Chapter two: choosing  Carol POV  I walk into the condo I am sharing with Valentina, “hello Vale, are you here?” I call for her as I enter, I hear shuffling before I see her coming towards me. “Oh my, you are here, come with me,” she takes my arms dragging me towards her room. “So, what’s up?” she then opens the door of her room and I am shock, she has about ten outfits lay in the bed. “What is all these?” “well I was thinking, why not go party theirs this place and it opens today.” She smiles at me so innocently, which she is not, it's only the smile that always gets to me, I can’t say no to her. “Fine, I will get lunch ready and then after we will get ready,” she jumps while doing circles, I chuckle as I walk out her room towards the kitchen.  I made some simple spaghetti with chicken, nothing special I can’t cook fancy foods, “food is ready!” I call for her, she is soon taking her seat. I serve the food and start eating, my phone rings and I pick up after I see its Michael weird he never calls. “Hello Michael is something wrong?” “what? No, not at all..... So how are you?” weird, “I am good just having lunch at home you?” he sights, “well I was giving a a case I guess, I have to marry the daughter of a Mexican capo, for the business.” oh poor Michael, he has always had a bad luck at love but this doesn’t mean he should marry into an arrange marriage. “Michael are you okay with this?” “I don’t know, to be honest I thought I would marry the love of my life just like Alondra and Adriano you know. But I have to do this, for the family, I have no choice,” I feel bad for him, I just can’t see how this will make him happy. “Have you seen a picture of her at least are you meeting her before the weeding?” “Slow down, all I know is a nickname and I don’t even know which is her, the capo has two children a guy and a girl.” “So what are the nicknames?” “One is Pato, and the Other is Boni, which one do you think is her?” “I don’t know but I do know that Pato means duck, do you think they call males ducks or females?”   After a while I hang up, heading to take a shower to get ready for this place I am being taken by my roommate and friend. After my shower I wrap a towel around my body then walk to her room, “so which one is my outfit?” “Why don’t you try these three,” I do as she said, the first outfit is a red dress tight around my waits that flows on my hips and down. Strapless, it reaches mid-thigh, the second is a sparkling purple crop top, and high waist skinny blue jeans. And the third is a nice yellow blouse one shoulder, with a grey skirt mid-thigh. “Well then which one do I take?” She looks at me again, “I don’t know the dress or maybe this third outfit also looks good.” Choosing an outfit is always hard for me because even though I am short I have long legs, and I don’t have big breast. Yeah sure I am skinny, with a small waist, and nice butt or so I am told but I still don’t see anything interesting in me.             Back in Italy  Michael POV  After my talk with Carol I kind of feel much better, I walk to the office to see that Adriano is reading something I clear my throat. “What’s up man?” “I was thinking you know about the whole deal with the Mexican capo and s**t, I don’t know what to do.” He sights, “I know how you feel, but look this is my responsibility as a Rossi, so if you choose not to go with it, I will take full responsibility.” “What do you mean is your responsibility as a Rossi, then what I am not a Rossi? I was f*****g born in this family!” he is like my brother we can always talk about things but right now I feel like he is just being and ass. We are all part of the Rossi’s Italian mafia which means I am a Rossi even if it's not by blood.  “You know that is not what I mean, all I am saying is if I wasn’t so in love and married I would do it, but because I am the boss, the head of this family. I am the one looking for all of us,” I sight now I feel like an ass he is right. If he could he would go for it not caring what he would loose and I am doubting instead of accepting for the good of the family. “I am sorry man, I accept the alliance requirements,” he gives me a bro hug as he pads my back. “Thanks man, you are doing the right thing,” I just really hope I am choosing the right thing to do here.   Two hours later and we are having a meeting with Adriano, Alberto, Luke and my father, “I chose to accept, I will marry the daughter of the Mexican capo.” “Thanks son, I am so proud of you,” I smile at him, sure he is proud he has never said the opposite. Not even when I would piss him of, Father is the best, “well now all we have to do is make the contract for them to sign. The only problem is you Michael have to choose the name of the one you are agreeing to marry.” “What do you mean, I agree to marry the girl,” I don’t understand what Alberto is indicating. “Yes, I know unfortunately we are to meet with Jose Adolfo Moreno tomorrow, and by then we have to have the contract ready. Now I will leave you two to it,” Alberto and everyone else except for Adriano and me leaves the office, what am I supposed to do know? “Now what?” “Again sorry man, I guess you have to choose who as in what nickname to put in the contract.” I sight again, “well Carol said pato means duck, so the question is which nickname sounds more feminine, a duck or boni?”
