Cam's POV

"Dominic, our boy is growing up," replied my mom with fake tears. Then, my dad and Tosca did the same thing.

"Being a little, too dramatic over there. Seriously?"

"No. We all wondered when you were going to ask Cocoa. Congratulations, Cam and Cocoa. I'm thrilled you two are now together."

"Thank you, Mrs. Eli," answered Cocoa.

"Thanks, Dad."

"Hmm, could there be a double wedding in the works?" My dad says.

"Dominic!!!" Uncle Val yelled.

"Dad!! I don't want to rush what Cocoa and I just have."

"Yeah, Dominic. Leave Cam and Cocoa alone." Mom must have kicked dad because he screamed, "Ouch!"

"Listen everyone, tomorrow let's spend the day in Milan? I'll go see when we can fly out. It's a short flight," Uncle Val says.

Cocoa's POV

"Cocoa, you all will love shopping in Milan. Nana Aida and Donatella know all the best places to shop. And, you don't need to spend anything. Uncle Val, dad, Nonno Luc and Emiliano take care of it."

"I better wear my flat shoes then."

"The plane leaves 9:00 am. So, we will need to leave at least by 8:15 to make it to the airport. The flight itself is 2 hours. Would you all like to stay or fly back? We can start back to the limo now." After Uncle Val said that, we started our walk. Cam and I held hands.

"Let's stay there because Val, Dominic, Luc, Cam, and Emiliano are going to need all the strength they can muster after we finish shopping. We can even shop a little on Monday too," Nonna Donatella says.

We had two limos that drove us back to the house. "Cam, let me know if Val or Dominic teases you," Nonno Luc says. When Nonno Luc talks, everyone listens. He is sweet, but don't mess with his family.

Cam answered, "Yes, Nonno."

The plane landed safely in Milan. I am definitely going to buy some outfits for my senior year at university. We stepped off the plane to two, limos waiting for us.

"One is for the ladies, and one is for the guys. Alyshea, Cocoa, Lalita, and Leilani, these are for you. You're my family now. It's from myself, Luc, Emilio, and Dominic."

We opened the envelopes. The guys gave us............. "$10,000 credit cards in our name?!"

We squeezed each of them to pieces. "Thank you!!!!"

"You're welcome, ladies. I don't have kids, so I think of you all as my daughters. And, thank you for allowing me into your family."

"Thank you, Uncle Val. Who are we to tell mom what she can do? You make mom happy, and that's all that matters."

"Let's get to shopping!" Lei blurts out as we get in the limo.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cam sent me a text while we drove away from the airport.

"Tomorrow, no Tosca, Lei, or Lalita. Just the two of us. And, wear comfy shoes."

He even put a heart emoji in the text. Aww, how sweet.

The first store we went to was Prada. I always wanted to splurge on a nice perfume. I sure am going to today. They had many amazing scents, but I chose Prada Candy and Prada Infusion D'Iris. I love them both.

I also bought a bag and a pair of sunglasses.

"Ladies, let's take a break and go to the store next door," Nonna Donatella says.

We went to a Godiva Cafe for coffee and pastries.

Eh, it was okay. I like Starbucks better. I did buy some chocolate, covered strawberries for Cam.

After the cafe, we went to Dolce and Gabbana. I didn't really see anything that I liked, but Lei and Lalita did.

"Since we are staying until tomorrow, there is a mall we can go shopping that is not too far from here. The other mall we can save for tomorrow," Nonna Aida suggested.

"I won't be able to make it with you. Cam and I are spending the day together tomorrow."

Leilani and Lalita started giggling. "Wait until the both of you start dating. Ha!"

We hopped in the limo and made our way to the mall.

****************************************

Cam's POV

"Okay, so the plan for tomorrow is to fly to Venice. You and Cocoa go one way, and I will take Alyshea the other way. We'll then meet back up and fly back to Tuscany."

"Sounds like a plan to me, Uncle Val."

I'm not really a shopper, so we just walked around. My dad, grandfathers, and Uncle Val gave me dating advice. Not that I really needed it. But this is Cocoa we are talking about. So, I listened and took it all in.

"The ladies are meeting us at Solo Mio's for dinner. That is where we are going now."

Within 15 more minutes, we had arrived. "We'll go inside for our table." Nonno Luc and Emilio went inside.

Shortly after they did, the lady's limo pulled up. "Since when did you start opening doors?" Tosca says as she steps out.

"Ha, ha. Nonno Luc and Emilio went inside." Once everyone stepped out, then went inside as well.

We didn't have to wait long, about 5 minutes. Then, we were seated. Of course, I sat next to Cocoa.

