She'd lounged most of the day in bed while Luc had been out of the house on business, a rare, but dreaded occasion for her. She didn't like knowing she was by herself - of course there were the employees, but she felt most comfortable with him around. She'd wandered downstairs now, in a pair of Luc's drawstring pyjama pants cinched up around her narrow waist, a white tank top and a fleece zip up hoodie left open. She knew she could get whatever she wanted from the kitchen with just a word, but sometimes she missed doing things for herself, so she found her way into the kitchen, pulling open the door.

Natassia had always been the same way and right now she was rummaging through a cabinet, muttering in italian. (NT) -- Tassia, 15:11:16 01/21/04 Wed
She jumped with a little start when she heard the foreign voice, and considered running away. She'd never been alone with either one of his parents, and her stomach twisted in knots. Her hunger, of course, beat her to the chase, and she pulled out some sandwich meat, mayonaise and an apple before heading for the cabinent where she was, asking for bread in Italian. (NT) -- Tris, 15:13:10 01/21/04 Wed
She glanced over her shoulder, her eyes widening. "I thought he was making you up!" She exclaimed, wild hair being pulled back into a pony tail. (NT) -- Tassia, 15:14:19 01/21/04 Wed
She blushed just a little bit, unusually nervous, and resisting the urge to break into a hearty laugh. Instead she put on a huge smile - she wasn't that scary. "Uh.. well.. the last time I checked, I wasn't his imaginary friend." (NT) -- Tris, 15:16:16 01/21/04 Wed
She rolled her eyes. "Well, you never know with Luc, he's always talkin' about something that doesn't make sense, I wouldn't put imagionary friends past him." (NT) -- Tassia, 15:17:36 01/21/04 Wed
She laughed a little bit at that, and raised a finely shaped brow. "I've sorta noticed that.." (NT) -- Tris, 15:21:59 01/21/04 Wed
She smiled a little, handing over the bread. "He's a good boy though, he really is." (NT) -- Tassia, 15:23:06 01/21/04 Wed
"That I noticed too." She offered a bit of a smile, clutching the bread against her chest a little nervously before she realized she was squishing it. "Um.. do you want a sandwich?" (NT) -- Tris, 15:24:25 01/21/04 Wed
"Sure, I was just trying to find something to eat 'round here." (NT) -- Tassia, 15:25:27 01/21/04 Wed
She went back over to the huge wooden island in the middle of the kitchen and opened up the bag of bread, acutely concious of herself. "So you're relieved to discover that I'm real?" (NT) -- Tris, 15:27:25 01/21/04 Wed
"Well, it is nice to make sure he's not going crazy,but really, you should emerge from whereever you hide at sometimes." (NT) -- Tassia, 15:28:37 01/21/04 Wed
She continued to work on the sandwiches, setting them up on two small plates, and sliding one over to her. "Uh.. yeah.. I'm usually at the stables, I guess." (NT) -- Tris, 15:32:45 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded. "Not a bad place to be, Luc's got lovely horses, but thats all thanks to his father.Lucio took pride in the stables.." (NT) -- Tassia, 15:33:52 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded a little at that, and took a bite of her sandwich, swallowing before she responded. "Yes, he's a good horseman, but he doesn't join me very often." (NT) -- Tris, 15:36:34 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded again. "He's a busy man, he's lucky you understand that." (NT) -- Tassia, 16:03:18 01/21/04 Wed
She looked down at her sandwich with a little smile. "Of course, I would love for him to be here with me twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, but I'm sure we would kill each other first." (NT) -- Tris, 16:04:52 01/21/04 Wed
She smiled, nodding. "It took me awhile to get used to it too when Lucio and I were first married. Its hard to deal with a family that is someone's life." (NT) -- Tassa, 16:06:45 01/21/04 Wed
"Well, I don't think this is anything so serious as marriage, but it was a little awkward at first, to be here without him.. I really felt like I was imposing." She still did now, especially with his parents here. (NT) -- Tris, 20:21:15 01/21/04 Wed
She let out a soft breath, shaking her head. "Let me tell you something Tristyn, if Luciano wasn't planning on marriage sometime, you would have not have been with him this long." (NT) -- Tassia, 20:24:47 01/21/04 Wed
