Ezio and I both looked at each other in amazement and then back at Giovanni just to make sure we had not been hallucinating. He just laughed and that made us both raise our eyebrows.
"What?" he said taking his wife's hand. "Can I not approve of this?"
"But father you have never approved before, I am just surprised that you do now."
"That is because you have a very unorthodox approach to courting women." Maria cut in glaring at Ezio in a stern way. "This has been the only time where I have seen you actually do it properly."
"Madre!" he said looking all embarrassed. I grinned, thinking it was payback from earlier.
"Your mother is right Ezio, do not think I haven't seen you roaming the streets and flirting with any woman that is not already taken!" Said Giovanni now frowning at Ezio. Ezio went a little red and looked at me sheepishly.
"Father!"
"Ah so finally the truth comes out!" I said teasingly to Ezio however I don't think he found it so funny. Claudia was discreetly hiding her laugh behind her hand. I ended up joining them which earned a glare from Ezio.
"What, can't I laugh? I remember you found my argument with Ben earlier pretty funny." I said putting my hands on my hips and wiping the smile from my face. His mouth was pressed into a small line until he actually rolled his eyes at me.
"Yeah that came back to bite you didn't it?" I said now not being able to help myself, I had to laugh at Ezio's face and his eye rolling. "Oh and never roll your eyes again, it doesn't look good on you."
"And I suppose it does on you?" he said now back to his happy self. I flick my hair in a totally girly way.
"Of course it does!" I said rolling my eyes to prove my point then laughing. I then heard the familiar noise of someone trying to contact me via Skype. I grabbed my Macbook and dashed upstairs to answer the call which was from my parents. I clicked 'Accept' and saw my mother's face appear on the screen.
"Guten Abend Mutti. (Good evening Mum)" I said smiling at my mum through the webcam.
"Hallo Abby, wie geht's dir? (Hey Abby, how are you?)" she said smiling back with her gentle smile that I always loved seeing.
"Ich bin prima danke und du? (I'm great thanks and you?)" I replied sitting down in my room with the laptop in my lap.
"Ich bin froh dass alles in Ordnung mit dir ist. (I'm glad everything is alright with you now)" she said and I knew if she was here she would be squeezing my hand.
"Benjamin was too soft on the boy, if I was down there he would be in intensive care!" I heard my dad say in his gruff accented voice. He was speaking in English so I assumed I could too.
"Dad!"
My mum and I both looked at him and he folded his newspaper and came over to the webcam.
"He hurt you Abigail and so he must pay for it."
"He did pay for it, he got badly injured and Ben and a couple of his friends got arrested for it!"
"I still don't think that was enough."
"Marcus, stop it!" Mum said glaring at dad, he just huffed and sat back down on their sofa.
"He also has to deal with seeing me with my new boyfriend." I said a bit nervous, there's no time like the present.
"Oh?" said my dad and my mum moved the laptop with her over to the sofa.
"That's wonderful liebling (darling, honey, love)" said my mum. "What is he like?"
"He's really nice, funny , charming, polite and... he's Italian." I said adding on the last bit even though I didn't really want to. My parents exchanged a look.
"Are you sure you want an Italian boyfriend?" my mum said looking a bit concerned, they also knew about the stereotypical Italian boy. I guess this would help when Ezio leaves.
"Mum please don't judge him until you've seen what he's like."
"And when will we meet him?" my dad asked, he was always like this whenever I got a new boyfriend.
"Now if you'd like, I mean he's downstairs with the rest of his family. They're all really nice and we've been friends for ages." I said trying to persuade them to like him already. My dad didn't look convinced but my mum gave him a look and then smiled at me.
"I'd love to see him." She said warmly. I knew she wouldn't be the issue, it was Dad that I was hoping wouldn't scare the crap out of Ezio.
"Okay then, before I bring you to you I need to say something. Dad please don't ruin this and scare him, I really like him."
"I don't know what you mean." Dad said earning another glare from mum.
"Alright then, I'll be back in a moment." I said gently laying the laptop down on my bed and running downstairs. I dashed into the living room, grabbed Ezio by the wrist and pulled him upstairs earning looks from everyone.
"We're not doing anything like that!" I added as I pulled him up the stairs.
