Thanksgiving had finally arrived and Teresa was nervous as ever. Her father was coming and supposedly Giovanni's was to along with his step mother.

Teresa looked at herself in the mirror again. She ran her hands down her dress and sighed.

Giovanni told her his father was very picky. She knew she had to give a good impression.

She was indeed young but no too young. She was only two years younger than Giovanni and the Twins were her age.

Giovanni walked through the door and froze when he saw Teresa in the mirror.

Teresa looked at him with worry in her eyes. "I look bad don't I?" She asked.

Giovanni raised a brow then opened his mouth. "You look... beautiful." He finally said. He was honestly lost for words.

Teresa gasped. "You hesitated." Giovanni shook his head closing the door.

"No you look really beautiful.... I don't even know if I want you wearing that to be honest." He mumbled the last part.

He didn't know how he felt about his brother looking at her and even his father.

"Why not?" She asked frowning. She thought she didn't look right. She even had to do her hair a little because it was so short.

Giovanni liked her short hair and thought she looked more mature. "I don't want nobody looking at whats mine." Giovanni said shaking his head.

Teresa smiled a little. Giovanni held her waist and kissed her neck.

"Come on..my Dad is coming and I really tried to hide those hickeys." Giovanni laughed.

"You can try to hide those hickeys but not that limp you got." Teresa smacked her lips and slapped his chest.

"Don't laugh at me." She pouted fixing her necklace. Giovanni smiled. He never seen anyone so beautiful.

He didn't love her..but he has deep feelings for her and can't get enough of her.

"What you thinking about?" Teresa asked. Giovanni shook his head.

"How's yo Pops? Is he cool?" Giovanni asked. Teresa twisted her lips. "He's alright."

Giovanni nodded slowly. "He really wants to meet you though..he never liked Cameron."

She mumbled. "So what makes you think he'll like me?" Giovanni asked. He'd hate to hurt her father's feelings.

"Because your..different and sweet when you wanna be." Giovanni smiled a little.

He just didn't know she was slowly changing him.

"So how old are you Teresa?" Sonny, Giovanni's father, asked. Teresa smiled a little.

"I'm twenty.. I'll be turning twenty one around Christmas." She responded. Eric, Teresa's father, looked at Teresa then at Sonny.
