-Part twenty one-

Zara's pov

Today is Thanksgiving, I have been living at Enzo's place for about a week now and it's been nice, although I don't see Enzo much because he has a lot of work, he goes to the office in the mornings and then more towards the night he has secret like meetings

But I don't care to know what it's about, it's none of my business to pry

His parents are coming in a few hours and I'm very nervous, I mean this feels like we're dating and I'm meeting "the parents" not that I would know how that's like since I've never been in a relationship

But I'm sure it's terrifying from the books I've read and things I've watched on tv

I'm anxiously helping Maria with the food in the kitchen, his parents should be here any minute

I'm finishing up some last-minute stuff when I hear some voices, I turn my head to see a beautiful older woman with dark hair and brown eyes, and a tall man with brown hair and those same piercing green eyes as Enzo and Mia's

"Hi I'm Zara, you guys must be Enzo's parents" I smile giving them handshakes

"Antonio Moretti, but you can just call me Antonio," Enzo's father says giving me a firm handshake

Damn this man is even more intimidating than Enzo

"OH And you must be the sweet girl who squeezed their way to our boy's heart, I'm Sophia Enzo's mother" she says going in to hug me

Wait...did she just say I squeezed into his heart?

"Hi nice to meet you guys" I laugh lightly

We're now all at the table eating and Enzo and his father have been talking about business the whole time while I have been talking to Sophia

"So you own a bakery?" Sophia asks

"Yes it's called a slice of love, it's actually where I met Mia and Enzo" I say laughing at the memory

"Well I might just have to stop by and get something there before we leave" she smiles

"So do you guys like it in Italy? I haven't been since I was a very little girl" I say

"Yes it's absolutely beautiful you'll have to come sometime, we have the most wonderful place there" she smiles

"Do they always talk business at family things?" I laugh looking at Enzo and his father

"Yeah, it's always business with those two" she laughs shaking her head

"If you don't mind me asking why aren't you with your family for Thanksgiving?" She asks

Well shit I thought I would be able to not think about my parents today

"They're back in Seattle, I am not very close with them actually" I shrug starting to tear up

Sofia grabs my hand it trying to comfort me

"I'm sorry sweetie if you ever need to talk to someone and need a mother, feel free to call me," she says smiling

Wow I've never had someone actually care to make an effort with my feeling except Ava

"Thank you it means a lot to me" I smile

"So Zara what's your last name? You look quite familiar " Enzo's father says

"Oh, it's Ricci... Zara Ricci" I say smiling up at him

The minute I say that Enzo and his father share a look...that I'm not quite sure what to make of it

"Mhm...interesting, what do your parents do?" Antonio asks
