Those Grey eyes.
Ariella.
"Princess are you able to come to work with me today I want you to have some experience." Father asks. I had just finished university. I had got a masters degree in business and management also child development and psychology. I had graduated early because I was a good student and yes I'm proud of myself. Ever since I graduated I've been participating in even more in charities with Sofia.
"Yes Dad but I need to transfer 500,000 pounds into WaterAid's account." I had raised more but wanted to give the other 500,000 to Save the children.
"Oh princess, you're so greatful" I blush at the praise. I loved making my father happy. It gave me joy that I was making him proud.
"Ari,Sofia told me to remind you about the Charity gala next week. I just ran into her at Pandora, she was buying herself a diamond bracelet. So sweet. You should treat yourself sometimes you know." My mother says walking into the living room. She looked stunning as always. She wore an off white jumpsuit with Red heels and lipstick to match. She was the epitome of beauty. My mother was the owner of the La Romano restraunt chain. She had branches all over the world. Uncle Tony was the co CEO. I loved uncle Tony, even at 70 he was a lively old man.
She kissed dad and he had leftover lipstick on his lips which mum wiped off. He whined like a child when she sat on the ottoman and not next to him. He loved her so much.
"Ava!" I say when my little 4 year old sister jumps onto my lap. I kiss her chubby pink cheeks and she smiles, the grin reaching her eyes, making my heart flutter. She was growing so fast.
"Dad I need to get this new game console, can I buy it?" Lorenzo says while sitting next to mum. She caresses his cheek and runs her hand through his hair.
"I'll see, if you keep those good grades up" my father says making lorenzo roll his eyes and my mother scold him. She doesn't let anyone disrespect my father and vice versa.
Adam and Aurora come sit at the table as well as Liyana.
We were all one big family and I loved it.
"Ana what were you doing at Pandora?" My father asks.
"Getting you this chain." She pulls out the beautiful silver chain and places it on dads wrist.
"Oh that reminds me" he pulls out a navy box from his pocket.
"Thank you for the chain love." He opened the box and inside was a single pearl on a silver band.
I smiled, they were so in love. It was cringy at times but mostly beautiful.
"Rafa!" mum hugs him and dad looks at Lorenzo and Adam while punching the air like a little boy.
I laughed at their childishness.
"Ew dad your so lovey dovey like we are kids. This is traumatising." Lorenzo jokes while making gag noises.
"Well son when you get a woman like your mother you tend to be 'lovey dovey' but then again there's no perfect woman like your mother" Father replys to Enzo while air quoting 'lovey dovey'.
As much as I love my siblings I like to annoy them as much as they annoy me.
"Lorenzo how's Alysia" I tease him. Alysia was Aunt Nailah's and Uncle Isaac's daughter she was so pretty and it was so easy to see they both liked each other, and Mila their other daughter is such a cutie as well as their 4 year old son Nathan who is going to be heartbreaker when he's older.
I hear there's another one on the way.
"Why would I know? Just go hang out with Sofia or something." He tries to change the subject.
Sofia Marin is my best friend her dad is Ethan Layne my fathers friend. He's married to Seth Marin. She's amazing, I love her so much. Ever since we were little we've been inseparable. Although she was adopted I didn't care and she has never been treated badly, Uncle Ethan and uncle Seth treated her like their own. she's an only child but I hear Mr Marin wants another girl.
"Well I should go and change, dad professional or casual?" I say.
"A bit of both princess" nodding I make my way up to my room.
If there's one thing I cherish it was my room I absolutely loved it. I designed it when I was 13- before it was all pink and princessy.
The walls were white and the furniture was off white, I had rose gold fairy lights going around my room. On my wall was polaroids of me and my friends. Mostly Sofia and me with my family. I loved my antique vanity that I had imported from Italy, I had placed it near my bed. The ceiling was a canvas of Paris,France. I love Paris. I've been to so many countries and cities but Paris is where I want to go with my lover. After all it is the city of love.
I decide to wear a burgundy dress with small cutouts at the back. It was tight at the top and loose up until my mid thighs.
I apply mascara onto my already thick long lashes and coat my lips with a nude brown shade from Nyx, I leave my naturally wavy hair down. I put some diamonds studs on and a diamond ring that dad gave me on my middle finger.
I put some black heels on and a beige trench coat. Wrapping a Burberry scarf around my neck to keep me warm I put water,tissues,pens and a notebook into my black tote as well as my wallet and phone. I make my way downstairs.
While passing through the kitchen I quickly get a doughnut and devour it. I reapply my lipstick and check the time to see its 10:40am.
Heading to the garage I see dad in the R8,my favorite car. We all have R8's well Adam,Aurora and Lorenzo And Liyana have one except baby Ava. Knocking on the window he opens it.
"Yes?" He says.
"Can I take my R8 because I need to go to the bank and pick up a coffee I will get you some too." I say with puppy eyes.
"Fine but don't be too late the meeting starts at 11:30." it was 10:45 now,I had enough time.
"OK dad, and please if mom's going to send you pictures like that turn your brightness down, I could see from the door." He chuckles embarrassed,while I unlock my matte black Audi R8 it was my 18th birthday gift, from Adam and Aurora they had saved up together, it was so sweet.
Lorenzo had bought me a pair of Ruby red earrings. My sweet liyana got me makeup from sephora and little Ava made me a beaded bracelet that I wear everyday. I'm even wearing it now.
Mother and father gifted me a week away in Morocco and Sofia went with me. It was amazing.
Anyways. I drive to the bank and wait for my transactions to be put through.
It was 11:05 now and the closest coffee shop near Dads office was Starbucks.
Ordering a latte with extra coffee for dad I then order a caramel frappucino with chocolate shavings.
Dads office was 15 minutes away but 10 without traffic. Placing the drinks in the cupholder I speed my way through traffic.
11:23, ok I had 7 minutes to park and get up to the top floor- no biggie.
Parking I grab my bag while trying to balance the coffees. Rushing to reception I say hi to Olivia. I run to the lift while its still open and press floor 65.
The elevator stops and I quickly walk to the conference room to see a bunch of men with suits and women with tight fitted dresses.
Giving my dad his coffee I sit next to him.
The room was silent. It was as if we were waiting for someone.
My father introduces me to everyone while I sip on my frappe.
Then I hear the door open, I dont look as mother was texting me,gushing about the ring and how I needed a boyfriend. I mentally rolled my eyes I'm 20 I'm alright.
"Let's start the meeting, your proposal Mr Amoretti?" My father says. I look up and see him. A Greek god, he was devilishly handsome. When I looked into those eyes, those Grey eyes I knew that I would be in for one hell of a ride.
