The Princess and the Devil✔️

77

Three months after the proposal

"Okay boys time to go" Said Madi as she pushed the guys out the door.

Jason moved around her and walked over to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist as I put my hands on his chest. "So the guys and I are going out for drinks." He leaned down next to my ear and pulled me flush against him. "You girls better be good princess or I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson." He whispered bringing his hand down and squeezing my ass.

I gasped and giggled. "Yes sir" I leaned up and pecked his lips. "You be good too." He nodded and kissed my forehead. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him for a moment. He let me go and caressed my cheek with the back of his hand. He then walked out of the house.

I sat down on the couch and Madi walked up to me sitting down next to me. "Alright, so Sam is on her way back from dropping off Patrick and Amelia is on her way."

"Good." I said. " and Madi please don't make tonight crazy. I just want to hang with my girls and get drunk." Madi sighed and nodded. I knew she wanted to do a bigger party but I asked her not to. Sam came home and Amelia followed soon after. We all sat in the living room with tons of bottles of alcohol in the middle of the room. "So are we ready to start drinking?" I asked.

Madi checked her phone. "Well, actually I have one more surprise for you."

I stared her dead in the face. "You better not have bought a male stripper," I warned.

She rolled her eyes. "It's not a stripper." There was a knock on the door. "And she's here."

"You bought a girl stripper?" Asked Amelia. "I mean that's fun but I think a guy would be more fun Madi."

She rolled her eyes. "I told you it isn't a stripper. Sydney, come answer the door with me."

I sighed standing up. "Okay," I said warily. We walked over to the door and Madi opened it to reveal Ariana and Giovanni. "Zia zio!" I smiled as I hugged Ariana.

"Ciao bambina," Said Ariana kissing the top of my head.

I then hugged Gio. "What are you guys doing here?"

"You think we would miss your wedding?" Said Gio. "Your friend had Chris call us so Ariana could come to the bachelorette party."

I turned around and smiled at Madi. "You did this?" She nodded. "Thank you"

"Your welcome."

"Well, Zia please come in and make yourself comfortable. Zio are you staying?" I asked.

He shook his head. "No, but I'll see you tomorrow." He started to walk back to his car.

I jogged yo to him and grabbed his arm. "Gio wait."

He turned around and grabbed my hand. "Yes?"

"Umm well, I umm have a question for you."

He smiled. "And I have an answer."

"Well, Gio you're family to me. You have been a family friend for as long as I can remember even longer and you helped me when I needed it. My father isn't here and neither is my brother. It- it would mean a lot to me if you would walk me down the aisle?" I asked.

He smiled and brought my hand up to his lips kissing the back of my hand. "I'd be honored to walk you down the aisle."

I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Grazie zio" he kissed my cheek before going to his car and driving off. I walked back into the house where the girls were all sitting on the couch and recliners with presents on their laps. "Am I getting gifts?" I asked.
