LUCREZIA

after we got to the restourant we all sat down in a private room around a big table where there were lots of different dishes.

Roman and i had to sit down together since for some reason the twins didnt want to sit in chairs and this one isnt surprising that they dont want to sit seperately.

that's also what me and Alexander prefere and that's why me and him are sitting beside each other.

he handed me carbonara and i put it on my plate and before i started eating West told me "this must be uncomfortable mom. i'll go sit in another place. you wont change your place right?" i looked at confused "no baby. sit wherever you want " he nodded a proud smile on his face and at the same time that West got down from my lap Liam hopped down from Roman's lap.

i watched as they walked away "am i the only one thinking that they're trying to get us together?" i murmured and Roman followed my gaze "everything is expected from them. they're our children" i nodded and turned back to my plate "yeah. they're our flesh and blood"

i felt that Alexander was giving me a look and when i looked at him i gave him my own that said "i cant do anything about this anymore" he sighed and handed me a bottle of red wine.

i poured it in my glass and poured it to Roman without asking knowing that he likes red wine as well.

he nodded at me in thanks and i placed the bottle back on the table.

the table soon turned into a chattering mess. everyone was talking to everyone and no one was eating anymore.

"wanna go out for a walk?" Marcello suggested "44 people out on a walk?" Elijah asked "a walk is a walk. lets go!" Francesca got up from her seat and with a few grumbles everyone followed.

i didnt complain though. sitting wasnt my style.

we drove to a park where close by was an amusment park some went there some stayed in the park.

of course the twins decided to go to the amusment park so me and Roman had to follow.

"i want a cotton cendy" Liam said "sure. West do you want one too?" Roman answered and West shook his head "no i want popcorn. but maybe i'll take cotton candy after we leave"

we bought them what they wanted and then i asked "so what now?" West asked Liam as he ate his popcorn.

i looked down at their small frames as they spoke.

"can we go to grandpa?" two pairs of identical eyes looked at me "sure but which one?"

"Dante. he's over there" West pointer a finger and i saw Dante with his brothers laughing.

"yeah lets go"

Dante saw us aproaching and smiled. West and Liam ran to his side and they both lifted what they were holding in their hands

"popcorn?"

"cotton candy?"

they asked in union.

Dante shook his head "no. thank you" then they lifted it towards the other and they all declined.

"they wanted to be with you. can you keep them?" i explained to him and his eyes sparkled in happiness "no problem! you go and have fun" i smiler at him.

Roman placed his hand on my lower back and i shivered goosbumps forming on my entire body. the place he was touching felt like it was on fire. he leaned in close to my ear and i could feel his breath on my skin "we need to talk" he murmured to me and Dante exclamed "Roman! hand's off my daughter!" his hand fell from my back and he leaned back again.
