Chapter 27- Bella Signora

Becca's POV

Halfway through the dinner Aiden's phone rings and he picks up the phone and answers it.

I resume eating my chicken. Wow, it tastes delicious. It reminded me of home.

The remainder of my home made me feel sad about my parents being missing but I can't do anything other than wait.

Aiden answered the call and started talking in Italian.

I don't understand Italian but I do know a few words.

Now I know where he gets his good looks from. Italian men are hot.

Aiden's POV

I pick up the phone and see that it's a call from my mom so I answer it.

"Ciao mamma," I say in Italian. Becca looks at me surprised that I knew Italian. My mom was actually from Rome so I knew Italian.

After I smirk at her she goes back to stuffing her mouth with the chicken.

"Aiden ragazzo mio. Come stai piccola. Ho sentito che hai avuto un incidente." My mom says in a worried tone. (Aiden my boy. How are you baby? I heard that you got into an accident.)

She knows English but prefers to speak Italian with me.

"Sì mamma ho avuto un incidente."
(Yes Mom I did get into an accident.)
Great now I was about to get a lecture.

"Oh mio Dio. Stai bene Aiden. non è niente di serio giusto. Non sei ferito troppo gravemente, giusto. Vengo a Newberry proprio ora." She says worried.

(Oh My God. Are you fine Aiden? It's nothing serious right? You are not hurt too severely right? I'm coming to Newberry right now. )

"Mamma sto bene. È stato solo un piccolo incidente. Nulla di serio. Non preoccuparti mamma. Non devi venire qui mamma. Vengo comunque a Roma martedì." I say trying to calm her down.

(Mom I'm fine. It was just a small accident. Nothing serious. Don't worry momma. You don't have to come here, mom. I'm coming to Rome on Tuesday anyway.)

"Fantastico, prenoterò due biglietti e ti invierò i dettagli. Non vedo l'ora di vederti piccola." My mom says in a chirpy voice.

(Great I'll book two tickets and send you the details. I can't wait to see you baby.)

"Due?" I ask confused. ( Two?)

"Sì, uno per te e uno per la tua ragazza." (Yes one for you and one for your girlfriend.)

"Come hai saputo di lei?" ( How did you know about her?)

"Andiamo, ho le mie fonti. Pensi che mio figlio avrà la sua prima ragazza e non saprò nulla di lei?"

(Come on I have my sources. You think my son will have his first girlfriend and I'll not know about her?)

"Ok mamma glielo chiederò, ma non posso garantire nulla."
(Ok mom I'll ask her, but I can't guarantee anything.)

"Ok, piccolo. Mi manchi. A presto. Ciao" (Ok baby. I miss you. See you soon. Bye. )

"Ciao mamma. Ti amo." ( Bye mom. Love you.)

I cut the call and place the phone on the table.

Becca looks up at me seductively and says. "You look really sexy when you talk in your Italian accent."

"Grazie bella signora." I say emphasizing my accent and she bursts out laughing. (Thank you, beautiful lady.)

After her laugh subsides she looks at me and asks "Why did your mom call?"

"She got to know about the accident and she was worried. She wants me to go to Rome on Tuesday........."

"And....." She says urging me to continue.

"She wants you also to come."

She looks taken aback by the request but she regained herself and asked "Why?"

"Well, the thing is I've never had an official girlfriend before. So she got to know about you and now she wants to meet the girl who has his son wrapped around her fingers."

"Well, I would love to come. It will be a great distraction and we can spend some time together. I've never been to Italy before. When are we leaving?"

"Tuesday."

"Cool."

We both completed our dinner and then I dropped her at her house.

•°°•

We were sitting on the plane to Italy right now.

After my parents split my mom went back to Italy to spend some time with her parents and there she met her childhood love and they both fell in love again and they married four months ago.

They are both now settled down in Rome. Charles my stepfather owns his own company of some food products. They live in a villa in Rome.

I stayed back in Newberry because I wanted to complete my college here.

My dad lives in New York taking care of his hotels and restaurant chains.

Maddie's death broke apart our whole family.

I miss you, Maddie.

I hold Becca's hand in mine. She looks at me and smiles.

Even after so many days her smile still melts my heart.

I lean forward and kiss her which she returns eagerly.

I don't know how I got this lucky.

Becca means the world to me and I hope we will always be like this. Together. With each other.

I don't even want to imagine my life without her.

I hope I'm worthy of her.

Even though I'm really happy somewhere in the pit of my stomach I have a feeling that something terrible is going to happen.

But I just forget that and get lost in our kiss.

••°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°°•°••°•••°•°•°•°•°°

Tadaaaaaa. I just got back from hell.

1037

I lost this as well as the next two chapters that I had typed. I had to write it again. God, I thought I had published them too.

I just came back to write the next scene and poof those three chapters are gone.

So I had to rewrite this chapter again.

Dang, I'm losing my mind. I keep getting weirder day by day. I should stay away from coffee for a while because it's still 2 pm and I'm already on my 3rd cup.

I didn't know if I should make Aiden Spanish or French so I went off-road and made him Italian.

See one more evidence that I'm weird.

So let's go to Rome.

Do you like Aiden's romantic side?

Lots of love and thanks for reading.

XOXO
