Stumbling out of the car Lisa held a hand to her mouth. "I think I'm going to be sick." She mumbled.

"Chicka, are you alright?" She heard the Spaniard question. Holding her other hand up she waved.

"Yep, just fine. I'm alright." She said as she stood up and turned to face the two men. "That was a fun ride." She said mustering a smile.

"I'm glad you liked it, Bella." Romano grinned as he walked over to with her bag. "You're lucky that my Fratello didn't drive, he's a reckless driver." He said with a smile as he walked up to the door.

Lisa almost blanched at the thought, there's someone worse than him? Looking at Antonio she saw him nod solemnly. "His brother is much more reckless." He shook his head as though he was remembering a past experience.

"Oh, then it was a great ride!" She exclaimed feeling relieved that it had been Romano who drove and not his brother. Looking up she saw took in the house, surprised that she had not noticed it earlier, she gaped at its beauty.

"It's beautiful." She breathed. Stepping back she tilted her head. "The architecture is stunning, this house must have been built in the seventeenth century, but it's in perfect condition!"

Lisa could have gone on and on, except she looked at Antonio who was trying not laugh. "Sorry..." She mumbled, "I tend to babble when I get excited. It's just that this, is so magnificent."

"Si, it is." Looking up he saw Romano folding his arms. "We can admire the architecture later, but it's time for you to meet Romano's brother."

"Why, oh..." That's right, she'd come for a job. "Focus Lisa, you're not here to gawk at beautiful men, er mansions." Blushing at that thought she didn't realize that she had said that aloud.

"So, those are cool statues over there." She mumbled hoping she'd think that Antonio thought she meant the statues. Looking up she saw him smirking.

"After you, there are better views inside." He said with a wink.

Standing back Lisa watched as he walked inside. "He totally heard that." She bemoaned her awkwardness as she gripped her camera bag and followed the Spaniard inside.

Holding on tightly to her camera bag she stared up at the ceiling. It's even more beautiful on the inside. Clenching her fists together she resisted the urge to take pictures of the beautiful paintings that decorated the halls. Suddenly out of the blue she saw a blur of red and blue race towards her. Stepping back her eyes widened when she realized that it actually wasn't a blur, it was a man with auburn hair, and closed eyes. Why are his eyes closed? She thought tilting her head.

"Bella, it's so nice to meet you!" He said with a wide smile. "My name is Feliciano."

He's just a sweet, charmer. "It's nice to meet you to!" Lisa said as she extended her hand for a handshake. Taking her hand he promptly kissed the back of it. Blushing Lisa pulled it back, "Um, thank you."

"Ve~ You're so sweet. I'll show you to your room." He said as he took her by the hand and practically raced out of the room with her trailing behind. "Here you are." He said as he opened the door revealing a rather large room overlooking the sea.

Walking past him Lisa could not contain her joy. "It's breathtaking." Setting her bag down she turned back to the man who was standing with his arms crossed with a big smile.

"You make me laugh, Bella. I like you!" He said with a big smile.

"Why are your eyes closed?" Lisa blurted out before she had a chance to say anything. "Sorry... I uh-"

"That's okay. They're not always closed." Opening his eyes he revealed them to be a beautiful amber color. "Now come on, Bella. We have a lot of work to do!"
