[/font][/i][/url] lauren followed gianni up the stairs. her eyes moved around his large estaite as she followed behind him. lauren would never get use to the size of his house. it was like her house back in l.a. times ninty. it was huge! she knew she probably hadn't even seen the entire house. it was that big. lauren's feet felt cold on the tiled hallway. it sent a shiver through her body. even though everyone else had their shoes on, lauren was use to taking hers off when she enterd gianni's home. or anyone's home for that patter. she hated wearing shoes inside.
they got to the dining room. everyone was quite. it was weird. they must have been talking about gianni and lauren and when they came in they all shut up. lauren felt all eyes on them as they walked into the room. lauren smiled at his family as they walked over to their seats. gianni, being the gentelmen he was, pulled out lauren's seat for her. she thanked him, and sat down. he sat next to her. gianni was stairing at something. lauren's eyes followed his and saw he was stairing at his cousine hector. the look he was giving him was an intense one. lauren smiled even wider at this weird game they seemed to be playing.
so has anyone yet to hear the news from hector? lauren instantly knew what he was talking about. he had told her that him and his wife were having a baby at the night club. lauren felt like raising her hand. she did know. but instead she looked around the table. no responses. she looked back at gianni as he spoke again. hmm,.. seems no one has. so hector tell me,.. why ahven't you told anyone about the new addition to the martenetti's that is on the way? lauren looked at hector to see what he would say. this was so funny.
lauren finally understood what gianni was doing. if hector told everyone about the baby, they would leave the two of them alone. mabye he was smarter than she gave him credit for. lauren sat back in her chair to watch the drama unfold.

a large grin emereged on gianni's face with hector's look. he wanted to bust out laughing right now. see hector and gianni were cousins, but acted more like best friends or brothers. both men had all sisters, so it was nice to have a male family member like they had one another. it had made things growing up so much nicer. the two as boys were the terrors of the male children. gianni being the brains, and hector being the brute force. none of the other boys ever stepped in theri paths, and it was much the same today.
gianni let a laugh escape as his aunt squealed. she was the funny one in the immediate family. she still acted like she was sixteen, which alwasy brought laughter. no one could ever say they witnessed a dull moment in this family. gianni took a drink from the wine the help had just poured and then piped up rather loudly speaking italian to his cousin. yes this would also be a new side for lauren to see, gianni being loud.
Cosa posso dire? che si era venuta
gianni laughed and took another sip from the wine, trying not to laugh as his aunt got up and smoothered hector. it was funny. after gianni set his glass down adn glanced to lauren seeing if she got what he had just done or not. by the look on her face. his gaze was broken by hector's questioning tone. "se fosse venuta? se fosse venuta? per ciò che il mio cugino?" giani shrugged his shoulders and laughed again at his cousin as his aunt acted like her typical self.
gianni looked back to lauren, realizing she had no idea as to what was being said. it was nothing bad, just joking amongest cousins. but he figured she'd have to be taught some amount of the language or she'd have a more difficult time with his family.
don't worry,.. nothing back. just some fun,.. i'll have to teach you a bit. or you'll always be lost
gianni softly smiled and took a nother drink from the wine. and his bleu green eyes darted back to his cousin who was going at it with his mother. ah, arguements even funnier to watch. gianni listened intently over the roar of laughter at the two, picking up what they were saying. gianni set the glass back down and looked to lauren and began to translate what they were saying in simple terms.
they're just going at it about names,.. arguements are quite entertaining in this family.
" what can i say? you had it coming" & "had it coming? had it coming? for what my cousin"

[/font][/i][/url] lauren looked around the table at gianni's family. Cosa posso dire? che si era venuta. lo's eyes shot back to gianni. her face turned form amused, to confused. she really wished at that moment that she could speak italian. she was probably the only one at the table who couldn't. it made her kind of feel left out. "se fosse venuta? se fosse venuta? per ciò che il mio cugino?" lauren watched the interaction between hector and what she assumed was his mother. what the women was doing brought a smile to lauren's face once more.
lauren looked beside her at gianni. he seemed to be entertained by the situation as well. he looked at her and lauren grinned. don't worry,.. nothing back. just some fun,.. i'll have to teach you a bit. or you'll always be lost. lauren bit her lip. i don't think i need to fully understand italian to know whats going on. she replied with a bit of a chuckel. it was true they were all so expressive in everyway, that she didn't need to know what they were saying.
they're just going at it about names,.. arguements are quite entertaining in this family. lauren laughed, and looked back at hector. he was being smutherd by his mother. it was all so funny to lauren. she looked back at gianni with a grin. lauren was so happy to be there with him. he had never introduced a girl to his family before. she felt, honerd to be the first. she looked at his hand that was resting on the table. she hesitated for a moment, then she lifted her hand and rested it ontop of his and locked their fingers togther.

