I nod letting him know he has my attention. "They will be your guards until further notice." He tells me sternly
What
The
Fuck?
My jaw drops and my shoulders hunch over. I look at Salvatore and Alessandro and realize they aren't kidding. I collect myself, putting my invisible mask back on.
"May I ask why?" I question intently
The room grows tense once again, but I pretend not to notice. "It's for your safety." Alessandro replies, looking at me with softer eyes than his tone
I hold back a scoff. "And what exactly are they supposed to be protecting me from?" I question
Stop poking the bear
No.
In my peripheral vision I see Jason and Ashton acting as clueless as myself.
They got the memo. Good.
The boys in the room tense slightly at my question. Matteo quickly replies "After what happened yesterday, we just want you to be safe."
I lean back in my chair crossing my right leg over my left. "If I remember correctly, Xander was the one with a sniper aimed at his head, not me." I counter, a hint of annoyance in my tone
"They won't be invading your privacy. They will just follow you to school and when you leave the house. They will also be posted closer to your bedroom in case something were to happen." Salvatore calmly tells me, avoiding my statement
Maybe that trait is genetic
"You mean more guards than normal? I'm not an idiot. I already know 3 black SUVs follow us to school every morning." I remark
I see Jay run his tongue over his teeth to refrain from smirking. "I told you she knew" Luca mumbles, but I understood him perfectly
I turn my attention back to Salvatore. "You're very observant Laura." He tells me holding back a smirk
"I thought we knew this already" I reply smirking, trying to lighten the mood
Blondie catches my attention when his lips turn up in amusement as he stands behind Alessandro. Javier and Xavier cough covering up a laugh.
"I'm not getting out of this, am I?" I question
"No" Alessandro and Salvatore sternly reply
I nod my head knowing if I need to, I can avoid them. I am an assassin after all. "Does this mean I'm their boss for the time being?" I ask in a serious tone
Alessandro raises an eyebrow and looks to Salvatore for an answer. "Sure" My biological father replies a little hesitant
"Perfect" I reply clasping my hands together. I get up from my seat and walk into the kitchen. I grab two plates and fill them up with left over food from breakfast. I place both paper plates in the microwave and wait for the food to heat up.
