The Best Mistake

Chapter 5

<< His POV >>

When it was about 7 o'clock and the sun was just setting, me and my family headed out to Juliet's.

My dad rang the doorbell and a petite middle-aged woman answered the door.

"Ariana!" she said

"Irene! How are you? It's been a long time since we last saw each other." Mamma said as they hugged.

[In case you are wondering, Mamma in Italy is spelled with two M's.]

"Well, come in. You have such a beautiful family."

"Thank you. What a lovely house you have."

"Oh Thank you. Please come in the living room."

We went there and sat down. They were just talking about the family when Juliet's mom said.

"Ummm. You are Kyle right?"

I nodded and smiled.

"I am so sorry she punched you and I apologize for her actions."

"Please don't mind it anymore. I feel much better now."

"Oh good, will you do me a favor and call my daughter. Go up the stairs and her bedroom has a blue door."

"Okay."

I calmy went up the stairs and I saw her bedroom door opened and I saw her looking at herself in the mirror. I couldn't say anything but,

"You look so beautiful." then she blushed.

"Oh and you're... mom's looking for you." I scratched my neck.

"Really?"she said

She ran downstairs and left me mesmerized. Halfway down the stairs she looked back at me with a weak smile and said,

"Thanks." and then she continued walking down the stairs.

<< Her POV >>

I went downstairs and as I entered the living room I greeted everyone with a smile and a simple "Hello."

As I sat down, Kyle entered the room and sat between his mother talking with mine and her sister smiling while texting.

Just then my dad entered the front door. 

"Hello everybody!" he smiled

"Ariana, Marco, this is my husband Mickey."

"Nice to make your acquaintance." Kyle's dad said as he shaked dad's hand.

"Ariana. And these are my lovely children Kyle Luigi and Megan Marzia." She said as they shook dad's hand.

"Hello." His sister said.

"Evening,sir." Kyle said.

"Are you the boy who was punched by my lovely daughter?" dad asked.

I literally facepalmed myself when Kyle glanced over his shoulder to smirk at me then he answered,

"Yes." he said.

I knew he was evil behind his smile.

"I apologize for what she did." dad said.

"Don't worry about it anymore." he smiled

"Well then everybody dinner's ready." mom announced and we all went to the kitchen.

We sat down with both fathers at the end of table and their wives at their right. I sat across Kyle in the center and his sister was sitting beside me.

"Irene, do you need any help in the kitchen?" Aunt Ariana asked mom.

"You are more than welcome to help."

"We'll be back."

As the two mothers left, the fathers began talking.

"So Mickey? You look different from the last time I saw you."

"And when was that?"

"At my wedding."

"Oh I wasn't there. I'm Irene's second husband. You're talking about Ronald, Irene's first husband and my daughter's dad."

I cringed when I heard my father's name.

"Are you okay?" Megan asked.

I was fighting my tears back, "Yeah...yeah. I...just need...air." and I ran out to the yard.

<< His POV >>

"What's up with her?" I asked.

"Let's not talk about it, son." he said.

"Okay."

"Dinner's ready." they announced but as they saw the empty chair next to my sister they knew something was up.

I excused myself from the table and walked outside to the yard. She was sitting on her old swingset.

"C'mon, we're waiting for you."

"Will you please leave me alone for just a minute?!"

"Okay."

I just looked at her. She was covering her face with both of her hands while she silently cried.

"Just let it all out." I said.

After a few seconds, she stood up and wiped the tears off her face.

"C'mon, let's not make them wait."

She walked inside without looking back at me.

And I just followed back.

The jolly aura went straight back while eating dinner. Everyone was worried about her but they didn't want to ruin the evening.

Everyone was smiling while Juliet was sulking. I tapped her foot under the table and when she looked at me I gestured her to smile. But she just focused on the meal.

When I was nearly done with the tiramisu, I felt my phone vibrated in my pocket. While no one was looking at me I stole a glance at my phone. It was from Sarah.

Heyyyyyyyyyy!!! Wer u at??? :)))) Party's starting!! Everybody's waiting 4 u. ^.^

Call me when you get this!!!!!!!!! *3* :D

~Sarah

I didn't need to rush. People won't be bummed if I get late. We finished the meal and my mom thanked their family for a great dinner.

"We should do this more often, Ariana." 

"I agree."

We said goodbyes then we left their house and walked back home.
