and yet it also had a very homey feel to it, from the flowers in hanging baskets, to the casa mat which I knew translated to home. I could tell the Moretti family took pride in their houses' appearance.
Around 2 minutes later a car pulls up onto the very, long driveway and then a man stepped out. It was Gio. I waved at him as both me and Gia made our way over to the car.
Gio smiled at me, before opening the car door for both me and Gia.
All three of us were now seated in the car and Gio said, " where to today, miss Gianna". With no hesitation, Gianna replied with," città, per favore". She looked at me excitedly but as I looked at Gio, through the mirror, he looked as though he was surprised and worried by her answer. I wondered why.
Translation: Gianna- town, please.