lauren probably was right in that matter, he looked at how expressive his family was. lots of movements, adn loud. yes loud, that was the one word anyone could use to describe the martenetti family. but it was a way of life for them. they were always laughing, competeting to over speak one another. so loudness was something that always filled the air.
gianni looked down to his hand as he felt lauren take a hold of it. he softly smiled and brought her hand up and softly kissed it and then rested back against the table. as he did this he softly spoke to her in italian, and as he did he thought about using his final word more often with her. using it like apet name is how one would put it, but with the words meaning one couldn't really call it that.
sei così bella
he said this just to where lauren could hear him. the rest of the family was so caught up in everything else revolving hector. his plan had worked perfectly. gianni noticed his grandmother who sat to the opposing side of lauren talking with his grandfather softly. "egli è uno di questi signori, ... e lei è così bella se stessa."her soft eyes resting on him and lauren. his nonna and nonno would be the only people to not rush gianni and lauren, which was he cherished them so much. they never pushed him with anything.
gianni softly smiled as he read the old woman's lips. and nodded his head to her. not everything always ahd to be loud around here. some things were soft and simple those though moments were rare. gianni's attention shot back to hector as he heard him swiftly speaking trying to remove the attention from himself. "che dire di Gianni e la ragazza? perché non concentrarsi su di essi? non serve a sottolineare la mia moglie mentre lei con bambino!"
the blue green eyes shot hector a dirty look. he knew hector had known what he had been up to with bringing the prgnancy up, and now he had just ruined it.
"he is one of these gentlemen, ... and she is so beautiful herself" & "what about Gianni and the girl? why not focus on them? no need to stress my wife while she with child!"

[/font][/i][/url] lauren's eyes followed their hands as gianni lifted them to his lips. he gently kissed lauren's hand. she bit her lip as she watched this. the kiss sent a shiver up and down her spine. he rested their hands back down and moved closer to her for a moment to speak. sei così bella. lauren smiled to herslef as he spoke softly to her. she loved when he spoke italian to her. she found it so sexy. she gently slid her thumb over his hand. lauren looked up at gianni who was now looking at what she assumed to be his grandparents. they seemed very sweet. they were definitly the quietest of the bunch.
"che dire di Gianni e la ragazza? perché non concentrarsi su di essi? non serve a sottolineare la mia moglie mentre lei con bambino!" lauren raised one eyebrow as she looked at hector. he spoke loudly, of course. lauren looked at gianni. what did he say? she asked softly. she felt so naive, not knowing what was going on. it was kind of weird. she kind of felt like she was in a forign land where she didn't speak the languange. it was weird, but she knew she would get use to it.
lauren could tell by gianni's look that whatever hector had said was about the two of them. he was trying so hard to keep the focus off of them. lauren was enjoying not having to be in the not seat. she hoped gianni would say something that would turn the conversation off of them once more.
occ; short! sorry. i got distracted by the tele.

