Emi POV
I groan at the feeling of my burning thigh, why haven't I taken pain medicine you may ask?, because I hate medication, I hate swallowing pills and I rather just be in pain. Call me stupid but everybody is different and everybody has their reasons.
I laid in bed wrapped in my blankets, I had no clue what time it was but I knew it was day since the sun was attempting to shine through my closed curtains. I know I should've been up, but it hurt to walk not to mention I'd rather just stay in bed for today...maybe for the whole week. I just wanna avoid Lorenzo's mother right now.
Whatever my mother did to her must've been really fucked up, for this woman to go as far as to stab me in the fucking thigh. I need answers now, I'm tired of the secrets and being left in the damn dark, it's annoying not to mention I feel dumb not knowing everything.
"I need to speak with my mother..." I mumble to myself. I close my eyes
I'll probably try to contact her tonight.
"M! How long do you plan to stay in your room!" Sorin yelled as he burst into my room.
I mentally curse myself for not locking the door, maybe if I pretend to be sleep he'll go away.
"Really? Playing the pretend to be sleep card?" He questioned as he approached my bed.
I don't say anything, I honestly wasn't in the mood to be bother, even by Sorin. When it got quiet I had questioned if he left, but my question was soon answered when I felt the left side of my bed weigh down, then came a pair of strong arms around my waist. I grin played across my face at the familiar scent of Sorin, chocolate and vanilla. A strange scent for somebody apart of the Yakuza, but I wasn't complaining.
He pulled me closer till my back was to his front, and he rested his chin on top of my head. Maybe I did wanna be bothered by him.
"Valentina told me what happen" He said.
"How would she know? She wasn't there" I said
"She said Elijah told her" He responded
I hum in response, makes since, he probably told Lorenzo to, maybe that's why he hasn't come to bother me about work, either that or he just doesn't want to be bothered by me.
"She also told me you've been cooped up in your room all day" He added.
"Since when do you two talk?" I asked
"We don't, she came looking for me, my first instinct was to ignore her but she wouldn't stop bugging me so I decided to listen" He said.
I hum in response and turn around so I'm now facing him, his raven hair was tied into a bun, some of the hair was down in the back and his bangs fell in his face. I always loved Sorin's hair, it was long and silky, maybe I just loved it cause it was silky and I really have a thing for silk. He said he's thought about cutting it but I refuse to let him, maybe one day but not now.
I reach up moving his bangs from his face, revealing his dark brown eyes. That's when I noticed he was wearing his glasses, I snicker
"Welcome back nerd boy" I grin.
Sorin frowns at the nickname and removes his glasses, he shoves them in his pocket then looks back at me with a pout. I laugh
"Did you have to remove them?" I asked, fake pouting
"I hate you" He said
"I love you too" I counter, leaning closer to kiss his nose.
"Ew gross, I gotta bleach that now" He said, scrunching up his face in disgust.
I look at him offended.
"Anata o fakku, gesu yarō" I said, pinching his nose
[Japanese for: fuck you, asshole]
"Ah ow, let go!" He whines, pulling my hand away.
I smile at my mini success, while Sorin rubs his nose.
"Anyway, about you being in your room all day" He starts. I roll my eyes, and turn onto my back so I'm staring up at the ceiling.
"I haven't been in here all day" I said.
"M...is 5 o' clock in the afternoon" He said.
Damn, I knew it was late but I didn't think it was that late.
"Did you even eat today?" He asked.
Right on cue my stomach began to growl, I pretend like I didn't hear it hoping maybe Sorin didn't.
"That's answers that question" He said sitting up "Come on, let's put food in your stomach"
"I think I'll pass" I said, turning back on my side and wrapping myself in my blanket.
"M, I wasn't asking" He said, I could hear his footsteps as he walked around the bed and over to my side.
"And I don't care, I'm not leaving this room, there is a fucking crazy mother lurking around and I'd like to avoid being stabbed anywhere else" I said.
"Oh? Is the She Devil scared of someone other than her own mother" Sorin teased.
My jaw clenched and I sit up to face him.
