Suddenly, the baby boy coos and reaches out a hand to me. My heart melts.

"Oh he likes you, he doesnt trust very easy, just like his dada" she coos at him and i smile. I hold his soft little hand and he grins a toothless grin. Awwwww.

"He's so precious" i say and he babbles, as if understanding what im saying.

We continue talking some more and then my phone dings, its just instagram. I glance at the time at the same time as Alaia speaks,

"Oh my its 7 already" she says. Her baby boy, Grayson is on the floor crawling around happily. "Aria, you must stay for dinner" she says.

"Oh no, thats completely ok, i should get going anyway, ive been here long enough" i say but she shakes her head.

"Nope, Zia would not forgive me if I let you leave without eating, besides youre my bestfriend you have to have dinner." i giggle at her calling me that.

"We met 3 hours ago, im your best friend?" i ask humorously.

"Why? Is there someone else?" she gasps dramatically and i giggle.

"Nope wouldnt dream of it" i smile and we both walk to what i assume is where we'll eat.

Literally only took us 3 hours and not gonna lie, she's so easy to get along with, there is this ease between us, it feels like we've known eachother forever. I love it

As we walk in, i see a room, its white and has a big, very pretty table, its beautiful like the rest of their home. Two men are sat at the table, along with two women.

"Hii" Alaia says making everyone look up and smile.

"Ciao Principessa, and who is this" The man on the head chair asks looking at me, a welcoming smile on his face.

"Zio, this is Aria, she's my bestfriend" Alaia says making us both snicker. "She works at the bakery, with zia Tania" she adds. A very pretty brunette lady smiles at me, she's sitting next to a man, im assuming thats her husband.

"Come here dolcezza, sit" she says, gesturing to the chair next to her. I smile at how welcoming these people are, its strange, foreign.

I walk over and sit down shyly.

"Oh she's so cute, alot like you huh Alaia?" she says making Alaia smile. "Im Bianca, dear, Alaia's auntie" she says. "This is my husband Dante" she says and the nice looking man smiles at me.

"She does remind you of Alaia quiet a bit dont she" he comments and i blush making him laugh. "Vince, looks like we dont need to fight over whose Alaia's favourite, i can just be Aria's favourite, sì dolcezza?" he asks me in a fatherly tone that makes me sad but also so happy. I nod blushing more.

"Im Shaina, darling, this is Vincenzo, my husband" the woman across Mr. Dante says and and I nod smiling.

"Its nice to meet you all, you have a lovely home" i say and they smile. Gray coos as if protesting and i look at him.

"And the cutest grandson" i say and everyone laughs making gray laugh aswell.

Soon, 5 men walk in, one after the other, they are all in black suits, except one of them, he's in sweats. They're all intimidating.

"hi baby" One of them sighs as he kisses Alaia's temple. Thats Alessandro i think, Alaia's husband. He takes gray and starts playing with him, sitting next to her.

"Aless, this is Aria, my friend" Alaia says making him look at me. He smiles.

"Hello Aria, nice to meet you" he says. His voice is deep but not gruff, like the man on the phone.

"You too" i smile.

"Hey" i hear, i turn and see one of the guys smirking at me, he's seated one seat from mine.

"Hi" i say. Why is he smirking like that.

"Matt, leave the poor girl alone" Ms. Bianca says making the guys snicker and 'matt' pout. He mumbles an apology and i smile.

"Sorry Ari, he tries on everything that is alive" Alaia says playfully and i giggle.

"Not males that are alive, lets be clear here" he says and i giggle more. He's funny.

Dinner starts and its really delicious. I love pasta and garlic bread. Mmh.

"Where is Nick" Mr. Dante asks as everyone eats.

"His grumpy ass had some work, he said he might join dinner, depending on how much time it takes him" One of the guys says, mouthful of food.

"Angelo, no talking with food in your mouth" ms. Bianca says. I like this, having dinner, as a family. But its not my family, im just a guest.
