Alice's Pov:

God i drank too much tea. Alessandra was kind enough to show me the bathroom. "Thank you Alessandra"
"Your welcome dear"
I went inside the bathroom and did my buissness. I looked in the mirror and i was wearing jamies hoodie. I looked at my hair and it was a mess. I decided to get a hair tie that luckily was in my pocket. I put my hair in a messy bun and went out. I looked out side the bathroom and didnt see Alessandra i guess she had to do something, i walked out and tried to find the living room again. But man this place is huge, itll take me forever to find the living room. I saw a figure on the other side of the hallway, it looked like jamie but how did he change to a suit? I guess he has to wear a suit like Aaron or i might say luciano.

I call out his name "Jamie! I couldnt find the living room"
Jamie turned his head and started to walk towards me and i start to too. As im getting close i realise he wasnt jamie. SH*T! THIS IS A MAFIA HOUSE. Now you realise captain obvious? Hes coming fast, i backwards my steps. He runs at me and i run too. Oh my god what is happening.

I keep running cause he keeps chasing me GOD HOW LONG IS THIS HALLWAY. "YOU! STOP RIGHT THERE!" Wait a minute if i run he'll think im some kind of intruder. So i stop running, i should explain to him what happend. "Um..m sssirr?"
He pulls out a gun, COME ON MORE GUNS? I got scared and did what any person would do i scream.
I take a look at the guy hes very tall, really handsome. Black hair, brown eyes and muscles. Damn his muscles.
"What are you doing here? Are you a rat?"
I stay silent. "TALK!" He was pointing the gun at me and started to move towards me. "Did Dante send you? Did he tell you to seduce me?Well that aint going to work honey" wow this guy is delusional. I almost laugh because he thought i was going to seduce him, i roll my eyes. As im about to reply to him, I see Jamie and Aaron. Maybe i should start calling them by their real names. Well Luciano looked petrified, i think he though that guy was going to shoot me. He probably is if SOMEBODY DOESNT HELP ME.

"ALONZO DONT!" Adriano said well he practically barked at him
"What the fuck Adriano, she could be a spy from dante!" The guy said still pointing the gun at me.
" lei è la mia fidanzata!!" As soon Adriano said that Lucianos eyes widened so did the guy i guess his name was Alonzo? What ever Adriano said made him put the gun down and now hes walking towards me. Um what do i do? "Im sorry bella" he kissed my hand and i blushed "i didnt know you were my brothers girlfriend, I always thought he was gay. He never once brought a girl home" He smiled WAIT BROTHER?! SO HE DOES HAVE A BROTHER
"What? No No No" i shake my hands. Well technically im not his girlfriend YET. Adriano looked at me and so did luciano with a realive look on his face. Hm wonder why?
"I knew it. Your too beautiful to be with that ugly face troll" he cupped my face. I wanted to say that he looked just like him.
"Well then, if you arent my brothers girlfriend..." He grinned and as soon as i know it im in his arms and wayyyy to close to him. I try to push him off but hes too strong. "How would you like to be mine? After all I am the most handsome sibling and we seem yhe same age. Why would you want to be with a grandpa" NO NO NO HAHA NO. TOO MUCH GOING ON HERE. I looked at Adriano for help, helooked pissed and took me from his arms and hugged me. Oo now i know what Alonzo is trying to do. Hes trying to make Adriano jelous.
"Back off Alonzo" he growled
"Aw im just playing Adriano, but she is beautiful and really hot" he winked at me.. He winked. I roll my eyes, total player for sure.

Luciano and Adriano growled at the same time. Haha see they are the same, I giggle.
"So are we just going to stand here in the hallway or go to the living room? Or what i rather perfer you guys go to the living room play with your toys like good little boys and ill take this lovely lady to my bedroom" Alonzo winked again at me.
"Yeah NEVER HAPPENING. Lets go" Adriano said. As were walking Alonzo snatches me from Adriano and now has his arm around my shoulder. I just go with it.
"So Alice, or should i say JULIET DUN DUN DUN" what the fuck is wrong with this guy
"What the f?"
"What? Oh you must be juliet right? Cause im your romeo baby"
Now i know where the cheesy punch lines come from. Aw hes kinda cute and funny. Well no hes not cute hes actually hot. Really, really hot. Well he is Adrianos brother
"So you think im cute? Oh wait im really really hot" he grinned and mocked my tone. Holy shit no no i was thinking out loud
"Nnnoo.." I say embarrassed
"Aw dont deny it babe, I know i am hot" i dont know how this man was so serious on killing me now is flirting with me, Bipolar much. I dont answer him and shake his arm off me.
"Aw is the little kitty mad, im sor- HEY I FOUND YOU A NICKNAME" oh gosh really, literally i have too many nicknames from those two and now he wants to add one. He turned to the guys
"GUYS I HAVE A NICKNAME FOR HER"
"I already have a nickname for her" Adriano said while looking at him with an angry look.
"Nah i wont like any of the names you give her, So from now on im going to call her kitten."
Adriano and Luciano raised their eyebrows. I love cats but im not going to be names by an animal.
"No dont call me that"
"Aw why kitten it suits you. Cute, adorable and lovable. Really lovable" even though im wearing an over sized hoodie he still eyeballs me from top to bottom. Pervert. AHA I GOT IT
"Well if you are going to call me a kitten im going to call you a pervert"
"You wound me kitten" he puts his hand on his heart and fake pouts. We finally reach the living room. THANK GOD i open the door and then i see an old man sitting there drinking tea and reading.