hector and gianni always did this nonsense. it was like small children trying to pass blame on the other for a wrong doing, he put up a finger to lauren noting to wait one second. gianni stood up breaking his hand from lauren's as he pointed at hector, things were about to get interesting.
tua moglie ha attraversato questo stress già hector! il motivo per cui lo stress e mettere pressione sul lauren? perché siete più anziani, .. Ecco cosa dice in programma a destra? welll noi siamo in casa mia in possesso e lo dico di discutere il suo bambino notizie di questa sera!
yes now that was a mouth full, and gianni had spoke it so swiftly the words seemed to all string together into one large mess of words really. and not even words, just one mess of a sound. gianni stood with his arms out waiting for a response from his couisn, the man was bronze while gianni was brains. so when gianni went off hector had probelms finding come backs most of the time. "n. I è stato non intendo dire che ... Stavo per dire, .. intendo dire, .. noi siamo i vostri ospiti! si dovrebbe trattare noi come ospiti!"
gianni gave hector a look as if he were crazy. well right now gianni thought that very much. guests, ha hector was over here so much he might as well have moved in. so hector was no longer a guest. gianni looked to his nonna nad nonno who weer speaking to themselves, and softly smiled and then returned the loud ranter back to hector.
non sei più un ospite qui, sei troppo attorno a essere considerato un ospite! uno Guet non vanno e vengono, come piace a lui in modo cugino! e lo dico nonna scegliere il nostro argomento per la cena di questa sera.
these sharp words got hector to sit down and shut up. gianni nodded and sat himself down. he looked to his grandmother and waited for her to speak. the old woman cleared her throat, and eveyone hushed. slow soft words escaped her mouth. it was obvious gianni had spent much time with this woman as he was growing up. he was quiet just like she was, and it was where he learned almost everything that he did. "si parla di tutti i bambini notizie, .. voglio parlare con il mio nipote e la sua bella società."
gianni smiled softly at his grandmother, she ahd saved the evening. everyone else went back to going off on hector while gianni's grandmothermoved her fraile body adn chair closer to lauren, she smiled softly and sweetly. she was really the one that gianni admired the most in the family. she was so good natured, soft, gentle and kind. while everyone else was loud and demanding.
sei cosi bella means " you are so beautiful" and gianni was thinking of calling lauren bella for now on instead. lindsay gave me the idea btw
your wife has gone through this stress already hector! why put stress and pressure on lauren? because you are older,.. that's what you planned on saying right? welll we are in my house hold and i say we discuss your baby news this evening!
no i was not going to say that... i was going to say,.. going to say,.. we are your guests! you should treat us like guests!
you are no longer a guest here,you are around too much to be considered a guest! a Guest does not come and go as he pleases so cousin! and I say grandmother choose our topic for dinner tonight
you all talk about the baby news,.. i want to speak with my grandson and his lovely company.

[/font][/i][/url] lauren suddenly felt the tension level rise in the room. gianni stood up with a stern angry look on his face. lauren was instantly confused once more as he began to yell at his cousin in italian. tua moglie ha attraversato questo stress già hector! il motivo per cui lo stress e mettere pressione sul lauren? perché siete più anziani, .. Ecco cosa dice in programma a destra? welll noi siamo in casa mia in possesso e lo dico di discutere il suo bambino notizie di questa sera! she looked around the table. everyone was watching intently. lo looked up at gianni. she felt responsible for all the yelling and anger.
"n. I è stato non intendo dire che ... Stavo per dire, .. intendo dire, .. noi siamo i vostri ospiti! si dovrebbe trattare noi come ospiti!" hector retaliated. lauren's face showed worry as she watched this. everything had turned so quickly. the evening had been hectic, yes, but pleasent. now the two men were screaming at eachother, and all lauren could do was sit there, confused. non sei più un ospite qui, sei troppo attorno a essere considerato un ospite! uno Guet non vanno e vengono, come piace a lui in modo cugino! e lo dico nonna scegliere il nostro argomento per la cena di questa sera.
lauren looked up at gianni. she hoped to catch his attention for a moment, to tell him to calm down. but, no luck. he was to into what he was doing to notice lauren's reaction. this was a side of gianni lauren had never seen before. he was ususally so calm and collected. but now he was yelling at his cousin. this was all so weird. lauren bit her lip as she looked around the table again.
"si parla di tutti i bambini notizie, .. voglio parlare con il mio nipote e la sua bella società." lauren turned her head to face gianni's grandmother. how did she get involved in all of this. after she spoke, everyone began to talk again. the women slid her chair closer to lauren. she smiled sweetly at the elderly women before looking back at gianni. what just happned? she asked softly with worried eyes.

