Make sure you read the previous chapter named WHERE HE ASKED HER before reading this.😊

VALENTINA

I look like a female zombie right now after waking up three four times tonight. Carol told me that Liv just wakes up twice at night for food but here she woke for four times at least and cried a bit too.

I didn't know what to do and I tried to make her sleep but eventually I had to disturb Carol and call her because I was helpless and out of options. Carol then talked and sang to her on a video call which quietened her a bit and the little princess got tired and slept.

This is such a hard thing I did. I don't know how Carol and Nick handles all of this so gracefully.

I apply a good amount of makeup to hide my dark circles because I dont think I slept more than two and half hours as I cant go back to sleep easily after I wake up so I'm unlucky that way.

I decided on wearing a comfortable jeans and a hoodie as I'm already exhausted and I don't care how I look.

Liv is with Cody downstairs. She woke up at six today crying and Cody and Emma wakes up at that time so they came shocked to see her but they know Carol and have met her before. They took her with them so I can get some rest.

I skip downstairs where I see Cody feeding Liv with a milk bottle. Its not really surprising because Cody loves children and he is really good at taking care of them too.

"You look like a decent ghost." He remarked smirking at me.

"Yeah? Its all so that I can haunt you tonight!" I glared popping down on the chair.

"She is a sweet little girl." He coos to her and she keeps on concentrating on her bottle.

"Its okay sweetheart. It was her first night away from her parents. I don't think she will be like that tonight. Have your breakfast." Sandra said placing a plate of bacon and eggs with Coffee.

"Good morning!" I hear David's voice and turn around to see him entering inside and sat beside me.

Oh yeah I forgot he has to take care of her during the day.

"What about work?" I asked.

"I'll do it from here today. "

"Hey Dave. How are you?" Emma comes and hugs him.

"I'm fantastic actually." He smiled down at her.

Its funny how Emma had a huge crush on Dave a few years back and obviously Dave didn't know but now she is just friendly. I really thought and secretly hoped that they get together. It would've been amazing.

Rest of the breakfast went like this, nothing interesting. Just Nia and Dave fighting over useless things as usual.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Its fourth lecture of the day and guess what? I have already given up three times. This is the last lecture thankfully. I bunked one lecture to help David making Liv sleep because Sandra wasn't home and that idiot couldn't make her sleep so he called me.

"Maybe you should cancel your date with Luciano. I mean you're obviously tired." Nia smirked beside me staring at the front.

This little bitch..

"I'm a bitch but not little." She said looking at me with a mocking smile.

Am I that sleepy that I'm speaking things out loud?

"Shut up then. Will you?" I muttered massaging my temples.

"Geez...I was just trying to help." She chuckled.

"I'm not cancelling our very first date." I stated.

"Yeah because you are a horny bitch who hasn't had sex after you met Luciano?" She smirked turning to look at me.

What the fuck?! That's true though. I haven't had sex in more than a month! That's not me really.

"That's not the reason..." I started.

"Oh but we all know it is."

"Shut up!"

After an hour long torture I quickly settled inside my car and waited for Vanessa , Nia and Emma to come as Cody and Eric take another car.

After reaching home I didn't listen to any of David's calls for help and quickly took off my shoes plopping down on the bed in a deep and peaceful sleep.

I'm sorry but I really need at least eight hours of sleep at night in order to function well the following day and last night was bad and I love sleeping. Alright? So I need a nap.

After a while of sleeping I felt someone shaking me. Why would someone do that to a beautiful sleeping girl? Its rude to wake someone like that.

"I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL KICK YOU OUT OF THIS FUCKING BED IF YOU DONT WAKE UP RIGHT NOW!" I hear Vanessa's yelling making me groan.

"Why?" I mumbled still eyes closed.

"Because you have a fucking Date you idiot!" Emma snapped making me groan more.

"Its at seven." I cried hoping that they'll go away.

No way in hell am I torturing myself for three fucking hours just to have dinner!

"Oh my god...I don't know what to do with this girl." Nia groaned shaking me.

"Its six forty five Valentina!" Vanessa hissed slapping my arm hard making me jerk away in pain.

"Wha...what are you talking about? I just took a nap." I said in a hoarse voice and switched on my phone making my eyes go wide as it is indeed six forty five.

"Finally!" Emma sighed sitting on the bed.

"Thanks for waking me up guys." I smiled resting my head against the headboard.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!? Don't you need to get ready!? Now, you only have thirteen minutes left!" Vanessa said impatiently.

"Yeah it's fine...I'll be ready in ten minutes." I said irritated as already my sleep is disturbed yet again.

"What are you going to wear?" Nia asked.

"I have something in mind. Why don't you go downstairs and see if David is fine with Liv?" They nodded and walked out.