"First of all, I'm not scared of her, I just wanna avoid getting hurt by her again, she stabbed me in the thigh for fucks sake" I argue.
"We'll only be in the kitchen, I doubt she'll go in there while we're in there" He said
"You just jinxed it, plus it hurts to walk" I said, laying back down.
"Well there's an easy solution to that" He said
At first I didn't understand what he meant until I felt my body being lifted into the air.
"Sorin! What the fuck! Put me down!" I shout as he throws me over his shoulder.
"Nope, you can come back and lay down once you've eaten, and you said it hurts to walk" He said, walking towards my door.
"Are you serious right now!" I shout as I start squirming around.
"If I drop you, you can't get mad, you're the one doing all the moving" He said, walking out my room.
"Ok ok, I'll go eat but let me get on your back, this is uncomfortable" I said as I stop my movements.
"This isn't a trap so you can just run right?" Sorin questioned.
Damn, he knows me to well, but even if I wanted to I wouldn't get far.
"Right" I mumbled.
"Good" He smiles.
He lets me go causing me to fall to the ground.
"Ow! What the fuck you asshole!" I yell, standing up and grabbing him by his ear.
He laughs
"It's not funny! I'm already injured and you're just trying to injure me more" I said.
His laughter only got louder.
"Per l'amor del cielo, siete entrambi fastidiosi" An annoyed voice said from behind us.
[Italian for: For fucks/gods sake, you both are annoying]
Me and Sorin turned to face a very unhappy Sofia, I don't know what she said but I'm sure Sorin did.
"Well hello to you too beautiful" Sorin said in a flirty tone.
"Call me beautiful again, and I'll cut your tongue off" She threatened.
"It was only a compliment geez," Sorin said.
"I don't need or want your fucking compliments" She hissed.
"Ooo someone's in a pissy mood" He teased, grinning widely.
I saw the look of murder in Sofia's eyes, she inhaled deeply before turning away and storming off. As soon as she's out of sight I smack the back of his head.
"Ow what the hell?!" He whines
"You're suppose to be getting close to her dibshit, not pushing her further away" I whisper yell.
"Relax, I know what I'm doing" He argues.
"Do you?" I questioned
"Yeah, I do, so chill" He said, bending down "Now shut up and get on"
I roll my eyes, I hope he knows what he's doing because from the looks of it he's just pissing her off.
I sigh as I get on his back, he stands up straight and makes his way down stairs and to the kitchen.
"So how's life as a bodyguard?" I asked, resting my chin on his shoulder
"Meh, boring, all we do is stand all day and keep watch, like I have to beg Alice to give me a break" He complained.
"Dumbass, that's the job of a bodyguard, and who's Alice? Tell me you're not talking to another girl when you're suppose to be talking to Sofia " I said
"No, Alice is a dude, he's actually name is Alessandro but I call him Alice to piss him off" He explains.
I mentally facepalm myself.
"Really Sorin? You're suppose to be trying to get these people to like you" I said, irritated with the raven haired male.
At this point I should've brought Ivan
....
On second thought Sorin was the better choice, not only would I probably be fucking Ivan instead of focusing on the job, but Sorin keeps be entertained, plus he knows Italian and the only languages Ivan knows is English and Russian. He wouldn't be much use.
"I am, and your getting on my ass what about you? How has things been going for you hm?" He asked.
"Well...I'm getting there...slowly, very slowly" I sigh.
Honestly, I'm ready for this job to be over, I could be in France right now but nooo I'm still here trying to get this fucking family to trust me.
I hate this.
"Hm," He hums in response "Oh yeah, I spoke with Ivan"
"What really? How?" I asked
"I stole Alice phone to contact him," He said
"Did you ask him about my mom?" I asked, hoping he got something.
"Nope, he said he didn't know anything, which I expected, your mother is a very secretive person, but I told him to snoop and he said he'll try" He explained
"I doubt he'll find anything, she's also good at keeping shit hidden" I reply.
"True" He said "Oh yeah, your boyfriend was worried about you"
I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Who?" I asked
"Ivan" Sorin said in a duh tone.
I scrunch my face up.
"He's not my boyfriend" I said, annoyed.