this was all why gianni had offered for lauren to leave his home. he knew things would get out of hand. everything was always a competition with the maretenetti's. competeting to overspeak the other,.. word choice everything. anything and everything could be turned into a competition for the family.
gianni picked up his wine glass and took a drink, and as he set it down shook his head like nothing had happened. nothing was going on really, just the typical banter between the cousins. though this was all new to lauren, and gianni had to remember this. he took another drink from the wine glass then set it down and turned his body more angled to lauren's.
nothing really,.. hector was just questioning my authority. nothing more.
gianni took another drink from the wine and then softly smiled. he was surprisngly still drinking her first glass. but he had also not been as stressed as he had that evening at twenty four seven. that night was hell with the things that went so terribly wrong. but that evening also broguht good, and made things fall into place. "ah gianni mio nipote, di aver trovato una tale bella giovane donna. lei è raggiante, e raccolti. si occupa con la nostra famiglia molto bene."
gianni smiled softly at his nonna as she spoke fondly of lauren. she was the one that lauren should stay near, she'd keep the other women from attacking her with words of pressure. the elderly had the most respect in the family. it was how it always was, and no one ever questioned anything with them. like lauren had just seen, though she knew nothing as to what was being said.
gianni's grandmother spoke not one word of english, which would make things difficult. but gianni didn't mind translating for her. gianni respected his nonna more then anyone else in his life. and that is how he would always think too. the old frail woman spoke again before gianni got a chance to translate her first words. this time she spoke to lauren, grasping her young youthful hand in her own old delicate frail one. "non lasciare che questi pazzi donna arrivare a voi, essi vogliono meerly di avere tutto ciò che non ha. gianni che conoscono è un buon uomo, e vogliono solo il meglio per lui, ... e chi condivide con la sua vita"
gianni waited until his nonna finished her words. she was such a good natured woman. she meant no stress, nor any pressure in any of her words. gianni softly smiled, then went to paraphrasing what his grandmother had said so lauren could understand.
she says firstly fond words of you,.. that you are radiant and that you deal with all of this very well and that not to listen to my mother and aunts, they're all just crazy women. and want you to ahve better then what they did,...
giannis' grandmother let go of lauren's hand and softly smiled. then sat with her ahnds rested in her lap. it was amazing that someone so quite and calm could actually be related to all of these loud adn wild italians.
ah gianni my grandson, you have found such a beautiful young woman. she is radiant, and collected. she deals with our family very well.
do not let these crazy woman get to you, they meerly want you to have everything they did not. they know gianni is a good man, and just want the best for him,... and whoever he shares his life with.

[/font][/i][/url] lauren kept her eyes locked on gianni. nothing really,.. hector was just questioning my authority. nothing more. lo looked up quickly at hector. he was looking at them. lauren smiled at him before looking back at gianni. thats it? i thought a fight would break out or something. she said her eyes still filled with concern. even though it was over, her heart still raced. she was scrared that something would happen. hector was a big guy, and could easly snap gianni in half. lauren was frightned for him.
lauren turned to gianni's grandmother as she spoke to her grandson. "ah gianni mio nipote, di aver trovato una tale bella giovane donna. lei è raggiante, e raccolti. si occupa con la nostra famiglia molto bene." lauren's smile was warm as she looked at the fragile women. she felt a cold hand on top of hers. she looked down and saw the women's hand resting on hers. lauren looked back up at her, and grinned. "non lasciare che questi pazzi donna arrivare a voi, essi vogliono meerly di avere tutto ciò che non ha. gianni che conoscono è un buon uomo, e vogliono solo il meglio per lui, ... e chi condivide con la sua vita" lauren nodded at her, then looked back at gianni. she shrugged her shoulders, hoping he would translate for her.
she says firstly fond words of you,.. that you are radiant and that you deal with all of this very well and that not to listen to my mother and aunts, they're all just crazy women. and want you to ahve better then what they did,... lauren nodded as gianni spoke. she smiled when he finished and looked back at his grandmother. the women had a smile on her face that could light up the room. lauren returned the same smile at her. thank you, very much. dispite the yelling, you have a lovely family. she said. it was true. they were nice, dispite the crazyness.

gianni was beyond freaked out when lauren had first shown up, but now,.. he did really get that it didn't bother her. she handled this all so well. gianni being loud, and rather aggressive with his cousin. all things one ahd not witnessed from the seemingly shy and reserved young man. see everyone thought this of him because no one ever saw him with his family. he was one of the quieter ones, thoguh annalisa had him by far beat.
gianni spoke to his grandmother to re gain her attention, and her eyes rested softly on him as he translated back what lauren had said inreturn to her kind words.
ah nonna dice in cambio la ringrazio, molto. nonostante le grida, avete una bella famiglia
the old woman softly smiled and placed a frail hand on lauren's cheek and managed to get a few english words out. she did know a few words, but with her old age it was easier to just speak what she knew best. her english was very rough, and one ahd to pay close attention to understand her well enough. "you are lovely woman, very lovely. and have nice manners..."
the woman pasued and looked to gianni to make sure she was doing okay with her english. his eyes rested softly upon her and he gestured for her to keep going. it was rare to hear the woman speak english. gianni had only one time before this heard her use english words, and it was when he was a very small boy. "i pray best for you. and no let the crazy women get to you dear, they just old italian women. mean no harm"
giannismiled softly as his grandmother went back to speaking slowly to her husband, his grandfather. lauren must have made a good impression on his nonna for her to speak english to her, it utterly surprsied gianni in all honesty. the help began to bring out the food, starting with salads and breads, and then slowly bringing out sea foods. it was what celeste had requested to have for her first night in gianni's home, so what she wished for she had gotten.
you know i've only ever heard her use english once before in my life, and it was two words if i recall correctly. i couldn't tell you what she had said though, i was only about four or five the last time.
gianni finished the wine in his glass, adn it was quickly refilled. the rest of his family was on a fourth or fifth glass. though no one could really tell, theu didn't act any differently.

