Before writing the chapter I just wanted to say thanks for the reviews, you guys are awesome. This chapter is short sorry! I had a bit of writers block. The next one will be better I promise.

Rose POV

In the bathroom I took a few deep breaths and muted my angry feelings even though they were already fading.

A few calming moments later I headed back to the table vowing to deal with Mason calmly and reasonably for the remainder of our brother sister night.

"Hey Mas, I'm sorry I blew up at you like that." I didn't really enjoy apologizing but I knew I needed to if I wanted this night to go any better than it was at the moment. He knew that I didn't like to apologize. So he also knew I was really serious about this one.

"It's okay I was being a little rude to the waiter dude too. It's my fault too." I decided not to comment on the fact that he called himself only 'a little rude', at least we were happy again.

"Good." I grinned at him happy to be brother/sister besties again.

From there on we went back to our easy jokes and banter. Mason even said thank you when Adrian brought us our drinks. Whatever Adrian slipped in my drink lightened my mood even further and I was having an awesome time.

Once we'd gotten our drinks we figured we should use our menus for something other than hiding from staring eyes when we acted stupid. So we looked through the foreign language of Italian trying to figure out what everything meant.

We ended up choosing the meals easiest to understand and also some of the most stereotypical Italian dishes there ever were.

"I'll have the pepperoni and sausage pizza with extra cheese." I told Adrian when he asked for my order.

"Okay but because I respect you as a woman I will tell you that there are over one thousand calories in that. It is also huge and very fattening. Are you sure you want to order that?" he asked as if truly concerned about my dietary needs.

"Well thank you for telling me those interesting facts about the pizza that I will be eating. But the one fact you fail to see is that I like food! Just get me the damn thing." I tried to say matter of factly but failed because of laughter bubbling in my throat.

"Props sis! That was funny!" I heard Mason call from across the table laughing. I lent over and gave him props while Adrian stared at me as if I was an alien.

"Do you have a problem Adrian? You look a little lost." I asked sweetly and he regained his cool guy composure.

"I'm fine, just never heard of a girl as beautiful as you wanting to eat something like that. Anyway what would you like?" he finished looking Mason. While my cheeks reddened slightly, had he called me beautiful? I'd been called hot and sexy my guys I knew but never beautiful especially by a guy as hot as Adrian.

"I'll have the spaghetti and meatballs." Mason ordered his stereotypical meal completely oblivious to the thoughts running through my head.

"Wow that was really good! Thanks for dinner Mas!" I said walking out of Il Fornello, one Italian meal later.

"No problem Rosie." I tried to yell at him about the nickname but he talked loudly over me, "I miss my little sis sometimes! Hey, that rhymed! What am I doing in college with a perfectly good career opportunity as a poet?" he exclaimed excitedly pinching my cheek as if I was 5 not 17.

"Stay in school Mason." I said flatly. "And get off me!" I exclaimed shoving him away from my poor cheeks.

"Don't you shove me!" he came running at me.

I screamed and ran as fast as possible in my black pumps but heels are in no way running shoes. Within 5 seconds he caught up to me and engulfed me into a hug, lifting me up from my waist. Mason carried me to his convertible ignoring my flailing around. Luckily there was nobody around to think he was some rapist trying to capture me.

"You know Mas if anyone is seeing this they are probably on the phone with the police reporting that there is a red headed boy taking a pretty girl into his car by force. I could probably sue you." I commented laughing.

"For what money? I'm broke! So it's a good thing there's nobody around to see us!" he winked at me grinning. "I could be a good criminal you know?"

"Yep I'm sure." I laughed at my idiot of a brother.
