Mafia Princess and Her Overprotective Family

Chapter 5

Adriana's POV

Everyone is at the dinner table eating so I decided to break the silence

"Enzo I'm sorry for the way I behaved yesterday I let my anger get the best of me and I was really disrespectful." I then look at at everyone and continued my apology

"Also sorry everyone if I worried you I really didn't mean to be outside for so long." they all looked shocked.

I'm not actually sorry in the slightest. I just know how annoying these Italians will be if I don't pretend to feel bad.

Enzo spoke first

"It's okay Adriana I shouldn't have yelled at you and shut you down. I should've discussed it with you further"

Now I was really shocked Enzo didn't seem like the type of guy to apologize very often

"Also I called the school and told them your old schedule and they agreed to let you take AP courses and advance classes"

I was double shocked

"Are you deadass? Thanks!" they all stared at me like I had two heads except for the twins who were laughing their asses off "Adriana" dad warned I mutter sorry and kept eating.

While we were finishing up dinner Matteo got everyone's attention and winked at me, I had a bad feeling about this.

"So I was talking to AJ earlier and she told me how she was training to fight at a judo tournament in Pennsylvania, but was gonna quit since she's here now. Do you think she can keep training at a dojo in the area considering how hard she's worked to get to her current belt?" 

Everyone was looking at me, but Ace spoke first which was new but then again I've been here for what 24hrs

"Yeah no she's way to tiny to be fighting. She'll just get hurt it's best if she leave that hobby in NYC." the rest of the boys nodded in agreement even Alessio.

"Excuse me? I am more than capable of holding my own on the mat. I have been for years! So don-" and of course I was cut off by the asshole

(if you guessed Xander you were right)

"Listen you angry elf just because your teacher handed you your yellow belt doesn't mean you're ready to compete I'd rather not spend the night with you in the hospital." he said rolling his eyes.

I banged my fist on the table and yelled

"Listen here I worked hard for my belt it wasn't handed to me I had to fight guys twice my size to earn my Black belt. If I compete and beat three black belts back to back I'll earn my final Red-White. I've broken too many bones for you to just tell me to stop. So I suggest you zip it before you embarrass yourself more." I was breathing so heavy from yelling at him but I didn't care I got my point across.

"Xiomara let you fight boys even after your injuries" dad asked me.

"Please that crack whore never care about what I was doing" I wasn't even living with her when I got more serious with fighting

"I won't have you disrespecting my late wife." that ticked me off even more

"You're remarried and she's dead. Who cares?" I asked

"You can kiss judo goodbye until you learn to respect the dead." he stated as he got up and went upstairs.

What a fucking asshole! Now I'm stuck with only gymnastics.

I got up and went upstairs to change. I put on a black sports bra and spandex then tied my hair up. I made my way towards the back door when someone grabbed my arm

"Where are you going so late and dressed like that?" it was Ace I tried to yanked my arm out of his grip but failed miserably

"I'm going to the back to clear my head." he stared for a minute then nodded and let me go. As I was stretching I saw Ace come outside with a book and sat under a tree not to far from where I was. Once I finished stretching I started doing a couple flips and it's was going good. I went for a aerial cartwheel and ended up slipping on the grass and fell back.

Ace came running and pick me up asking me repeatedly if I was alright. I nodded and started laughing. He looked at me like I was weird so I told him

"It's nice to laugh at yourself." he chuckled and put me down. He walked back and started reading his book again. I followed and sat down next to him.

"Do you need something?" he asked

"No it's just you're really quiet and it's just us two so I wanted to get to know you." he hummed in response.

"So how are you liking California" I scrunched up my face

"It's way too fucking hot bro I don't know how you guys can bare this heat." he laughed

"It's not so bad once you get used to it" after that we were consumed by an unbearable silence.

"Soooo" I trailed of "Do you work or go to school?" he nodded

"I work at a tattoo shop and I'm a freshman in college."

"That's so cool I've always wanted a tattoo I'm gonna get a huge one when I turn 18!" he laughed hard and I stared at him confused

"If you think any of us are gonna let you get a tattoo you're crazy." I groaned

"I'll be 18 so as an adult I have sovereignty over my body." he rolled his eyes

"Wow it's cute how dumb you are. Even if you were 40 we would scrub off a tattoo." I frowned

"Fine you win I'll just have to keep it a secret." I shrugged and he laughed
