Robbie's POV

as Mabel and i got out of the car i breathed in the cool fresh autumn air. i looked at the large gray house standing before us. it didn't look merely as big as it did when i was a boy. "ready to go in?" Mabel asked, rubbing the remnants of sleep from her gorgeous brown eyes. "yeah Mabs." i said smiling at her. i held her hand and we approached the giant mahogany door with a crystal doorknob, and golden knocker in the shape of a lions head. i took a deep breath and knocked on the giant door.

Mabel's POV

as soon as Robbie knocked on the door a tall older woman with silvery gray hair and forest green eyes opened the door. she looked like if a big gust of wind were to blow threw she would just blow away with it. "hi Nonna.." Robbie smiled shyly.

"Robbie the robot!" she smiled, giving him a giant bear hug. Robbie  blushed and hugged her back. "I've missed you so much! oh and you brought a friend with you!" she said pulling away from him and looking at me. "and shes so pretty!" she said as her glance made its way to our joined hands. a big smile formed on her thin lips. "lets go inside shall we? oh and tell the man in the car he may come too!" she smiled and went inside.

Robbie's POV

we all walked inside. she still had her huge colorful paintings and her giant one of a kind sculptures. "wow did you make these?" Mabel asked in awe. My Nonna chuckled "why yes, i did." she smiled. we sat on an old Victorian style couch with red velvet and matching arm chairs. my grandma has always had a thing for old stuff. "so how has everything been Nonna?" i asked.

"everything has been okay but i missed you." she said smiling. "sorry Nonna a lot of stuff has been going on lately.." i said feeling guilty. she glanced over at Mabel and said "oh i see.." i blushed "oh no not like that Nonna!" "i know, i know Robbie!" she laughed.

Mabel and the guy who drove us here laughed with her. "now who wants coffee? you all must be so tired after the drive here." she smiled, standing up. "I'll take a cup." the man who i found out later was named Rick said. "me too." i said smiling "yes please!" Mabel said yawning. "on it." My grandma said happily, leaving the room.

Mabel's POV

as she left the room i laid my head on Robbie's lap. he gently stroked my hair, making me even more tired. i yawned and slowly began to close my eyes. i didn't fall asleep though. "hey I'm back!" she said walking into the room with a tray containing 4 mugs, a small ceramic pitcher, and a small matching ceramic bowl filled with sugar cubes. i sat up as she put the tray down, attempting to fix my rats nest i call hair. i decided to just push it all back and put it up in a pony tail.

the guy who drove us here got his cup and said a quick "thank you." and began to drink his coffee. "thanks." Robbie and i both said, getting our cups and pouring cream and sugar in. "you're all welcome!" she smiled, putting a little sugar in her cup, stirring it in and beginning to drink. i took small sips of my really hot  coffee, along with Robbie while the two adults basically gulped theirs down. "so..how long have you two been dating?" his grandmother asked making me choke on my coffee for a second. i put it down on a coaster on the coffee table in front of us.

"u-um..well..2-3 months?" i said, clearing my throat. "yeah..you see grandma we don't exactly remember because like i said, a lot of stuff has been going on." he said, scratching the back of his head. "like what kind of things?" she asked, drinking her coffee. with that Robbie explained everything that's been going on. "hmm...i see.."  she said, taking a long sip of her coffee. "please Nonna. could you come with us? I'm worried that something might happen to you." Robbie said, fighting back tears.

i reached for his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze in an attempt to calm him down. "okay Robbie. I'll come  with you." she said smiling. "thank you!" he said smiling. after that it began to get dark so she let us stay the night. i got put with Robbie in his old room and Rick got put in the spare bedroom. while i was in the bathroom that night getting ready for bed i began to hear rain. i quickly finished putting on a nightgown that his grandma lent me and quickly brushed my hair. i walked to the bedroom and sat on the bed holding one of the pillows tightly.

Robbie walked in with nothing but night shorts on and wet hair, apparently he just got out of the shower. seeing him like this made me blush even though we have been dating for a few months. "are you okay Mabs? i heard the rain and i got out of the shower as fast as i could.." he said, concern evident in his eyes. he quickly walked over and sat on the side of the bed.

"I-I'm fine..but could you just hold me please??" i said quietly. he smiled warmly at me and wrapped his arms around me. i sighed, starting to relax. "thanks Robbie.." i said drifting off to sleep. "no problem Mabs.." Robbie said, adjusting himself so that i was laying on top of him. "buona notte bellissima..." he whispered in my ear. "what does that mean Robbie?" i mumbled sleepily. "it means..goodnight beautiful.." (which btw for those who don't know already, Nonna in Italian means grandma and buona notte bellissima is Italian) he said, turning out the light on the nightstand, taking out his phone, and putting some music on to drown out the sound of the rain. with that we both fell asleep.
