The Silent Storm. [✔]

Chapter Fifteen ❌

What ever he is doing he's got me hooked tightly.

I slithered and shifted getting from under him without waking him up and left him sleeping peacefully in the bed.

~~~~~~~

A block over was a little cafe where internet, books, and great coffee and tea was available.

Julian had showed me this location after finding out I was a journalist weeks ago.

I was now a commoner inside as I got to learn some of the staff memebers and gave laptop #14 english translation for me to use it.

Alessia would sometimes meet me here to teach Italian to me. If I was going to be here might as well not be a stranger.

"So this is your new hideout?" A familiar voice from behind asked. I took my head out of the booklet and adjusted my reading glasses to see Jenny and Gigi taking a seat in the lounging area around me.

I continued reading my booklet turning the page. "Let me guess Lorenzo or Arturo?".

"Neither its called watching you leave the Catalona and following you here" Jenny rephrased it using her hands gesturing what she meant.

I smirked putting down my book and sitting criss cross on the chase. "I believe that stalking would be the proper terminology". "Not necessarily. It would have to be over time to be considered stalking" Gigi challenged.   

Jenny made the time out sign before speaking. "Wait we are drifting off the main topic we came here for...Victoria...how are you" She questioned me rather simply. "I'm well...actually the best I've been in for years to be honest. What about you girlies? Marco and Aafia?" I asked wondering about their little love affairs also.

Gigi turned rosy red and licked her lips. "It feels as if I could taste her all over again. Yo she's bad. Too bad At first I was wondering if she could handle me but, now its if I could handle her"

Jenny turned to Gigi. "When were you going to share this information? I didn't hear any of this til now but you go girl"

I took a sip of my tea and giving the okay before erupting in laughter. Gigi was too much sometimes. "Um no more of this. Jenny and I have to meet this Aafia girl officially before things can get serious. Gigi in love? That's not normal"

"You're right. I need to tell Marco and Thomas about this so we could arrange a formal dinner" Jenny insisted.

Gigi jumped out of her seat. "Hold it right there. You think I'm going to let my bashit crazy familia meet my precious exotic jewel?Go ahead and scare her away from me" She ovexaggerated just a bit. They weren't that crazy...my family was even more dysfunctional than them. Last I heard from my peoples in DC was two days ago. Visiting them here and there wouldn't be so bad.

"Non proprio.(Not quite). The Giganti familia has much more complications than any other familia. I don't really know about yours as much but everyone has their pros and cons".

I turned around to see Julian making his presence known around the bookshelf. "Where the fuck did you come from" Gigi questioned with a smirk forming on her lips already.

"I've been here for as long as you've been here. Sorry I just could have sworn that I saw someone and that's the reason for my delay"

"Who did you think you saw?" Jenny inquired.

Julian eyes landed on mine as he hesitated. "I don't feel like bringing up past business of the unspeakable".

It seemed to me that only Gigi understood what he was talking about leaving Jenny and I clueless. What could be so bad about this mystery person he had thought he had seen.

To break up the tension I decided to start with a new destination. "Hey anyone ready for lunch?"

"Tori its almost six" Julian commented.

I shushed him immediately. "Its never too late for food fam"

~~~~~~

Its was a little late in the evening around nine thirty and I probably had  one too many drinks with Jenny and them. Technically I wasn't drunkkkk.

But I was feeling really nice right now.

Now where is my baby Lorenzo?

Coming back around the lobby leaving the even drunker squad behind...hahahaha I said even drunker squad.

Walking further inside I saw a man with a familiar stance dressed in a causal suit make his way toward the golden elevators. "Renzo!" I thought to myself dashing over to the elevators not really caring about who I cut off.

"Lorenzo!" I said jumping on top of him as the doors closed and feeling the elevator go up.

He started chuckling...that's when I realized it wasn't Lorenzo. "I've been compared to many people but Lorenzo? That's new Victoria".

He turned around to face me when I saw his face. "Thomas!" I cheered again.

Thomas eyed me from head to toe. "Have you been drinking Tori?"  

"A little bit but I left them at the bar down the block" I said describing how much I drank. "Well Lorenzo is going to be pissed but who exactly is them?" Thomas asked raising a brow at me.

"Gigi, Jenny, and Julian to be exact" I snitched easily backing up against the wall to maintain my balance. "You okay Tori" He asked catching me again as the elevator stopped making me go into Thomas's arms as the doors opened...

 

"Well if it isn't little Tori?"

That voice sounded too real to be true as I turned to see the 5'6 curvy brown skin look alike of me. My sister Veronica.

Shock and fear filled my body that's when I sobered up by ten percent.

That's when I reached out to touch her face to see if this bitch was real or not. She slapped my hand away. "Owww that hurts" . "Tori are you not going to tell me who were you all up on in the elevator?" Veronica asked as she looked at Thomas with lust filled eyes.

I forgot that he was beside me.

Thomas chuckled nervously as he glanced at me then to Veronica as he introduced himself.

"I'm Thomas...Victoria's friend. You must Veronica's sister if I'm not mistaken" Thomas took the back of her hand and kissed it softly. "Interesting. So are you the one who is making my sister want to live here"

"Veronica no he is just a friend. Why didn't you tell me you were flying over?" I asked exiting out the elevator leaving Thomas behind.

"Yeah I'll catch up with you later Tori. Nice meeting you bella" He winked at Veronica as the doors closed.

I couldn't hear a word Veronica said after that when I felt it crawl up my throat. I vomited then blacked out....
