Third Person's POV:
After Ariana went from there all of the Romano brothers looked at Matteo.
Gabriel said, "Matteo what was all of that about? You don't behave like that. Then what happened?"
Matteo let out a sigh, "actually I feel like he has an ulterior motive to be close to her. That's why I didn't let him come near her but she is not understanding my point."
"And why do you think that?" Antonio asked.
"I just feel like that. I get that feeling. I can't explain it." Matteo said frustratedly.
"Then let's do a background check on him. Let me call my man." Leonard said. All of them nodded in agreement. He picked his phone and called their hacker and told him to do a background check on him and let him know in half an hour.
They all waited for half an hour anxiously. Matteo hasn't gone to school yet. Leonard's phone rang and he picked it up. It was from the hacker. He told him all of the information about him.
"Ok I got all the information. He is from Texas and he has a normal background. He has a clean background." Leonardo told them all. All of them went silent. Well it's good that he has a clean background so no worries that he has some ulterior motive towards Ariana but what about the feeling that Matteo has towards him.
"Then what should I do?" Matteo asked.
"Well first you will have to get forgiveness from Ariana. She is stubborn and also hurt that you are doing this to her friend that she has made for the first time here. Try to understand her point." Alfonso said.
Matteo nodded and went to school after bidding them goodbye. All of the brothers also went to their work.
After reaching school it was time for lunch as the time was late. He went directly to the cafeteria and saw that Ariana was sitting at the table with their friends. He took his lunch and went to the table and sat down next to her but she was ignoring him.
"Hey guys." "Hello Matteo. You are late today. Did something happen?" Gia asked.
"Yeah. Something came up so I wasn't able to come here early. Twinnie, this is for you." Matteo said, giving the chocolates to Ariana. Those were her favourite. On it was written sorry.
Ariana looked at it secretly and a hint of a smile appeared on her face after seeing this but she quickly maintained the cold expression like she doesn't care.
"Twinnie, please accept it. I am really sorry. I should not have said that to him. I will also say sorry to him but please talk to me. Please pretty please." Matteo said to her more like whined.
Ariana stood up and started walking away but she stopped suddenly and came back to the table and took the chocolates.
"I haven't forgiven you yet." And left. But Matteo was happy that she at least took the chocolates. He was sure he would earn her forgiveness quickly.
He also went away from there and went to find Elijah as he has to earn his forgiveness in order to get Ariana's forgiveness.
He found him and went towards him. "Hey man. I want to talk to you about something." Elijah looked at him and hesitantly nodded.
"Look Elijah I want to say sorry to you about how I spoke to you that day. Can you forgive me please?"
"But why did you say that?"
"Actually, as you know, we have found her after a long time, so I don't want anything to happen to her. That's why when I saw you talking to her and coming to our table also I flipped. I thought that you were trying to do something with her. Like you have some motive that's why I did what I did. Please forgive me."
"Ok I can understand. I also have a sister so I can understand your feelings. I forgive you but don't let it happen again."
"Thank you man. Now let's go."
"Where?"
"To Ariana. We have to let her know that you have forgiven me so that she forgives me also."
Elijah chuckled and went with him. They went together to Ariana and found her near the lockers. She was taking the books out.
"Hey Ariana. How are you?" Elijah asked Ariana. She was surprised to see that Elijah was talking to her.
"Oh hey Elijah. I am fine. What about you?"
"I am good." She then saw that Matteo was also with him. She raised her eyebrows at him.
"Actually I said sorry to him and he forgave me. You can ask him." Matteo said seeing that she was looking at him.
"Is it true?" Ariana asked.
"Yeah. It's all sorted now. You should also forgive him." Elijah said and then went from there leaving them alone to talk.
"I am sorry twinnie. Please talk to me now." Matteo said to Ariana pleadingly. Ariana looked at him for some time and then nodded her head.
"Ok. I am forgiving you this time but don't repeat it. I mean it Matteo."
Matteo repeatedly nodded his head. "Ok I promise but can you stop calling me Matteo please. It sounds weird from your mouth." He said grimacing.
Ariana smirked. "Ok twinnie." Matteo grinned. Then both of them went to the classes together.
*****
Ariana's POV:
I forgave twinnie because I can see that he really regrets what he did and he was genuine in his apology also. He asked for forgiveness from Elijah also. That shows that he really wanted forgiveness.
I went to my Italian class and sat at my usual seat. I saw that Elijah wasn't here yet. I took out my books and notebooks. Then I saw that Elijah came towards me and sat beside me.
He saw me looking at him and gave me a smile.
"So did you forgive him?" He asked me.
