Chapter Invitation
Alessandro and Gabriel walked fast towards the dining room, as they were getting near they could hear the clinking sounds of the cutlery and chirping voice of his sons. 'They have too much stamina for talking' Gabriel commented playfully, and he chuckled agreeing with his friend.
'They sure do' recalling the scene that happened in the evening when everyone from the house were on their works and only his family was enjoying their free time and he made his little beans pissed off after kissing their mom on lips despite them raising the objection.
'Good evening everyone' greeting the family they sat down on their assigned chairs. Logan and Ethan huffed watching their father taking seat right across to them. Knowing very well that they are still angry on him, he pursed his lips to hide his smile from them and turned to look at their mother, who was glaring at him and giving him message through her eyes to not irk them anymore.
Shrugging his shoulder, he shifted back his gaze on his kids, who had stopped eating and crossed their hands on their chest, glaring at him. Instead of saying anything in response, he winked at them intentionally teasing them. 'Has something happened behind?' the tension in the air was immediately noticed by every person in the room and seeing the commotion going on through eyes between the eldest Martini and his son, they all were curious about what is going on that they are not aware of.
Angelo Martini could be the only person in the room who has the power and can question Alessandro. Autumn's eyes widened and she placed her hand over his under the table, giving it a squeeze. Taking this as an opportunity, he intertwined their hands and tightened his grip on her hand.
'Gran pa, daddy kiss mommy on lips' while they both were busy in assuring each other, their kids beat them and left them extremely shock by uttering the fact in front of everyone.
'Woah' Theodore and Gabriel laughed out loudly, and Natalie pressed her lips tightly to hide her smile, whereas Autumn has turned red due to shyness, however, Alessandro gave a deathly glare to his friend and brother and once their laughter died at the daggers his eyes were shooting at them, he turned to look at the twins sternly.
'What's bad in that?' although Angelo Martini found the outburst of his grandson funny, but he remained composed and questioned from them, purpose was to know that reason.
'Bad? He can't kiss mommy on lips. Mommy is ours' Ethan was still mad at him.
The quite laughs echoed in the room, Autumn found herself stuck in the most difficult situation. She wanted to scold them but the moment was not right and they were not looking at her at all, that she can use the eye contact to ask them to keep quite.
'Yours?' Alessandro was playing along with them. He was enjoying teasing his sons despite Autumn whispering to him to stop.
Alessandro lifted their intertwined hands upward to show that to their boys and wiggle his brow at them, Logan and Ethan's jaw drop in shock and sadness.
'She is ours' getting up on their chairs, they yelled at their father. This time even Angelo Martini couldn't stop himself from laughing. The expressions his grandsons gave were beyond explanation. Jealousy and anger mixed in their eyes and were ready to fight with their dad.
'Father and son duo is incredible' he remarked looking at his son, who rolled his eyes, getting his son was mocking him for the days when he was kid and always punch him whenever he would kiss his mom. His kids have got jealousy from him. 'No granpa! We are not dough, daddy is the dough' they said with annoyed expression, angry at every person in the room as at their response, the loud laughter erupted in the room, even Autumn was also laughing, Natalie wiped the corner of her eyes.
'Today was the best dinner of my life' she said to Autumn, who shook her head, looking at her love and babies.
'Granpa' Ethan's eyes were filled with water. Angelo Martini sighed and nodded his head.
'Alessandro, you will not kiss to their mother in front of them' Alessandro squinted his eyes when he was half way to the sentence, Angelo rolled his eyes and changed the phrase quickly.
'Fine' ending the conversation he agreed so that everyone can finish their meal.
'Since everyone is here, I want to tell that we are invited by Peterson and his family for the dinner' Angelo eyed his eldest son while informing to all.
All of them exchanged glances with each other, not happy at all with the invitation.
'Is it necessary to go?' Theodore was the first to speak up.
'Yes. We know what their intentions are, but we can't let them know that we are aware. Let's play along with them and pretend we are fool and they have all the smartness' shoving the small piece of steak in his mouth he gave his opinion, which leaves no ground for anyone to object.
'Who will be joining in dinner?' Alessandro asked, looks deep in thought.
'He said to bring my family, and we all are a family. All of you plan your schedule for tomorrow accordingly. I want all of you there, okay?' they nodded their heads, despite how much they hated to go there.
