Adriano's Pov:

I arrive at Kingsway and get out my car. I see jack, i approach him and i see him trying to explain.
"Boss i tried to-" I raise my hand and he stops speaking. I glare at him then walk inside, it was empty. Except for one guy who was sitting in the middle of the room. Drama queen, must be Antonio. I walk to him and I see him get up. He smiles
"Ah Adriano, how nice of you to stop by"
"What do you want Antonio?"
He laughs "No welcome? Wow just as rude as always"
"Antonio what the fuck do you want?!" I hiss at him
"Heard you got a new play toy" what does he mean?
"What?" I look at him confused
"Don't play dumb with me Adriano" he says as he spins gently his glass of i guess whiskey. God he's not only trashing my bar but taking it's inventory as well
"Look i don't know what your talking about okay. Now get the hell out of my bar before i shoot you"
"Aw, what would Alice think of that" what.. he knows Alice. Well shit of course he does Luca must've told him. God dammit there is now a lot at stake now that he knows her. That bastard Luca when i see him I'm going to blow his brains.
"How do you know her?"  Well isn't that a stupid question
"She encountered Luca several times"
god daammit i take out my gun and point it at him "you mess with her means your messing with me and we all remember what happened when you messed with me, don't we Antonio" i see he makes fist with his hand and jaw tighten
"SHUT UP!" He throws his glass across the room. As I said drama queen. I wonder how was he related to her.
"Aw did i hit a soft spot, my apologies" i say sarcastically
"I'm going to destroy you Adriano"
"You tried didn't work. Find another hobby"
I start to walk out until i say "by the way the day after tomorrow my father is holding a dinner and you Adamo's are invited"
"Be careful with Alice she could well i don't know accidentally fall down the stairs" i halt in my steps but brush it off and walk out then i look at Jack "Tell our guest he can stay as much as he want" i get into my car and drive.

***

I arrive home and lay down on the couch. What to do what to do. Should i rest or go to Adam's Enterprise. Nah I'll just stay in today. I take off my suit and change into sweat pants and a black t-shirt. I lay down on my couch and call Jerome.
"Boss"
"Where is she?"
"She went to the mall with her friend" WHAT
"WHAT I TOLD YOU TO KEEP AN EYE ON HER" i scream at him
"I am, I'm following her right now" god since that Antonio knows her now she could be in danger
"Fine, don't you dare loose her Jerome I'll have your head"
I hear him gulp "Yes boss"
I hang up and rest

Alice's Pov:

I go to the mall with Cally and i cant help but feel
Im being followed but i brush it off. Today im going to have fun with my best friend. Then the unexpected happens, my stomach rumbles. God i just ate pizza
"Hey Cally"
"Yeah?" She says
"Let's go eat, I'm dying of starvation here"
She laughs "okay okay lets go drama queen"
We walk to the food court. What should i eat? Im feeling pizza but I've been eating that so maybe i should eat my second favorite thing. Pasta
We sit at a table and wait for our food.
"Alice" Cally said
"Yeah?"
"I know what Jamie told me is bullshit"
I gulp "What"
"But if you don't want to tell me its fine. I understand, i just don't want you hurt. I love you and i cant see you hurt. Your my best friend and your like my sister" she was on the verge of crying
"I know i love you too and i respect that you respect my privacy" i smile at her
"Okay now i need to go to the bathroom. Stay here cause our food is going to come and i don't want food snatchers to snatch it" she get up and takes her purse
"Okay mom" i laugh and she walks away.