"Yeah. I can't stay mad at him for a long time."
He smiled. Then the class started. After the classes ended I went to the main gate of the school and saw that twinnie was there waiting for me.
"Hey. So how did the class go?" "It was good. Elijah sat with me today. I told him that I forgave you."
Matteo nodded. "Let's go home." We went home and went to my room to freshen up as everyone was at their work today.
Today I decided to go to Romano Enterprises to visit them with snacks for the evening. I know that papa and all of my brothers are there.
I went to the kitchen to prepare the snacks for them. I prepared some cookies, crackers, sandwiches and donuts.
I quickly got dressed. As I was going to the office I dressed for that.
I went to the kitchen and quickly packed the snacks and went to the company. It was my first time coming here.
I sat in the car and told the driver, "uncle please go to Romano Enterprises." He nodded and started the car. It was a half an hour drive to the company. We arrived there and I was amazed to look at the company. Wow! My papa and brothers did a very amazing job. I am very proud of them.
I went in and walked towards the reception area. I went to the reception and asked, "Excuse me."
The receptionist was a girl and she asked me, "yes mam. How may I help you?"
"Can you tell me on which floor is the cabin of Antonio Romano?" I asked her.
"Do you have an appointment mam?"
"No I don't."
"Then you can't go there without an appointment. Sir doesn't meet anyone without an appointment. Sorry mam."
"I understand but can you make an exception? I am his sister Ariana Romano and I am here to give all of them a surprise. Please let me in."
"I am sorry mam but if sir knew that I let anyone in without appointment he would fire me. My job is on the stake here and I get many people saying that they are his sister or girlfriend. Please understand me."
I sighed. Well I can't blame her. I didn't consider this aspect. Now what should I do? I have to tell one of them that I am here so that they will come and get me inside. Which one should I contact?
Yes. Let's call twinnie. I called him and he picked up my phone in two rings.
"Hello twinnie."
"Hello twinnie. What happened?"
"Actually where are you?"
"I am at the company as you know. Why?"
"Umm... Ok. First listen to me and go somewhere where no one is around and don't tell anyone that I called you."
"Ok. You are acting weird.....Ok I am here. Now tell me."
"Actually I am here at the company and the receptionist isn't letting me come up there. So come down fast and don't tell anyone."
"What! Ok I am coming."
I hung up the phone and waited for him. After a few minutes he was here and came up to me.
"Hey twinnie. What are you doing here?"
"I am here to surprise you all. Look, I made some snacks for all of you."
"Wow. Ok let's go." We started going there but Matteo stopped at the reception.
"Miss Brown next time when Ariana comes here let her in without stopping her. Ok?"
"Ok sir."
We went to the lift and got in. He pressed the top floor button and we went to the top floor. We went to the cabin that was Antonio fratello's. His name was written on the door on a nameplate. Matteo knocked on the door.
"Come in." He went in first. I was following behind him so that they couldn't see me. I was perfectly hidden behind him.
"Where did you go Matteo?" Tony fratello asked.
"Oh I went to get a surprise for you all."
"Surprise?" Ben fratello asked. Everyone was here in his cabin.
"Yes. So can anyone guess what it is?" Matteo asked them.
Everyone thought for some time but then couldn't come up with anything so they gave up.
"Ok so on the count of three the surprise will be revealed and I can bet that you all will be very happy." Everyone nodded in anticipation.
"One. Two. Three. Ta-da." Matteo stepped aside so that they all could see me. They were very surprised to see me.
"Surprise." I cheered. They stood up and hugged me one by one.
"Princess, how come you are here?" Papa asked me.
"Well I knew that you guys are all here today and I didn't come here till now. So I wanted to come here and see the place and you guys also. I also made snacks for all of us. See." I showed them the snacks.
They were all very happy to hear that I came here.
"Let's all have the snacks and tell me how it is." I said and took out the plates to serve them the snacks. All of them like different things so I made them according to their preferences.
"Princess it is so yummy. You are a very talented cook." Papa said. I smiled widely. I always feel happy when someone likes my cooking.
"Yes princess, these crackers are so good." Tony fratello said.
"And these donuts. Mmmm. They are to die for." Twinnie said.
"Guys try these sandwiches also." Alf fratello said.
"And these cookies too." Leo fratello said.
Ben fratello liked all of the dishes because he is a foodie. Raf fratello liked the crackers.
Basically they all liked the snacks very much. I was very happy.
"I am so happy that you guys like these snacks. Thank you very much." I beamed at them. They all smiled.
After having the snacks we were sitting and chit chatting when Leo fratello said, "Ariana how about a tour of the company?"
