Twelve years

I'm so exited.
Today I turn nineteen! I can't believe it, time goes by so fast.

I don't have big plans or anything, Delia said that Cata has arranged a small gathering, only family.
So the only attendees will be, Don, Cata,Massimo and Delia.perhaps Franco? He is Dons best bodyguard, besides his title I do consider him part of the family.

He has been there for me for some of my meltdowns, he is a good listener and kind.

Speaking of meltdowns.

It's been twelve years since I came to Italy.
It's been hard, despite never lacking anything, I still wonder what had gone wrong.

Twelve years since I saw my parents, they did contact me for some time, then nothing....

I always a wondered what happened, why they had to leave me here.
I asked Cata and Don but they said that my parents never told them.

It's weird actually, asking someone to take care of your child then disappear.
But maybe they do know what happened, who knows....

I finished getting ready, I'm wearing a simple light blue dress with thin straps and it has a few ruffles at the hem and the best part? It's glittery!
I'm so excited, thing is I really don't have anywhere to go since I'm not allowed to go out the mansion,but dressing up cheers me up.

Makeup is simple, just a little pearly glimmering eyeshadow and soft pink lip gloss and for my hair I just left it on its natural curls.

"Now for my favorite part" I said to myself as I put on my strap heels, they are a strong shade of royal blue with glitter on the straps.

I guess the theme it's glitter.

Once I finished i went downstairs, I don't want to be late even if it's just dinner with family.
When I reach the living room I saw someone I never thought I'd see, Arsenio.

He was standing in the middle of the living room with a glass on his hand, wearing an all black perfectly fitted suit.
His hair seem longer, styled so some strands of hair framed his face accentuating his sharp features.

He seem to notice me because the moment our eyes met I froze.

Electrified shivers run through my body, his sharp grey eyes seem to look deep into my soul. There seem to be certain fire on his.

Truth be told, I've had feelings for him for quite some time, at first they were innocent, he made me feel safe despite him been quite dangerous.

I once tried to make a move on him, with Massimos advice and encouragement, I tried to kiss, no... I did kiss Arsenio.

His reaction was not expected, he just pushed me aside and left....three years ago.

Yes, I was sixteen, and yes it was my first kiss, but does it count? It was just a peck and he immediately broke it by pushing me.
