This morning I woke up covered in sweat like always. I had another nightmare about Chad and Sarah. Even after death they're still haunting me.

I got up and completed part of my morning routine. I completed part of my workout routine then headed to the gym I saw on the way to my room. I stayed there for an hour and a half working on weights and punching. Afterward, I took a shower and changed into some black jeans with some chains and a black crop top.
I walked downstairs and to the kitchen. It was pretty early so I decided to make breakfast for everyone. After setting the table everyone came into the kitchen. Franco ran to the table and began stuffing his mouth.

"Guys this is delicious!"

My "father" came to me a little too fast for what looked like a hug. Me being stupid, I flinched. His face morphed from happiness to confusion to worry.

"Are you okay bambina? Why did you flinch?"

Now all the boys were watching.

"I just don't like physical contact," I said.

He nodded, seeming to take my answer along with my brothers except for Rafeal and Allessandro. I've been here a week and they've been watching me like hawks.

"I didn't know what you all liked so I made a little of everything. You might want to take the girls a plate or get them to come down before everything gets cold," I said.

"Thank you bambina. Don't worry about Lindsay and Katherine. They won't be here for the next 4 - 6 months," dad said. (baby)
"Oh okay. Well enjoy the food I guess."
I was beginning to walk out but was stopped by Nicolo.
"Bambina, aren't you going to eat?"
"I um... I ate while I was cooking. I'm pretty full but you can go."
I was again stopped but this time by Leonardo.
"At least sit with us for a while."

I was going to argue but I don't need them to be suspicious of me at all.
I sat down and just scrolled through my phone.

"Papà. Non è possibile che abbia già mangiato. Stava finendo di mangiare quando siamo entrati. Sono preoccupata per lei. Ha mangiato a malapena quando abbiamo cenato ieri sera. Dovremmo dire qualcosa?," Nicolo asked Alessandro.

(Papa. It is not possible that she has already eaten. She was finishing everything when we entered. I'm worried about her. She barely ate when we had dinner last night. Should we say something)

"Sono d'accordo figliolo. Per ora la lasciamo stare. Nessuno deve dire una cosa."

(I agree son. For now we leave it alone.  Nobody is to say a thing.)

Throughout their conversation I continued scrolling through my phone and replying to emails. I don't need them to know that I know Italian yet. But, them suspecting something is wrong is not good because they are going to start paying more attention to me. Ugh. Can I ever catch a break?

Alessandro cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. "Thank you farfalla for breakfast. Today everyone's schedule is clear. So we are spending the day together. First we are going shopping, then to lunch, and lastly back here for a movie night. So everyone head upstairs and come back down in 30 minutes to leave." (Butterfly)

Everyone quickly finished their breakfast while I headed to the living since I was already dressed. Thirty minutes later everyone was downstairs and arguing about who was going with who. For some reason everyone wanted me to ride with them. In the end I rode with Allessandro and Rafael in car 1. In car 2 Franco and Nicolo rode together while dad rode by himself. We took a matte black Audi R8, Franco and Nicolo took the black Lamborghini Veneno, and dad took the black Koenigsegg Trevita.

Pulling up into the parking lot all eyes were on us. Girls were looking at my brothers with lust and me with jealousy while guys were looking at my brothers with envy and me with lust. Noticing this, the boys tried to cover me and walk faster.

"What stores do you want to go to?" Franco asked.
"Nike, Adidas, H&M, Rue 21, Victoria Secret, Bath & Body Works and MAC.

Although I'm rich I don't like shopping in expensive stores unless I need to get really dressed up. But I already have outfits for when the time comes.
"Okay let's go everyone."

Four hours later we were done shopping. It went kind of nice minus us arguing over who would pay. Eventually we agreed we would split the price to satisfy everyone. They questioned why I had so much money but I just brushed it off and changed the subject.

It's finally time to go eat. We pull up to a restaurant and I can tell off the bat that it's theirs. We head inside and the hostess looks spooked before collecting herself.

"Mr. Moretti. Good evening. Your table in the back is prepared for you already. Please follow me and your waiter will come to you in a few minutes."
We follow her and head to the table. She looks me up and down then puts on a fake smile while trying to push her boobs up. *Throw up emoji*

"Enjoy your lunch."

Thank god she is gone her voice is freaking annoying. The boys start laughing and I'm confused. Noticing my confused face Rafael speaks up, "you said that out loud and I completely agree with you."
I make the o shape and a waiter comes up.

"What can I get you all to drink?"

"Water with lemon."
"Sweet tea."
"Sprite."
"Water."
"Water."
"And what about you beautiful?"

Not going to lie, the waiter is pretty cute but like I said boys are the last thing on my mind.
"I'll have a lemonade."

"I'll be back with your drinks shortly."

The boys interrupted into grumbles about how the boy was flirting openly in front of them. Soon enough the waiter came back with drinks. He took our order and we had a pretty okay time. They were laughing and joking with me sitting there and answering questions every now and then. Soon enough we left and arrived home.

We arrived home and everyone went to change. Everyone got into comfortable clothes and headed to the home theater. There were snacks and drinks already in the back. I ate pretty well at lunch so I wasn't planning on eating or drinking anything for the rest of the night.

"What are we watching?" dad asked.

"The Conjuring," Rafael screamed.

Nicolo and Franco began disagreeing almost immediately. But Rafael was waiting for my reaction. When he finally realized he would get nothing he played the movie. The movie played with Nicolo and Franco screaming most of the time and everyone else waiting for me to have a reaction. Again, I was not scared. There are only a few things that can scare me and one of them being him.

After the end of the movie, I went to my room to shower and change. If I knew what would happen in a few hours I wouldn't have even attempted to sleep.
