My best friend

After a full-blown debate about who is to pay for the damaged window with Noah, Mirabel finally ceases the argument by making us flip the coin. I won. I don’t know why he just couldn’t let me pay for the damage I made, such a strange man he is. After kisses and hugs from Mirabel and death glares from Noah Williams, I finally left from there. When I got home my father was pacing up and down until his eyes lands on me. I watched as relief washed over his face. Damon rolled his eyes at the drama, both Innocent and Luca instantly rose to their feet rushing towards me. They pulled me in a tight group hug. I whimpered.

“Hey you beasts, you’re suffocating me,” I whined and they released me from their awfully large arms.

“Where the hell did you disappear to for the whole two hours Patricia? We searched all over town for you.” Luca’s authoritative voice boomed in our sitting room with power.

“Brother, don’t talk to Lu like that. She’s sensible enough not to put herself in danger.” Damon came to my rescue. He always protects me from these two’s protectiveness and I highly appreciate that. I gave him a warm smile and move to his side to hug him.

“Sensible enough? Anything could have happened to her in two hours Damon. Tell her to be sensible enough not to hide from her bodyguards or else she should say goodbye to all her sports cars.” Innocent threatened. Is he insane? I can’t live without my babies. I look at him with horror.

“Dad, please save me from them. They are ruining my life.” I pleaded with my father just as I always do when Luca and Damon go all possessive on me.

“Princess, come here.” I went running straight into my dad’s waiting arms. I’m the lastborn after all. I pulled that pouting face that Mirabel pulled on me earlier.

“Dad, please tell them not to take my babies from me and I promise I will go everywhere with my bodyguards, even in the loo if I have to.” I begged fully knowing what my dad can never say no to me.

“Father, she always pulls that on you. How can you not see that she will still disappear to God knows where without any protection?” Innocent reprimanded dad. My father was patting my hair soothingly while listening to them. I pulled out my tongue at him and he shot a death glare my way with a threatening groan.

“I think you’re spoiling her way too much father. She needs to understand that we need her protected at all times for her own sake.” Luca argued while looking at me with concern in his eyes. I know that look.

“Tell me brother, who is sending threats this time?” I asked my brother while giving him a don’t-you-dare-lie-to-me look. He sighed.

“The Russian Mafia leader is on our tail and I’m afraid this time we cannot buy him off.” He looked at me worriedly. I take a good look at all four of them, they all look exhausted and my disappearance today just made things worse. With a frown on my face, I went straight to the kitchen.

“See what you have done you two douche-bags, now she is pissed, she will probably break every cup in the kitchen.” a small smile tugged on the corner of my mouth. Trust Damon to make those two regretful every time.

“Sis, please forgive us, you know that we were only trying to protect you,” Luca said while placing his hand on my shoulder.

“Yes, we will never scold you like that again. We will even buy you another sports car if it means that you won’t be that mad at us again.” Innocent added. I look at dad and Damon and we both burst into a fit of laughter. I can’t believe that I fooled them again. I knew what was coming next so I jumped over the kitchen counter flawlessly as I have done many times before. I heard dad commenting that one day I will fall on my butt but I don’t have time to dwell on that because Luca and Innocent were on my tail. I run as fast as I can to the one place I know they both hate at this time of the day and threw myself in the pool with a splash.

“One day we will catch you, Patricia Bianco.” Innocent contributed breathily. I giggled

“In your dreams brothers.” I sent them flying kisses and they rolled their eyes at me. Kids. Knowing how fast they really are, I know for a fact that since I was young they always let me win on purpose.

It has been days with me being an obedient sister to my brothers so they won’t doubt me even for a second. So today I finally convinced Innocent to go to a club with me. Our club was fully packed with crazy lights all over. Damn, Damon is really good at this interior decorations thing.

“Whatever you do, you should not take off your necklace Lu, please!”

“Brother I promise, now relax a little and enjoy yourself.” I left innocent at the bar and went to the dance floor. Taylor Swift’s trouble rolled in my ears and in no time I was bouncing up and down on the dance floor. This is the reason I come to clubs, just to jump up and down on the dance floor like a lunatic because my dance moves are lame. After some time I was feeling pressed so I went straight to the bathroom. I quickly sent Innocent a text that I was heading there. Knowing him, he will turn this club upside down in a second if he turns and his eyes didn’t spot me.I was walking in an almost less noisy corridor when I heard a girl’s voice. Walking towards it, I saw a guy that seems decent but seems not to leave the poor girl alone so I felt the need to intervene.

“Hey big guy, she said no so leave her alone.” He turned to look at me. He looks oddly familiar but I just can’t pin where I have seen him before.

“I don’t want trouble, I just wanted to talk to my wild-cat for a minute but she is always fighting me so I will just leave.” He said politely, gave an adoring glance towards the beautiful brunette before he turns and leaves. She looks annoyed though.

“I swear one day I will scratch that stupid billionaire’s eyes out.” She said while demonstrating with her hands I giggled and she sent a stinky eye the way that forced me to shut my mouth for once. Those eyes really do feel like they can shoot lasers.

“Hey, I am in agony and you’re laughing?” she asked, agony from being liked by a billionaire? She is nuts.

“So wildcat huh?” I teased.

“That’s what he calls me after I almost scratched her perfect face the day we met. He is so annoying that handsome billionaire. He thinks every girl in town is a slave to his charms, I hate him for being so damn attractive.” She ranted on and on and I look at her with amusement if, she only knows how foolish she sounded. After she finally realized that we are total strangers she turned to me.

“Why do I feel like I have seen you before? I am Kurter Udinov.”

You must have seen me on TV or in magazines, Patricia Bianco.” I watched as her eyes widen in realization.

“The model with hot brothers, oh my God. Caroline will flip if she knew I met you.” She was jumping up and down in excitement. Oh well, that’s the sad thing about being famous, people just want to meet you, show you off, and dump you right where they find you.

“You know, I don’t have many friends so if you want to hang out…” before I finish my statement I was ambushed with a bear hug. Wait, is she crying? What to do?

“You know, I don’t have friends either, not even one. Caroline is my cousin’s best friend, not mine. I don’t even care if you turn out to be a serial killer, you saved me today so I know that you’re a decent person.” Oh, I embraced her tightly, her pain is mine, I guess her wildness chase people away from her and for me, it’s my dangerous character. Well, convincing my brothers to come to this club today turns out to be the best decision I have ever made, you know why, it earned me a best friend. Now I just have to convince them to adjust to this change.
