Something Along The Line.
~One's destination isn't a place but a new way of looking at things~
Hey Guys..Yes this a chapter but I need to say something before I go on Thank you for all of your condolences and prayers. It really helped. The funeral was last Saturday and it was very emotional and heart retching...half of the school including all his family was there filling up the home and having people stand outside. I am feeling a little bit better compared to the mess I was two weeks ago. I lost my childhood friend but, I know he is in a better place and will always be in my heart.
Another thing. For the Silent Storm I had an idea originally planned out when I was first writing this and how it would go on and I have decided to speed it up a few weeks. I am trying to make this a little more interesting and towards the good juicy parts.
~Destiny's 3rd P.O.V~
Two weeks later...
It was dark inside of the child's room. A little too dark for her liking. With only her eyes peeking out and the blanket covering her whole body up to the bridge of her nose.
The shadows of the trees peeked inside along with her nightlight enhancing the size giving it an eerie look and feel. It was still relatively dark outside as Veronica suddenly came inside the child's room freighting her instantly sending her under her sheets.
Destiny felt the covers come off of her to see the white face monster about to demolish her as she let out an ear deafening.
"DESTINY! STOP" Veronica yelled before rubbing her ears and turning on the lights. Destiny looked up to see her mother wearing a white facial mask and hair rollers in her head giving her the monstrous appearance.
"Oh hey Mommy" Destiny giggled as Veronica rolled her eyes and smiled. "Hey hun it time to get up now. You don't want to be late now do we" Veronica asked the child who nodded quickly and scurried off into the nearby bathroom where her toothbrush was waiting for her leaning off the basin.
Since she took a shower last night all she needed to do was freshen up and get dressed...according to Mommy.
Destiny had brushed her teeth twice making sure her breath reeked of Listerine and Colgate. Next was her face in which she soaped up and washed off with ease. Her mother waited for her in their bedroom with her adorable outfit from Gymboree and The Children's Place laid out before her with her mini kitty cat sandal wedges.
After getting dressed Destiny was sent outside to the kitchen where Bryan just finished making her a cheesy egg sandwich, kissed her on the forehead before proceeding to button up his dress shirt and carried on into his bedroom.
Destiny, not knowing exactly what was going on began to eat her breakfast and turned on her IPad. Not too long after grandma and grandpa showed up at the door with suitcases in hand. Mommy and Daddy weren't to far behind as they walked out from the back dressed as well.
Hopping off the stool to her family she asked..
"Where are we going?"

~Victoria's 1st P.O.V~
Lorenzo's body laid on top of mine as my eyes began to see clearly after a few blinks. From the waist down I was paralyzed from the soreness of our wildest sexcapdes. Every night it would be us until the wee hours of the night. Nothing I object to it just happens with this spontaneous feeling that I get anytime I am around him.
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....
Hope you enjoyed this chapter and yes I am finally back on wattpad. Thanks for all your prayers and condolences. Stay tune for next week
