“I don’t know…”
“Don’t you want to be prepared before you have to meet him?”
“There’s a part of me that fears what Father has brokered for me.”
While Vittoria gave me a sympathetic look, Audrianna wrinkled her nose. “Like he’s old or fat and balding?”
With a nervous giggle, I replied, “Yeah, something like that.”
“How about I look?”
“How does that help anything?”
“If it’s bad, I won’t tell you,” Audrianna reasoned.
“Then I’ll be even more curious,” I countered.
“You’re impossible,” Audrianna huffed before slipping her phone out of her pocket. As her manicured fingernails flew over the keyboard, Vittoria and I exchanged a look.
“Oh my,” Audianna murmured.
“What is it? What’s wrong with him?” I demanded.
A cheeky grin curved on Audrianna’s lips as she held out the phone. “He’s a huzz!”
I didn’t bother asking what the hell she meant. Instead, my gaze narrowed on the screen to take in the ridiculously handsome face of my future husband. All I could mutter was, “Fuck.”
“With a face and body like his, I’d sure be doing a lot of that,” Audrianna mused.
While I burst out in laughter, Vittoria’s eyes widened in horror. “Audrianna!”
She shrugged. “Just calling it as I see it.”
“That was a completely inappropriate comment to make about your future brother-in-law,” Vittoria chided.
“Don’t you think he’s fine as fuck?” Audrianna asked.
Holding up my hands, I teasingly said, “Easy now. That’smyfuture husband.”
“I just hope Father gets me one that hot.”
I nudged her playfully. “Maybe he has brothers.”
She wagged her brows. “Sign me up.”
Vittoria pointed her finger at me. “You need to be a better influence.”
“How am I to blame for her mouth?”
“Because you never regulate yours, and she looks up to you.”
At Audrianna’s laugh, Vittoria turned her wrath on her. “You need to watch your mouth. The last thing any of us needs is for your mother to hear you talking like that.” Her lip curled in disgust. “Or God forbid your father.”
With a groan, Audrianna slapped her hands over her ears. “Don’t bring that buzz kill up right now.”
“I’m serious,ragazza testarda.”
Grinning, I teased, “Watch out, Audie. She’s breaking out the Italian.”
