Destiny's P.O.V

The bright sunlight awakens me from my deep slumber last night. Suddenly it all hits me in the head as the flashback memory from last night returns.

Man, i can't believe i just did that with someone I barely know.

But it was amazing nonetheless.

What time is it now? I turn to grab a clock nearby. Half past seven a.m. I find myself to be alone in the bed.

The bathroom door opens and i see him with all his glory standing there while getting out of the shower with a wet hair.

"Morning, Darling." he says as he gives a smile to me. A decent smile to be exact.

"Yeah, morning." I reply, still feeling slightly embarrassed.

"So, what time are we going to pick Alan up?"

"In three hours." It means that I have to get ready as soon as possible, we haven't even eaten yet.

While I am still planning how i am going to plan for today, i hear him clearing his throat. Then he approaches me.

"But before that, I deserve a kiss, don't I?" he presses his lips against mine. I pull it away before we end up doing it again.

"Okay, I'll take a shower."

Right now we are on the way to Elena's house. The way is just filled with small talk and the songs played in Italian which i have no idea what they are about.

It feels unbelievable that we are currently in Italy. I mean, i was just in London a few days ago, and he just happened to be there while they were "collecting" me.

After around half an hour of ride, we arrive in front of a convenient two story house.

The front is painted in light blue and the roof is blue colored. The front yard is decorated with a lot of flowers, and there are some fruit trees seen. It seems like a warm and convenient place to live.

We both get out of the car and ring the front bell.

I am feeling a bit nervous since this is the first time I officially meet Alan as his step mother. He seems to be okay with me when we first met, but still, will he accepts me well?

Before long, the door is opened by Elena. She is wearing a one-piece old style casual dress in pale yellow.

"Oh, hello Stefano, and Destiny, please, come in"

We get into the house to find Alan with a little blonde girl, they are playing together while having small kids talk.

"Hey, Alan, ready to go home?" He noticed Stefano voice and turn his head to see him.

"Papa!" He runs to approach Stefano and me. His tiny hands hug Stefano legs, and he wrap him tight.

"Do you want to give mama a hug?" He points his finger to me.

Alan sneak a peek on me, and immediately move to hug my legs.
