CHAPTER 2

LIVIYA AMORA HERNANDEZ

I felt someone was playing with my hair. I groaned a little and hugged the hand. It would probably be Al's hand. He is the one who likes to wake me up like that. He placed a soft kiss on my forehead making me smile a little.

I opened my eyelids slowly just to be greeted with a greek god's face. It would mean only one thing. Blinking rapidly at his face with total blurriness made him chuckle a little. I woke up immediately and leaned on the headboard.

"Morning mia amore." he greeted with his devilish smirk. Making me flutter more.

"M-morning" cleared my throat a little.

"How are you, here? Why didn't anyone tell me about it? Did you come alone? Am I still dreaming or?" I shoot him with all the questions. Imagine waking up to see a person you almost haven't seen for 3 years. Of course, I would be confused. He just smirked at my questions. Gosh, that smirk of his always did something inside me.

"Slow down, mia amore." That nickname always made me blush like now.

"First of all, you are not dreaming. We just reached Spain at 6 o'clock. I asked your brother to keep quiet about it. No, I didn't come alone. Lucas and Adriano are still sleeping. Your brother asked us to stay here for 1 week before going to our mansion. I forgot to inform him earlier to ask someone to clean the mansion up." He answered all of my questions.

I saw my digital clock on my table and it was 8 o'clock. I usually wake up at 10 o'clock on Sundays. It's the only day I can rest so why waste it.

"Get up, mia amore. Freshen up. I'll wait for you outside your room. I'm going to wake up those shitheads first." he said, pulling me out of my bed and kissing me on the cheek before going out. I'm standing here with wide eyes still trying to catch what was happening in my life.

We always had a special connection. We didn't take time to discuss that but I still remember the last thing he said to me before flying to Italy 3 years ago. Alejandro, Amber and I went to send him off at the airport after a week after my brother's wedding.

Flashback

Lucas and Adriano came to hug me. We hugged tightly. Both of them were always like my friends. Maybe our age was one of the reasons. Both of them kissed my head and went to get on the private jet after greeting my brother and my friend too.

Then he came near me. Lorenzo stood in front of me staring into my eyes. I started to tear up and sobbed a little. He hugged me tightly and whispered some soothing words that made me stop crying slowly. He pushed me in front a little and wiped my tears off.

"Don't cry, mia amore. You are making me feel bad for leaving you here," he said with a worry in his eyes and a small smile.

"Then don't go Enzo," I said with a little hope in my eyes.

"Sweetheart you do know that I should go. It's something very important. I promise you I'll come back to see you here. I would not be able to come here for at least 3 years. I want you to take care of yourself for me. When I come back here I'm not gonna leave you here anymore. I'll come and take what is mine." he said with his signature smirk.

"What do you mean Enzo ?" I was a little confused.

"Nothing that concerns you mia amore. Take care of yourself, okay. Wait for me, mia amore." he said and kissed my forehead for a long time. He walked to his private jet and after a while, the jet took off.

Now

Wearing a simple crop top and ripped jeans, I wore a cardigan on top of it. I let my hair free. I didn't do any make-up. I'm not that type of person. Even if there is a grand ball or something I just wear simple makeup.

I put my phone in my pocket and opened my door to be greeted by Lorenzo leaning on the wall beside my door with his phone in his hand. He recognized me coming from my bedroom, putting his phone away, and taking my hand in his hand.

He pulled me closer to him and placed his hand on my waist. Lifting my chin he stared into my eyes. He put a strand of my hair behind my ears.

"Let's have breakfast, mia amore. Everyone is waiting for us to go down." I nodded and he took my hand and went down the stairs to be greeted by my family and friends.

Realizing me, Lucas and Adriano came running to me from their seats at the dining table. Both of them hugged me in a bone crash hug making me laugh.

"VY! How are you? We missed you so much. That human beside you didn't let us come here. He asked us to wait and here we are after 3 years of seeing you again" Lucas sighed complaining about his brother.

Making me tilt my head to the side I raised my eyebrows a little questioning him. He raised both of his hands, surrendering himself. I just shook my head at them.

"Enough of the reunion hug. Let's have breakfast okay ?" Amber said, peeling them off of me. I nodded and went to sit in my place. Alessandro was sitting at the head of the table. Amber and Jaylen were sitting on his left.

Lorenzo sat on his right and pulled my hand to sit beside him. Lucas sat beside me and Adriano sat across Lucas.

"Adriano, how are you? Why are you quiet ?" I asked while eating my food.

"You seem to forget me Vy," he said, hanging his head down and eating his pancake.

"Awww, how can I forget you Ad? Both of you are my partners in crime. Okay, you know what, come to my bakery shop tomorrow, I'll make you your favourite cheesecake.

"Really? Then you're forgiven." He said with a bright smile. I smiled seeing him happy.

We talked a lot. Amber and I cleaned the table and put the plates in the sink. I sent Amber to the living room while I continued washing the dishes. After a few minutes, Lorenzo came in and stood beside me, and started to wipe the dishes.

"So mia amore, do you have anything to do today?" he asked, wiping his hand on the towel I gave him after finishing our work. I sat on the kitchen counter and leaned my back on the chair facing him. I shake my head that I didn't have anything to do.

He walked towards me and spun the chair, placing both hands on the kitchen counter and capturing me between his arms. Lorenzo leaned in front and stared deep into my eyes, playing with a strand of my hair.

"Mia amore, let's go for a date," he said, making my heart pound crazily. I hesitated for a while but eventually accepted his offer and said yes. He smiled widely and kissed my cheek. He left the kitchen with a wink making me go crazy.

I place my hand on my heart with a blush on my face. This man has never quite made my heart flutter. If this continues I'll probably have a heart attack soon. Standing up I exit the kitchen and go to the living room.

"Ty Vy comes here (Auntie LIviya come here)" Jaylen called me to sit beside her on the sofa. It is a two-seat sofa. Lorenzo was sitting with Jaylen on his lap. I was going to sit beside him when Lucas sat there. I went and hit him on the head.

"Oww. Vy why are you hitting me ?" he asked with his innocent eyes.

"Don't act like you don't know anything you shi-sheep" I controlled my curse when I realized Jaylen was with us. Lucas started smirking knowing that none of us was allowed to curse in front of her. I started to pull his hair shouting for him to get up. Adriano joined us in the fight. The three of us fighting and shouting is a must when we see each other. It was always like that.

Lorenzo placed Jaylen on Alessandro's lap and pulled me to sit down beside him. I shut up immediately. Lucas and Adriano laughed watching me go silent immediately. I signalled them to shut up or else I'll kill them. They shut up after understanding what I said.

"Relax, mia amore." He whispered in my ears. After a while, I relaxed and leaned back on his front. Lucas played The Vampire Diaries from the first season wanting to binge-watch it. Of course, we all agreed. I'm a Damon Salvatore fan after all. When season 4 reached it was afternoon. I wanted to sleep right now.

By now everyone was in a cosy blanket. I turned to the side a bit and placed both of my legs on his lap and laid my head in the crook of his neck. Before sleeping I heard him saying "Sleep mia amore. I'm here." I smiled a bit and made myself comfortable on his lap and slept peacefully.
