hey guys I know you've been waiting so here's chapter 1 😊


Chapter 1

I'm on my way to my Nonna's house, I haven't seen her in forever. I'm on winter break for college so now I have time to spend with her while I'm here. I don't know why, but I'm getting this feeling that I'm missing something. Like my other half is gone, and I'm destined to find it. I hope it goes away, but I don't think it's going to go away. I arrive at my Nonna's house, and all of my family is their to welcome me home. My rosy cheeks burn in the winter air as I walk into the house that smells like chestnuts roasting on an open fire.

As I smell the air I see my cousins running around the room, aunts and uncles under the mistletoe enjoying the Christmas season. Everyone looks so happy as if they were waiting to see Santa come down the chimney. Then my mother and father come in the door together?! I'm shocked because they got divorced when I was 4 years old I didn't expect them to ride together or come together. My parents weren't happy with their marriage since they got married at a young age.

"Hey Mom and Dad" . As I said suspiciously. "Welcome home Lydia", they said simultaneously. Something didn't feel right between them, like it was I scanned the wonderful home, I saw a picture of my grandfather missing him with all my heart wishing he was here to see me go to college." I know I miss him too", my grandmother said standing behind me.

"Do me a favor dear, run to the market for me, and grab some bread, and wine." My grandmother asked sweetly. "Sure thing." So I ride on the family moped, on a long and beautiful journey through Italy to get to the market. I see all the shops are filled up with people because of the holidays and last minute shopping.

Then I saw just the store I was looking for. The Bakery and The Winery. I saw just what I was looking for. Italian bread and the moscato. The cashier rung me up, I said to him "do I know you." He said flirtatiously " I think I do." Zeus saw what was happening and tried to erase their memory, but something overcame his power sending their old memories back to them. Restoring their love.

"Oh My God", I said with excitement. "Oh My God" he said with a surprised expression. We stood there in silence just staring at each other caught up in the moment. He then jump from behind the counter, and kissed me. His soft lips over mine, the sweet smell of peppermint lowered like a blanket over us. He then pulled away with a gasp " Oh my god, I'm sor-.

I interrupted, "I missed you so much", I said sweetly. I kissed him softly as if resting my lips on a soft sheet of snow. "Wow we still got that spark." He said flirtatiously. "Yep still got it." I chuckled. He walked me out the store, and he told me that he'll stop by my grandmother's house for Christmas later on tonight. I smiled from ear to ear, kissed him on his cheek, then hopped on the moped and made my way back to Sicily.
