Markos had another altercation with Rocco. Carlo caught it and called it out. I was still essentially on house arrest so there was nothing that I could do to help. It was nice that I told Bianca and Carlo about it. They were able to instantly pick up the slack. On my recommendation, Rocco had finally made his move on Annita. He asked Laura and Viola out first, so he had to do that. It was the only right thing to do. Bella and I had both agreed about that, so he knew it had to be done. It was an ice cream date, so there was no way for him to hate it. 2 pretty girls fawned over him as he had a nice treat outside the hotel. Everyone won in that scenario. I advised about a week or 2 of cooldown. Rocco did not want to give off the impression that he was not serious about dating girls. He asked Annita out to see a movie. She agreed happily. Markos heard about it and was pissed off. During their usual 15 minute break, Rocco was stretching out his legs. Markos saw him and approached from his side. Rocco did not notice him until the older boy grabbed him and started grinding his crotch against his. Nasty.
Being made aware of this bullying, Carlo called it out as soon as he saw it. Markos tried to play it off as a joke, but neither Carlo nor Rocco were having any of it. Markos had to flee at that point to avoid making a big scene. The running away did not end it for him though. Carlo told his mother about it. Bianca told Bella about it. Bella was apoplectic with rage. She called the dance instructor and tore him a new asshole over the phone. Then it was time for Markos to be yelled at. If Bella was homophobic to her own children, she had absolutely no filter when berating someone else. She was so angry, that she okayed his relationship with Annita by accident. That was what I thought she would do. She may or may not have wanted her kids to date and marry within the same ethnicity. She was not going to accept some perverted boy molesting her bisexual son when she had finally gotten him to go out on dates with girls. Rocco was pleased that his mother was on his side for once. Bella coddled him and they spent time bonding together. It made Marco jealous, but this moment was not all about him.
