Billie POV
I couldn't help but smirk as I watched Anika get out of her car.
Usually I don't like American women but it's something about her that just makes her stand out.
The way her hips swayed side to side and her curves poked out of her clothing—it's a beautiful sight to see honestly. I noticed that she has two other kids but they're older.
The taller one at her house looks like he listens to King Von.
"Shiloh, get your lazy ass out here and help with these damn groceries!" Anika yelled to her other son
He seems more timid and quiet but those are the ones that do the most.
He looks like he listens to Daniel Caesar.
"Stai guardando di nuovo quella ragazza americana?" My father, Gino, spoke from behind me, startling me.
You're watching that American girl again?
"NO." I drew away from the window and tried to act like I wasn't
"Quando troverai una bella moglie italiana?" He asked
When are you going to find beautiful Italian wife?
"Papà, ti ho detto che sto facendo un viaggio di guarigione.." I told him
Papa, I told you that I'm on a healing journey..
"From what? Billie, I know this isn't about Ophelia." He rolled his eyes
"You don't know how bad she-
"You let a small woman tear you down. Maybe you should've just been born a normal girl. You have no balls, Billie. I tell you, one slap; it all goes away... Just like this," he said then slapped the air front to back
"Papa.." I sighed
"What? Your mother would've told you that I slap, slap, slap. I don't let bitch talk to me cray cray." He said
"Papa, I don't put my hands on my women." I told him
"You really need to. Find beautiful Italian women, Billie. All their kind does is complain, why you think I no like American women? They eat and nag." He told me
"Papa, stop. You don't know her." I said
"Her accent throws me off, she sounds mad and loud." Dad said
"Moving on... Gus has the shipment ready for us at the warehouse on Canal Street." I changed the topic
"I know, I already picked it up." He replied
"Okay so, you can go home now then." I replied
"Leave American woman alone, Billie. They're no good." He told me
"Papa, please just worry about yourself." I transitioned to the lazy boy in my front room
"I try to tell you what's best. But okay." He shrugged
He closed my door after leaving out then locked it. He's the only member with a key to my house, I don't trust the others.
Later that day
"Sappiamo tutto del tuo piccolo piano, Enzo." I said
We know all about your little plan, Enzo.
"non ho un piano lasciami andare!" He yelled
I don't have a plan. Let me go!
"alza il volume della musica. è così rumoroso." I told Matteo
Turn the music up. He's so loud
