" What the fu*k are you two doing "...
I jump out of Carters grasped, startled by Leo's outburst.
" We weren't doing anything " Carter shouts back, while dusting himself off.
" You sure ? " Leo says coming towards us, raising his eyebrow.
" Yea " Carter says bluntly.
" Ok, Val, Alex, we gotta go " Leo says heading towards the car.
" What! Why? " I say clearly confused.
" Will texted me saying dinner was ready, and that we have a surprise for you " Leo explains wiggling his eyebrows.
" Surprise ? " I repeat.
" Yes now lets get home, bye y'all " Leo says pushing me and Alex towards the car.
Leo stops pushing me and I walk on my own. As I was walking, a hand grabs my wrist, causing me to stop in my tracks.
I turn to see who it was, and low and behold. It was Carter.
" Hey " he says, making eye contact with me.
Ugh.
Yea this boy needs to stop, because I'm deadass gonna laugh.
" Yea ? " I say fighting back a smile.
" So uh.. " he says scratching his head, dropping my wrist.
I wait for him to say what he was gonna say.
" Can I have your number, please ? " he says turning his head away from me.
" Yea sure " I say, blushing a bit.
" Ok give me your phone so I can put my number in " Carter ways turning his face towards me.
" I don't have my phone on me right now. Can I just put my number into yours instead ? " I ask.
" Yea sure " he says handing me his phone.
I put my number in and saved my contact as
" Val❤️".
" Here " I say handing him his phone back.
" Ok, I'll text you later, bye " Carter says walking away from me, with a huge smile on his face.
I wave and head back to the car. I get into the back seat, and just sit there with a big smile on my face.
" Why you smiling like that? " Leo asks turning his head towards me from the drivers seat.
" Nothing " I say immediately wiping the smile off my face.
" Alright then weirdo " Leo says starting the car.
I tune out everything around me, just starring out the window.
I so have to tell Tristan about this.
***
" Wake up Val, we're home " Leo says shaking me awake.
I guess I fell asleep.
" Nah, I'll just stay here " I say leaning my head against the window.
" Do you want me to carry you? " Alex offers, causing me to immediately snap my eyes open.
" Bet " with that, I hop out the car and jump onto Alex's back.
" You're so light " Alex says, walking towards the front door.
" Mhm " I mumble not really knowing what to say.
Leo walks in front of us and opens the door.
" We're home! " He screams walking into the house, with me and Alex trailing in behind him.
" Do you have to be so loud " Grumbled Xander.
I look up and see all my brothers standing in the living room. My eyes stopped on a unfamiliar man.
" La mia bellissima figlia " The man says.
( My beautiful daughter )
I act like I don't understand Italian and screw up my face in confusion.
" Non capisce papà italiano " Vincent says looking at the man.
( She doesn't understand Italian dad )
" Oh " The man says.
I get down from Alex's back and just stand there, looking like that standing emoji.
" Hello Valentina, I am your father " Dad says explaining himself, smiling as well.
I don't know what came over me, but I ran up to him and hugged him.
He chuckles and hugs me back.
We hug for about a minute until we hear Xander make a gagging sound.
I secretly stick my middle finger up at Xander.
" You little- " Xander says but was cut off.
" Ok, lets have dinner shall we ? " Will says cutting Xander off.
" Say less " I say excitedly, running into the dining room, letting go of Dad in the process.
On the table was shrimp Alfredo, salad, garlic bread and cake.
Oh, did I mention that I hate cake? Well I hate cake. Anyways, moving on.
" This looks amazing Will " I compliment.
" Well thank you, but I can't take all the credit. Xander helped as well " Will says smiling, showing off his dimples.
" Thanks Xander " I say looking at him.
" Yea whatever " Xander says turning his head the other way, bright red might I add.
We then began eating.
" So Valentina, how was life with your mother ? " Dad says looking at me.
My face visibly pales.
" Fine " I say quickly, stuffing my face with pasta.
" Sta nascondendo qualcosa " Xander says looking at Dad.
( She's hiding something )
I still sit there and look clueless.
" Datele tempo, alla fine ci dirà quando sarà pronta " Ace chimes in.
(Give her time, she'll eventually tell us when she's ready)
Yea you better tell em Ace.
" No! È successo qualcosa e sono preoccupato per lei! " Xander yells slamming his hands down onto the table.
(No! Something happened and I'm worried about her!)
Awe he's worried about me, I think my heart just melted.
" Basta! Xander, siamo tutti preoccupati per lei, ma non possiamo costringerla a parlare " Vincent booms, causing everyone to go silent. Including Xander which was a shocker.
(Enough! Xander, we're all worried
about her, but we can't force her to talk)
No one speaks. Like at all. Like they could hear my stomach rumbling right now, which is hella embarrassing.
" So, Valentina how was your old school like? " Dad asks breaking the silence.
" It was boring, but my bestfriend Tristan made it worth while, also- " I was saying but got cut off.
" Tristan? Thats a boy name " Dad says raising his eyebrow at me.
* sigh *
Well here we go again.
