Wow drama queen

Unedited

The moment I heard that voice, I slipped out of the guy's grip and ran to hug the person whom I discovered was matoe.

"John what happened?"

I heard matoe asked with a baffled tone of voice as I was still wrapped around him.

Yes, I was hugging matoe as if my life depended on him and somehow it did.

" oh it's it's..." the John guy was stuttering and then I heard him sigh. "it's nothing I was  just trying to introduce myself to your sister and she got scared." He crackled with a nervous laugh.

Seriously? I wished I could scream 'liar' at his face but his threat was playing fresh in my head and I know if I should face him now, I will certainly just give up and die

"Actually, for some reason, she gets scared easily so I'll advise you to keep your distance from her for now," Matoe said mildly.

"Alright capo," the John guy said,  I  heard footsteps and then the shutting of the door.

"he's gone Clarrissa" matoe cooed in my ears.

I was hesitant but I slowly pulled away from him gradually. Fright still ripping my chest and crushing my entire being.

"C mom baby you don't  have to be scared of John." Matoe cupped my face and was using his thumb to caress my cheeks. "He is one of our men but he's considered a brother to us already"

A brother? A brother indeed. I will maybe be dense but not that dumb to not be able to read between the lines on something obvious. If I remember correctly. That guy had come to threaten me not to expose him to the de costas maybe probably mistaking me for Rechel because I don't know that guy, how much more his secrets but the whole point I'm driving at is that, he must certainly be a backstabber.

He is probably working something against my brothers behind their backs and maybe Rechel knows about it that's why he came to threaten me in place of her to keep silent.

Should I tell matoe about it?  No, I can't get myself in any trouble. I've already been enough.

"W..well I don't like him," I say instead, it came out in mutters.

"It's okay. Darling " Matoe smiled as he pats my hair and pulled me into a hug. He asked me to follow his breath and I did. He exhaled a couple of times and inhales, I followed every step and gradually I became calm.

"So why did you  come here?" Ask matoe after we've pulled away from the hug.

"I.., I was hungry so I came to get some food" I instantly regretted saying that cause Mateo's once lively face compressed into a deep frown, he gazed at me like I'd done the most unbelievable thing.

I hope it isn't angry at me.

Terror crossed me at the thought of that.

"I... I know I shouldn't have done that Without permission.  I was just really really very hungry." I pleaded while picking on my nails. 

" wow, you don't have to apologize for anything. I'm excited to hear that. It means you have finally decided to fit yourself family" Matoe bubbled with an elated smile as though he'd won the lottery. It instant change of moons was quite weird. One minute he was looking like he was going to kill me out maybe so I thought and now he's looking like an innocent baby.

"And I guess we are just the same dear.  I am hungry too so I came to prepare something for myself. But now that you are here I'm gonna have to prepare for two stomachs." He said hysterically and I beamed with a timid smile.

Matoe got himself busy with the kitchen utensils. I tried offering a helping hand but takes the bowl away from me and asked me to seat on the counter while I watched him do the job.

He starts bringing out different ingredients from the fridge and lockers getting gingered up to cook.

"Do you know how to prepare pizza?" He smiled at me as he had every ingredient set on the table.

"No" I shook my head.

"Then do me the honor of being the one to teach you then.  can I?"

Wait... should that be a question? I should be the one cooking even and not the other way round.

"Of..of course, you can," I said with a nervous smile, cornering my both lips.

He grinned cheerfully and got himself clad in an apron and a chef cap.

He looked so much like a professional chef. I watched him keenly as he first chopped all the vegetables, fast and furious like a pro. Everything he did, he did with diligence and speed. Even though he was fast, I still got the recipe right-at least some parts of it. he's such a great teacher and an excellent cook.

"You...are an excellent cook" I complimented him while he was clearing out the diets as the pizza was baking in the oven.

"Don't be too quick to judge. Let's wait for results." He said jokingly and I chuckled.

After a few minutes. Pizza was done. He dished his plate and also dished mine out. "Would you take the dining or here?"

"Here...anything you are okay with.."

he nodded and dropped the plate beside me on the counter.

