Alina’s (the customer) point of view
I've never been this scared. As the door opened I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. If Donatella hadn't been holding my hand I probably would have bolted. The woman i'm assuming was Donatella’s mother answered the door. She smiled brightly at me, “Hello sweetie, im Donatella’s mother ,Diana,” I shook her hand, “Hello mam, nice to meet you. Im Alina.” Her smile just got brighter, “Come on in.” I walked in looking as calm as possible. Suddenly a blur of brown hair and pink fabric launched itself at me. Thanks to my martial arts training I caught it in mid air and angled myself so I wouldn't fall over. It took me a minute to realize the squirming blur I caught was a small child. She attached herself to me by wrapping her arm and legs around me. Donatella’s mother looked at me grinding, “I'm surprised you caught her. Most people don't make it that far.” The small child I was holding squealed and yelled into my ear, “Are you Donatella’s girlfriend!” I smiled down at her, “Yes.” She squealed even louder, “And you are?” “Im Donatella’s big sister, Mia!” I glanced at Donatella. Big sister? She leaned in and whispered into my ear, “She doesn't believe im older than her. I even showed her my drivers license and still nothing.” I laughed, “That's adorable.” Her mother tried to pull Mia off me but the little girl was going nowhere. “It’s alright mam, I can hold her.” She sighed, “Alright, but if you get tired I can pry her off.” She nodded toward the kitchen, “Alright I made lunch let's eat it while it's still hot.” I adjusted Mia onto my hip, “Yes mam” As we sat around the kitchen table Mia still ,sitting in my lap, looked up at me, "The way you flipped that guy over was awesome!" I looked at Donatella confused. She had a guilty look on her face, "Someone took a video of the smackdown at work and posted it. I may or my not have sent them the link....."
