BitterSweet

CHAPTER TWO

She practically jumps onto me, which causes my feet to slip and before I know it, I'm on the ground holding back a scowl. " Oh my god, oh my god!" she repeats, scrambling off me " I am so sorry, I didn't mean to." she says looking horrified

I give everyone a thumbs up to show I'm okay.

" Hera be more careful, Aurelia are you okay" Nathaniel says rushing to help me up.

" It's nothing to worry about " I reply even though my lower back feels like its on fire, I say a quick thanks as Nathaniel helps me up.

" I am so sorry again, I'm Hera your sister" she rambles nervously " I'm a year older than you"

I let out a small laugh before introducing myself back for formalities since she clearly knows who I am already.

I shift my weight over to my left leg when I feel my right leg start to sting after the hard fall. It must've reopened the cuts. I'm glad that I'm wearing sweatpants.

" Lucien, please give your sister a house tour. " Alessandro states with a stare that would make anyone agree.

Lucien just walks away and I take that as a cue to follow him. I had to basically jog to keep up with him because of how fast he was walking, I think he did that on purpose.

The tour was pretty awkward since every time I tried to have small talk he shuts it down with either a blunt answer or no answer at all so I just stopped.

" This is your room." He says, stopping suddenly in front of a door in which I slam face first into his back.

I stumble back a bit, catching myself before I fell back. Maybe I should start towork out because these people have literally rock hard backs. Before I can apologize he just walks away, not sparing me a single glance. I look at him a little longer and my jaw drops. My conceler is smudged to his back. Okay super duper embarrassing, so glad he didn't spare me a glance.

It takes me a couple seconds to break out of the trance before I remember I'm in front of my room. I open the door to my new bedroom.

I walk in inspecting ht epale tan walls with a huge window, a huge bed, a huge rug, an overall huge room. I even have my own walk in closet and my own bathroom.

This room is amazing.

I jump into the bed where I literally sink in. This is heavenly.

...
A few hours later

I jumped awake gasping for air, when cold water splash me. What the fuck.

I hear an obnoxious laughter coming from my right where I see Hera who is holding a bucket which I assume was filled with ice cold water; key word: was.

I cough, when my throat starts burning. I glance at the clock, stationed at my bedside table. I can't even sleep in peace for an hour. I watch Hera laugh when I get up holding the cold, wet cloth of my shirt away from my skin.

I suck in a breath before laughing along with her. I found nothing about this funny but Izdidn't want to spoil the mood.

" You should've seen the look on your face!" Hera exclaims as her laughter died down. She holds a mischievous glint in her eyes as she tells me to come downstairs for dinner.

I sigh before looking for some dry clothes to change into as well as using a towel to soak up the water from my hair.

Once I'm done I wander around the mansion until I find the dining room since Hera has seemed to leave me. Once I finally stumble upon the gorgeous dining room, I sit on the only seat available, between Matteo and Nathaniel.
