Chapter 10 Am I babysitting kids

Ginevra

I ignored the tension between the two who stared at each other wanting to argue while I peacefully ate my pepperoni pizza. "So we should all go shopping together and have some fun," I said as I wiped my mouth with a tissue.

They stared at each other, sending daggers with their eyes. I rolled my eyes at their childishness and grabbed some of Amelia's fries since she wasn't paying attention to it anyway, She swatted my hands away angrily. "Don't touch my food!" she hissed.

"Well someone's on their period" stated Elena annoyed.

"I'm pregnant!"

"Oh, no wonder you look like a whale"

I sighed and got up from my seat quickly heading for the door not wanting to be in their drama. Outside was way better than in there, they made the entire restaurant tense.

I noticed a store close by and walked in. It was a tiny shop that sold candles, I remember back in the days when I was obsessed with candles and their scents. I grabbed one and snifted it, raspberry and coconut, I'm definitely bringing this one home with me. I grabbed some small change from my purse and bought it.

Amelia and Elena were soon brought out of the restaurant by security guards. "What trouble did you too cause?" I asked not surprised.

"This idiot thought it was a great idea to disrespect a staff member!" yelled Amelia angrily.

"She didn't want to give me extra ketchup!" Elena bawled.

I breathed in deeply trying to calm myself down. What did I get myself into?

"I need some clothes, is Either you both shut your traps or you both go home," I said and placed my hands on my hips. I felt like I was babysitting children, I walked straight ahead looking for a place with expensive clothes. I entered a fashion boutique, and there were many designer clothes. Perfect!

I turned around smiling at the two of them. "Guys let's buy everything that we want in here and it's on Leornado" I beamed and flexed the black card in my hand. Elena had given me the card earlier to shop for anything that I wanted since she already had her own money.

Their eyes brightened up at my words.

"I wonder if there are any baby clothes here," said Amelia as she gazed around. I felt sorry for Allision, Ever since Amelia got pregnant all she ever did was buy a ton of baby clothes in all sizes. Their house probably doesn't have any space because it's filled with baby stuff.

Amelia ran off to the children's section while Elena and I stared at the sexy-looking clothes. There were many dresses that caught my eye as well as cute-looking underwear. Elena smirked as she picked up a purple jumper that cost ten thousand dollars. "This one is pricy, I like it" she smiled.

I grabbed all the dresses and went into the dressing room, Each and every dress made my curves stand out. "I'm buying all of these" I stated as Elena walked into another dressing room.

"Get more!"

I met up with Amelia who stood cooing over a baby who giggled at her funny faces. I could tell that she's going to be a great mother who will take very good care of her children. I wanted to be a mother as well, but I'm in no condition to be one. Life right now is hard as it is...

I walked up to the cashier and paid for our stuff, We walked out hand in hand and all agreed on going to the spa. When we arrived there we got our facials done, our nails, and our toes.

"I feel fabulous" grinned Elena as she stared at her now painted nails. We bid goodbye to Amelia when Allision picked her up. Allision was shocked to see me here in America, especially with one of our family's enemies Elena De Luca. He mouthed to me that we would talk soon and I nodded.

Elena and I took a taxi back to her house. I enjoyed the peaceful ride back and the soft tunes the taxi driver played, I wished the rain had fell then it would have been more enjoyable.

Leonardo sat in the living room reading a book with a cigarette in his hands as he blew out smoke. He had a bottle of red wine and a glass on the table near him. He looked like he had just come from the shower, with his wet hair that fell down his face, and a towel wrapped around his neck. He had on blue jean pants and no shirt which displayed his perfectly toned abs. I shook off the thoughts from my mind as we made eye contact.

"I assumed ya'll bellies are full right?" He asked. I shrugged my shoulders and sat down with my shopping bags.

"Who's idea was it to use two million dollars from my card?"

"Mine" I responded casually and stared at my new acrylic set. It consisted of the color blue with butterflies and a love heart.

"Why didn't you spend seventy million instead"

I looked at him shocked, that was not the reaction, I was hoping for. I wanted him to get angry but it didn't work.

I got up from the chair and climbed up the stairs with my bags in my hand. Now I felt like throwing away each item.

I threw myself on the bed and screamed into the pillow. "How am I supposed to get him angry?"

I walked into the shower and bathed slowly enjoying the water. I got up and put on some comfy clothing and white slippers. I found my way to the backyard and smiled up at the night sky. The night came rather quickly, the night has always been my safe place, where I could stay up staring at the shining stars and bright moon. The full moon has always been my favorite, the way it shined upon the earth is just magnificent and when I was a child it made me think that there were hidden mysteries under the full moon. Like after watching H2O mermaids and the way it affected them made me believe that the full moon is indeed special.

I took in a deep breath and allowed myself to meditate. I closed my eyes as I felt the wind blow away my worries. Soon I was rudely disturbed by Leornado's presence.

"What are you doing out here?" he asked as he got close to me.

"Enjoying nature before you rudely interrupted me"

I mustered up the courage to ask him some questions.

"Why did you save me ?"

He looked at me with an emotion that I couldn't recognize.

"Because I care enough to save you from that filthy man," He said.

"If you cared about me then, why did you share my naked pictures on the internet" I yelled pissed at him for lying. Besides, why should he care?

He looked shocked at my outburst. "What do you mean naked pictures, Ginevra?"

I was confused as I gazed at his face. If it wasn't him then who did it? I never stood naked before any other man. He left me with his veins popped out on the side of his neck alerting me that he was angry leaving me to my thoughts, It wasn't Leornado judging by his reaction. Who could have done it? It's true I never looked at those pictures because I was too embarrassed to go look for them, but now I'm debating on whether I should or not.

I lingered more outside, pacing back and forth. It's better if I don't!

I went back inside and sat beside Elena as she watched the movie clueless. She munched on some popcorn and handed me some. "Today was a great day, except I don't like that girl Amelia" She exclaimed.

"Why not?"

"She seems fishy"

I shrugged my shoulders at her response and continued watching the movie. I remembered my mean girl phase back in high school, where I would enjoy these kinds of movies. These kinds of movies made me embrace my dark feminine energy. It made me confident about myself.

Leonardo walked up in front of me and asked me to follow him, I nodded. We walked up the stairs into another room which I assumed was his room. His room looked stunning with the theme of black, he had black bed sheets, a black table with a white lamp, a black mat, and dark brown curtains.

I sat on his bed and stared at his paintings.

"Did you paint these yourself?" I asked staring at one of the paintings that held so much emotion.

"That's not the reason, I brought you here" He responded and took his laptop from his desk. I rolled my eyes at him. Rude much!

He showed me his laptop and there were naked pictures of me on a porn website. The pictures were clearly taken in the low-rank hotel where I went to take a shower. There were pictures of me taking off my clothes and entering the shower.

"I'm sorry that I thought it was you" I responded feeling guilty.

He stayed quiet as he stared at me. He looked like he was thinking deeply about something.

"At midnight I have a job to deal with, Join me, and then I'll forgive you"

"To kill someone?"

"To kill a whole entire gang"
