"What do the tattoos mean" i said brushing my fingers along both of their spines where 'le spine alla nostra rosa' was inked into their skin.
"it's italian for the thorns to our rose" Matteo said with a sad, heavy voice slowly turning around to make...
** time skip next day 6:30 pm ** Sadie was over helping my get ready. I was just about done, all I had to do was put on the dress that Matteo had bought for me yesterday and my heels
Once I was done I walked over to Matteo's place leaving Sadie on the couch binge watching how to get away with murder. "They should be here any minute but let me show you the rooftop"
"It came out exactly the way I wanted it to." "It definitely beats any restaurant I've been to" I said following him back down the stairs to his apartment. We reached the kitchen he turned around taking in my appearance . "Maybe I should have put you in something else" he said slowly stepping closer to me "Why? Is there something wrong with the dress? I thought you said you loved it yesterday." " I do love it but you look too good in it. I won't be able to take my eyes off of you tonight" he whispered in my ear tucking a strand of hair behind my ear then kissing my temple. His kiss was enough to relax every muscle that was clenched in anticipation. Truth was I wanted to stay in those arms forever. They made me feel like I had nothing to worry about because he would always be by my side to comfort me and support me. The moment ended all too soon when his doorbell rang. He took my hand and led me to the door and gave me a reassuring kiss on my hand before opening the door. There stood a beautiful girl with black hair rolling off her shoulders and a man that looked like an older version of Matteo. They both greeted Matteo with a hug then turned to me.

"I assume you are the Kiara Matteo has been Kiara about nonstop." His father said showing his strait white smile. "Yes, I'm Kiara King. It's so nice to meet you Mr. Moretti" i relied holding my arm out to greet him.
"Oh no honey we don't do handshakes." Matteo's step sister said stepping in front of her father and grabbing me into a hug. " Hello I'm Faith" She said in a happy and chirpy voice. "Hello faith" I said hugging her back then pulling away. "Where is Giovanni?" Matteo asked his father "He will be here in a little. He said he had to take care of some business." His father replied. The three of them were talking about this and that until the doorbell rang. I excused myself to get the door. I opened the door to see the person I least expected to see. It was the guy from the office the day before that i had bumped into. He looked just as surprised to see me but after a couple moments a smirk appeared. His heated gaze traveled from my face to my legs them back up to my face. I involuntarily licked my lips and I watched his eyes follow the path of my tong. Before either of us could say anything Matteo and his father came to the door. "You finally decided to show up" Mr. Moretti said giving him a hug. Never would I have thought that they were related. Now that they are next to each other, I can see a mild resemblance. "I think it's about time to go up to the roof" Matteo said leading his father and sister up the stairs. I turned and started walking towards the stairs but before I could make it there I felt a big hand wrap around my waist. Giovanni's breath brushed the side of my face as he pulled my back to his front. "I guess my brother got to you before could but that doesn't change a thing my neonata (Babygirl) " he said in his deep suggestive voice. My heart skipped a couple beats before I was able to catch my breath and try to pull out of his grip. Emphasized on the try. "We'll continue this later bellissima" he said removing his arm from my waist and going up the stairs. This is the second time he has left me standing frozen in shock.
** an hour later ** I had gotten to know his sister a little better as the guys caught up on whatever they were talking about in what i think is Italian. By the seriousness of the voices I could tell that what they were talking about was business. "So, what are you doing tomorrow? Maybe we can hang out before I leave town this weekend." Faith said taking a bite of the salad on her plate. Matteo had. A personal chef prepare us our meals and they were absolutely delicious. "I actually have work tomorrow but maybe after work on Friday" I replied also taking a bite of my food "Yes that sound great. I was thinking maybe the mall that way we can shop and then go to the spa right next to it" she said enthusiastically and I nodded in response. "Where do you work?" "Moretti enterprises, I'm an intern there" when i said that silence fell over the table "My brother's your boss?" Faith said with a shocked look on her face. "Your an intern?" Mr. Moretti said giving Matteo a disappointed look. "Is that how you met Matteo?" Faith asked "No i met him in front of this apartment building when we weren't paying attention then we ran into each other" "I guess you have a thing for running into Moretti's" Giovanni said taking a sip of his wine. Everyone gave a me puzzled look hinting at me to explain. "Yesterday morning I met Giovanni at work. We bumped into each other like I bumped into Matteo." I said making intense eye contact with Giovanni "Anyways I'm hanging out with Kiara after work on Friday, do you guys wanna meet up for another dinner?" Faith said breaking the silence that had fallen upon us. Everyone agreed to meet up then we went back down into Matteo's Penthouse. We said bye to Mr.Moretti and Faith. Giovanni was staying with Matteo so he helped clean the dishes from dinner. Once everything was clean it was only 9 and none of us were tired so we decided to go into the hot tub that was on his balcony.
