Wattpad Filipino Block Party 2021

Orsini Family Group Chat

Marco:

You want to have a what?!

Audrianna:

Escort.

Marco:

Why do you need a companion in the first place?

Audrianna:

You're really getting old, Dad. Have you forgotten my upcoming eighteenth birthday?

Marco:

So?

Audrianna:

So?

Are you serious, Dad?

My upcoming birthday is the most important event for a teenage Italian girl as she enters into adulthood.

Marco:

I am aware of that.

What I don't understand is the need to have an escort for your birthday? Can't we celebrate your special day without a boy on your side that night?

Audrianna:

Of course not!

It is expected by everyone that I have a date on that day.

Marco:

Not by me.

Audrianna:

Don't be absurd, Dad.

Marco:

Francesca!

Why are you silent?

I can see your active status.

Francesca:

I'm busy.

Marco:

You!

Do you know this ridiculous plan of hers?

Francesca:

Huh?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm listening to a podcast right now.

Stop bothering me.

Marco:

Stop pretending that you're listening to your favorite podcast. I know very well that you're reading our conversations silently.

Audrianna:

Stop dragging Mama into this!

Marco:

I am not dragging her, young lady.

I am only merely asking your mother about this knowing that you and she are thick as thieves.

Audrianna:

Whatever.

Going back to our topic, Papa.

I have potential candidates for the job.

In fact, I have a list.

Marco:

No!

Francesca:

😆

Marco:

😠

Francesca:

Oh, for heaven's sake!

Why don't you hear out your daughter first before rudely saying 'no'?

Marco:

I think I have a freaking nightmares about this kind of devious list.

Francesca:

Speaking from experience, dear?

Audrianna:

What do you mean, Mama? You also made a list before?

Marco:

Past is past!

Forget about that bloody list. My answer will be the same a flat 'no'. You will not have an escort to your upcoming birthday, Audrianna Orsini, and that's final.

Audrianna:

Oh, for the love of God, Dad! Why do you need to be a stick-in-the-mud kind of dad? You need to chill like Uncle Lucca or Uncle Rafe sometimes.

Marco:

Too bad. You have no choice since I am your father.

Francesca:

He's not like that in the past, sweetie. In fact, he's quite the opposite.

Marco:

Whose side are you in this, mia moglie? 😤

Francesca:

No one.

Why don't you just humor your daughter and hear her potential list to be her escort to her eighteenth birthday, love? You do know very well that she will not stop bothering you until she rest her case.

Marco:

Fine. Let's get over with this nonsense. I have a meeting with the vineyard workers in an hour. Let's hear this damnable list of yours.

Audrianna:

Yay!

Marco:

So our agreement is that you need my approval, correct?

Audrianna:

Of course, Papa.

Marco:

Fine.

Let's do this.

Audrianna:

Okay. Here are the potential gentlemen to be my companion for my birthday.

Marco:

Gentlemen, huh?

Francesca:

Francesca is typing...

Audrianna:

If you will not interrupt me I will be grateful, Dad.

Francesca:

Francesca removed message

Marco:

Fine!

Audrianna:

Carlo Agostini

Marco:

Are you crazy?! He's a complete douchebag.

Audrianna:

That's harsh!

Marco:

That's the truth, figlia.

Audrianna:

Edmundo Capaldi

Marco:

I hate his father.

Audrianna:

ARE YOU FOR REAL?!

It's not as if I am forcing you to spend time with his father at my party.

I am not even sure if his father will attend my party!

Marco:

Next.

Audrianna:

You are being unreasonable, Papa!

Marco:

Give me the next name or just forget this madness at once.

Audrianna:

What about Primo Di Angelo?

Francesca:

Francesca reacted to Audrianna's message

Marco:

You're not serious, are you?

He's a mama's boy, Audrey. What are you thinking putting him on your list?

Audrianna:

Lorenzo Alessi?

Marco:

I don't like his name.

Next!

Francesca:

🙄

Audrianna:

Seriously?

That's your reason?

You just don't like his name?

Is that even valid?

Marco:

Yes.

Audrianna:

Why?

Marco:

I just don't like his name. Period.

Audrianna:

That's not even his fault, papa!

Marco:

Yes, not his fault but his parents.

Audrianna:

You really don't have any plans on actually choosing someone from the list to be my partner for my birthday, isn't? 😣

Marco:

From what I remember in our agreement, mia figlia. I will allow you to have a companion in your birthday provided he met my criteria.

Audrianna:

You are being unreasonable, Papa. Do you know that?

Marco:

I guess so.

Nothing else from your list, dear?

Audrianna:

The last one.

Marco:

Who is it?

Audrianna:

Massimo Calvetti.

Marco:

Who?

Audrianna:

Audrianna is typing...

Marco:

Who is that boy again, Francesca?

Francesca:

The prince's son.

The eldest son of Lucca's cousin.

Marco:

Marco is typing...

Audrianna:

So? What can you say, Papa?

Marco:

What?

Audrianna:

No objections or whatsoever with Massimo?

Francesca:

I think your papa doesn't have any protests, sweetheart.

And don't tell us that you don't like Max's father because we all know you don't like men who refused to join your club, Marco. You're still bitter.

Marco:

Thanks for reminding me that awful memory, wife.

Francesca:

😅

Marco:

What about Makis?

I trust Makis more than any other guy on your cursed list, Audrey.

Audrianna:

I don't think that's such a good idea.

Marco:

Enlighten me, please.

Audrianna:

Well, that will be kinda awkward since we broke up not so long ago.

Marco:

WHAT THE FUCKING HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?!

Francesca:

There's no need for caps lock, love.

Marco:

Did you know this?

Francesca:

Kinda.

Marco:

And you kept it from me?!

Francesca:

I know you will react like this.

Marco:

Because your daughter is still a minor!

Francesca:

Oh, for God's sake, Marco! She's old enough to experience life. Let her be.

Marco:

My daughters will not have a boyfriends until they are in their thirties.

Audrianna:

You can't be serious, papa!

And stop being keyboard warrior, will you?

Marco:

I am!

I married your Mama when she's twenty-nine years old.

Audrianna:

That's different.

Marco:

I don't think so.

Francesca:

Be reasonable, Marco.

Marco:

How can I be reasonable after knowing that my eldest daughter is just seventeen and yet she calmly announced that she broken up with her 'boyfriend' the same man who happens to be my godson!

What kind of madness is this?

Audrianna:

Oh, come on, Papa. Our relationship isn't that serious Makis and I broke up after a month of dating. We agreed that we're better friends than romantically involve.

Marco:

Do you hear your daughter, Francesca? Her relationship with Makis isn't even a serious one? I am about to have a heart failure because of her.

Audrianna:

Don't be so dramatic, Papa.

Marco:

I will ask Makis about this matter.

Audrianna:

One more thing, Daddy.

Marco:

What?

Audrianna:

Max will pick me up later because I need to go somewhere.

Marco:

Why the devil he needs to fetch you when you have a car of your own? You do know how to drive.

Audrianna:

He was kind enough to offer so I did say yes.

Behave, papa. I don't want you to embarrass me in front of him if you happened to be home before he arrives.

Marco:

Francesca mia?

Francesca:

Hmm?

Marco:

Get Nonno's hunting shotgun in the safe. I suddenly have the urge to kill a young royalty today...

Audrianna:

PAPA!!!!
