"You sure you're okay?" Vince raised a brow at me, eyeing me like I had lost my mind. I could see him through the mirror as I applied some lip balm on my lips.

Vince was wearing a white shirt that was rolled up at the sleeves and tucked into a pair of pants. That was what he wore everyday but he claimed it wasn't the same clothes. I didn't believe him

"I'm fine" I grinned, unable to stop the way my lips spread wide. I smiled at him through the mirror before tugging on the ends of my cornrows. I had woken up early, probably because I slept so well, and put my hair in four cornrows. My arms ached.

"I don't know, bambino. Are you sure?" he asked protectively and I nodded eagerly. I was perfectly fine. I couldn't stop thinking about how Gianni's tongue felt so good on my core. How good his hair felt tangled in my fingers. How mind blowing Tino's lips felt against my ears. It was a beautiful combination. An amazing flame.

"Gianni kinda...tasted me down there and Tino watched" I blurted out, turning to face Vince who turned pale before he made motions of puking all over the floor. I laughed and rolled my eyes at how dramatic he was.

"Can't you give like a warning before telling me stuff like that? Dio! Too much information, darling" he shuddered and I laughed, standing up. I decided to wear a pair of jeans and a light blue flowery off shouldered top with a pair of nude flat sandals.

The door creaked open and my heart skipped a beat at the possibility of it being Gianni or Tino because I hadn't seen any of them all morning but I scowled when I spotted the nasty maid.

"G-Good morning, Vince" she stuttered, looking at Vince who gave her an indifferent look. She was wearing her uniform and her brown hair was tucked under her cap. I wasn't going to lie, she was absolutely beautiful but she had a bad attitude.

"I'm not your mistress so, I'm not the one you should be greeting" Vince practically growled at her. She shivered visibly and I sighed at him.

"Good morning, ma'am" she mumbled in a tone that I didn't like. I wasn't sure of what expressions filled her tone but I didn't like it.

I eyed her and pursed my lips, walking to make my bed.

"I can do that, ma'am...if you don't mind" she offered and I shook my head, impatiently making my bed.

A few minutes later, I was walking down the stairs with Vince. He raised a brow with a smirk playing on his lips.

"You don't like her, huh?"

"She called me filth on my first night here. I think I'll pass" I mumbled and excitement filled me at the thought of seeing Gianni and Tino again.

"She what?" His voice had turned angry and I nodded, looking up at him. He clenched his jaw and I nodded.

"I'll deal with her...Puttana" he spat and we got to the living room but it was empty. I exhaled, feeling slightly disappointed and I trudged to the kitchen but it was empty as well and my breakfast was nowhere to be found.

"Did they go out?" I mumbled to myself, feeling a little sad. I walked to the fridge with a pout, feeling more angry than sad now.

Now, I had to make my own breakfast.

Vince watched me stomp around the kitchen and he sighed before he pulled his phone out of his pocket.

"Well, Gianni just texted me and your breakfast is in the microwave. He said he had to do something real quick" Vince read out, scrolling though his phone. My anger disappeared and I giggled to myself.

Gianni made me breakfast? I wondered if he cooked as amazingly as Tino but that didn't matter. I had both of them now.

Did that make me selfish?

Two men all to myself.

"No way" I mumbled, pursing my lips. Vince snapped his fingers in front of me and I blinked, looking up at him.

"Dio. You were talking to yourself. You sure you're okay?" He frowned, his eyes looking over me and I nodded.

"Can I talk to Gianni?" I held my palm out and Vince looked away from me, typing away on his phone.

"Can I?" I asked, pouting at him and he sighed.

"You're annoying. Has anyone ever told you that?" Vince places the phone in front of me and I grinned. I picked the phone up while Vince went to get my breakfast -I hoped.

"Yup. My brother" I exhaled, thinking about Tolu. I hadn't thought about my mom in a while or tolu. It was a good thing.

Slowly, I had come to realize that she had overdone the 'protective' mother thing a little. The world wasn't as 'wicked' as she claimed it to be.

My face was on the screen of the phone and I waited as it rang.

"Why is he taking so long?" I mumbled and curled my finger around the ends of my cornrows.

Gianni placed my food on the table and my stomach lurched as I stared at it. I wasn't eating that.

"What is that?" I whispered in disgust just as Gianni's face popped up on the screen.

"Dolcezza..." he whispered breathlessly and I grinned. His brown hair was slicked to the side and beads of perspiration dotted his forehead.

"Hey Gianni!" I giggled and he smiled softly, my heart skipped at the motion. He was beautiful.

I could see that he donned a black shirt that had the top button open, showing off his tattoos.

"How's my angel doing? Did you see the breakfast I made you?" My smile dropped and I frowned.

"Why didn't Tino make my breakfast?" I mumbled and Vince laughed while Gianni's smile dropped.

"It's healthy food. Unlike what Tino feeds you, bambino. I'm gonna tell him to cut down on your sugar" he grunted out and I groaned out.

"But this doesn't taste nice!...at all!" I grumbled and he narrowed his eyes at me like he was contemplating on what to do to me.

"Fine, dolcezza. This one time, you can have cereal but I'm talking to Tino about your sugar" I scoffed and his frown slowly disappeared. No way in hell was I going to eat that. I would've gotten something else to eat sooner or later.

"You look beautiful, Angel...truly beautiful" his voice turned deeper and I smiled at him, fiddling with the end of my top shyly.

"Thank you. When are you coming back?" I placed the phone on the table as my hand was already tired. He glanced at something on the side and he frowned.

He grunted out something inaudible but my thirsty subconscious came back. Raving about his chin and supple lips. Reminding me about the night I had seen him kiss Tino. It made my core tingle and I wanted to see more.
More than just...kisses.

"I'll be there in an hour or two, Angel. Is there something you want me to get for you?" He smiled and I shook my head. I just wanted him back home.

"Alright, take care of yourself Si?" I nodded and he hesitated before he hung up like he still had something to say. I turned to Vince who was already eating the tasteless food.

"Gianni said to get me cereal" I pursed my lip and he eyed me before he shook his head.

A few minutes later, I had finished breakfast and was lying on the couch, watching spongebob while Vince sat down on the couch next to me.
I glanced at him and he seemed to be quite interested in the cartoon he complained so much about. I narrowed my eyes at him and he turned to me with a raised brow.

"Si, bambino. What do you want?" He asked and I shook my head before pursing my lips.

"Are you married?" I blurted out and he chuckled, shaking his head.

"I once was...but I guess some things aren't meant to be" his eye spoke of a sad tale. He didn't meet my gaze as he said those words but he had a broken smile on his face.

"What happened to her?" I whispered, my heart clenching in pain for him. He laughed but it wasn't as humorous as it always was.

"It wasn't a 'her'. But he uh...he wasn't who I thought he was" he shook his head and I pouted, feeling sad for him. I crawled towards him and hugged him tight. He inhaled and wrapped his arms around me.

I had never had a friend before. Except my mom and that wasn't even something I could help. It was either I was friends with my crackhead brother or my overprotective mother.

However, by choice, Vince had become my friend. I could almost feel his pain and he hurt that he had been through something like that because he was a good person. He didn't deserve that.

Hola! Hello! Ciao! Bawo ni? What's popping?

These characters are all -in a sense- a part of me, yes? So, basically, if you love these characters...you automatically love me!
I don't wanna hear nothing else. That's the logic.