She just raised a brow at that, and chewed on her food thoughtfully for a second, her stomach in knots. She'd always vowed to never be the little girl who just wanted to get married and have babies, but Luc had made her a new person. She pressed her lips together, and offered a bit of a smile - the conversation was too heavy for her, but she couldn't think of anything to change the subject to. (NT) -- Tris, 20:28:06 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded as if ending the conversation, going back to eating her sandwich. (NT) -- Tassia, 20:28:57 01/21/04 Wed
The silence, too, ate at her, so she tried again. "So your visit has been nice? Fairly uneventful?" (NT) -- Tris, 20:30:35 01/21/04 Wed
She wasn't sure what she meant by visit exactly, this was their home, The Italy trip had been just that, a trip. "Yes...." She tilted her head, a little confused. (NT) -- Tassia, 20:33:13 01/21/04 Wed
She realized her obvious err with the hesitance in the woman's voice, and felt like she was going to throw up. "Right.. I'm sorry.. I'm nervous." (NT) -- Tris, 20:39:03 01/21/04 Wed
She laughed at that, shaking her head. "Don't worry about it, there's nothing to be nervous about." (NT) -- Tassia, 20:40:03 01/21/04 Wed
She couldn't help but stare at her half eaten sandwich - no longer hungry. She finally looked back at the other woman with a bit of a brow raised, trying to revive the humor in the situation. "Well, it's not really you that scares me.. it's him." She spoke as though it was a big conspirational secret. (NT) -- Tris, 20:44:35 01/21/04 Wed
She grinned lightly. "Lucio?" She questioned, her eyes teasing. (NT) -- Tassia, 20:46:07 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded firmly and vigorously at that. "I think it must be something with the men in this family - I'm sure my Luc would have been scary had I been in the right mindset to be scared by him." (NT) -- Tris, 20:47:56 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded. "They are a little intimadating, but honey, in their line of work, they have to be." (NT) -- Tassia, 20:53:14 01/21/04 Wed
She had never ever really questioned the type of business that Luc did - just mostly assumed that it was the same sort of thing that her mother's family did. She crossed her arms over her stomach and nodded. "I suppose so.. I don't think Luc was in the right mindset to be intimidating the night I met him." She leaned close, cocking her head a little bit. "But his father doesn't hate me, does he?" (NT) -- Tris, 20:56:02 01/21/04 Wed
"How did you meet him?" She questioned, always the romantic. (NT) -- Tassia, 21:07:39 01/21/04 Wed
She didn't want to divulge any details about her former life - the fact that they were supposed to have a couple of nights of fun and then be through. "Well.. we just met randomly and had a couple of dates.. and then there was some.. trouble.. in my apartment, and.. I couldn't stay there, and I had nowhere else to go, and so I ended up here." It wasn't all that romantic, to be honest. (NT) -- Tris, 21:09:32 01/21/04 Wed
It was to her. "It was just strange..." She wasn't blind to her sons womanizing ways. "I knew you had to be someone special to last more then a week." (NT) -- Tassia, 21:11:35 01/21/04 Wed
"At first, I certainly didn't want to stick around much longer than that.. but to be honest, he's made me a new person." She shrugged - that was as simple as it went. "I couldn't understand why he wanted to be so kind to me.. or why I was inclined to feel so much for him." (NT) -- Tris, 21:14:41 01/21/04 Wed
She shrugged a little. "You know...sometimes Love does funny things. Lucio was supposed to be investigating my family, and then a one night type deal got me pregnant with Luc..." (NT) -- Tassia, 21:16:06 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded a bit at that, "See, I was never in on that... big deal with the families - I know my mother's family is big into the business, but I never really saw any of it." (NT) -- Tris, 21:17:55 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded. "Thats how it usually is, the females not greatly involved." (NT) -- Tassia, 21:20:34 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded a little bit. "Did you ever worry about your husband? Like.. when he wasn't with you?" (NT) -- Tris, 21:22:40 01/21/04 Wed