Sorin knows what my feelings are towards Ivan, I don't see him that way and I never will, he's just a fuck buddy to me, and I hate the fact that he developed feelings even though we both made an agreement not to. I've made it obvious that I'm not attracted to him romantically, but Ivan is stubborn and headstrong.
"Mhm, at this point wither date him or stop fucking him, his feelings only grow stronger the more ya sleep with him" He explained.
"Un, un" I mumble
[Japanese for: yeah,yeah]
Sorin walks into the kitchen and placed me down on a stool, he walks over to the fridge and opens it.
"What are you in the mood for?" He asked.
"Pickles" I beamed happily
"Ew, no, pick something else" He said
I frown
"You just asked what I'm in the mood for, and that's what I want" I argued.
"Well, pickles are gross, so pick something else" He said.
Some days I just can't with Sorin.
"Well, give me those bag of chips on the counter" I said, pointing to the large bag of Lay's chips.
Sorin closed the fridge and grabbed the bag, tossing it to me. I didn't waste time opening the bag and shoving a bunch of chips in my mouth, I smile at the taste. Sorin grabs a bottle of water from the fridge before walking over and taking a seat next to me, he places the water down near me.
"Hank ou" I said through a mouth full of chips
(Thank you)
Sorin scrunches up his nose
"Chew your damn food first," He said
I roll my eyes, eating another mouth full of chips. I was at peace eating until I felt a finger poke my cheek, I glance over at Sorin to see him staring at me with a grin on his face, I raise an eyebrow confused to why the fuck his finger was in my cheek.
"You have such fat cheeks, especially when you have a mouth full of food" He said.
What the fuck?!
I opened my mouth to say something smart back but he beat me to it.
"It's cute, you're like a chipmunk" He smiles.
Did he just insult me without insulting me?
"Fuck off" I said, when I swallowed my food.
I grab the bottle of water and chug half the bottle.
"What? I was complimenting you" He said, shrugging
"Yeah, right after you insulted me" I snap back.
"There you are" A deep voice said.
Our attention went to the doorway and there stood a talk man, he had brunette hair and dark brown eyes, he was honestly hot but then again everyone in this house is fucking hot. The man was dressed in the same attire as Sorin, so I made a guess that he was also a bodyguard.
"Alice!" Sorin beamed
"Stop fucking calling me that" The man said, he was clearly annoyed by Sorin.
"I'm guessing your Alessandro or do you prefer Alice?" I questioned.
Alessandro frowned at me.
"Alessandro" He said. "And I'm guessing you're the She Devil"
"Emi is fine thank you, nice to meet you, I hope Sorin hasn't been to much trouble for you" I said placing a hand on Sorin's shoulder.
"He's been a pain in my ass, how the hell do you deal with him twenty-four-seven?" He asked.
I shrug, I really didn't know, maybe it's because I've known him since we were kids, so over time I got use to him. Well actually, Sorin wasn't always this way, when we first met he was such a boring person, no flavor, no personality, then again around the time I met him he was going through something, but it took me three years to get him to act himself, three long fucking years.
"You're being over dramatic" Sorin butts in.
"Am I? Since you've been here you have wandered off, complained, and aggravate the hell out of me, not to mention your attention span is shit" Alessandro said.
Ok now I couldn't say anything about Sorin's attention span because it is shit, this man cannot stay focus for 5 minutes, and it's like every little thing catches his eye. It was worse when we were younger so I can say he has improved a bit.
Sorin only shrugs
"Can't help that, I have ADHD" He said.
"And why aren't you taking medication for it?" Alessandro asked.
"Why would I? it's not that bad" Sorin protested.
"Not that bad my ass" Alessandro responded.
Sorin was right though, it really wasn't that bad, like I've said he was much worse when we were younger.
"Anyways, why are you here?" Sorin asked
"Obviously to take you back so you can get back to work" Alessandro responded.
"Oh right, I almost forgot I wandered off again" Sorin chuckles.
Alessandro sighs deeply before grabbing the back of Sorin's neck and dragging him out the kitchen
"Bye M!" He shouts as he's dragged out.
I laugh, he's nothing but an idiot, makes me wonder is he can actually get Sofia so like him.
