Ximena's Pov
When I woke up it was storming outside. I looked at the time on my phone it was midday so I decided to head back to my own room.

I got dressed before walking over to my doors to the balcony at the back of my room.

After debating for a few minutes I decided to go outside I lay in the rain, something I have loved to do since I could remember normally I do it alone but this time I have Bandit with me he is happily laying on my stomach.

I don't know how long I spent there but at some point I was interrupted by someone picking me and Bandit up.

"Umm excuse me we were  enjoying ourselves out there!" I said before opening my eyes to see who had come to get me.

"By giving yourself hypothermia. I don't think so anyway you missed breakfast and lunch and tea is almost ready, so go shower, change into warm clothes and come and join us." Lorenzo said lightly pushing me in the direction of my bathroom making me giggle while he walked off.

I did as he said and changed into my blue gray Nike joggers and jumper.

I slowly and nervously walked downstairs unsure of what was about to go down

I slowly and nervously walked downstairs unsure of what was about to go down.

I looked to the head of the table to see Alessandro staring with a blank face ahead, Lorenzo along with the rest of my brothers were glaring at him.

I have no idea what I missed but clearly no one including myself is too happy with Alessandro's recent behavior.

Lorenzo was the first to speak up.

"Nice to see you actually own some warm clothes hermana." He said smirking.
(Sister)

"Well, someone interrupted my storm ritual so I kind of had to." I pouted.

He just smirked proud of himself like he wasn't just a jackass.

"Pizza is in the kitchen if you guys just take ur plates and help yourselves it probably easier." Santiago spoke from the kitchen.

I got up first and helped myself to maybe three slices of pizza at most.

I was okay with pizza I would just rather anything less greasy but I am living with five men what else would you expect.

Once I was finished I went upstairs and sat with Bandit before taking him for a wash because he smelt of wet dog.

I took him out the bath and dried him off before returning to my bed with him on my chest again he was staring up at me while trying not to fall asleep.

I was trying to stay awake too, Santiago joined us after a couple more minutes he cuddled me and that's when the tiredness hit me.

I put my head on his chest and fell asleep in a matter of minutes.

Having had trouble sleeping all my life the fact that these boys make me sleep like a baby scares me.

I love them but this is scary because the only other person I can sleep around is Ajax.

Time skip two weeks

Since it had been a while I decided to head out to train and help anyone at our gym today.

"Good day Leonard, good day Lorenzo, glad to see you're alive its been a while since you were home should I tell the others that you've been with your boyfriend." I joked giving them a knowing luck.

"Sure, we made official like yesterday so sure bubs." Lorenzo said smirking.

"Congrats you two love you both but now I am going to see if anyone needs my help." I said chucking my bag next to Leonard's desk.

I was walking over to where Ace was working out, I tapped his shoulder making him jump before engulfing me into a hug.

He smiled at me, god I love this boy. He is like a sixth brother.

He didn't let go of me he just clung to me like a koala.

"You okay buddy?" I asked him moving his hair out of his face.

He shook his head and laid it against my shoulder, Leonard walked over to me wondering what was happening as well.

"I missed you and all the guys have been making fun of me saying that since ur not here they have every right to beat the shit out of me." He said quietly, it was then that I realized he had a fading black eye.

"Which one of those fuckers has a death wish?" I muttered under my breath.

Ace looked exhausted like he hadn't slept in weeks.

"Hey did anything else happen?" I asked him.

"I just felt like if I slept they would do something, something worse than what they had already done so I didn't sleep." He said rooming his head into my shoulder.

I walked the two of us to Leonard's office where I lay down on the couch running my hands through Ace's hair calming him enough that he fell asleep almost straight away.

"You need to sort those little shits out Leonard this should've never happened. Who knows how long it been since he last slept." I said quietly trying not to wake Ace until he had slept for a while.

Leonard nodded and left the office closing the door before storming out to yell at the other recruits who are mostly older than Ace meaning they were all most likely jealous of the fact I trained him and not them.

Leonard came back after yelling for a good while. The recruits then all left the gym meaning he had revoked their gym privileges for the time being.

He smiled at me as I joined Ace in napping. I was tired I don't remember the last time I slept well.

Ajax was on a mission for the last couple days and wouldn't be back until the end of the week so I was nervous about him and how his mission was going.

Sleeping felt so good.
