Ace P.O.V

I sit at my desk, and rub my face. I'm such an idiot for making her upset. Sofia Folliero is the most beautiful girl known to mankind. She had such a bubbly personality, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't jealous for the attention she gave Trevor and Jake.

I can see why she got upset, but I still don't believe she taught Trevor that move. I mean she's tiny! Sighing, I leave my office, and went to the gym.

"Trevor."

"Si Capo?" (yes boss)

"Who taught you how to do that move?" I ask, gesturing to what the new trainee is trying to do with Jake.

"My best friend, Sofie." My jaw drops, but I quickly mask it.

"The one that probably can't even reach the third shelf at a supermarket?" I ask, and he chuckles.

"She may be tiny, but she uses it to her advantage." He pauses. "She's had a rough past, but now she could take on anyone in this industry." Part of me wants to know what happened to her, while the other half wants it to be her telling me. I decide to stick with the latter.

"You're home early." Bradly says, plopping down on the couch beside me. You see, I have two younger brothers. Bradly is nineteen, while Daniel is sixteen.

"Hmm." I reply, still thinking about Sofia.

"Who is she?" He asks, and I face him, with a puzzled look on my face.

"You're thinking about a girl. Who is she?" Should I tell him? Brothers should tell each-other stuff, right?

"Her name is Sofia."

"Folliero?" I snap my eyes to him.

"How do you know her?" I demand, suddenly feeling possessive over her.

"She's Antonio's sister, and kind of famous." If you met her today, then it has to be her." Brad goes into the kitchen and comes out a few seconds later with a newspaper. On the front page, is Sofia and Trevor. Honestly, if he wasn't gay, I might have strangled him. So, she's a dancer.

"Check this out. Over a million subscribers. Trevor's pretty good, but most people watch only for Sofia." I looked through her videos, and found myself getting addicted to how gracefully she moves her body. One thing is for sure. I thought to myself. Sofia is the one for me.

"Antonio?" I ask while we're pulling out of the warehouse.

"Hmm?"

"Can we take the other route home?" Antonio nods, and takes a right turn.

You see, there is this house that I've been in love with since I was nine.

FLASHBACK:

"Cody stuck his tongue out at me, and pulled my hair. When I told my teacher about it, she told him he had to sit on the floor next to her desk for the rest of the day." I giggle while telling Dante about what happened at school today.

"When he sat down, he kept on..." I trail off once I see a beautiful house down the road. "Dante? Can we please stop for a second?" He pulls over, and looks at me worriedly.

The house was about the same size as ours, but it was beautiful.

"I'm going to grow up and buy that house." I declare, and see Dante smile.

"You know what, principessa? If you still want that house when you're all grown up, we'll buy it for you." (princess) Is this guy crazy? It has to cost over five million dollars.

"Actually, no thank you." I say, and see his face turns to one of surprise. "I'm going to buy it myself. With my own money. No matter how long it takes." Dante looks at me with pride in his eyes, then starts the engine again, driving off.

END OF FLASHBACK

Ever since that day, I've put all my money from dancing into a savings account labelled dream house.

Antonio pulls up just outside the house, and I stare out the window. According to my research, this house has a built-in dance studio. We have one back at our house as well, but theirs has a beautiful view, so while dancing, you can stare out of the floor-to-ceiling window.

When we get back home, I immediately change into my work-out clothes and head to the gym. I couldn't seem to get a certain pair of cerulean eyes out of my mind. Half an hour later, I realised that the gym wasn't working. I decided to call Trevor, to set up a rehearsal tomorrow.

"Hey banana." He greets. Trevor and Jake have this thing about calling me different fruits and vegetables.

"Hey Trev. I need to dance tomorrow." I say, taking a sip of water.

"Hmm, okay. This wouldn't be about a certain boss of mine, would it?" I feel my face heating up, but I blame it on my work-out.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I'll fetch you from work tomorrow at ten." I hang up before he can say anything else, considering he would only tell me I'm doing it to see Ace, which is totally not true. Well, not completely true...

Gah! I need to go back to the gym now!

"Hey, capo?" (boss) I look up from my laptop and motion for Trevor to enter. "Do you mind if I leave for an hour tomorrow?"

"Why do you need to leave?"

"Um well, my best friend and I are rehearsing. She's fetching me a twelve." So, Sofie will be here tomorrow.

"It's fine my me, but only if we don't have to do a raid. If that's the case, it will be at around half-past-twelve." I have and idea.