"All the time, I still do. It's not an easy life they lead, it's dangerous, and it's scary, but it's what they were born into. Its in their blood" (NT) -- Tassia, 21:25:20 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded again at that, pursing her lips. "I used to have nightmares about it.. before we were even serious, really.. about bad things happening to Luc." (NT) -- Tris, 21:26:50 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded slightly, her brow furrowed. "Have you talked to him about it? I am a firm believer in a womans intuition." (NT) -- Tassia, 21:27:50 01/21/04 Wed
"We never really discussed it.. not in depth. I told him I was worried, he said he was fine, and then we tried to forget about it." Truthfully, they had only really discussed the reason she'd left his bed, and how they could remedy that. (NT) -- Tris, 21:29:43 01/21/04 Wed
She shook her head. "Not a good thing, you need to discuss things, even fears." (NT) -- Tassia, 21:31:49 01/21/04 Wed
She pursed her lips a little and then nodded, looking up. "I never wanted to give my heart up to him for that reason. " (NT) -- Tris, 21:34:40 01/21/04 Wed
"That you might lose him?" She quesitoned, her head tilted curiously. (NT) -- Tassia, 21:35:42 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded a bit, but didn't look up, using a butter knife to slice the apple she'd withdrawn from the fridge. "Yeah." (NT) -- Tris, 21:38:16 01/21/04 Wed
"Shame to not revel in life and love while you have it." (NT) -- Tassia, 21:39:39 01/21/04 Wed
That was a good point, and she nodded, taking that in - she still had an occasional nightmare, but she'd begun to brush them off. "You're right." (NT) -- Tris, 21:43:53 01/21/04 Wed
She smiled. "I know, I lived as the wife of the don for awhile, it's scary." (NT) -- Tassia, 21:45:50 01/21/04 Wed
She knew, because regardless of the fact that she wasn't his wife, she was always scared. "Even days like this, when he's just out around doing business bother me." (NT) -- Tris, 21:47:38 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded a little. "It comes to a point when you just have to hold onto faith, and confidence in the abilities of your man." (NT) -- Tassia, 21:48:47 01/21/04 Wed
"My mother always went on about the strength of the women in our family, but I was never quite sure what she was talking about until now." (NT) -- Tris, 21:49:46 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded. "yes, My family was quite close to you back in the day." (NT) -- Tassia, 21:54:11 01/21/04 Wed
She shook her head. "I don't remember." Of course - she didn't remember anything, because after her mother had had her, they'd lived off on their own, alone, with little contact with her mother's family. They were good for occasional visits and polite hellos, but she wasn't as close to her family as he was to his. (NT) -- Tris, 21:56:16 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded. "I know, Luc asked me about you and I couldn't tell him much." (NT) -- Tassia, 21:58:49 01/21/04 Wed
"No, I guess I'm sorta the branch on the family tree that got forgotten.. or rather left out." She had long ago come to terms that she wasn't pure like the rest of them, and that she would never be one of them - but it still bothered her a little that Luc's family may view that as a flaw. (NT) -- Tris, 22:02:00 01/21/04 Wed
She shook her head. "Silly isn't it? the way these families think sometimes." (NT) -- Tassia, 22:03:44 01/21/04 Wed
That little comment put her more at ease than anything else she had said to her. She nodded a little bit. "My mother was done an injustice.. and as for me.. I don't feel like they owe me anything.. in fact, I wouldn't take anything from them." (NT) -- Trids, 22:05:03 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded. "Family is very important, but sometimes the ties are severed to violently to be restored...." (NT) -- Tassia, 22:06:20 01/21/04 Wed
Contrary to what she had previously believed about his mother, this woman was treating her like an equal, and she found herself truly appreciating that. "When I have my own family.. it will be different." (NT) -- Tris, 22:10:32 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded. "I am sure you will, we all try to learn from the mistakes of our own pasts." (NT) -- Tassia, 22:11:59 01/21/04 Wed
She nodded a little bit - she certainly had already learned from her mistakes. She looked up and offered the woman a smile. "You really have an amazing son, Mrs. Santino." (NT) -- Tris, 04:31:31 01/22/04 Thu
"Please, call me Tassia, and yes, Luc is a special person." She tilted her head. "He has his rough spots, but generally, he's a very compassionate person..." (NT) -- Tassia, 07:38:07 01/22/04 Thu
