Malaina POV

"So how does this look?" Sofía asked Bella and I, giving us a little spin. Sofía was trying on a short white dress with gold accents all over it.

Looking up from my seat on the couch in front of the dressing rooms, I give her a good look over. She was cute but I didn't tell her that. I kept silent. I had a slight attitude. We hadn't gotten food yet and I was starting to get a bit bitchy.

But Bella however gives Sofía a thumbs up. "Makes your ass look fat."

"Look?" Sofía says glaring at Bella. "My ass is fat." Turning towards the mirror she gives herself a hard slap on the ass, trying to see if it jiggled or not.

It didn't.

Rolling my eyes with annoyance, I ask the same question I've been asking since we got to the mall,

"Can we eat now?"

"No, I want to try on more dresses" She says dismissing me with a wave.

"You said that 2 hours ago!" I whine, leaning onto Bella dramatically.

"Get the fuck off of me, you dramatic ass bitch" Bella mumbles pushing me off her, causing me to fall off the couch and onto the floor with a thud.

"Please?" I beg. "Aren't you hungry, Bella?" I ask turning to her from the floor.

"No. Not really" She admits not paying attention to us. Following her gaze, I watch as she stares at 4 guys outside the store laughing.

Of course.

Looking away from the guys, I watch Sofía pick up another dress to try on. I don't look at the guys again until I hear one of them speak up.

"Hey I'm hungry, we should get some food." One guy suggests.

"Yea, me too."

"Ok, let's go. The food court is close to here." And with that all boys walk off in the direction of the food court.

"You know? On second thought, I am hungry. Starving even." Bella says fluffing her hair as she stands up from her place on the couch. Giving the air a kiss, Bella makes her way out the door and in the direction of where the boys went.

"Ooo, I'm following Bella!" I shout getting up from my place on the floor.

"No! You can't leave me here by myself!" Sofía shouts trying to grab onto me.

"Too late." Jumping out the way, I make my way out the door. Spotting Bella not that far ahead of me, I quickly jog up to her in an attempt to catch up.

Once we got to the food court, we quickly found seats. Not far from the guys, obviously. Staring around the food court, I spot a Chinese place across from me, that had my name written all over it.

"I'll be back" I tell Bella.

"Yea, yea whatever." She says completely ignoring me.

"Ok, then" I grumble as I make my way to the Chinese restaurant.

Ordering my food, I make my way back to my seat and began to stuff my face.

"You know I hate you both right?" Sofía states plopping down in the seat in front of me.

"What did we do?" I ask.

"You guys left me in that store" She points out aggressively.

"Pft, you'll be alright" Bella says with an eye roll.

"It is not alright. I got stuck in the dress. And in the process of trying to take it off, I fell over and flashed the lady in there." She whispers in embarrassment. Giving off a loud laugh at her statement, I watch as her cheeks began to heat up in a bright shade of red.

But my laugher soon dies down when all 4 boys that Bella was staring at not long ago, pull up chairs around our table.

"Uh?" Bella says trying to mask her confusion with a soft smile.

"Not to be rude or anything, but why are you here?" I ask pointing my chopsticks in their directions.

"Your friend over here keeps staring, so we thought why not go sit with them." Says a really cute curly headed brunette, with big blue eyes, and a soft smile.

"Ok?" That's the last thing I respond with.

"My name Alessandro," He says pointing to himself. "And that's Giovanni, Andrea, and Stefano" He says pointing to the other 3 boys around us.

Alessandro has brown curly hair and big beautiful blue eyes. His skin was tan and he had a gentle smile. He seemed to have such a bubbly personality.

But so did, Giovanni.

Giovanni looked similar to Alessandro. Except, Giovanni has tattoos covering every inch of his sleeveless arms. With an nose piercing, tongue piercing, and dimples. I was at least 99.9% sure, he was the fuck boy of the group. Based on his appearance.

But I could be wrong.

Then there was Andrea, who personally, looks like an Greek god. An true Adonis. He has such an angelic face. He was also hot.

Definitely the sweetheart of the group.

Andrea had pretty long black hair that reach just behind his ears. He had pretty green eyes. And pink pouty lips. He was definitely the type to bring home to your parents.

