No one could have guessed what would happen when a sixteen year old Vincenzo goes to an auction with his father. No one could have guessed that his actions from that night would change his whole life path and the path of...
I sat in the library reading one of my books. I didn't know where Vince was. He kissed me goodbye after he got dressed and then disappeared. I thought that he'd stay with me all day considering what day it is.
"Ms. Bianchi?" I heard Stella say from the doorway.
"Yes?"
"Mr. Bianchi asked me to give this to you." She said holding out a box. She walked over and laid it in my lap.
"Thank you."
"Of course."
I waited until she left to open the box.
Inside was a gorgeous red glittery dress, a diamond necklace, and matching diamond earrings. On top of it all laid a folded piece of paper.
Tesoro, Don't ask questions, just get ready and put these on. Go out to the garden and just follow the trail. Ti amo. -Your Vincenzo
I quickly ran upstairs with the box in hand and jumped in the shower. I took my time and tried to think of what he could have planned but came up with nothing.
When I was finished getting ready my hair had loose curls, my makeup was utter perfection, and the dress fit like a second skin.

I walked down to the patio and I couldn't help but smile when I saw a trail of rose petals leading into the garden.
I followed the petals all the way through the garden until I reached the gazebo. It was decorated with red and white roses and white twinkling lights and it was so beautiful.
Tears came to my eyes when I looked and found Vince standing inside wearing a black tux and a red tie.
"What is all this?"
"You said that you didn't want anything big and flashy so I thought this would do." He said with a smirk. I then noticed the man standing behind him.
"This is Father Richards and he is deaf." Vince said as the man gave me a smile.
"This is our wedding?"
"I wanted it to be a surprise. If the dress had been white then it would've given it away. Besides, I have always said that red is your color." He winked.
I walked over and stood beside him.
"It's so beautiful. Why today? There's already a few things that are on this day. You want to add our anniversary to it?"
"I almost lost you when we lost Marco and Lacy and then there was the bomb. I wanna have my ring on your finger as soon as I can."
"Okay then."
"So you really wanna do this?" He asked grabbing my hands.
"I want nothing more."
"Then lets f*cking do this thing." He said before turning to Father Richards.
