31 - Decisions, Decisions

Teresa let out an annoyed groan as she was slapped in the head with a pillow, rudely waking her from her sleep.

Huffing, she turned around, rubbing her eyes and she saw a fuming Adriano. "What's wrong?" She stretched and he threw something at her, hitting the pillow. Furrowing her eyebrows, she opened the bag, and pulled out an inhaler and she huffed, finding his eyes. "He told you"

He nodded," I'm sorry" She sighed.

"I understand not telling him, but me? I thought we were at least better than that"

Teresa threw herself back on her pillow hollering, "It wasn't an issue!"

"It is now. Keep that on you every fucking where you go"

He walked out the room, slamming the door. She called after him, getting out the bed and setting the inhaler on the nightstand, her morning ruined. She heard barking and her door opened, Rolo running in first and Nina following afterwards, looking back like she saw a ghost. "Why does he look like he's going to kill someone?"

Never know, Teresa thought.

Since it wasn't a secret, Teresa told Nina, excluding how they found out and who actually found out. Luciano. " He's just worried. Wanting to know of these things so you both can avoid them" Teresa understood and nodded, picking up Rolo.

Ricco called again, but she declined, wanting him to know she did. And when she did, she heard a horn being honked outside. She looked out her window with a groan as she saw Ricco's car outside. Setting Rolo down and throwing on a shirt, she stomped downstairs, Nina being nosey, followed her.

Ricco saw her open the door and she stomped up to him and said "Leave now"

He completely ignored her, looking behind her at Nina who felt intimidated and folded her arms, showing she wasn't afraid.

"Who is she?" He questioned.

"None of your concern. Leave" She said, more demanding.

"After" He said and she huffed.

"After what?"

He pressed a button on his car keys and his trunk popped open. He lifted it up and Teresa fought to keep her eyes from widening in surprise and excitement, Nina didn't think so when she said "Holy shit!"

Teresa turned around and Nina apologized, her eyes entranced on the luxury stacked in Ricco's trunk.

"I don't want it," Teresa said, lying.

"In Milan, you asked for a new wardrobe, here it is and more"

Teresa began to argue, but then she thought of something better. She smiled, "Your right" He smiled and she turned to Nina,

"Remember you said you wanted half of my wardrobe? Well it's all yours"

Ricco frowned and huffed, clearly disliking what she did. "Can I talk to you alone?" He asked and Teresa knew whatever he was going to say could be something Nina shouldn't hear so she asked Nina to go inside. She huffed and complained, but she obliged.

Ricco walked up to Teresa and she took a step back. "I am begging you. Please tell me what to do to fix this"

Teresa stared at him and bit her lip wondering if she should use this to her advantage. And she chose yes.

" Who are your allies?"

" What do you mean?" He asked, confused.

" You broke my trust, Ricco, gain it back."

" Mireia-" He took a step back and she took one forward saying, " Do you want me to walk away?"

He turned his head, his jaw clenching.
