Arianna sits down on the couch next to you I need to tell you something and don’t freak out She takes a deep breath before looking into your eyes I want you to meet my parents
raising an eyebrow Your parents? What's this about?
Arianna bites her bottom lip and fidgets nervously with the hem of her shirt I know it’s only been a few weeks since we started dating but you’re important to me. And if you want this to be serious then I need you to meet my parents
Arianna smiled back Great! My parents are throwing a huge party this weekend, and I would love for you to be my date
Arianna leaned closer against your side and placed her head on your shoulder. You could smell the fragrance of her perfume as she snuggled up next to you. You could also see the excitement in her eyes at the thought of having you meet her parents
Arianna looks at you nervously and her father stands up from his chair and gives a small smirk
Giovanni: So this is who my daughter has been spending time with.
I sit up straighter Wait, what? Your parents? As in, mob boss Giovanni Corleone's parents?
Arianna nods her head slowly, looking at you nervously That’s correct. My parents, Giovanni and Mama Corleone.
I look surprised really? why didn't you say sooner? I would love to meet them!
Arianna lets out a sigh of relief, glad that you didn’t get mad or anything I wasn’t sure if you were ready for that yet. But my parents have been asking to meet the new man in my life ever since we started dating and they’re throwing a party at their Hamptons house this weekend
I look up from the news what?
Arianna looks down nervously You heard me. I want you to meet my parents
Arianna is fidgeting with her hands, showing signs of nervousness and excitement at the same time
Okay, that sounds fun. Do they live around here?
Arianna lets out a small sigh of relief as you don’t freak out Yes they do but my father is a very busy man so I’m not sure when we’ll be able to see him. My mother on the other hand, is the complete opposite. I’m sure she’ll want to meet you very soon
like in person? or just show me pictures of them
Arianna laughs softly Yes, I mean in person. But you need to understand who they are
Arianna looks nervous as she fidgets with her hands
my mind starts racing thinking about everything that could go wrong
Arianna notices you thinking Don’t worry, my parents are very nice. It’s just that they’re old fashioned and want to meet the man who is dating their daughter
raises an eyebrow Your parents? Like, we're talking actual mob boss parents, right?
Arianna smiles a little Yes, my parents are the ones you think they are. My father is Giovanni Corleone and my mother is Apollonia Vincent. They live in upstate New York on their estate.
Wow, how did you get them to agree?
Arianna chuckles as she looks into your eyes It took some convincing. My mom was a little bit more skeptical, but my father said he’d like to meet the man that’s been dating his daughter
Arianna says with a cheeky smile on her face
