Chapter 40 - 39 (2/2)

There was a round table in the dinning area.

”We have two dinning areas. This is the smaller one with only 10 chairs. Arlo wanted this dinning room to be more intimate as it's rare that we use the dinning table here. It's usually me and Arlo here. And having dinner at a very large dinner table is depressing.” Said Sabina.

”You stay here often?” Asked Rose.

”We are here and in New York. After the kids finished high school and left to college. Me and Arlo stay here and there. Arlo has always been here and I join him most of the time. Aria and Vincenzo grew up basically by Sabrina and the rest of the family” said Sabina.

”That's the beauty of being in a joint family. Kids start to appreciate family and have a wide variety of people with different thoughts to look up to and learn from. Basically the family itself becomes an institute for the child where he can learn a little from everyone.” Said Rose.

”So true.” Said Arlo and smiled at Rose and then looked at Ermanno and said ”she is a keeper” Ermanno smiled at Arlo and then looked at Rose.

What made Ermanno confused was seeing Vincenzo smiling at Rose.

”You always wanted a large family. You liked ours and look now you are part of us” said Vincenzo looking at Rose with a smile.

Rose smiled back at Vincenzo.

”And how do you know she likes a large family?” Asked Ermanno to Vincenzo.

”Oh boy. You don't know” said Aria.

”Know what?” Asked Ermanno.

Aria looked at Rose and then at Vincenzo and at last at Ermanno and said ”they were bf and gf”

”What?” Asked Ermanno and looked at Rose and Vincenzo and asked ”you dated eachother?”

”We were never exclusive” said Rose.

”Ouch” said Vincenzo.

Rose looked at Vincenzo and said ”that's what you said when I called you from England”

”Yes I did. But that time I didn't think you would come back and I had Estelle. She was beyond hot. I mean oh boy she was everything. And I didn't want to do the whole long distance thing. So I said we were not exclusive so that you could find someone else and enjoy life like I was” said Vincenzo.

”Wait... So he was the boyfriend?” Asked Ermanno.

”How am I the boyfriend?” Asked Vincenzo.

Rose looked at Vincenzo and said ”you were the only boyfriend I ever had”

”Aw.. Rosie. Why didn't you find someone else? I mean after me and before Ermanno? Wait if you were not with anyone then you were.... Ohhh way to go bro” said  Vincenzo and put his fist up for Ermanno for fist bump but Ermanno had a hard expression on his face and said ”f.u.c.k you vi. Why do you always have to go for my girls?”

”You always have the best girls” said Vincenzo.

”Now where have I heard that before?” Said Elisio and looked at Arlo.

”What? You had a buffet of hot girls. I only feasted at few” said Arlo.

Sabina looked at Arlo and Arlo said ”that was way back. I don't want anyone but you now” and kissed her lips.
