This morning I woke up early and went for a run in the forest with Els to our spot. We played together for a few hours before heading back for breakfast. It was still early when we got back.
I tired convincing Rita to let me make my own food but just like the first time she was very persistent on doing it herself. I gave up and asked for cereal.
My older cousins and brothers came down and had breakfast too. They were all talking about an upcoming meeting so something like that, I wasn't really to interested In it.
Rita came back with my breakfast and coffee for the others. When I done eating, I was planning on up to my food and giving Els her breakfast but was stopped by Leandro. "Abriana we need to speak to you about something"
I nod my head and waited say what he needs too.
"Today in 1 hour you and some of your brother will be going to the mall and buying you new clothes. You can also buy something for Ella if you want." Vincenzo said.
"I'm sure you must have realized that big empty room in your bedroom. All of us have it in ours. You get to decide on what you want it to be, whither it's another closet, or a library whatever you want. Completely up to you. Just tell one of us what you want and we'll made it happen. We'll try and have our men finished it quickly" Leandro explained before taking another sip if his coffee.
"Ok thank you both for telling. I'm going to get ready. Also goodmorning" I say standing up.
Els wanted to walk so I let her. Quickly made put way up to my room. I gave Els her breakfast and changed my clothes. I'm wearing black jeans and a light pink sweater. I did my hair into a high ponytail.
I checked to make sure if Els was good before leaving the room and into the foyer. Where Nino was standing on on his phone.
"Is it just you coming with me?" I ask descending from the stairs.
He looked up from his phone and smiled softly at me. "No, Sergio and Rocco are coming" I had to hold back an eye rolled when he said Rocco.
Just then Sergio came out from one of the hallways, with car keys in his hand.
"Where's Rocco?" He questioned scanning the area for him.
Nino shrugged."Who knows. He wasn't very happy when Vincenzo said he had to come"
"We could always leave with out him" I suggested. They both genuinely looked like they were thinking about. I think Sergio was about to agree until Rocco came into the foyer with a pice of toast in his mouth. He looked like he'd just woken up.
"Are we leaving or what?" He grumbled walking past up and out the door.
We quietly followed behind him and into the driveway. Sergio unlocked his car. Rocco got in the passenger seat and while me and Nino got in the back and Sergio in the driver stop.
It took us about 25 minutes to reach the mall. The size of this mall could easily be the biggest I've ever seen. It's huge. Lots of people are coming in and out of it.
"Stay close to at all time ok Abriana?" Sergio said seriously as he opened my door for me.
"Ok"
He held his hand out for, offering to help me out the car. I took it not wanting to be rude.
We all walked together inside of the mall. As we're walking I couldn't help but notice everyone moving out the way for us or would literally stop and stare at one of the boys. Sometimes both.
Sergio and Nino just ignored them while Rocco would wink at some girl every now and then. I find myself yet again rolling my eyes at him.
Sergio lead us all into some random designer store for girls. I already know everything is going to be over priced so I looked for clearance section is but there is none.
Is that even legal?
I just stood beside Sergio who was waiting to follow me around.
"Go on and take whatever you want" He encouraged giving me a small shove towards some clothes.
I let my eyes rank over the rack of clothes in front of me. I saw this nice color navy blue shirt that looked a little tight at the top and lose at where it would reach my hips. I do what a normal person does when they found something they like at a store. Looked at the price.
Belive me when I tell you soon as I saw the price I carefully fixed back the over priced shirt, made sure no visible wrinkle was evident on it and gently put it back in its original spot. Belive it cause that's exactly what I did.
I was gonna walk away from it until I heard Sergio picked it up.
"Don't worry about the tesoro, just get what you want" He said in a very reassuring way.
I nod my head and went back took looking. I couldn't help but check the tag on everything and pretend like I didn't see it. Self of habit. One of the boys would pick it up and look for my size before placing them in their arms. This continued until all couldn't hold any more.
When we reached the checkout I dreaded on hear the coast if everything.
"That total is $1800 exactly"
I half expected for Sergio to out everything back, but sadly he didn't even hesitate on taking out his credit care and swiping away.
Once all the clothes were I'm bags Sergio asked some of his security guards to put them in his car whole the rest of the stayed with us.
When we reached to the next expensive looking store the boys seemed the boys seem to to pick up whatever I stared at for what they think is long.
At the third store they got anything that would fit me. That's when I actually started putting things in my arms. From what I observed on most of the price tags I looked at everything was atleast 900 dollars and the really expensive things were 55000 dollars so I made sure none of the clothes I put in my arms weren't over 4000.
We went to a few other stores and got all types of things. Sergio even let me sneak a few crop tops that goes over my belly, shorts snd dresses that are over my knees. I also got some things for Els and more food.
Sergio and Nino Insisted on getting me new electronics even though mine still works perfectly for something that was from 2017. Then we got school supplies cause apparently I'll be starting school again soon.
After that we went back to the car. On the way mansion Sergio stopped at McDonald's. I got a 10 pice chicken nuggets meal. I made sure I ate all my chicken nuggets first so I wouldn't get full and have to save them for later.
When we got to the mansion some of the maids were waiting for us. Soon as seriously parked the car they came and took all my bags from the boot and made their way inside with it.
Nino told me they were putting them all in my room for us.
I got out the car with my food and made my way up to my room. When I entered nobody was here. I looked in my closet and all my shopping bags were neatly sitting on the ground.
It wasn't until then I realized how much of them they were and how much things I have to put away.
I have this great idea. Me being the bestfriend I am, is going to wait for my friends to come and make them help me with this. Great idea I know.
I lay down in bed watch something random on YouTube for a while into I remember Els didn't eat. I got up and filled up her bowls. Checking the time on my phone it reads. 7:50. Dinner starts in 10.
I left my room and walked downstairs into the dinningroom. I sat down beside Rocco and Valentino again.
The kitchen staff came and filled the table with food for us. When they went back I to the kitchen we started putting food on our plates. Like last time I helped Valentino with getting food then put some on my plate. Luckily nobody said anything about how little I served myself.
Valentino told me every little detail about his day until dinner was over.
Carmine took Valentino up for his bath while the kitchen staff cleaned up.
I thanked the person the took my plate like I do everday. I went back to my room and took bath for the first since I've been here.
When I got out I rubbed some cream onto my bruises. I kept forgetting to put some on every night since I came here so that's something I have to work on, but on the good side more of my bruises are fading but there still are scares.
I wrapped a towel around myself then walked into my closet and look for one if the pajamas I got. After scavenging through half the bags I found it and quickly changed into them. I walked back into my bedroom and flopped down on the bed. I got under the covers.
I took my phone up from where I left it and called Orielle. The others where with her and we all talked over the phone for an hour. When we hung up I called Arianna. We ended up talking for 2 hours, till her mom yelled at her to go sleep since it was 12 almost 1.
Soon after we came off the phone I fell asleep cuddling Els.