"What's going on?" he said but from his tone I think he actually thought we were going to do something like that.
"It's nothing like that Ezio!" I said before he completely got the wrong idea. "My parents want to meet you."
"Wait cosa? (What?)"
"I told them about you, and they want to see you."
"They're here?"
"No, their using their own laptop to contact me via my laptop." He gave me a blank look and I sighed. "Never mind, just use your charms and you'll be fine."
"Right." He said before I opened the door and picked up the laptop. Ezio sat down on the bed next to me and I adjusted the camera so it showed the both of us.
"Mum, Dad this is Ezio." I said smiling at them. Ezio gave them his charming smile and nodded politely to them.
"Buona sera signore e la signora Jones (Good evening Mr and Mrs Jones), it is nice to meet you." He said very gentleman-like. My mum was already impressed even though she had no idea what he just said in Italian.
"It is nice to meet you too Ezio." She said smiling brightly at him. My dad was silent but was looking at Ezio like he always did to any of my previous boyfriends. He was staring him down. I looked at Ezio who was looking at my father but I was glad to see that there was not a hint of fear in his eyes. He must have experience with angry fathers.
"Marcus." My mum said, trying to get dad to say something. Instead of actually replying though he just nodded.
"I trust you are treating my daughter well?" he said in his scary authority voice. Ezio didn't cower like most of my boyfriends had though, he smiled politely and nodded.
"Of course."
"And you look after her?"
"I would never let anything happen to her signore. In fact I helped deal with her two-timing previous boyfriend." He said taking my hand in his. My dad raised his eyebrows and I swear I saw a smile wash onto his face for a moment.
"Really?" he said and I was glad his voice was less cold. He is falling for Ezio's charms, this is amazing!
"Yes, I ended up at the police station but it was worth it to see the pain he'd put her through on his face." Ezio said in a tone that was bordering on angry. After a moment of silence, my dad smiled and mum and I breathed a sigh of relief. He was actually not screaming at Ezio down the line. This is progress. I squeezed Ezio's hand and when he looked at me I smiled and nodded.
"Well I'm impressed, you seem very polite and like a true gentleman. You don't get many of those around anymore unfortunately." Dad said grinning at Ezio, he grinned back and then all four of us were smiling.
"You'll have to come up and see us at some point Ezio." Mum interjected glad she could finally invite one of my boyfriends to see them without dad going nuts.
"Of course signora." Ezio said still being polite.
"Abby I must say, naja, er sieht auf jedenfall gut aus!(Well he looks good in any case)"
My jaw dropped as I heard what mum said.
"Mutti!" I said and dad raised his eyebrows at her. She laughed and I could tell mum and dad were going to start being all sentimental.
"Not as good looking as you obviously." My mum said looking at my dad.
"Okaygottogoloveyoulotsbye!" I said hurridly ending the calling and taking a deep breath out. I closed the laptop and looked at Ezio who was slightly confused.
"What?"
"Did your mother call me good looking?" he said slowly trying to understand it himself.
"Uh yeah she did. That was really weird but it means she likes you. My dad though, wow! He has never liked a single boyfriend I've ever had, in fact he made them all cower in terror. How the hell did you manage not to anger him?"
"Like you said, I used my charms though they have never worked before."
"Is that because you have never met them before you slept with their daughter?"
"Hey!"
"I'll take that as a yes!"
Then there was a knock at the door and Ben walked in with his arms cross.
"Alright what the hell happened up here?" he asked obviously thinking along the lines that Ezio had started off on.
"Our parents called and they wanted to see Ezio." I explained
Ben visibly winced. "Ooh, how'd it go?"
"Dad actually grinned at Ezio and told him that he was impressed!"
"What?! Are you serious?"
"Yeah I am!"
"Wow, he must like you." Said Ben grinning at Ezio and clapping him on the shoulder. "Well done for surviving that mate!"
"I have been in a lot worse situations than that." He said smirking.
Ben gave Ezio an 'I-know-you-have' look which he thankfully didn't understand.
"C'mon, let's go downstairs and watch a movie."
With that we headed back downstairs where Ben would reassure the rest of the Auditores that nothing had happened up there.
