I walked into my closet and closed the door. I look at my dresses. I picked a glittery, black, strapless dress that stopped about two or three inches above my knee. To match my dress, I picked my three and half inch, red, peep-toed heels to show off my French pedicure. I brushed my hair smooth and wore it down. I walked out of my closet and Seth was ready.
"You look amazing," Seth gasped.
"Thank you," I blushed.
Seth and I made it to dinner, with five minutes to spare. Everyone exchanged odd glances with each other. Alec's eyes wouldn't leave me.
"Upon unfortunate events, Alliysonn, Carlisle, Seth, and the rest of their coven will be staying here for a while," Aro softly spoke.
"You will attend private school here in Volterra," Padrino said to me and maybe Seth.
"More will be discussed when the rest of the coven gets here. As for now, Alliysonn has an important dinner with Liliana," Caius said softly and straight faced.
Alec walked me to the gate as I waited for the driver.
"You look beautiful," he smiled.
"Thanks see you when I get back," I said kissing him on the cheek as I got in the car.
I couldn't wait to see Liliana. Liliana and I had been best friends as far back as I could remember. Our parents were best friends. Both sets involved in the mafia. My parents by blood and her parents by choice. The car stopped and the driver opened my door, letting me out of the car. I walked into the warm five-star restaurant. I spotted Liliana, just taking her seat.
Lili, as I called her, was two and a half years older than me. People always assumed we were sister, cousins, or somehow related. She had deep blue eyes and black hair that stopped in the middle of her back. Liliana's dimples charmed any guy she met, and made every girl jealous.
"Lili!" I said smiling.
"Alli!" she smiled with her perfect dimples piercing her cheeks.
"How've you been?" I said hugging her.
"Well my parents were clipped, shortly after yours," she said.
"That's tragic. Who are you living with now?' I asked.
"I'm staying with my cousins. But, Gianna said since you parents are my guardians, and they're dead too, I can live with you," she smiled.
"Yay! Carlisle and everyone else are really nice, you'll love them. But right now, I'm living with my padrino."
Lili and I caught up with our lives and ate a large dinner. I put the meals on our tab, paid courtesy of Padrino.
"Stay safe, and I'll see you soon," I smiled hugging her again.
I was falling asleep on the way home, but I forced my eyes to stay open.
"Hey," I smiled.
"Hey yourself. What's up?" he asked opening the door for me.
"Nothing that you wouldn't find out tomorrow or that you don't already know. How was the weekly catch?'
"Good, I'm nice and full,'' he said rubbing his stomach.
"Wonderful," I laughed.
"Go shower and get ready for bed. Come meet me in my room after. We should talk,"
"Okay. Want to do me a favor?"
"Sure."
"Bring me to my room please. I'm tired," I yawned.
Alec cradled me in his arms and brought me to my room in less than two minutes. I thanked him and opened the door. I nudged Seth, asleep on the couch, to let him now I was back. I showered, washed my hair, and put my pajamas on. I quietly slid into my purple bunny slippers.
"I'm going to Alec's room for a while,' I said to Seth.
"Okay," Seth mumbled.
I grabbed my key and walked to the end of the hall way and slowly opened the door. I walked in and sat in his egg chair and curled up in a fetal position. Alec sat across from me on the bed.
"You like me, right?" he asked.
"The question is, are you finally going to admit you like me?" I asked.
"I asked you first," he calmly said.
"Yeah, I like you. It's kind of hard not to. You're cute, funny, and you have your moments. I trust you mentally and physically. It isn't like you would attack me, my blood smells like water to you. No one can smell my blood except for vampire mafia members of my family's mafia. But you already knew that," I rambled on.
"Same here. You're beautiful, I've known you your entire life, your personality is amazing, and I love making you laugh," he said looking into my eyes.
"Wow," I said blushing and looking away.
Alec slowly moved toward me and held my face with both hands and softly kissed me. His lips were soft unlike the rest of his body, yet his lips were still cold. His hand moving my hair out of my face. Alec sat in the chair with me and I snuggled into him as he put his arm around me. We talked until I fell asleep. I woke up in my bed. Alec must have carried me in when I fell asleep. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and pulled my hair back. Barefoot, I took the elevator to the kitchen floor. I went straight to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of Sunny D. I turn a round and bump into Seth.
"Good morning," Seth yawned.
"Morning, lovely meeting you here," I joked.
"How was your talk with Alec?"
