Spending time with my family is amazing. Being with my siblings right now, drinking, and talking is the best right now. Oliver is telling funny old childhood memories and everyone is just enjoying themself.

"Remember that time Keyona snuck out and tried to go to that college party when she was only 15 and dad caught her. It was rainy and she was wearing this little tiny skirt and tank top. He saw her walking across the street and yelled her name so loud that she jumped and fell in that puddle of mud but to find out it wasn't just mud." Everyone starts busting out laughing and I pull my hands to cover my face in embarrassment. Oliver always tells this story about me.

"It was not funny. I thought I smelled shit everywhere I went for like two weeks straight." I said rolling my eyes.

"Yeah, it was a real shitty situation," Aydin said making everyone laugh so hard while I crossed my arms and pouted.

They always pick on me and tell my embarrassing stories.

"Remember my 21st birthday and we went to that club and Oliver was so drunk and there was that really pretty girl that was trying to get at him but he end up throwing up all over her," I said looking at him.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS OLIVER?!" Leo yelled with his mouth open wide.

"That was not funny, we were just playing a drinking game at home before we went to the club and then drank some more. Yall knew I never drank that much." Oliver tried to explain but only made us laugh harder.

We were just laughing so hard until this big bulky guy came up and whispered something in Oliver's ear and then looked at Leo. Oli nodded his head. He bent down to tell me.

"Hey, my boss is upstairs and needs me to come to talk to him. It shouldn't take too long. Tell everyone and make sure yall get some more drinks. Remember that my boss is paying for them tonight. Okay?"

I nod. "Hopefully one day I'll be able to meet this generous boss of yours." I get up and hug him. "I'll see you in an hour." He shakes his head and I see him and Leo walk away. I sit back down and see Ryker irritating Aydin. I just laugh. I feel someone grab my hand and yank me up.

"Let's go get some more drink and then go dancing!" Nova yells, pulling me towards the bar. We see two open seats and grab them. Josie sees us and smiles. She walks towards us.

"Yall want another drink?"

"Yeah, can you give us four shots of tequila?" Nova asks. I quickly shake my head.

"No. No. No. I am not taking any shots today." I hate shots. I really do.

"It's our first night in Italy. WE. HAVE. TO. TAKE. SHOTS." She says, stopping at every word.

"How about I pour six tequila shots and I take two with yall ladies. I have been so busy dealing with these drunk tards that I need a shot too." Josie says. I look at her and then at Nova. She doing those puppy dog eyes. I look back at Josie and then just nod my head. They both clap and then Josie grabs six shot glasses, taking a lime and rubbing it around the rim and then dipping it in salt. Once they all had salt on them, she lays out the six glasses all in a row. She turned around where all the liquor is and got the most expensive top-shelf tequila. She comes backs and does a quick line over the glasses. Pour the shots and not dropping any on the counter. It was really impressive.

"How long have you been a bartender, Josie?" I ask. She smiles at me. "I have been a bartender since I was 21. So for almost 3 years now."

"That's impressive," I said. Because it really was. She mastered pouring more than two shot glasses at once and not even dropping one drop.

"Well let's take these?" She placed two shots in front of me and then two in front of Nova. She picks up one and waits for us. She hands us limes and says "Welcome to Italy." We raise our shots and then chug them. I feel it burn my throat. I quickly drop it and chug the next one. Biting on my line quickly. *Scrunching my face together and feeling it go down my throat.

We sit there and talk to Josie for a minute before Novas' favorite song comes on. Earn it by The Weekend. She grabs my hand and drags me to the dance floor. She starts to move her hips and I join along. I lean my head back and slowly move my hips in circles. I suddenly feel someone grab my hips. I look back and see this guy with blond hair and green eyes. You can tell he was drunk because he was swinging side to side. I didn't really think much of it but then he started to grip my hips tightly and then I felt his lips on the back of my neck. I stop dancing and look at him.

"Let go and don't put your lips on me," I tell him and he just smirks. He tried to grab my hand and I pull it away from him quickly. He reaches over with one hand and grabs my arm, twisting me around and then holding my waist with his other.

"You have no idea who you are messing with baby." He kisses my neck again. I try to push away from him. But he won't budge, but I yank hard and turn to face him. He grabs me again and I quickly knee him. I look behind me and see Nova look at me. I try to walk away again but he grabs me again.

"Let me the fuck go!" I yell at him. He looks angry. I see Nova run towards VIP, probably to try and get my brothers.

"YOU WHORE! YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET THAT!" He sneered at me.

I quickly snap my head towards him. "What did you just call me?" I know he didn't just call me a whore. I see my brothers run towards me.

"Did you just call me a whore?" I said. Loud enough for anybody close to me can hear me. Even with the loud music playing.

"You done fucked up now dude," Kevion says and smirks. The dude looks at him and rolls his eyes. "What the fuck is this little WHORE going to do?!" He yells at my brother but looks at me when he said whore. I start laughing and he looks at me like I'm crazy. Actually, I might be a little crazy but what girl is not.

"Call me a whore one more time," I say, taking off my shoes. "Don't say it, man." I hear Kevion say something.

"WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING KEVION! RYKER! EASTON! QUINTON!" Nova yells. I can hear the worry in her voice. I have grown up with her but she has never seen me when someone called me out my name.

Kev shakes his head at her. "She can handle him, watch."

"I'm not scared of a little WHO-" I don't let him finish. I quickly kick him where the sun doesn't shine. He leans forward, I connect his face with my knee and he falls to the ground with a loud crack from his nose. I hop on top and him and start to punch him over and over again.

"KEV, GRAB HER!" I hear Nova yell. I start punching him harder until I feel someone wrap their arms around my waist and pull me off of him. I start swinging at who grabbed me. I turn around and see that it's Oliver.