Over all they looked like pretty nice guys to me. Well except for maybe the blond one, Stefano.

Stefano had blond hair that sat perched on top of his head. It was a man bun. The sides were shaved with cool designs. He had hazel-brown eyes and perfectly arched eyebrows. He seemed like he didn't want to be here based off of his body language.

Smiling at them, Sofía replies. "Nice to meet you guys."

"I'm Bella, that's Sofía, and that's Malaina." Bella introduces.

"Malaina?" Andrea asks with one of his perfectly arched eyebrows raised.

"Uh, yea. That is what she said." I state slightly confused. Why did he say my name like that?

He chuckles, "I'm sorry. I've just never met an Malaina before."

"Well, I'm happy to be the first" I tell him popping a noddle into my mouth.

"So what are you guys doing here?" Aless asks.

"It's a mall, dumbass. Why else would they be here?" Gio chuckles at his friend with an eye roll.

"To look around?" Aless says in a soft, questioning tone.

"No, for shopping. And whatever girly shit girls do." Stefano replies in his very deep, and very husky voice.

Well, I'll be damned. His voice.

"Um correction. I'm only here for the food." I say chiming in to their little conversation.

"You sound like a fatass." Bella laughs.

"And you look like a dumbass staring at them." I reply in a snarky tone.

"Well yo-"

"You better stop, I will embarrass you in front of all these white folks." I threatened as I pointed my chopsticks at her.

"I like this one." Gio smirks.

"Thanks my boy-" I began but I'm interrupted by a loud squeal.

What the fuck was that?

"GIO! Gio, is that you?" Shouts a red head in booty shorts not even ten steps away from us. "Oh, Gio!"

"Oh god." Gio groans out in annoyance, while banging his hand against the table.

"Looks like you got a friend, Gio." I chuckle as we watch her make her way towards our table.

"Please don't remind me." He whines.

"I told you not to fuck her, virgins always get attached." Andreas says with an look of knowing.

Looks like someone knows the feeling..

"Oh god, here she comes." Gio says trying to hide his head under the hoodie he was wearing.

"Who is she?" Sofía asks with amusement in her eyes.

"Hey, Gio. How's it going? I've missed you." She says hugging him from behind, placing a big wet kiss on his face.

I nearly die from laughter when I saw, from the corner of my eye, Stefano gag slightly.

"It's been fine, Mia." He says forcing a smile.

"Why haven't you called after our special night together?" She asks with a pout.

He gestures to us, "I've been busy, Mia."

"Oh, I see." She pauses looking at all of us. Staring at Bella a little longer than the rest of us, she yanks on Gios hoodie. "Gio, can I talk to you? In private."

"Uh?" He pauses, trying to figure out a bullshit excuse to say to Mia.

"You know what, it's fine. I'm sure your friends won't mind leaving us for a minute or two. We need to talk about our relationship." She says glancing at Bella ever so slightly.

No one moves. I just raise an eyebrow at her.

Looking at Sofía, I give her my 'is this bitch crazy' look. "Surly she wasn't talking to us, now was she?"

"Um, excuse me. Yes, I was talking to you, bitch."

"Call me a bitch again and watch me permanently break your jaw" I threaten with one hand clutching chopsticks and the other in a tight fist.

"I swear, I love this one" Aless says pointing at me with a deep laugh.

"Ok!" Sofía shouts jumping up from her seat. "It was nice meeting you guys but we need to leave before Malaina goes to jail for murder" She nervously chuckles.

"Wait before you go," Andrea stops us. Grabbing a napkin, he carves something into the napkin with my chopsticks." here's my number. Give me a call."

Bella snatches the paper from him and we run out the mall.

***************

Finally making it home we walk into the house, to spot Luca and Matteo looking at us anxiously.

"Why the fuck do y'all look like that? You guys constipated?" I inspected, looking at them up in down.

"It's bad, really bad" Luca mumbles.

"What happened?" Bella asks in confusion.

"Bella, darling? Is that you?" We hear a voice call out from the living room.

"Oh hell no." Sofía curses.

"Mom?" Bella asks face full of terror.

Adriano's parents are here?
