New Life

Part 11

Tarso picked the girl up like planned and they talked for about 30 minutes before going to dinner. Chiara, Celso,  and Jen all sat at a table in the back of the room. Chiara was tapping her foot while Celso was chewing out Jen for throwing out all the alcoholic drinks out of the house.  Jen started to start fight back and that's when Chiara noticed the two people they were waiting for.

"They are here." She pointed them out in the crowd. Celso and Jen turned their head simultaneously in the direction Chiara pointed out.

"Yes, well very well then." Celso fixed his suit. "Jen, we'll talk about this later." She rolled her eyes but nodded.

"Yes, Sir." She folded her arms. Celso scoffed at her behavior.

"I should be the one mad, you threw out all my wine!" He mumbled angrily to himself, just loud enough for her to hear.

"Hello, Chiara, Jen, and last but not least, Celso. This is Kim. " He smiled and moved to the side to talk to Celso as he was on the edge of the little table they sat at.

"What do you think sir? She's very nice and smart." He whispered into Celso's ear. Chiara sat on the tip of her seat to try to see what he was saying. Jen whom was sitting by her, slapped her leg. She mouthed 'Not very lady like Chiara!'  Chiara frowned and rubbed her leg.

"So, Ms. Chiara you must but very happy to get along with everyone in the house. How do you do it?" Kim was still standing by the table awkwardly. 

Chiara noticed that Kim's hands were fidgeting with one another. She felt pity for a split second before she remembered that the only things stopping her from being with Tarso was this girl. So she put a fake smile on.

"Well it's very easy when you've had lots of time meeting and talking to everyone." Her smile was fake and her eyes were staring daggers into the poor girl.

"Oh, I see." Kim laughed but looked terrified of Chiara.

"How old are you my dear?" Jen smiled at Kim and turned to Chiara to glare at her.

"Eight-teen mam. I'm going to be helping out Tarso for a little bit. I knew a little about this and that." She smiled and spoke very politely making Chiara want to throw up.

"It's very nice to see some young people have manners." She looked over a Chiara for a bit. Chiara's mouth opened in shock.

"Yes, very much so." Jen continued to talk with her until the boys finished talking.

"So what do you two think of Kim?" Celso looked over to Chiara who just nodded.

"She very lovely. Tarso chose wisely, don't you agree Mr. Regio?" Jen  looked over to Celso with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes. Well, shall we eat?" Tarso quickly changed the subject when he saw Chiara bend the fork.

"Are you hungry, Ms. Chiara? Have we kept you from you eating for to long?" Celso joked poking the bear with a stick. When Chiara turned to him, for a second he swore he saw flames in her eyes.

"Yes, I'm starved. Let's eat shall we?" She put on a smile but annoyance was still flowing out of her.

"Great then! I'll get some Arancini for the table, and some French Bread. For some reason, here they only have one kind of bread. Is that okay with everyone?" Tarso looked around the table that they all sat at now.

"None what so ever."Kim smiled towards Tarso. Celso nodded his head in agreement.

"Very well then! I'll go order for everyone." Kim stopped him from getting up.
