Reader is about 18-19, niece to Paulie and Tuddy Cicero, and she hasn't been in New York in several years

Coming off of your flight into New York, Paulie (your favorite uncle) picked you up from the airport. He knew you would appreciate seeing him first and he wouldn't have any less for his favorite niece.

He takes you to the cabstand where all of Paulie's friends hangout to play cards at night

He pulls you up into a big hug upon getting out the car; he's so happy to have you back home

This doesn't last long, because Tuddy is giddy to see you and give you hugs as well

All of the "uncles" get up from their cards and cigars to give you a warm welcome back to Brooklyn, some of them even slipping cash into your pockets

Sitting around catching up with Uncle Paulie, seeing the pure joy in his face as he listens to you

"Hey! Paulie's smiling so much you'd think he got a facelift!!" Tuddy would joke and all the uncles laugh until they get a deadpan stare from their boss

He can't keep a straight face when he hears your giggling over his shoulder

A car rolls up with some guys inside making a lot of noise, the car shuts off and they're all practically wrestling each other out the car

You immediately recognize them: Tommy, Henry, and Jimmy. They had been the only ones even close to your age when you were in Brooklyn, although Jimmy was much older than you

Henry, upon seeing an attractive girl with all the uncles: "who is THAT!!?"

Tommy: "that's Paulie's Niece, you stupid fucker, you don't recognize her? What's the matter with you?"

Jimmy, kind of frozen in place: "oh... She grew up" 😏

Immediately and unspoken, it becomes a competition between the three of them to have you

At the restaurant, while Jimmy and Henry are busy wheeling and dealing, selling stuff out the back, Tommy gets you by yourself

He takes you to a room with less people, which is pretty difficult add the restaurant is always busy

Tommy being Tommy, he thinks the way to your heart is through laughter, and it does work for the most part

Around the time, Paulie, Jimmy, and Henry realize you're missing, Tommy is bringing you back to the table, thoroughly satisfied by the fact that he landed a kiss from you

Paulie has a room set up for you at his place, he's glad to have you there where he knows you're safe

One morning, Henry picks you up, taking you out to run errands all day

You had always been really good friends with Henry when you were both younger

It was obvious he was really into you then, but even more now

He couldn't keep his hands off of you wherever you weren't in the car. Trading guns, picking up groceries, taking Paulie's calls, whatever, he was all over you

Back at Paulie's he made sure to go up to your room with you before leaving

Maybe you jumped the gun with Tommy, maybe Henry was a better choice. He was extremely charming.

Henry also kisses you, thinking he got to you first

Jimmy likes to hang out with you at Paulie's house when Paulie has all his friends over

Jimmy teaches you to gamble and all of the card strategies that your uncles use when they're playing

He likes you but you would never know, and he was really patient in making his move, spending a lot of time with you in a place where you're comfortable before trying to get you alone

One night during cards, he walks up behind you, placing his hands on your hips. He pretends he's whispering about game strategy, but instead he says, "I know those two little boys already had a pass at you. Let me take you out tomorrow, princess, and show you how a grown man does it."

You're left standing there like a deer caught in headlights

The next night, he takes you out on the nicest date you've ever been on, and it was kind of flattering that he wasn't trying to sneak around with you.

Paulie expected that you wouldn't be back until late (he didn't know it was a date), but he certainly wasn't expecting you to not come home at all

The next morning, Jimmy returned you to Paulie's where everyone was gathered for family dinner

When you showed up wearing one of Jimmy's shirts, Tommy and Henry realized Jimmy had done a little more than just kissing you

And when Paulie saw the upset look on Tommy and Henry's faces, he realized what had been going on right under his nose