Thank god they went away otherwise they wouldn't have appreciated what I'm about to wear. They would've made me change.

I changed into my outfit as I don't really have time for shower so I just washed my face and applied my basic routine makeup but switched lipstick with lip gloss tonight.

I went downstairs and saw everyone seated. They looked up at me as soon as they heard me.

"NO FUCKING WAY!"

That was Nia.

"CHANGE RIGHT NOW."

That was Vanessa.

"MY BESTFRIEND IS OUT OF HER MIND."

Emma ofcourse.

Told you they would never approve of what I'm wearing because they believe in dressing perfectly on a date and what I'm wearing is the opposite of perfect.

I wore black sweatpants and white cropped shirt with white shoes. Now you see, we are going to his place so I thought let me be comfortable and wear comfortable clothes and besides this is the real me.

I don't understand what's the problem?

"I'm wearing this." I stated moving towards them.

"This is your first date with a Greek God and this is what you want to wear!?" Vanessa hissed.

"She is right! At least wear a simple dress if not a nice outfit." Emma said with scrunched nose.

"Its fine guys. He is cooking for us at his place so I think this is fine." I explained obviously to deaf ears.

"No. It doesn't matter. This is your first date. He will think you made no efforts for it." Nia said making me roll my eyes.

"Does it really changes anything!? She will still look like a fat pig." David mocked while I glared at him.

Asshole.

Before anyone can speak any further the bell rings thankfully saving me from these people.

I quickly move to open the door but Vanessa blocked me.

"Are you sure?" She asked looking panicked almost.

"Hundred percent!" I smiled and moved towards the door.

"Is she really the one we grew up with?" I hear Emma muttered making me chuckle..

I open the door to reveal Luciano looking handsome as ever with a simple white shirt and black pants. Wow. We managed to match too!

His shirt sleeves are rolled up till his elbow showing his forearms. He looked so perfect that I could just live my life staring at him.

"Done?" I hear his teasing voice making me shake my head smiling.

"Not yet. " I replied smirking at him.

He pulled me towards him by my waist for a long deep kiss leaving me breathless.

"You look amazing." He whispered placing kisses on my neck.

"If only my friends thought so too." I chuckled while he made a confused face.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Just look at what she is wearing!" Vanessa said stomping towards us.

Let her be. She has had a different childhood. Her family kind of believes in looking perfect, elegant and dressed for the occasion so she is like that. Its not her fault and I love her.

"Um...Is there something wrong?" Luciano asked her checking me from head to toe.

"Seriously dude!? She is wearing sweatpants!" Emma groaned and Nia smiles mockingly at me.

She is also similar but she is not that torturing like Emma and Vanessa when it comes to dressing up. Vanessa and Emma you can say are a bit more rule followers.

"Ohh." He smiled at them and pulled me closer by my waist so that I'm by his side.

"Please tell her to change." Vanessa pleaded.

Its not like Luciano's say in what I wear is going to matter to me. I'm not giving anyone other than me the right to have that much control on what I do.

This is honestly just funny for me because she does it every time I'm not dressed but its all about acceptance you know?

Even my Grandma is kind of strict in this aspect. She never let's me wear anything other than dresses in public parties and I follow that but just to make her happy and I have accepted it that she can't change now. It has been her whole life. I don't follow that all the time though but Vanessa can't accept it. She has always been like this.

"I don't see a problem Vanessa.That's none of my business and honestly? She looks fucking beautiful in whatever she wears." Luciano said looking at her making me smile.

"Alright...I'm really hungry. Can we please leave now?" I groaned pulling Luciano with me.

We settled inside the car finally and I sighed in relief.

"Why is she like this?" Luciano asked about Vanessa while starting the car.

"It's a family thing. I don't wanna talk about it." I said closing my eyes.

"You look tired sweetheart." He stated and I looked at him.

"Yeah...but I'm fine. I slept before you came." I smiled softly.

"Olivia gave you a hard time?" He looked at me amused.

"You have no idea! Four times throughout the night!" I said shaking my head with a smile.

"Let's make this night amazing then. Alright?" He smiled giving my hand a squeeze.

"Im excited to see another part of your life Mr. Moretti." I smirked.

Hello lovelies!❤

How are you all doing?

Recommend me some good werewolf stories if you have. (With a female alpha or second chance mate)🤩

Next chapter will be their date. I'm thinking about making it in two parts so it can be longer but that's not final yet.😌

What do you think about the chapter? I really try to make every chapter as realistic as possible even though I know some parts are not realistic. Realistic in the way that I think I would do that if I were in Valentina's place like wearing sweatpants. I would totally do that!😂

Vote. Comment. Share.

Love ya❤
