Something special

Chapter 12

Sofie P.O.V

"Sofie?" Gio sticks his head into my temporary room. Well, we've been here for four months.

"Aren't you supposed to be at work?" I question, writing down the alterations I need to make on my gown for the mafia ball.

"I was, but I came back to tell you that we can move back home again." My hands froze.

"Already?" I ask. Living in my dream house with my dream man, is kind of something I don't want to leave.

"Yup. We're leaving tonight, since the house is now safe." I nod my head slowly, not even registering when he leaves the room.

"Hey kitten." I hear Ace say. I look up from my sketchbook and smile slightly.

"Hey." I try to sound happy, but I keep thinking about how today is my last day here.

"What's wrong?" He asks, laying down next to me on the grass with his hands folded behind his head. I lay down next to him with my head on his chest.

"We're going back tonight." I say softly. Ace tenses beneath me.

"Tonight?" I nod against his chest. Ace's arms wrap around me, and I feel complete. Well, that only lasts about a minute, until I realise that we won't be doing this every day. "We'll see each other every day." He says, rather than asks.

"Every day? What is I'm busy?" I ask with a smirk.

"We'll make a plan." I smile at his determination. Reaching up, I trace his jawline with my index finger.

"You're really pretty." I say, staring into his eyes. He scowls at my comment.

"I think you meant manly and ruggedly handsome." I let out a giggle.

"Hey Ace?" I ask after a minute of comfortable silence.

"Hmm?" He's currently running his fingers through my hair. I prop myself up on one elbow.

"I have a dance performance coming up in a week. Do you think you can make it?" I don't know why I'm nervous for asking him. Probably because Ace has never seen me dance other from rehearsals. Stage is completely different. Ace's bright smile and dimple make my nerves settle down.

"I would love to see you dance." I rest my head back on his chest, and simply enjoy the moment.

Ace P.O.V

It's been a week since Sofie and the guys left, and I've been missing seeing her when I got home every day. It's not like we don't see each other, in fact we see each other almost every night, but the house isn't the same without her speaking about how amazing the construction is every minute.

"Boys, hurry the hell up!" I shout up the stairs. Tonight is Sofie's performance, and I can't wait to see her dance in front of everyone.

"Coming!" Dan yells, running down the stairs while trying to fix his tie at the same time. Idiot.

When we get to the venue, my driver and bodyguard, Santino, found a good parking spot and led us inside. The hall was decorated in red and silver accents, and at the end was a huge stage.

Spotting her brothers, we make our way over to them and make small talk.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if we could please take our seats." The murmurs stopped, as everyone took a seat. Emmalin and Nick join us then with the kids.

Apparently, Sofie and Trevor were the special guests for the night, and the actual event was a charity auction.

"Now that we've come to the end of the auction, could we please have a round of applause for Sofia and Trevor who will be performing for us. Now, these are actual Broadway stars, so please give them a warm welcome." Everyone claps and cheers.

I recognise the song as 'can't stop the feeling' by Justin Timberlake. When Sofie skips on stage, my breath hitches. I swear, every time I see her, she becomes more beautiful. The dance is a fast paced one, and I can see Sofie being lost in the music. I also see the move she used on Jordan.

After Sofie posted a video of Brad's band on her social media, she's been Brad's absolute favourite person in the world. She managed to land them a few gigs, and now they're doing really well.

When the performance is over, the audience gives them a standing ovation, and the cheers are deafening.

While I'm speaking to someone, I feel a tap on my shoulder. "You made it." I turn around and see Sofie. I wrap my arms around her waist immediately, completely forgetting about the person who I was previously speaking to. God, i love her so much.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world, gattina." I murmur against her skin, and smirk when I see goose bumps erupt on her skin. I softly kiss her, and look into her teal eyes that have a certain sparkle to them.

"Well, unfortunately for you, you're stuck coming to all of my future performances." She winks at me, causing me to chuckle.

"You say it like it's a bad thing." I say, watching as a blush creeps up her cheeks.

"Come on, I need to see Emmy." Sofie places her hand in mine and leads me to where the others are standing.

My precious kitten. I'm so glad that she's safe now. We had gotten rid of Stephan Rossi.

We found out he was th leader of a small gang. I have no idea why they would think they could go after the Folliero family, but we didn't look for an answer. We simply eliminated every member.

Now, Sofie doesn't need to be scared of leaving the house, and we can spend the rest of our lives happily.