He didn't let me touch it, he dished it out for me and did everything to me like I was some princess. Honestly, I felt so much like a prince. My ex-brothers never cook for me there are some times when I cook and mom isn't around, they'll eat up everything and leave me the ruminant. A weak smile remained stamped on my face as I watch matoe serve me.

"Do you like it?" He asked when I took a bite from the pizza.

"Wow it's so yummy" I complimented with a mouth full.

"Thank you  Grazie Mille mio adorabilissimo bambina"

matoe grinned and sits with me on the counter.

"Ugh, what does that mean?" I'd always want to ask them that question each time they speak Italian but never got the courage. Since I'm kind of getting free with matoe I picked the courage.

"It means My most adorable baby," he said and I nodded then looked down to face my food.

"Wait... you really don't understand Italian?" He suddenly asked and I turn to meet a frown on his face.

"Not really. Actually, I didn't grow up here in Italy. I was raised in the US and it was just last year we moved down to Italy cause my mother got transferred here for work. So I don't understand Italian even though I came from here"

"Wow, I see. Don't worry baby I'm going to teach you."

"Thank you" I really do want to learn Italian. It'll be of great advantage to me. Now that I live among Italian-speaking people, I'll really need to understand it just so I won't be entirely lost in case they are planning something against me... yeah ridicule me all you want but If there's one thing I've learned in life that's to be prepared for the unexpected.

Matoe and I  both ate our pizzas together. It was quite fun to cook and eat with matoe. It's the first time I'm together alone with him. He may look cold but he's very cool.

We talked about random kinds of stuff. He asked about my thigh.

I found out that he loves cooking.

Cooking is his passion and he plans to further his career in catering school. He will really Succeed because he's such a tremendous cook.

Rechel's P.O.V,

When I first arrived at the mansion with Angry bird and his brother , I had Anticipated they will ask about my gang but they didn't. The elder one just asked the angry bird to walk me down to some room he regarded as mine.

It was the same room I was given before, yeah the same disgusting room with all the pinks and teddies. Seriously what do they take me for? Some 5 years old baby?

I couldn't accept the room and I didn't bother to keep it to myself, I told angry bird about it but insisted that I stayed in the room and then left me alone with the claim that he have some business to attend to. The whole thing got grenades exploding in my head. I couldn't stand the Fragile Aura the room gave me and so in rage, I Throw off all the teddies and anything pink.

I couldn't stay in the messed up not for a moment so I went out and headed to the same room where I had found some cocaines that night I escaped.

I went there entirely in hopes of finding drugs, it was just the only room I know in this house.

When I entered, the room was empty as before. I went to check the same spot I've found sole cocaines the other day but it wasn't there anymore. I just led there on the bed busy playing game with my phone. It doesn't take long before somewhere appeared from nowhere. It was one of the De costas. His eyes were red and had white powder on his nose like someone who was high on drugs.

He mistook me for clarrisa but realized I wasn't but Rechel was so belated to see me. He told me that he was matoe my third elder brother and I also discovered that he owns the room.

Since I had nowhere to go I just remained in the room and got into talking with him. I came to realize that he owns the cocaines I took the other day when I asked him about them. He scolded me for doing that and warned me that drugs aren't acceptable by the De Costas which was quite bullshit to me.

To my shocker, he told me he doesn't entirely comply with the rule. He's secretly addicted to drugs and he has a secret room inside his room where he takes drugs so his brothers never find him out. We talked about random things and honestly, I liked him.

Basically because well, I discovered we shared a few things in common. He loves black and I adore black.

His room was literally decorated in black which was just my ideal room.

He takes drugs for pleasure and though I never started taking drugs for pleasure but now it's more of a pleasure to me.  He uses The f word so much at every fucking line of a sentence. That's something I don't talk without and I love it more when someone vibes with me in that phrase.

So I was enjoying the company of Matoe until the eldest De Costa Came to interrupt my fun and called me down to his office.

I don't know why but I just don't like him. Maybe it's because he gives off a terrific Aura which I'm low-key scared and I don't like the people that I'm afraid of.

