Leonardo came from Olivia's room, "Hey Live." Then he kissed her on the forehead.
"Hey."
"Sleep well?"
"Yea. Uhm...you?"
"The best sleep of my life." Then he kissed her again on the forehead. Olivia felt a bit more relaxed. She was obviously going crazy.
"Ok."
Leonardo looked at his love. "Are you ok?"
"Yea. Hm mhm."
"Are you sure?"
"I said yea." Still sounding unsure."
Leonardo walked towards Olivia seductively, lifted up her chin and kissed her passionately. Olivia started moaning and her right foot slowly popped up. Her toes began to curl. He stopped kissing her and asked again, "Are you sure?"
"Now I am." She smiled at him.
A few months later after passing all finals, finishing the school play, and now winter vacation. The snow was falling gently on the campus grounds, Leonardo and Olivia were hand in hand. Leonardo was grinning. This past thanksgiving, Leonardo finally met Olivia's family who absolutely adored him. It's only been two months since their relationship started and they are so in synced with each other as if they've been together for years. Usher saw them walking on the lawn, with a new girl he started to see, Ellanora. Usher envying his ex and who his ex was with. Little that Usher knew, Ellanora was doing the same thing. Usher doesn't know that she once upon a time was in a relationship with Leonardo, her high school sweetheart. She figured that she could get Leonardo back, all she has to do is date Usher and try double dating as much as possible. Leonardo could think about all the fun they had while Olivia get's left alone and Usher comes to the rescue. "It'll be a happy ending for all of us." she thought to herself.
As Leonardo and Olivia walked through the campus together, Olivia looked at her cell phone and saw the time, "Leo, we're supposed to be at our drama club together."
"Ugh, do we have to?"
"Yes! I made a friend remember, and we could possibly be best friends." Olivia said with such joy in her eyes. She hasn't really had the time to make friends. Too busy with Usher drama, getting into a new relationship, and not forgetting in high school she was a huge loser, she hasn't even attempted to making friends. After their school play, the head of the drama club, Denay, asked them to join. Of course Olivia said yes for both her and Leo, but Leonardo didn't object. After that, every week Denay and Olivia has gotten closer within that month. They already seemed like they've been friends for years. "After drama club, we must discuss Christmas. I was thinking since Thanksgiving we were with my folks, Christmas we could be with yours."
Leonardo didn't know what to say to that. His parents wouldn't mind their interracial relationship, but it was more of his brothers that he had to worry about. One hundred percent Italian boys that didn't want their precious Italian blood mixed with anything. They made fun of Leonardo their whole life for being half white and not a pure breed like they are. He doesn't want to subject Olivia to their taunts or be the pun of their jokes. Olivia is as sweet as they come, and he doesn't want anyone to disrespect her. Family or not.
Olivia looked up towards Leonardo with her pretty brown eyes and said, "What do you think love?"
Hesitantly Leonardo looked into Olivia's hopeful eyes. He couldn't disappoint her and tell her that he doesn't want to be with his family, so he reluctantly said, "Sure babe. Whatever makes you happy." Then kissed her on the forehead before she comments on the last thing he said.
After drama club, Olivia and Denay as usual talked about other things besides drama. Leonardo and Denay's boyfriend Dwight. Dwight was on the football team with Usher. So everything about Leonardo and Olivia he is definitely rubbing it in freshmen's face. In his opinion that's what Usher gets for cheating on his girlfriend. Olivia was a good girl, and you can't do that to good girls. Leonardo and Dwight's friendship started to bud because of their girls. "Hey man, maybe we should hang out at the bar sometime dude."
"That sounds like fun, I'm game."
"Cool man. Maybe we should double date since our ladies are such friends. Mind you, Denay asked me to ask you."
"Now how can I say no to that?" Leonardo said, and they both started to laugh.
"Cool, just let me know when you both are free."
"Yea I no problem."
Once the girls stopped talking the two couples headed to their dorms. On the way to Leonardo and Olivia's dorm they ran into the newest couple, Usher and Ellanora. "Usher?!?" Olivia said.
Right after her Leonardo said, "Ellanora?!?"
Usher turned to Ellanora, "How do you two know each other?"
Ellanora hurried and answered, "We went to high school together. I'm friends with his family." She looked at Leonardo and Olivia to see if they'll comply with her story.
"Uhm yea, you can say that." Leonardo said then looked at Olivia looking just as confused as he was.
Olivia, changing the conversation, "Where are you guys heading from?"
"Why is that of your concern?" Usher said bitterly.
"I was just," Olivia started to studdard.
"She was just trying to be nice, Usher. Why do you have to be so mean? Still bitter?" Leonardo said with a smirk.
"Who's this? How do you two know each other honey?" Ellanora said grabbing closer to Usher's arm.
"Honey?" Olivia and Leonardo said together.
"She's my ex girlfriend." Usher said.
"Or Olivia, that's what my mother named me." Then she extended her hand to Ellanora.
"Ellanora." Then she looked up at Usher, "Why haven't I heard about her?"
Then Olivia looked insulted, "She never came up." Usher said then looked down into Ellanora's blue cat shaped eyes.
"Ok then. Well this has peaked my awkwardness for the day, I'm just going to let you to go. Come one Leo." Hand in hand Olivia and Leonardo continued to head towards their dorm. Both of them thinking That was weird.
A few days before Christmas Leonardo went over his parents' house, knowing that all his relatives would be there so he could talk to his brothers. "Hey Frankie, Donnie and Jr."
