That day, Alessandro is walking around the city to see something he can buy for souvenir when suddenly;

"There you are. I've been looking for you around" Alessandro turned around and saw Kelley O'Hara.

"Look, Miss. I'm really not in the mood to fight with you right now" said Alessandro.

"I know. That's why I'm here to ask you to go for a lunch with me later on" replied Kelley. Alessandro was shocked.

"You're kidding, right?" asked Alessandro.

"No, I'm not. Please. This is all I asked from you. I swear I will leave you alone after this" replied Kelley. Alessandro sighed.

"Very well then" said Alessandro.

"Great. Give your number and I'll tell you the location" replied Kelley. Alessandro nodded before gave his number to Kelley.

"Okay, I already text you my number. See you later" said Kelley. Alessandro just nodded before Kelley walked away.

"Is it Kelley O'Hara?" asked Alisha that just came by.

"Yeah" replied Alessandro.

"What did she wants?" asked Alisha.

"Just asked me to have lunch with her" replied Alessandro.

"So, did you accept it?" asked Alisha.

"Yeah. I can't find any reason to say no to it" replied Alessandro.

"That's good. Maybe she wants to sort things out and burry the hatched" said Alisha.

"Well, who knows. Maybe she wants to trick me or something" replied Alessandro.

"It's okay. Just hope for the best but prepare for the worst" said Alisha. Alessandro just nodded.

"But I'm still wondering why is she wants to see me. All this time, she always mocking and insult me and my mother" said Alessandro.

"That's why you need to go and meet her. Only then, you'll know it" replied Alisha.

"This better be good or I'll lose hope to make things better between me and her" said Alessandro.

"It'll be fine. I'm sure of it" replied Alisha.

Later on;

Alessandro walked into the restaurant that Kelley told him about. He then looked around for a while and saw Kelley is sitting at a corner.

"Sorry if I'm late" said Alessandro.

"It's okay. I won't be surprise if you didn't show up though" replied Kelley as Alessandro took a seat.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" asked Alessandeo. Kelley sighed.

"Nothing. It just that I would like to apologise to you" said Kelley.

"Really? What for?" asked Alessandro.

"Everything. I've been so mean towards you for no good reason since the moment we met" replied Kelley.

"You really mean it?" asked Alessandro.

"I am. Do you think you can forgive me?" asked Kelley in returned.

"I don't think that I can forgive you" said Alessandro.

"It's okay. I totally understand it" replied Kelley.

"But I know that I can" said Alessandro.

"You really mean it?" asked Kelley.

"Yes, I do" replied Alessandro.

"Thank you. You just helped me removed my burden of feeling guilty" said Kelley.

"I just don't want any bad blood between us. Even before she dies, my mother always told me to fix my relationship with you and other siblings" replied Alessandro. Kelly shocked.

"Wait, your mother had died?" asked Kelley.

"Yes. The last time that I ever contacted that old man was during the time I want to tell him about the news but he shoved me away before I can tell him anything" replied Alessandro.

"Really? Oh my god" said Kelley.

"I'm sorry. I never know that" Kelley continued.

"It's okay, Miss. It's my fault get rage on you in Rio 3 years ago after all" replied Alessandro. Kelley shook her head.

"No, it's not really your fault. I provoked you. Something that I shouldn't do it. Especially to you; my little brother" said Kelley.

"Did you just declare me as your little brother?" asked Alessandro.

"Yes, I do" replied Kelley.

"I thought you never want it" said Alessandro.

"Well, things happened. It is quite embarassing after thinking back of what had I done to you" replied Kelley.

"So, can we just forgive and forget, Miss?" asked Alessandro.

"Sure. Under one condition" replied Kelley.

"What is it?" asked Alessandro.

"Don't call me Miss. Too formal there. Just call me with my first name. We're siblings after all" replied Kelley.

"It will take a while but very well then" said Alessandro.

"Good" replied Kelley. Later on, their food came.

"So, what's next for you?" asked Kelley then.

"Well, there's only 1 thing left for me to do right now; which is restoring Italy to our best form" replied Alessandro.

"I think that you and your teammates are doing great so far. You haven't lost since Mancini took over, right?" asked Kelley.

"That's true" replied Alessandro.

"So, I'm sure that you'll be fine. You might win Euro next year too" said Kelley.

"Hope so" replied Alessandro.

"So, do you have any plan for this remaining summer?" asked Kelley.

"Not really. Why?" asked Alessandro.

"Then, why don't you come over to US? We can spend more time together" replied Kelley.

"Well, not a bad idea. I'll reconsider it" said Alessandro.

"Very well. I hope that you'll accept it so that I can restore your American side again" replied Kelley. Alessandro chuckled.

"Well, I don't know if there is still any of it inside me" said Alessandro.

"I'm sure there is a bit of it inside of you. You were born there after all" replied Kelley.

"Just you to know, sis. I won't eat pizza that has pineapple on it" said Alessandro.

"Really? After we're start to get along, you stereotyping me?" asked Kelley. Alessandro chuckled.

"Sorry. It can't be helped though" replied Alessandro.

"Wonder how you can date Alisha" said Kelley causing Alessandro to nearly spitted out his water.

"I'm not dating her" replied Alessandro.

"Really? You're staying in the same hotel room with her, right?" asked Kelley.

"With different bed, sis" replied Alessandro.

"Don't you like her?" asked Kelley.

"It's a big lie if I said no" replied Alessandro.

"Then, what are you waiting for?" asked Kelley.

"Well, I don't want things to get awkward with her. We've been bestfriends since signing up with The Mighty Hammers" replied Alessandro.

"You should really make a quick move, boy. Or you will lose your chance forever" said Kelley.

"There is a lot for me to consider" replied Alessandro.

"Fair enough but be quick" said Kelley. Alessandro just nodded.

Later on;

"So, how's your meeting with Kelley went?" asked Alisha after Alessandro came into their room.

"Good" replied Alessandro.

"So, you finally a baby brother now" mocked Alisha.

"Shut up" replied Alessandro. Alisha giggled.

"So, what are you going to do now?" asked Alisha.

"I'll going back to London first. I'll be there in Salt Lake City next week" replied Alessandro.

"Good for you. By the way, about the thing that I want to tell you before" said Alisha.

"Ah, yes. What is it?" asked Alessandro. Alisha sighed heavily.

"I'm leaving West Ham" replied Alisha.

"Wait, what? But why?" asked Alessandro.

"I need more play time. I might miss Euro 2021 if I keep being benched. Don't worry. It just on loan" replied Alisha.

"I see. Just do what did you think best for you then" said Alessandro.

"I will" replied Alisha.

"Which club will you play next season?" asked Alessandro.

"Everton" replied Alisha.

"I see. Good luck then" said Alessandro. Alisha smirked.

"Thanks" said Alisha.

"I think I get my hope too high" said inner Alessandro.