I roll the bag of chips up deciding I had enough of them, I finish off my bottle of water before getting up and tossing it in the trash. Damn it I should've had one of those two carry me back to my room, oh well.
I leave the kitchen heading back to my room, on the way there I just do happen to run into the person I thought I'd never see today.
"So this is where you are" Lorenzo said, looking down at me.
Fuck, is it just me or did his voice get sexier.
Really Emi? This again, chill out.
"Were you looking for me?" I asked
"Not really" He mumbled.
I roll my eyes
"Well if you weren't looking for me then I'm going to go back to my room" I said, going around him.
I didn't get a chance to take another step before he grabbed my arm. I glance at him.
"Elijah told me what my mother did" He said
"Aw and you came to check up on me" I gushed.
He rolls his eyes letting go of my arm.
"No, I came to tell you to try to stay out of her way, she won't kill you but she can injure you" He explained.
A smile forms on my face as I stare up at the male in front of me. He raised an eyebrow
"Why are you smiling?" He asked
"Because, you care about me" I said.
Lorenzo frowns when the false claim leaves my mouth, of course I know he didn't care but it's funny to mess with him, he gets upset over nothing.
"I don't care about you," He said coldly, but I wasn't done I wanted to mess with him further.
"Yeah ya do, just admit it" I grin, poking his arm teasingly.
He was quick to grab my hand and grip it tightly, he yanks me closer until our faces are inches apart. He gives me a serious look
"There's nothing to admit Ms. Petrov, I care little to nothing about you and the only reason you are still standing here is because you are of use to me, so don't think other wise" He said darkly.
I smirk as I lean closer, enough to the point our noses are touching.
"My my, did I hit a nerve Mr. Larusso?" I said, keeping eye context with him.
We stare at each other for what felt like hours but I knew was only a few minutes, he didn't move nor did I.
"Never in my life have a met a woman so..." He trailed off at the end.
"So what Lorenzo?" I asked, urging him to continue.
"So..." He said leaning closer.
"So?" I questioned, leaning closer as well.
"Fucking annoying" He said, pulling away.
I stood there stunned.
"Who the fuck are you calling annoying?! If anything you're the annoying one! Always making me think you're gonna do something but then you don't, do you know how fucking irritating that is?" I asked.
"I bet it's quit irritating but I wouldn't know because you're the only one bothered by it" He said, turning his back on me and walking away.
I felt anger rise in me, how could one man piss me off so much. He doesn't even try most times but when he does I just want to punch him in that perfect face of his. I clench my jaw and my already bald up fist tighten.
Calm down Emi, don't do something you'll regret
"Dick!" I shout as he turns a corner and disappears.
I hope that asshole heard me.
I sigh, trying to calm down, I turn and to continue walking to my room but I scream and jump back seeing Marco standing there with a grin of his face. I roll my eyes
"What's with the eye roll? You should be honored to see me" He said as if he was almost offended.
"Honored to see you my ass, I just had to deal with one Larusso brother, I rather not deal with the other, or the rest of his fucking family" I mumble, walking past him.
I mentally scream hearing his footsteps behind me.
"Oh yeah I know, I heard the whole thing" He admitted.
"Erase dropping gets you killed" I said.
He only shrugs.
"It's also gets me what I want" He said.
I stop walking and face him.
"What do you want? I'm tired and want to lay back down" I complain.
"You seem to be interested in my brother, why?" He asked
I frown.
"I'm not interested in your brother, I just like to fuck with him, yeah he's very attractive but other than that no, I have standards and your brother meets none of them" I spoke truthfully.
"Are you sure about that?" He asked
"Yes 100%," I said blandly.
Marco didn't look satisfied with my answer but I couldn't care less.
"Liar" He said.
I furrow my brows.
"How am I a liar?" I asked
"I can tell when people are lying, call me a human lie detector, and you cara, you are lying" He said.
I roll my eyes.
"I'm not lying, I really take no interest in your brother" I said.
At least I don't think I do....
"Mhm sure you don't," He said.
"I'm leaving" I said leaving him standing in the hallway.
God he's annoying.