His brothers walked over to him and gave him a rough hug and a kiss on both cheeks. "Whatcha doin here white boy? Thought I wouldn't see ya til Christmas, if that." Jr. said. Jr., full name, Antonio Bernardo De Mare. He was more muscular than Leonardo. He was a clean cut with a sexy Mediterranean tan. He had a head full of thick jet black hair. Even though his skin tone was the darkest of the brothers, he had gorgeous light brown eyes that were almost hazel.
"I wanna talk to you guys about Christmas dinna."
"What about Christmas dinna?" Donnie asked. Donnie, full name Donald Alejandro De Mare. He was the third oldest out of the five. His twin brother is Ronald Omar De Mare which was the second oldest. Both of the twins had god like bodies that Hercules envied himself. They had curly light brown hair with big gorgeous hazel brown eyes that almost look gold. They both had high cheek bones. The difference was that Donnie didn't have freckles like his brother Ronnie.
"I'm bringin' mah lady ova and I don't want you guys embarrass me o mah lady. She's l'amore della mia vita. (translation: the love of my life) So she's very important to me. Please don't scare her off."
"So, Nora was right, she said you had a girlie. A black girl right?" Frankie, the second to youngest brother, said. Fransisco Ignazio De Mare was a pain in Leonardo's ass. He was extremely good lucking. He had a pretty boy's face with a body that we beyond perfect. He wasn't extremely buff like his older brother, yet he had more muscular tones than the twins and Leonardo. He always had a 5 o'clock shadow that made his pretty boy face a bit more rough and dangerous. He had big piercing blue eyes that were as blue as the Mediterranean Sea. He had full pink lips that no girl has yet to resist. He had jet black hair like the oldest brother. Even though Antonio was Jr., Fransisco looked more like their father, so he was always the favorite one.
"It doesn't matta what race she is. I love her and that's that."
Then Leonardo's mother and father came in. His mother, which was the other four boys' stepmother, was beautiful. She had shinny blond hair. She had a California feel to her. She was extremely sweet, humbling, and caring. She loved all of her husband's sons, no matter how they tormented their very own son, the baby boy of the family, Leonardo D'Angelo De Mare. She had big gorgeous green eyes that were more of an olive color. Her name was Angel Marie De Mare, maiden name Smith. Leonardo's father, Antonio Bernardo De Mare was a thick tall man. He looked like in the prime of his youth he was a body builder. He had long jet black hair with silver strands that was slicked back into a pony tail. He had piercing blue eyes like Frankie, and was a darker skin tone like Jr. For people who didn't know Antonio, he looked as very mean. But he has the kindest heart, every since he married Angel. "Non importa se è nero, è il fatto che il nostro ragazzo ha trovato l'amore dopo che il suo cuore è stato spezzato." (translation: It doesn't matter if she's black, it's the fact that our boy has found love after his heart has been broken.)
"Your father is right. Plus we finally have the whole family for Christmas. We haven't had that in such a long time since Nardo went off to college. Please boys be on your best behavior." Angel added.
Three of the brothers all said ok in some way.
"Thank you mom and dad." Leonardo hugged both of his parents and gave them a kiss on each cheek.
"So sweetheart, tell me about this girl." Angel grabbed her only son and walked into the kitchen. "If I knew you were coming I would've made something to eat for you."
"Thank you mom. And she's really sweet and special." Leonardo said with a huge smile on his face and a twinkle in his pretty blue eyes. She could tell that her son was smitten. She hasn't seen him this happy since he found out he was accepted to Brown and moving away from Frankie.
"How did she like the pasta?" Antonio said sitting next to his baby boy. He was glad to see that his son was done fooling around with girls and was getting serious about his future. Sure Leonardo was only 20, but he was married at the time and just had Jr. Jr, Donnie and Ronnie followed his footsteps. A little better than his because they are all still married with their first wife. The only one that needs to get serious was Frankie. Jr got his bacholars in business management and training to take over the family's resturant. Donnie got his masters and teaching children at the local private school how to speak Italian. Ronnie is an international model. Frankie just mooches. No job, no education, no nothing. He can't even stay faithful to his girlfriend of five years.
"She loved it dad. I'm glad she did."
"Wait, so you knew about this girl and didn't tell me?" Angel turned and looked at her husband.
"Well he asked me not to say anything until they got together. But he's been crazy about this girl since the day they met. He told me all about it and her jerk off ex boyfriend. Which I'm so proud that my son punched the shit outta that cheatin son of a bitch." Antonio gave a pat on his son's back.
Jr. walked in, "You punched her ex boyfriend? Wow, who knew the white boy got some balls after all." He patted his brother's back too.
"When you kissed yo wife how did my balls taste? Ya wife sucked them last night Tony and she said and I quote 'Oh Leo your balls much bigga then mah lil dick husband'" Then they both laughed.
"Leo? Who calls you Leo?" Angel said.
"Live does."
"Her name is Live?" His mother looked confused. "That's an interesting name."
Leonardo laughed, "Her name ma is Olivia. I call her Live."
"Oh ok dear. So since your father knows so much about her, please tell me everything."
As Donnie, Jr, and Frankie gathered at the table with their father and youngest brother they all sat there and listened to the tale of Leonardo and Olivia's love while Angel was making dinner for her boys. If Ronnie was here, it would've been the perfect picture. She hasn't seen Nardo and Frankie in the same room together without fighting or yelling. That Ellanora truly ruined their relationship. Hopefully they all get along for their Christmas dinner. She hasn't had the heart to tell her sons that Ellanora asked to come by for dinner since her parents were off in Italy and had cut her off from the family since was in rehab. Apparently she's bringing a date.
