"La mi famiglia! it's nice to see you again" (My family)
Vince quickly hides the gun back into his back pocket and straightens up his suit jacket.
My brothers all let out excited and happy 'hey's' and 'hello's'.
The unfamiliar middle-aged man walks into he room and greets my brothers warmly.
He is definitely a relative, he stands very tall like the rest of my brothers, also with a very similar face structure. His bright blue eyes meet mine and a large smile covers his face.
"Evanna?" He asks.
I give him a shy nod and a small wave.
"Hi" I say quietly.
"oh mio, sei diventato così alto"
He says. (Oh my, you have grown so tall)
I send confused glances at my brothers, not knowing what this man had said.
"She can't understand you" Blake points out.
"She is Italian, is she not?" He says.
"Sì but she has not become fluent in our language yet" Vince says.
The man nods, he walks over to me and kneels down reaching my height.
"Do you remember me tesoro" he asks softly. (Sweetheart)
I awkward shake my head.
"No sorry" I answer.
Hurt washes over his face but in seconds it is covered, back to its harsh exterior.
"Well Bambina, I am your uncle Alfonso" he states.
(Little girl / child)
"Hi" I answer with a smile.
He stands back up with a smile, he turns to Vince.
"Do you mind if we stay for a few nights?" He asks.
"Of course not" Vince replies.
"Have you brought Bella and the boys?" Blake asks.
"Sì" Alfonzo replies "they are just getting the bags" he adds.
Just as he finishes his sentence another four people enter the room.
A middle aged woman dressed in a long, elegant blue dress walks in with a very expensive Louis Vuitton bag hanging from her arm. She lets out an exhausted sigh and smiles.
Three boys then follow her in. They must be my cousins.
"Evanna, this is your Aunt Bella and these are your cousins Matteo, Luca and Raffael, their ages are 21, 19 and 17" he says.
Of course they are all boys.
Four pairs of eyes land in me. Smiles cover their faces as they all walk up to me.
"Oh tesoro, look how beautiful you are" My aunt Bella says.
(Sweetheart)
I send her a smile, and look down. My cheeks heat up slightly.
