We have been staying at Mateos family house for around three weeks now. Mateo has been away in business for a week now, it has been one of the hardest weeks of my life. Especially after the whole house trashed situation.

We slip into my heels and check myself out in the mirror. Today is my birthday. I know I've never been one for birthday yet I felt like I should make an effort as the entire family went to the lengths of figuring out my birthday as well as planning a family meal at one of the close relatives restaurants.

My dress is made forms. Sheer fabric yet scrunched causing it to not be see through. The material fists at the top and boots covering all areas it should. My arms remain bare as well as the majority of my legs yet the dress hold a a certain elegance.

"Gianna you ready baby" his voice echos tough the room and i quickly spin on my heels to see him leaning against the door way. I gasp running towards him, he lifts me off the ground and spins me around.

"I missed you" I say kissing his lips several time as he flicks the light off behind me then carrying me through the halls towards the stairs.

"I missed you too but I'm back just in time for my girls 19th birthday." He kisses my cheek placing me in the floor.

My heels click against the marble grabbing everyone's attention as we enter the entrance. Everyone is dressed smartly and i oddly feel happy. This day has always marked a tragedy yet right now all I can think of is celebrating it with everyone I love most.

"There's the birthday girl." Gio says lifting me from the stairs and spins me around.

"Happy birthday Gia" Elio and the rest of the guys say as we make our way out the house as Mateo wraps his arms around my waist.

I lean closer to him as we walk out toward the car waiting at the bottom of the steps.

"I'll have the pesto pasta please" I smile and he returned the gesture before moving to take someone else's order. Play with the material if my dress and the ring in my finger which I share with Mateo.

"I've never celebrated my birthday before" i frown and they all just smile.

"It just makes this one that little but more special" Mat smile and i nod my head, I kiss his cheek and then to look at him.

"I love you" the words drink form my lips as well as the emotion coating then and I shiver as his hands slide down my thigh cussing goosebumps right follow.

"This is strange for birthdays we normally get absolutely smashed. We're having a meal" Enzo adds across from Mat and i laugh.

"Yeah why aren't you drinking" Alessia asks as if it was a sin. I shrug my shoulders yet the uncertain feeling grows in my stomach warning me to to.