[/font][/i][/url] ah nonna dice in cambio la ringrazio, molto. nonostante le grida, avete una bella famiglia. it was weird how everything sounded more beautiful in italian. espically when it was comming from gianni's mouth. lauren watched for a reaction from his grandmother. "you are lovely woman, very lovely. and have nice manners..." lauren's grin grew as the women rested her cold hand apon lauren's cheek. she was such a sweet women. thank you. she replied softly. the women took her hand back.
"i pray best for you. and no let the crazy women get to you dear, they just old italian women. mean no harm" lauren nodded in response as the women turned back to her husband. lauren turned herself to face gianni again. her smile was still on her face. gianni seemed to be pleased with how the conversation had gone. lauren was too. she's a very lovely women. she reminds me of my grannie. both are very, soft spoken. she said with a nod. lauren took a sip of her wine and rested it back on the table.
you know i've only ever heard her use english once before in my life, and it was two words if i recall correctly. i couldn't tell you what she had said though, i was only about four or five the last time. lo was a little taken back. wow. i'm honerd. she said with no sence of sarcasim in her voice. she was honerd. the women hadn't spoken english in all that time, and she just spoke in clear english to lauren. the thought of it brought a smile to her face. this was turning out to be a fun night.

gianni now realized he had had nothing to worry about. but he was just so paranoid lately with his cousin, and not hector. the one who committed treason against the family. that ordeal was the only thing left settiling heavily on gianni's heart and thoughts. soon that would all be over though, and gianni could focus on the more important things in his life.
she's very humble, don't be too honored
this was true, gianni's nonna was one of the most humble people anyone could meet. it was obvious gianni hadn't learned his ways from his parents a whole lot. but if one were to spend the day with his nonna, it would be obvious he he grew up around the most. he was taught to humble just like she was. and never to take the high amount of respect for granted. but to shower it onto someone else.
after dinner finished the family was up and loud, heading back to the basement floor of the home. gianni pulled lauren's chair out and waited for her to get up from her seat before sliding back under the table. they may have headed the same way as gianni's family, but they did not end up in the party room. gianni turne down a long hall that sat not to far off from the basement door.
at the end of this hall one could see a large room, with alrge windows letting in large amounts of the slowly setting sun. gianni opened a door that rested in these window panes, and waited for lauren to walk outside adn then followed.
nothing about gianni's home he had done. none of the interior decorating, he hadn't even had a say in about his room. but he was fine with that. nor had he really had much say in about the back yard. he had only requested a large garden with pathways for admiring the beauty of the gardener's work.
they're all getting drunk,... its becoming more obvious that they have alcohol in their systems... and this is a lot nicer in my opinion. but if you'd rather go back in,...

[/font][/i][/url] lauren chuckled softly as she picked up her wine and took a long sip. everyone else was getting drunk, but she needed to stay sober. if she was going to impress gianni's family, she would have to be on her best behavior. that ment drinking as little as humanly possible. when she was drunk, it wasn't pretty. she always lost all her manners, and usually ended up singing loudly on a table. at least, thats what had happned the last time she was drunk. it wasn't a pretty sight, at all.
she's very humble, don't be too honored, half of lauren's mouth curled into a half smile as she looked at gianni. she began to eat the food on her plate. everything was delicious. better than any five star resturant in new york, or l.a. she chewed slowly and enjoyed everymoment of the meal. she was the only one doing that, however. everyone else was scarfing down their food like it was going to be taken away from them. as the family finished their meal, lauren was mearly begining. but, she wasn't that hungry, so when everyone else got up, she followed. gianni, being the gentalmen he was, pulled out lo's chair for her. she thanked him kindly as she got up.
lauren followed the crowd into the basement. it took a while to get down there with all the people. everyone headed into the games room once more. lauren was about to follow, when she saw gianni continue down the hallway. lauren looked at him, confused as she had been for the most of the evening. she shrugged, and slowly followed him. they walked until they reached a room filled with windows. it was lauren's favourite room in gianni's house. it was so peaceful. the sun was setting as the two enterd the room. lauren's lips turned into a grin as they walked in further. they're all getting drunk,... its becoming more obvious that they have alcohol in their systems... and this is a lot nicer in my opinion. but if you'd rather go back in,... lauren quickly shook her head as she took a seat on the couch facing the windows. i think i could use a bit of a break. she said with a small laugh. it was a little overwhelming to be with his family. they were loud, and crazy. but lo liked them.
lauren patted the spot beside her on the couch for gianni to sit with her. they had become really close, and she felt even closer to him now that she had met his family. it was like they had this new bond, in a way. now all that was left was for him to meet her family. that would be interesting.

