After the bath, I dried off and changed, heading downstairs slowly. I didn't want to meet his family yet. It was too soon, to weird. Everything is happening so fast. I was nervous and shy. I didn't want to embarrass myself further. Allessandro was kinda pushing me towards his family. "Why are you so slow?" He asked, narrowing his eyes at me. "I don't wanna..." I mumbled now trying to turn back around. Allessandro sighed, grabbing me by the waist. Before I know it I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and found his brother on the stairs behind me. My eyes widened as I jumped to the side. "I am so sorry." I instantly apologized for being in his way. His brother sighed as he looked at Allessandro. "Dad's gonna get his butt whooped." Allessandro's brother said, looking back at me. "What do you mean?" I asked. "This is for you." Allessandro's brother holds out a small bowl. Inside there's warm soup. I don't know what kind it is but it looks delicious. My mouth started to water from the smell, only, I ate just an hour ago... I don't know if I could eat this too. "You don't want it?" His face held sorrow and disappointment. "She just ate..." Allessandro explained. "Oh... Well, why didn't you say so!?" He smiled. He started walking downstairs but stopped at the edge of the bottom. "Don't be embarrassed okay? See you down there!" He smiled at me and walked back into the kitchen. I didn't know what to say, it's like he could read my mind. How did he know I was embarrassed? "You're easy to read." Allessandro read my mind too! I facepalmed and just hid my face. I was so done with today, I just wanted to have a normal day! Allessandro picked me up causing me to yelp and start to struggle. I didn't want to be carried, that's just more embarrassing. "It's alright, just take a deep breath." Allessandro smiled. He walked downstairs slowly, giving me a little more time. I appreciated the gesture. I just didn't want to face anything right now. I grow shy in front of too many people and this is diffident to many with the whole crush thing that happened this morning. I'm already embarrassed, why does life have to embarrass me more? We finally reach the bottom of the stairs and I just cling to Allessandro. Someone, please kill me... I can hear his mother lecturing his father. "Alright, you two that's enough," Allessandro said. "Ah, there she is." His mother instantly switched moods. "My name is Cally, and this here is my husband Derek." Cally sent Derek a glare. "I'm Ashton." Allessandro's brother smiles and waves from the kitchen. "It's nice to meet you...." I mumbled quietly. "Oh.. My boy is all grown up," Cally whined. Allessandro sighed and it put a smile on my face. Oh, so she's that kind of mom, it's payback time. I smirk and Allessandro seemed to notice. If I'm getting embarrassed I'm taking you down with me. "Mom I own a company," Allessandro grumbled. "Yes yes, I know. But a boy don't grow up until he gets a real good female like this one right here." Cally smiled at me. "Awe.... thanks." I smile as a small blush comes to my cheeks at the compliment. "Can you believe this darling?" She asks Derek. "He's grown up since he left the house a long time ago Cally." Derek sighed. I giggled. "Allessandro put her down she can stand on her own." Cally scolded him. Allessandro rolled his eyes before setting me down. I smiled as I was finally able to get back on my feet. I am going to have so much fun with this. "So does he have girls often?" I asked. "Sadly no... all the girls he puts through tests are all gold diggers sadly. But since your still here, I'm assuming you passed." Cally frowned. "Wait... what test?" I asked. "Once I find out about female's feelings I bring them on a date and try to buy them expensive things. Usually, they are too blind or they go along with it." Allessandro explained. Oh... "So that's what that was all about..." I mumbled to myself. "Yes," Allessandro stated. "That makes sense." I nodded. "Are there any other tests?" I asked. "Well of course. Some gold diggers can pass the first one. You still have several to come." Allessandro smiled. "What are they?" I asked. "That would defeat the purpose of the tests," Allessandro smirked. I gave him a confusing look but shrugged it off. "I should show you all his baby pictures!! OOooo!!! I'll be right back!" Cally giggled and ran off. "MOM!!!" Allessandro yelled, but Cally didn't respond. "On the bright side, she doesn't dress like a slut." I hear Derek say. "EXCUSE ME!?" I asked astonished. "Just pointing out facts." He shrugged. "Trust me, she's not. She gets nervous with just the thought of a french kiss." My face goes red and the embarrassment only continues. I will get you back for that. "So that's another test you can cross off," Derek said. "Oh my god..." I mumbled "Allessandro!! Where's the book!!" Cally yelled from the closet. "I'm not telling you!!" Allessandro yelled. "Nope! I think its time for payback." I smirk. "I'll help!!" I yelled to Cally before skipping in her direction. "Oh no, you don't." Allessandro wrapped his arms around me. "It's only fair!!" I whined trying to get free. "Allessandro let her go! She needs to help me!" Cally called. Seems like his mother and I will get along well. "My house! My rules!" Allessandro yelled back. "Fine, be that way." His mother pouted.
(Sorry, it's shorter, I have a good idea for the next chapter. Bye-bye. :P)
