ALAIA  POV

I wake up to my head pounding. What? When did I come home. I sit up with a whine and look around. On my nightstand, I see two pills and some water, and a piece of paper with a big pink swirly lollipop on top of it. I grin widely and reach for the note.

'take these and eat something, the headache will go away
-Aless'

I look at it confused. How did he know?
Suddenly memories from last night started flashing in my head. Oh my god I had alcohol! Aless likes me? There are super big slushy cups in italy?! Thats alot of information.
I groan and eat the pills and open my nightstand drawer to grab a power bar. Painkillers dont work on an empty stomach. I lay there for a little waiting the headache out and think about last night. Did Aless hint at asking me out?

I shake my head and get up to take a shower. I feel icky.

When i get done i go to pick out an outfit. It looks like a pretty day, ill wear a dress.

Once im satisfied i go downstairs to eat

Once im satisfied i go downstairs to eat. Im hungry. When i go towards the kitchen, its unusually quite. I ask a kitchen maid where everyone is and she says they had to leave for work. Ill be all bored now.

Im in the garden out back. I spent all day out here, reading. I really enjoy reading it was just hard to find time during school. As Im reading, i hear someone clear their throat, and i look up.

"Oh hii" I say looking up at Aless's tall frame.

He smirks; "hi baby, i like your dress, what did you do today" he asks sitting down beside me. Now that i know he likes me the pet names make me blush.

"I sat out here all day and read, what time is it?" I ask him.

"5" he says looking at me.

"ohh, ive been reading for five hours straight!" I let out a giggle.

"You didnt eat?" he asks me.

"i had breakfast" i tell him.

" bambina, you need to eat more, youre tiny, come" he says standing up and holding out his hand.

"Im not tiny, youre just big" I say huffing.

"mhm lets go" he says.

When we step in the kitchen i see all the boys eating something.

"Donutssssss" I shout running to grab one.

"You have too much energy" Nick says, but i cant pay attention. My love is waiting. I bite into the donut walking towards Aless. He smiles and reaches out to wipe off some custard at the corner of my lips and licks his finger. I smile at him and continue eating.

"Ah tesoro io e zio abbiamo qualcosa di cui parlare"  I hear papa say from the entrance I mumble an okay and walk behind him.
(Ah sweetheart me and Zio have something to talk about).