whe gianni's mother noticed that her son and lauren were not coming back down stairs she tried to follow them, but was stopped by gianni's grandparents. she put up a fight about going, but lost. yes gianni's mother was ill and weak, but she was no different. she was still a spitfire, and as hard headed as ever. if not worse now.
gianni was very pleased with how the evening had went, and was glad that they wouldn't have to argue with everyone at school anymore with where they stood. it was a nice thing to think about, his feelings were really strong for lauren. and it kinda hurt to not be able to say they were more then friends with a mutual liking of the other. but now he didn't have to do that anymore, and it gave him one less stress.
getting away from his crazy family was nice. he loved them dealy, but everyone needed a break. just escaping to a large open room was relaxing. gianni only went into about six or seven of the rooms in his home. the others he really hadn't even seen before. that was somewhat a scary thought. but it didn't really bother him too much.
gianni sat himself down on the couch next to lauren, his blue green eyes danced over the view of the large back yard. the pool, and the gardens. to the kennel with annalisa's dogs, and now celeste's dogs too. gianni liked dogs, he himself just didn't have one. he didn't have to the time too really though. annalisa had told him she would have no probelm taking care of it, but that deafeted the purpose of having one's own dog.
gianni looked to lauren, he softly smiled. he had been wanting to kiss her all evening. thoguh it was a lot longer then that in reality. they were together now,.. and they were away from the loudness and craziness. gianni looked back out to the gardens, and then broguht his eyes slowly back to lauren. he was normally one to just act, but wanted his timing to be perfect. yes he was a romatic, even if he ahd never had a stable relationship before, he was still a romantic none the less.
the room was glowing orange with the setting sun, and the blue green eyes had danced backand fourth from the ouside beauty to lauren's own radiance a few times now. and gianni thought now to just kiss her,... and that was what he did. it was a light and delicate kiss,... just sweet and innocent. but it was still a kiss none the less.
gianni kept his face close to lauern's when he pulled back. not even an inch away from her. his lips hovered above hers as he spoke.
you know you've handled everything that's been thrown at you a lot better then i thought you wouldl,.. my family and world is a lot to take in.
with how sweet and caring gianni was it was really difficult to believe he could be caught up in something so opposite of all of that. but it was the truth, and one had to accept the truth.

[/font][/i][/url] lauren kept her eyes fixated on the beautiful scene infront of her. it was like pure magic. the way the sun was setting over gianni's garden, made lauren think of home. she longled for the sunsets over the perfect blue ocean. but, in a way, this was much better. in new york, she didn't have the stress of raising her siblings, she could have her own life for once. it gave her a sence of peace of mind knowing that she was finally able to navagate her own future.
lauren's parents always wanted her to be something more. something more than she was. lo knew what she was ment to do with her life. they never seemed to accept that. they wanted her to be a lawyer, or a doctor. but lauren hated the idea of both things, and blood made her faint. lauren returned her focus to the night that she had just had. gianni's family, although they were loud and crazy, they were also welcoming and kind.
lo looked over at gianni who was at that moment looking at her as well. there eyes met for a moment, but then he looked back outside. lauren followed his gaze to the windows. she sighed with a smile as she leaned back on the couch. the sun was now completly hidded behind the trees that surrounded the back of gianni's house. it was so beautiful, lauren couldn't seem to look away. she could feel gianni's eyes on her. she turned to look at him.
then, he kissed her. a soft, romantic kiss. the feeling of there lips togther made lauren shiver. she smiled as he gently pulled away. he spoke to her only an inch from her face. their lips brushing every so often. you know you've handled everything that's been thrown at you a lot better then i thought you wouldl,.. my family and world is a lot to take in. lauren bit her lip gently as she looked into gianni's eyes. it seems you've underestimated me. lo replied as she rested her hand gently on the back of his neck.
