Recap

"What's wrong? Valentina are you okay?" he says coming close but I flinch away
I quickly see a flick of hurt in his eyes but as it quickly came it Quickly left
"What is going on," Xavier asks
"Heys guys have you guys seen Valentina-?" ivy says walking in with Lucas
"what is going on?" Lucas asked seriously
________________________________
VALENTINA POV :
I kept quiet for a while until I finally had the courage to speak
"He tried to touch me," I whisper
"you fucking bastard. " ivy says lunging at the guy but Lucas catches her halfway in the air
"Instead of killing him instantly, we should torture him first"
"You're right "
"I know"
"We should cut off his dick "
"We should and make him eat it"
"We are so smart"
"NO PLEASE NO" the man screams
"Shut up were thinking here "
"what Lucas said"
I look at my brothers and see that they have been quiet
they are probably disgusted by me.
"Can everyone leave us for a minute?" Xander asks
One by one everyone starts to leave except for me and my brothers
"Nikolai I said, everyone "
I hear Nikolai huff behind me but eventually, he gets up and then he proceeds to kiss my forehead
A soft smile forms on my face
He then drag the guy away into another room
Once everyone was gone the room fell into a complete silence
I looked everywhere but them
"Valentina look at us "
What if they don't love me anymore? What if they abandoned me?
"Valentina please look at us " Vinnie pleads
I Finally look at them but with an emotionless face
"We aren't disgusted by you," Xander says
"How did you-" I start but am interrupted by Xander
"We could tell what you were thinking because of your expression"
"Oh"
"Valentina, we could never hate you. We love you with all our heart" Vinnie states
"Can we hug you?" Xavier asks
I nod
All of them one by one start hugging me. I felt just as safe in their embrace as I did in Nico's
"Do you wanna talk about it?" Xavier asks
I shake my head no
"maybe later I just wanna rest now"
"Is it okay with you if we stay here to clean this up while Nikolai takes you to his place?" Vinnie asks
"Why his place? Why not home?"
"Dad and our older brothers had an emergency so they are not home right now" Xavier explains
"That's fine don't wanna bother dad"
"You are never a bother Piccola"
[little one]
"Are you guys gonna tell dad?" I ask
"No this is something you have to tell"
"I'll tell him when he comes back," I say
They all nod in understanding
We talk a little more which helped me not be so shaken anymore
"We should tell them to come back" I suggest
"You're right we really should"
"I'll go get them" Vinnie offers and starts to walkout
"Xavier come here I got something to tell you"
Xavier leans in and I whisper
"Next time don't give Lucas such big hickeys"
I see his eyes widen
"How did you-"
"I see the way you both look at each other it makes it so obvious especially when you also have a big hickey on your neck as well"
"If you hurt my best friend I'll chop you up in pieces" I threaten
"So does this mean I can ask him out?" he asks
"I guess, it's not up to me but with that big hickey on your neck I am guessing he'll accept you freaky freak"
"Don't act so innocent don't think I don't know you and Nikolai made out in the classroom a couple of weeks ago"
"What the fuck how do you know about that"
"I have eyes everywhere"
" By the way, why does everyone call him Nikolai instead of Nico?" I ask
"Because he hates being called Nico," he said as if it was the most obvious thing
Wait what? He just told me to call him Nico a while ago?
"Valentina, are you okay?" ivy asks rushing to my side
"Yeah I am okay just a little shaken" I admit
"Once we are done with him he'll be wishing he wasn't born," Lucas said with a sinister look
Lucas and ivy then go on a rant about how they'll be torturing the guy but instead of paying attention to them I just stared at Nico while he stared at me back
It felt as if it was just the two of us in the room
"V are you paying attention?" Lucas asks looking up to see what I was looking at
I turn my gaze back to them and see Lucas mouth 'someone in love'. In return, I give him the finger and mouth 'just like how you're in love with my brother'
I see his eyes widen in shock
Yeah I know about it bitch
''Nikolai is it okay if Valentina spends the night at your house today?" Xander asks
Nico's eyes light up at the mention of me staying over at his house
"Yeah that's fine," he says nonchalantly
"Valentina, are you tired?" Vinnie asks
"Just a bit"
"Do you wanna leave now?"
I thought about it for a bit before nodding my head
"I'll tell Nikolai then"
After a while, I feel someone come up from behind me and snake their arm around my waist
"I heard you want to leave now" Nico whispered into my ear
I nod
"Well if that's what you want that's what we'll do, " he said before picking me up
"Put me down" I hiss
"No can do ангел"
[angel]
"Me and Valentina will be leaving I'll take her over to your house at 3" he informs Xavier
"Got it thank you again"
"No problem"
Nico carried me on his shoulder until we finally made it to his car.
he sets me down to open the door to his car and then tells me to get in.
he then closes the door and walks around to the driver's side
"Here your jacket back," I say trying to give it back to him but he didn't take it
"Keep it's cold outside"
Once we both buckled out seatbelts he starts to drive
｡*⑅୨୧┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈୨୧⑅*｡
"Can you open the door? I don't wanna drop you " Nico asks
"yeah sure, what's the passcode?"
"it's 271614"
I type in the code and it unlocks
obviously, it's gonna unlock since it's his passcode dumbass
once we step into the apartment I am amazed at how beautiful it looks
"you have a cool place"
"thanks. Do you wanna change clothes? I bet it's gonna be uncomfortable sleeping in that dress" Nico asks
"I didn't bring extra clothes tho"
"give me a minute, " he says before disappearing into a hallway
a few minutes later I see him come back with some sweats and a hoodie
"here you go"
"thanks where's the bathroom so I can change ?"
"down the hallway on your right"
" thanks "
as I walk away to the bathroom I feel his eyes on me
once I reach the bathroom let out a breath of air that I didn't even know I was holding
I quickly changed into the clothes. the clothes kinda fit me big so I had to roll up the hem of the sweats
I walk back to the living room and see Nico making a bed on the couch
"Thanks for letting me sleep on your couch"
"wdym? you aren't sleeping on the couch you're sleeping on the bed" Nico says as if it was the most obvious thing in the world
"I can't do that this is your home "
"it's fine "
"it's not I'll sleep on the couch"
we bicker back and forth but before I could process what I said I just spoke
"let's just both just sleep on the bed"
"okay"
fuck