He had grey hair, he was probably in his 60's, his eyes they were grey.
"Ah there you are" he gets up and the three guys tense up.
"And who is this beauty?"
He gets up from his chair and walk toward us. Adriano moves in front of me and walks towards to the old man
"Hello don" don...don...STEFANO MORETTI! No no no i..i..i i dont know what to do. He killed so many people, i just stay still
"Oh pish posh dont need formalities here my son, Ah i see Luciano is here" luciano tenses up and walks towards him
"Don Stefano" he kisses his hand
"Ah and Alonzo. Its like a family reunion and i guess this will be a new addition to our family, yes? So which one does she belong too? It must be Alonzo. Come here dear" i look at Adriano and he nods. So i walk towards him.. "Well dont be shy dear, whats your name?"
"A-aalice"
"Alice? Hm you dont seem like an Alice to me. Tell me dear are you italian?"
"Um not that i know of sir, My father is American and my mother as well sir"
He raised an eyebrow " Are you sure?"
"Yes sir"
"Oh then come here and sit Alice"
He sat down in his chair and told me to sit on the couch next to it and so i did. Adriano sat next to me and Alonzo sat next to Luciano. I just sat there while they were all talking in some Italian. I couldnt understand.

Adriano's (aka jamie) Pov:

I sat beside Alice, i cant believe my father thought this beautiful girl would be Alonzo's. SHES MINE, Luciano is here ugh. I saw what he was trying to do back there, trying to make me jelous HA not going to work.
"Ah Alonzo, you brought a beautiful girl home im so happy son. I hope you two get married"
My mouth opens and i could feel my blood boiling. I look at Alice and her eyes widen "Father thats my girl"
"Are you sure? I thought you were gay"
My own father thought i was gay. God have mercy.
"Father how could you say such a thing!" Oh shit i just raised my voice, well its not like im scared of him
"Hahaha im just playing with you boy. I saw how defensive you are towards her" Luciano looked at my father
"Ah and lets not forget Luciano. You like her too yes?"
What the hell dad. How did you know.. Lucianos eyes widened when he heard my father say this.
"I know because the way he looks at her. You both look at her like shes the most precious thing in the world. Which is good, Once you know you love a woman she is the most precious  thing in the world" because she is.... "I always looked at your mother that way Adriano. If you love her Fight for her" he whisperd in my ear. I nodded

My father looked at alice for a minute.. Why does it seem like he knows her. "Alice so honey tell me how do you know Adriano?"
Oh shit "oh um i know him from a job interview from his company. But sadly i didnt get the job because he didnt want to hire me"
"Well thats actually a good move Adriano, Alice, honey this buissness is dangerous even the side buissnesses"
Dad no dont tell her that, as soon as he said that Alice glared at me. Well im fucked "Again another lie Adriano" my father looked confused at raised and eyebrow towards my direction
"Lie?"
Well im dead either way might as well tell him "You see... You know how i use my name as Jamie Adams for the side buissnesses"
He then nods "see i told Alice that i couldnt hire her because um i had feelings for her. Strong feelings might i add"  i looked at Alice and i saw her blush. "Ah i see... Adriano dont lie again"
"I needed too dad"
I see Luciano about to open his mouth "Don-"
"Luciano no formalities when were home"
"Uncle Stefano, Luca he-"
I cut him off "Nothing he did nothing"
"Its not polite to interupt people Adriano. Luciano now tell me what did luca do?"
"Adriano, he went to eat breakfast with Alice and he said Luca was there"
"And?" My father raised his eyebrow at luciano, Then Luciano looked at me.
"I think he wants to hurt Adriano or worse Alice"
"And why would he do that?"
"BECAUSE DAD THE ADAMO'S STILL THINK WE TOOK HIS DAUGHTER" i realised what i just said... I shouldnt have raised my voice. I clear my voice " im sorry i raised my voice. That was rude of me..."
"From long ago i have told Dante that i would never touch his daughter. I loved her like my own daughter as well. She was a beautiful young girl." That she was... I wish no one ever took her. She was my first love, i was just a young boy but i knew i had to protect her from everything bad in the world. But sadly i couldnt, someone took her on that day. From that day i never felt love for anyone again.. Except when i met Alice.... When i met Alice i was thinking god was giving me a second chance on protecting whats precious. Alice...shes precious. My happiness and i wont let anyone take my hapiness again not even luciano. I got pulled out of my thoughts by Luciano.
"Well Alice i think your tired. Would you like me to take you home?"
My fathers eyebrow raised... Wait a minute Luciano taking Alice home? Haha no, shes mine "No ill take her home. You stay here Luciano"
"Yes stay here Luciano i need to ask you about the club downtown and how everything is going"
"Yes Don"
I smirked at him HA! Thank you dad. Luciano looked pissed haha
"Alice shall we?"
She got up and spoke "Thank you, it was a pleasure meeting all of you" my father got up and hugged alice. He then let go
"Yes sir, thank you for everything"
"Please call me Stefano"
She smiled and i took her hand and walked out witt her.
