"Are you going to ignore me for the whole night?" He asks, breaking the silence.

I respond to him by keeping our silence.

"Sorry that I did what you wanted me to do."

Frustrated, I slam my purse down on top of the chair separating us. "Is it so hard for you to keep your dick in your pants?" I ask, glaring at him.

"Only when I'm with you." He sighs with a playful grin. I really want to slap that stupid grin off his face.

"Do you have some type of mental problem I'm not aware of?"

He keeps quiet only for me to realize what I'd just said. "I'm sorry, Mr Varallo, I didn't mean-."

He shuts me up by looking deep into my eyes. They looked blank and as cold as ever. I should really stop being mad at him since I did kiss him back. Maybe Aurora was right about me liking him, but it wasn't fair on Francesco.

"Capo, we're here." The driver says to destroy the silence. He gets out of the car leaving me in here by myself. I don't know exactly what I was waiting for but he opened the door for me.

He might be an asshole but he is still a gentleman of some sorts.

I climb out of the car with his help and admire how beautiful the building looked in the night. I notice some of the guests walking in and realized how out of place I already looked. I was going to look like the tail of the letter Q with my simple red dress.

We walk into the place and see the room is already packed. I guess we're the only ones affected by traffic. Mr Varallo goes over and greets a few guests while I'm left all alone. It's not like I could actually socialize with anyone. I wasn't one of these people.

"May I please ask," A lady says making her way towards me with two others. Her dress was long and her blonde hair neatly tied in a perfect bun. She screams expensive. "Where did you buy your dress?" The two girls behind her laugh leaving me to roll my eyes.

"She bought it at none of your business. You can try shopping there." Someone says from behind me. I turn around and see a strawberry blonde with the smoothest face I've ever seen. "Move along, no fucks are being served here."

I smile at her to show my gratefulness. "Sorry about those three. They're really not that bad when you know them less." She says leaving me to laugh.

"It's fine. You have amazing skin." I state.

She smiles. "Not really. Under this foundation is a shit ton of freckles." She confesses.

"So, how did you get invited to this party?" I wonder.

"Party? This place is so boring." She was so feisty and lively. I wouldn't mind ditching this place with her. "I came here with my fiancé." She informs, pointing over to him.

"Congratulations." I smile admiring her ring. I look at the direction she's pointing at and notice a tall man with jet black hair talking to Luca. He looks so familiar to Francesco.

Surprisingly, he turns around almost like he senses my stares and I lock eyes with Francesco's grey orbs. He freezes and turns away from me almost instantly and walks further away from me.

I didn't know how to feel. I know I should be upset right now but I was angry. Not only angry that he lied to me, I was angry that he was the reason I completely shrugged off any feelings towards Vincenzo.

I look back at the girl and couldn't help but feel bad for her. "Hey, do you-."

"Arabella!" Someone says causing my head to snap towards the direction of the voice.

Mr Varallo was right behind me next to Luca. I notice the girls eyes widen. "You need to leave. Luca will take you to the car, I'll meet you back home." He instructs.

"Why?" I ask, suspiciously.

"Don't ask me why just go." He speaks growing inpatient.

Taken aback from his orders I sigh in defeat. "Sorry, about this," I trail, addressing the girl next to me.

"No problem. I'm Casey." She smiles holding out a small strip of paper with a number on it. "Call me when your," She pauses and looks at the two boys behind me. "um, never mind. Bye." She waves leaving me.

*-*-*

Kinda hate Arabella for being mean to Vincenzo.

WARNING,, I wasn't trying to offend anyone with Arabella's comment. I just wanted a reason for him to be mad at her. She is annoying, lol.
