After my best friends arrive and introduce themselves to everyone, Mateo's grandma grabs me by my upper arm and drags me inside the extremely large house. As she's pulling me deeper inside I'm only able to see blurs of their home because of her speed. How can an old lady walk this fast? I hope I'm this active when I'm her age. Probably not after years of eating burek.

She finally slows down as we enter the large dining room. I notice a long table full of tons of food. Mateo's grandma pushes me into an empty chair and starts pilling food onto the plate in front of me. She leaves the room to grab drinks and when she comes back she realizes that my plate is untouched. She grabs the spoon and starts feeding me like a baby.

Mateo, Mark, Eliza, Gabby, Gio, Stefano and Ella enter the dining room and stare at me being fed like a toddler.

"Girls, come, come. You need to get food in you," the boys' grandma says in English with a thick accent Italian accent like her son, Allesandro.

"Thank you, ma'am. You really didn't need to do all this for us," Ella says respectfully.

"Nonsense, and please call me Nonna," she says.

"Grazie Nonna," Gio says stuffing his mouth with food.

Mark walks over to my left, pulls out the chair and sits down, and Mateo sits down on my right. Gab sits next to Mark, Eliza sits across from us, so does Ella and Gio.

"Don't be shy. Eat," Nonna says finally sitting down next to Gio.

"I'm not shy, Nonna," replies Gio.

She raises her hand and smacks him on the back of the head. "I wasn't talking to you dumbass cagna."(Bitch)

My mouth drops at her comment. Of course, I swear but I've never heard a grandmother swear, let alone to her own grandchild.

Mateo sees me shocked and whispers into my ear, "She and my Grandfather used to run the mafia side by side. They used to do everything together but when he got murdered she was left alone to run the mafia and her 2 sons."

As he's telling me this my heart starts beating faster. I feel terrible for her. I know it's difficult to raise 2 children alone, I can't imagine what it's like to run the mafia as well.

"I'm so sorry. You really didn't have to tell me that if you weren't comfortable," I tell him as I reach for his hand before he pulls it away.

"It is alright," he says to me before turning towards the rest of the table.

"Mark and I have some business to attend to, so Gio and Stefano, give the girls a tour of the house. Please make yourselves at home," he says to us before standing up and walking away.

After a few minutes of eating, Gio and Stefano start leading us around the house.

"So, this is where I first learned how to handle a gun at the age of 13," Gio points at a picture frame.

"A photo?" Ella asks.

He tips the frame and there are multiple bullet-size holes.

"He didn't tell us about the hole until 6 years later. And we still haven't fixed the hole," Stefano says annoyed.

"Why didn't you guys fix it? You can afford it," Eliza says.

"Gio started sobbing when the construction man entered our house, so I had to pay double the amount they asked for in the beginning," Stefano says walking away angrily.

"This is where I lost my v-" Gio says pointing to a couch inside the family room.

"Don't," Stefano says rubbing his temples.

"On there? Ew," cries Ella.

"Let's talk about something else?" I ask.

We head down the hall and in front of us stands a pair of large elevator doors. We hop in and ride it up to the next floor.

"So also this is-" Gio starts yet again.

"No!" we all yell at the same time.

"But Mateo said-" Gio starts before getting cut off by Stefano.

"Okay, don't listen to Gio. This floor has the library, 4 study rooms, theater, and game room. On our left is where all the maids and cooks rooms are."

"What don't you guys have?" Ella asks.

"Well I wanted a bowling alley but Mateo said we need a weapon room instead," Gio replies to her question.

We step out of the elevator and into the 3rd floor.

"This is where everyone else's room is. Some people live in other houses but this is the main house," explains Stefano.

"All our rooms are next to each other. But this is my room," winks Gio.

"Anyway, Angela this is your room. Gabriella this is yours, Ella you are over here and Eliza over there," Stefano says while pointing to each of our rooms.

I walk into the room and it's larger than our whole house. I walk into the closet and realize that all my clothes are hung on racks. My make-up is organized in one of the many drawers in the dresser and my phone and computer and charging.

A light haired girl walks into the room. She looks a bit older than me but not by much maybe by a year or so. She's wearing a bright blue dress and fluffy white slippers. She notices me and smiles. "Hi, I'm Olivia, Gio's sister."

"I didn't know Gio had a sister," I tell her.

"Well, you just met him. In a week, you'll know everything about him. Anyway, I'm going to be around a lot, so if you ever need anything just call out," she says before giving me a smile and walking away.

I hop off my bed, turn off my light and head toward Gabby's room. I crack the door open a bit and notice her and Mark talking. She giggles at something he says. I turn to walk away but I run into someone; Gio.

"Spying on them I see," he says catching me before I hit the floor.

"I went to go say 'Goodnight' but I guess she's busy," I say starting to walk towards my room.

"You can always say goodnight to me, teddy bear," he says wrapping his hands around my waist.

"Goodnight."

"Go sleep. You all have a big day tomorrow."

I go back into my room, slip on some pajamas, brush my teeth, slip into the silky bed and fall fast asleep.