I get my phone and put my earphones on and hear "i don't want to live forever" i start humming the song and decide to text Adriano.
"Hey" i wait for him to respond but it took him a long time so probably he is sleeping or something. I start to sing a bit again
"Wondering if i dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life, baby baby i feel crazy what is happening to me. I don't t want to live for ever " i stop singing and I hear Cally sitting
"Took you long enough, did you meet a hot guy on your way here?" I tease
"Well actually I am a hot guy" my eyes widen and i take off my earphones. I look up and see Luca, god how did he find me again. He's such a creep what does he want with me.
"What the fuck! How did you find me"
He smirks "Oh honey, I'm an expert at finding people"
"Just leave me alone Luca. I don't even know what you want with me"
"So did he tell you?" He asked while putting his hands to his face like a kid
"He told me everything and I don't care because he never hurt me. So please leave me alone" I hiss at him
He pouts "Aw honey I'm not here to bother you just to give you heads up"
"On what?" I ask him
"Saturday, you'll endure a lot of drama" what? I don't get it
"What do you mean?"
He laughs " you'll see, see you around honey" he gets up and blows me a kiss. Ew stupid weirdo, I wonder whats on Saturday. He said something about a lot of drama. Hmm maybe i should ask Adriano but maybe tomorrow. I shouldn't think about this, I'm here to spend the day with my best friend. I sigh and still have a sense that someone is watching me. I get out of my thoughts when the food arrive's, the waiter places it on the table and i smile at him. He smiled back and left. I waited for Cally to come back.

Seems like she's went somewhere, should i eat or wait for her. Maybe i will wait for her, but the food is hot and is staring right at me. My mouth water's, where is Cally? Humph, i take out my phone again and see if Adriano answered my text. Hmm empty notifications, well i guess i should text Aaro- i mean Luciano. I should change their names in my contacts. I should also tell him about Luca if i told Adriano right now he wouldn't let go out ever again. I text Luciano
"Hey:)" he instantly responds
"Hey Princess;)"
I smile "I'm at the mall right now and I'm starving:("
"Want me to drive over and keep you company?"
"Nah its fine Cally is here with me"
"Oh okay"
"Um so Luciano i don't want to tell Adriano. Promise to keep it a secret?"
Im pretty sure he's confused right now. It took him a while to text back but he said "depends on what's the secret princess"
"it's not that big just don't tell him anything yet i will probably tell him tomorrow"
"Oh yeah heard you were moving in with that ugly guy"
I laugh "He's not ugly he's actually very handsome in my opinion"
"Sure sure, so tell me what is it?"
"While i was waiting for Cally to come back. Luca came to me"
By the time i sent that i got a call from Luciano. I picked it up
"ALICE WHERE ARE YOU! DID HE HURT YOU CAZZI CHE STRONZO LUCA!"God damn it..
"Don't worry he's gone and he didn't hurt me he just said something" i said trying to calm him down
"Okay okay, what did he say?"
"Something about Saturday"
"Oh um Saturday um Uncle Stefano has made a decision to have a dinner and would love for you to come"
"Oh yeah sure-" then i hear someone sitting in front of me again.
"Um I gotta go see you on Saturday" i say to him
"Alice wait-" i hang up and see Cally
"Where have you been?"
"Oh see i saw the cutest dress and met this guy his name was Luca he says he knows you. Girl you got so many hotties on your trail" Luca..oh god how does he know Cally... well dumbass he's been following you so yeah maybe thats why! Shut up brain
"Hello earth to Alice" she snaps her finger's in front of my face
"Yeah yeah. What were you saying?"
"That we should start eating cause the foods getting cold" she started to gesture at the food.
"Well it was already cold but yeah lets eat" i laugh
She starts to eat and so do I.

After eating we walk around the mall and go window shopping. We ate a lot i wouldn't be surprised if i have gotten fatter. I open my phone and see the time, wow time flies. It was night
"Cally i think we should head home it's almost 8"
"Wow you're right i guess time flies fast when we're having fun" she laughs
"Yeah i guess it does"
We walk out and towards the car.

****
Its silent... i don't know what to say to her. Im moving tomorrow, i hope she will be okay alone. I start to tear up. Cally looks over to me
"Hey hey what's wrong Ally?" Cally says with a cracking voice
"I don't want to leave you alone what if something happens and I'm not there?" I say
"It's okay Ally. I just want you to be happy and if you're happy I'm fine. It seems that Jamie really loves you and i know he will take great care of you. Besides if he didn't i would kill him and its not like your going away forever and ever we can still go out and stuff" she smiles at me
"Yeah your right. Im sorry" i wipe my tears away
"Its okay Ally" she smiles but while concentrating on the road
I feel so happy i have a friend like her. I start to feel sleepy and yawn. Then I'm met by darkness.