"I hope you aren't gonna ask about my gang cause I bloody won't say a shit" I snapped as I was sitting before him at his office.

He gazes at me for like eternity, his dark eyes sending chills all over my body.

"I Don't need to ask about that. Because I'm going to  find out soon." He adjusted himself on his seat and cleared his throat.

I would never admit this out, but I low-key felt a sense of relief to hear that. No matter the vile things I've heard about the De costas, Maximo is the only one devil I fear the most. His sight alone sometimes makes me urinate on myself and if he could abuse me and torture the life out of me over some little mistake, I don't want to imagine what he'll do to me if I dare to betray him.

The De' Costas may be able to protect themselves from Maximo and even fight against him, but I can't do that.

"It's about Mum. What do you know about Mum?" He asked sternly.

"Mine or yours?" I asked nonchalantly and earned a dead stare from him.

"Ours" he eventually said.

"Well, if you are talking about the lady in my pendant. I already told you I don't know shit about her and my mother...well she's none of your business." I spat.

"ARE YOU SERIOUSLY TESTING MY PATIENCE!!" I wasn't expecting him to yell all of a sudden, he didn't just yell but bang his fist on the table. I flinched, my fear of him materializing.

"She... she's in prison. Satisfied?" I tried to sound but my voice shook. God, I hate the fact that I was scared.

"Which prison?" His voice was dead calm down.

"I Don't know. Perhaps it's not like you'll do anything about..."

"I'll like to meet her soon." He cut me off and sighed. "now off you go."

"Well just so you know I don't like the color design of my... of that room. Seriously pink?" I half-yelled while standing up, lowkey avoiding his gaze.

"Don't worry Rechel I'll get someone to reshape it to you and your sister's desired choice but now you'll have to manage it." He said with a soothing tone of voice and my eyes mistakenly found him, I was shocked to meet him smiling at me.

This wasn't the guy who was angry at me seconds ago right?

I didn't say anything to him. I walked and headed to my room. From the moment I walked in, someone flinched on the bed. I looked closely to meet the frightened face of my look-Alike.

Aww, Melo-dramatic.

"Hey!, Rechel...you are back" She muffled after recovering from her terror.

Taking my eyes away from her I scanned the whole room and to my bloody annoyance, all the teddies I'd ridded off were back in their places. The pink duvets are neatly spread on each bed.

"The fuck" I cursed in irritation as I veered towards the other bed. I pulled up the duvet and tossed it away to the floor.

"What? Why did do that?" My look-alike gasped but I ignored her and descended on the teddies. I started flinging them off to the floor.

"What are you doing Rechel please stop it."

After completely getting rid of the teddies, I turned round to face my look alike. "Look at me very well sissy. Do I fucking look like some kids who sleep with teddies?"

"But I'm  pretty sure our  brothers spend money in buying all these and wanted to make us happy." She said softly like someone afraid to talk and picking on the stitches on her thigh. Seriously what's with this girl?

"Yeah, I see you already look like a queen, with your new looks." Though she had some new stitches she looks way better than when I first saw her. She was on a new outfit. Her bum short and the jacket she was wearing scream expensive.

"Kudos to them but if it's okay with you can you fucking stop referring to them as my brothers? The last time I check I don't have a fucking family."

I bloody don't have a family. I don't want a family. The time I needed one is gone.

"Why Don't you want to accept them, Rechel?" My look-alike asked just when I was about to come out of the door. I came to a vault and turned to face, somehow all the blood in my body unconsciously rushed to my eyes.

"I...I... sorry if...I got you angry...I didn't me..mean...to..." she stuttered fearfully and was trembled from the moment I turned to face her.

"Will you stop being so dramatic? If you know you'll offend me by that question why then why DID YOU FUCKING ASK?" My last statement made her flinch and then she did something that shock the living hell out of me, tears came to her eyes and flowed down her cheeks like rivers.

Wow, this girl is such a..such a drama queen. What the crap is making her cry? Not ready for any drama, I just rolled my eyes and turned to the door but at that moment, two people walked in. The eldest de costa and a very young boy...I guess the youngest de costa brother.
