The lost mafia princess

Ch37

NADIA:
It's been a few weeks since I was taken, and luckily I've been back to school for about three weeks, me and my friends have gotten closer and me and Matteo have gotten closer as well.

I was walking to English with Sofia and she wouldn't stop teasing me about Matteo. "Oh come on Nadia it's so obvious you both like each other" Sofia teased, I put my head down and shook my head, hoping Sofia wouldn't see my blush covering my cheeks.

But of course, she did. "Ooo you're blushing, so it's obviously like each other" she teased me again, when we got into English, we both sat down, had a seat and she wouldn't stop teasing me about me, liking Matteo.

It's the first time in a while that I would like to someone, and I don't know if I actually like him, or if I just like him as a friend. I don't wanna hurt his feelings if he does like me, but I don't feel the same way. It's been a few years since I like someone, so I don't know what it feels like.

Time skip:
After our fourth class, me and Sofia went to the cafeteria to meet everyone, yeah, I got food and then sat down at the table where everyone else was, I said down beside Mateo, and he smiled at me before turning back to Carter, and continuing the conversation.

I didn't realise, but I do have a crush on Matteo, when he smiled at me, I felt butterflies in my stomach, and he looked really cute, I'm not telling Sofia because I don't want her blabbing her mouth and everyone in the friend group knowing.

I kinda wanna keep it on the down low because I don't know if Matteo does like me, but I'm kind of hoping he does, when lunch is over, we were heading back to her classes before Eli and Nico stopped me.

"You looked very happy, talking to the boy with brown hair that was sitting beside you" Eli teased, before I could say anything, my cheeks started going red and Eli and Nico both started smirking. Today was just not my day.

Before they could tease me anymore, I quickly ran off and bumped into Matteo at his locker. Just great. "Hey Nadia, you okay, you seem a little flustered" he asked, with a small confused look on his face. "Uh yeah, just Eli teasing me about something" I said quickly trying to brush it off.

"Eli is your brother right? And Nico is his twin?" Matteo asked with a small frown on his face. He sounded jealous. I smiled at him and nodded my head. "Yeah they're my brothers, it's a long story that we don't really have time for now" I explained with a small laugh. I don't think I'd be able to tell my life story within five minutes or less.

Matteo looked around and saw the halls were still crowded, before returning back to me, and closing his locker. "Well, if you're free, maybe Thursday after school I could take you to the ice cream place I know and maybe we could talk about your life story over ice cream, maybe?" he asked, with a small blush forming on his cheeks.

He is adorable. I nodded my head quickly before answering with a small 'yes' not knowing what else to say, after getting my response, Matteo smiled widely and put his hands on my shoulders. "Ok Great I am so excited. I promise you won't forget saying yes" he rushed out quickly before running down the hall and grabbing Carter's and Max's arms and running off again.

I laughed at how cute Matteo looked, before getting spun around and being met with a very smiley Sofia. "Uh did I just hear that correctly? You're going on a date with Matteo" she exclaimed, I quickly shook my head and told her "We're just going for ice cream and talking about my life story, and he said he wants to get to know me more. That's all" I tried to explain.

But before Sofia could even say anything, Nico and Eli were behind us and heard everything we said, this really isn't my day. Well, except for getting a date with Matteo. Other than that it's really not my day.

They didn't say anything, they just both smirked at me and walked off, oh, I can't wait till I go home and get my ass beaten by all of my older brothers.

Time skip:
School ended quickly after Matteo asked me out. I walked over to the car that was parked outside the school and I saw Alexei driving. I'm in big trouble if Nico and Eli decide to tell everyone. 

I quickly got into the car and close the door, saying that the twins were both in the car with huge smirks on their faces. "So Nadia had an interesting day" Nico started, Eli cut in as well, and they told Alexei about my date.

"It's it's not a date where does going out for ice cream just to get to know each other more" I explained, but no one was listening. "That sounds like a date to me Tesoro" Alexei smirked, I didn't say anything after that and just stayed quiet on the ride home, knowing that sooner or later my entire family will know.
(Sweetheart)

Once we got home, dinner was already ready since Mom was home, so we all had dinner before starting our homework. "So how was school for everyone?" Dad asked, trying to start a conversation. Eli Nico and Alexei were all smart before telling our parents and the rest of the sidelines, my news.

There were a lot of mixed emotions, Mom was ecstatic, Dad was a bit weary but he trusted me, Antonio and Noah were very protective while Eli Nico and Alexei were all laughing.

I just really hope Thursday goes well.
((((((

So I got a comment saying that don't have the book too long, so I'm gonna end it at around 48-50 chapters, so it's going to be Nadia and Matteo start dating. Matteo meets Nadia's family and Nadia gets to meet her grandparents and her cousins and aunts and uncles so that's what I have planned for the remaining chapters, and then there is going to be an epilogue about 10 years later, or possibly more, so I hope that's okay and I hope you guys are enjoying the story and sorry if I've dragged it out too long. It's my first story and I just hope it's okay. 

Love you guys