"How was shopping?" Dad asked.

"We had a blast. I bought some things for university too. And, I got something for Cam. Well, this one I had to bring in the restaurant." Cocoa handed me a gift bag. I opened it and saw chocolate, covered strawberries.

"I'll save these for after dinner. Thank you."

"You're welcome. I got them from the Godiva Cafe we took a break at. It was a box of eight strawberries. But, uh, I ate two, and they are delicious. The strawberries are sweet."

"Sweets from my sweet."

"Oh, gag." Tosca pretended like she was gagging. Everyone else chuckled.

"Shut up, Tosca."

We ordered dinner. And, with our dinner, Cocoa, Tosca, and I were able to have a glass of wine. Yes! Dad recommended the type of wine to have with our meals. We each had a glass of Pinot Noir. I enjoyed it.

I didn't have dessert because I have the chocolate, covered strawberries. Nonno Luc paid for the meal. Then, we left the restaurant. I grabbed Cocoa's hands so she could ride with me.

"You're sharing these strawberries with me. You get three, and I get three."

"Hey, I already ate two. So, I get two and you get six."

"Fine." I took one of the strawberries out and fed Cocoa.

"Val, look at our kids. Is this the Camdyn Alessandro Calabro that we know?" Then, he put his hand on my forehead.

"Dad, I'm fine. This is a mature Cam." We need to get out of this limo fast.

Thankfully, we pulled up to the villa our families share when in Milan.

(Imagine that it is evening.)

Cocoa's POV

"I hope we are doing quite a bit of walking tomorrow. I feel like I gained 5 pounds."

"Yes, we will do some walking."

We stepped out of the limo. I had to get my bag from the other limo, and the other gift I bought for Cam.

"Alyshea and Cocoa, don't worry about your shopping bags. We'll take those back with us to Tuscany. Tosca, show Alyshea, Cocoa, Lei, and Lalita to their rooms."

Mom replied, "Thanks, Dominic."

"Okay, dad. Follow me."

When I opened the door to the room, I instantly crashed on the bed.

"Good night, world." I'm going to sleep.

Monday, August 7th, 2017

I wore one of the outfits I bought yesterday.

It was a short flight to Venice - 3 hours. So, we are almost in Venice.

"You are taking me on a gondola ride, got it? Let's do that first."

"Got it."

The flight attendant said something in Italian. Yeah, I'm not fully there yet. But I am learning how to speak Italian.

"Buckle up, everyone. We are approaching Milan." We buckled up like Uncle Val said, and then we landed.

Once we walked off the plane, we saw...............

"Uncle Val, please, oh, please tell me I am not dreaming?!" Cam says as he is about to faint.

"Nope, it's not a dream. First dates should be special. Now, you have a special vehicle to match."

"My dreams have come true!! I get to drive a Lamborghini! Take that, Tosca." Cam started jumping up and down.

"Now Cam, I know I don't have to tell you to be careful?"

"Oh, no, no, no. I will absolutely be careful. Wait until the guys hear about this!! I need a picture of this." Cam gave me his phone to take a picture of him by the Lamborghini.

"Hey, I want a picture of this too." I handed mom my phone, and Cam's to Uncle Val. I'm not ready to call him dad yet, and he understands. He is the perfect one for mom.

Cam and I stood in front of the car, and I stole a kiss on his cheek while mom snapped the picture.

"Get going, kiddos. Be back here by 11:00 pm. We'll get back to Tuscany in the wee hours of the morning."

Uncle Val threw Cam the keys. We looked at each other and took off for the Lamborghini. "I am so going to enjoy this day. Gondola ride here we come. And, I'm paying, right?"

"Yes, ma'am." Off we go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cam had a valet park the car. He said something in Italian that sounded hot.

Once he was done, we laced our fingers together and started walking towards the gondola ride. I am so going to video this.

We took a few steps, then Cam heard someone calling his name.

Both of us turned around and we saw some chick that I could tell was jealous because I was with Cam.

"Cam, it's good to see you again." She tried to hug him, but I wasn't having it.

Cam just shook her hand. "It's good to see you too, Giovanna. Wait until I tell Tosca I saw you. Giovanna, this is my girlfriend, Cocoa."

"It's nice to meet you, Giovanna." That's right, he said girlfriend. We already know each other, so why waste time. She didn't want to shake my hand. But, did I care? Absolutely not. I have what she will never get - Camdyn Alessandro Calabro.

First, people tried to take Landry from me. Now, they are trying with Cam. Nice try trick. We have been apart for almost ten years. Cam is mine, and I will NEVER let him go.