"I leave you for less than an hour and you get into a fight Princess. What the fuck happened?" He says. Slowly letting me go.

"He called her a whore Oliver," Ryker says. The guy is on the ground holding his face. Oliver looks behind him and waves at two guys in a corner in all-black suits. They rush over.

"Get this scum out the club and make sure he is banished also." They nod their heads and grab the guy, dragging him towards the back room.

Oliver takes my hands in his. He sees them bloody and bruised. "I hate when you fight and mess up your pretty little hands' princess. Now let's go and clean them up." He bends down and picks up my heels and hands them to Aydin. "Take her to the back room and tell him Oliver sent us here and I will be there in second." He kisses my forehead and hands me to Ryker. I see Nova's eyes are still wide open and shocked.

"Are you okay? Key?" She asks. "I'm fine Nova. My hands just hurt a little." I said. "They should fucking hurt. You literally just pounded a guy's face in that is three times bigger than you!" I just chuckle and start to walk away. I look back and see Oliver talking to a guy. He was really tall, wearing a black suit but you can tell he has tattoos as they are amazingly imprinted deeply on his neck and hands. A beautifully tan complexion and dark black hair. He was staring right at me with those shiny dark and dangerous eyes. It was like he was looking deep into my soul. It made me hypnotize and I feel my body wanting to walk towards him. He stops looking at me and looks at Oliver, whispers something, and then nods his head. He walks towards some stairs, leaving Oliver standing there with his hands in his pockets.

Who was that mysterious man? Why did he look dangerous? Is Oliver in trouble? Did I just get him fired? Is he going to be okay? But who is that man?

These questions kept popping in my head when we walked towards the back of the kitchen. Aydin knocks and a pretty older Latina lady in her mid-40s with grey-white hair opens the doors.

"Can I help you, sweetie?" She asks in the softest voice.

"Hello, I'm Kevion and my brother Oliver asked me to bring my sister back here because she kind of got in a fight out there and he wants to wrap her hands up. He said he will be here in a moment?"

"Oh, are you Oliver's sister! He talks about you all the time!" She says excitedly. "I'm Mrs. Gomez. Now come come so I can fix you right up?" He reaches over and takes me from my brother, leading me to a little office. She sits me in a little brown chair and walks to a cabinet behind me and pulls out the first aid kit.

She drags a chair in front of me and sits on it. She puts the first aid kit on the table and opens it. "Okay sweetie, let me see those hands." I nod and lift my hands. She gasps loudly. "Oh my dear, it must have been a big fight. I hope that girl isn't too badly hurt." I laugh. "He looks worse than my hands." She looks up at me with a confused look "He?". I just nod my head and she just stares at me and says, "Impressive."

She turned and grabbed some cotton balls with antibacterial rubbing alcohol and pours some on the cotton ball. She puts it down and lifts up my left hand and slowly dabs it on my knuckles. I slowly wince with the burning. "I'm sorry dear." I just shake my head, "It is okay." She finished and put some Neosporin on it and wraps it up with white gauze. She repeats it with my right. As soon as she was about to wrap my hand, we hear a knock on the door. We quickly turn our heads and see Oliver standing here.

"How's the hand sis?" He asks.

"It's fine Oli." I smile at him.

"Hey Mrs. Leslie, thank you for taking care of my sister for me. I had to talk and explain to boss." He says.

"It's no problem, Oliver. I'm just so excited to finally meet this Princess you have always talked about." She smiles at me and goes back to wrapping my hands.

I look up at Oliver and give him a sad look. "What's wrong, Princess?" I take a deep breath. "Did I get you fired, Oli?" He just looks at me for a second, not saying anything. It's scared me. I just got him fired.

"OMG! I got you fired! Come on, let's go talk to your boss and I'll explain everything so he can rehire-" I start to say before he cuts me off.

"Princess, I didn't get fired. He was pretty impressed with how you fought a guy that was three times your size. I just smile at him and said that I taught you well." He said then laughs. Letting go a breath I didn't even know that I was holding in.

"Phew. I'm sorry again. Can you tell your boss I'm sorry and it won't happen again?" He just nods his head and laughs.

"Don't worry about it. Mr. De Luca might look mean but he is a softie." Mrs. Gomez says and I just smile at her. "Well all done. You won't need any stitches, which is great. Just add some more Neosporin in a couple of hours and rewrap it and it should be all right by then, my dear."

"Thanks, Mrs. Gomez," I say. She puts her hands up and says "Call me Leslie dear. Since we will be seeing a lot of each other." When she said that Oliver coughs. "Everyone is sitting back at our table. Go out there and I'll be there in a second. I just want to talk to Mrs. Leslie, then we can go home. Okay, Princess?" He says and kisses my forehead. I turn towards Leslie again. "Thank you so much for helping me, Leslie." I hug her and walk off. He smiles at me and closes the door, but not all the way. I decide I'm going to listen to what they talk about. It might be about me.

"She doesn't know does she?" Mrs. Leslie asks. I hear Oliver sign deeply "No she doesn't and I don't want her to know. Her and any of my family. I don't want to put them in danger." She signs "I understand that but if her and your cousin going to be here for three years, they will eventually find out Oliver. You can't keep this a secret for that long." I hear shuffling "I know, I just want to protect her Leslie. I don't want anything to happen to her. She means the world to me. We have been through a lot together and I don't want her in danger because of my job." She signs, "She is going to find out sooner or later. Wouldn't you rather it be sooner?"

"Yeah, I'll tell her and my cousin once my brothers leave. I won't be able to tell them all of it because it's dangerous." He says and I stood there for a second before walking off quickly and heading to the table.
