Alice's Pov:

He had blonde hair and piercing icey blue eyes. He smiles at me and I do aswell
"Hello! Welcome to the apartment" I say while showing him the cookies
"Hi and thank you. Your very kind" he smiles and takes the cookies
"Your welcome, I live across you"
"My name is Jerome Nicholas Ivanov but people call me Nick" he smiles while extending his hand for me to shake
"Nice to meet you Nick. My name is Alice Mckenzie and people call me Alice or Ally" I smile back while shaking his hand.
"Well Thank you for the cookies Alice they smell heavenly. Reminds me of my mothers baking back home" he says
"Aw your so sweet. So, where are you from Nick?" I ask
"Oh, I'm from Russia but I moved here when I was a teen" he says
"Alone? That must've been tough for you" I honestly think a Teen moving into a place he doesn't know is kinda scary
"No no it's okay, I lived with my brother until he had some matters to take care of but I always had relatives near by. Oh how rude of me, Would you like to come in? There are alot of boxes but I do have a couch now" he laughs awkwardly
"Oh no don't trouble yourself but thank you for the offer. I have to get going now anyways my boyfriend is probably gonna wonder where I went" I laugh
"Boyfriend? Ah I see you live with him?"
I nod "Yeah I just moved in with him. His name is Adr-Jamie" I smile
"Jamie huh? Nice name"
"Yeah it is. Um I gotta go now Nick, I'll see you around" I wave goodbye and walk back to Adriano's Apartment.

I close the door quietly so I don't wake up Adriano. I tip toe to my room and see Adriano standing behind me. How did he get there fast, I might add. he looks mad at me.
"Where were you?" He asks me
"I went to see the new neighbor" I say sheepishly
"I knew it, Alice it's not safe outside. It could've been Luca or Antonio or someone else who would hurt you..."
"I'm sorry but please don't be mad"
"I'm not mad...it's just,I can't live without you Alice and I can't lose whats precious to me"
Damn protective much, I went next door not to another country. "I'm sorry but now I know who the new neighbor is. His name is Nick and he's very tall" I sigh
"His? It's a guy?"
"Yes and he's very kind. He's probably the same age as me. I guess I have a new friend"
"Hm yeah okay. Just please don't go without telling me because I would have to accompany you or one of my men" he says sternly
"Got it sir" I salute him and hold my laughter

I don't know what to do now. I just smile at him and ask if he wants to take a nap. He nods and walks to his room. Okay now what to do what to do? Should I watch a movie or something? Ugh I'm officially bored as hell. Adriano went to take a nap and I'm all alone. Maybe I should call Luciano to come and we can prank Adriano. Nah he's tired I shouldn't bother him, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I'm really bored maybe I should read. I go into my room and go to the library Adriano gave me. I feel like belle at this point 'cause I remember when I watched beauty and the beast, the beast gave her a library. I look around the library and see alot of books but only one caught my eye. HE LITERALLY PUT MY FAVORITE BOOKS IN HERE. I want to scream, how did he know? There was the whole fifty shades trilogy. How did he know I love these books. The story line is so beautiful without the "you know what" parts. Christian Grey I hope I find mine's one day. I stop fantasizing and get the 4 books, the forth book was Grey. I sit on my bed then start reading. As I was about to sit down I hear a notification on my phone. OH MY GOD! FIFTY SHADES DARKER IS ALREADY IN THEATERS I JUST REMEMBERED!!! Oh my god oh my god, how could i forget??! I have to go tomorrow or today! I'M SO HAPPY. Okay now lets read fifty shades darker to refresh my memory

Adriano's Pov:

I can't sleep... I don't know who the new neighbor is. What if he likes her? What if she likes him? Pft I highly doubt she will like him though. *you never know, you haven't even seen the person* shut up brain. She loves me and only me she said, so it's impossible she could like him. *what if he's her Christian grey?* BRAIN SHUT UP. I shouldn't even be thinking like this. Shes mine and mine only, I can't even imagine her with anyone else but me. Every time I do my blood boils, who is this guy anyways? She gave him cookies and her damn cookies are damn delicious. Also the way she went out there? She was looking so beautiful even with a huge sweater damn. What if he likes her? I better do a background check on this Nick guy. What's his full name though? Should I go next door and meet the guy? But I hate socializing. Maybe I should ask Mario to check out this guy and report to me. Now to get some work done, I call Luciano.
"Luciano, Adam's Enterprises wants to arrange a meeting with McCartney Incorporations"
"When? Oh shit i haven't been at work. I completely forgot about my business, I've been doing all this shit in the family that I totally forgot about my own business shit!" He says
"Stupid! I need to arrange a meeting for tomorrow afternoon. We need to keep this jig up or some people will get suspicious. I haven't been at work aswell and that's a bad sign"
"You? Not working? Impossible... you used to be there 24/7 Jamie Adams"
"I have alot of things to take care of now!  Just come to the meeting tomorrow and ready a presentation about your new product or something" I say
"Va bene, I'll ask my team to come up with something tomorrow. You better be at the meeting tomorrow and Alice is she going to be there?"
"No, she doesn't work for me remember"
"Oh okay great cause I feel like I'm going to hire her" WHAT? Is he stupid or something?
"It's not safe Luciano, your putting her life in danger. If I couldn't have hired her who the fuck thinks you can?" I say a bit loud
"Fine, I won't hire her but I'm going to take her out tomorrow just me and her. Okay?" He asks me
"Fuck no! I'm coming with you! Also I need you to help me with something"
"What is it?" He says
"I have a new neighbor and I need you to check him out. I can't shake this feeling that something is off about this guy. Either he likes Alice or something bad is going to happen"
"He likes Alice? I'm going to kill him!" Luciano shouts through the phone. Wow he's gonna kill him whoopee, I'm pretty sure I'm going to kill him first.
"Just please look him up"
"Why me? Why not Alonzo or Mario or someone else?" He says
"Because you haven't been doing any work for me lately and this is one of your tasks right now so DO IT!" I say
"Fine" he hangs up
