Aella's POV
After a couple more hours of Aubrey and I literally finding nothing that would help us, it was time to call it a day. We have gotten no sleep and i'm pretty sure since this is new to Aubrey, she must be exhausted.
It was officially 1 am when Aubrey yawned,
"You want to just end this and go to bed, you look exhausted Aub."
Mid yawn she replied,
"Yeah that sounds good, but I don't want to stay by myself A..." I laughed,
"I wasn't ever planning on letting you sleep alone dumbass, I just set my things in Alessandro's room out of habit. Plus , I don't think I can sleep in the same bed as him anymore, it's gonna take some time." just as Aubrey was about to reply, there was a knock on the door and Alessandro walked in,
" I'm back, I was just checking to make sure you were alright." he smiled
" Yeah we're good." I turned to Aubrey,
"I'll be right back." she nodded and turned away to the closet to what I assume get ready for bed.
Alessandro turned around and walked out, me trailing behind. He walked to his bedroom and into the bathroom, I closed the bedroom door behind us and waited for him to come out of the bathroom. After about 5 mins he came back out with just a towel wrapped around his waist while the sound of the water running filled the background. He looked at me,
"Gattina, You already know where my shirts are at, so just grab one while I take a shower, unless you want to join me??" he winked.
"Where were you today?" he walked into his closet and started rummaging around making himself busy, something he does when he wants to avoid confrontation.
"I was just handling some stuff to ensure your safety Aella." he picked up a black shirt and handed it to me,
"Well if it involves me, i'd like to know Alessandro." I grabbed the shirt and threw it back in the closet.
" Perché sei così arrabbiato, tutto quello che faccio è proteggerti. (why are you so upset, everything I do is to protect you.)" he walked closer to me and grabbed my hands,
"Once I figure everything out, you will be the first one I report to, I just want what's best for you. and as of now, I have no new information to share with you." I let go of his hands and walked towards the door.
"Bene." (fine) as I was about to walk out he said,
"Dove stai andando?" (where are you going?)
"To sleep Alessandro." and with that I walked out and made my way towards Aubrey's room. Once in there, we both showered and changed ridding ourselves of the events from earlier. As we were finally in bed, Aubrey turned to me and smiled,
"So what's up with you and the linguini boss?" I grabbed a pillow and smacked her in the face,
"Go to sleep Aubrey." I turned the other way but couldn't help and laugh to myself.
******************************************************************
The next morning I immediately woke up at 5 am and got out of bed, got dressed and headed to the gym before anyone else was awake. I really do need to speak with Luca whether he wants to listen or not, i'm going to say what needs to be said.
Knowing Luca for so long gave me insight into his mind, I knew for a fact that he was probably pissed and frustrated that I was back and that Alessandro welcomed me with open arms and whenever he was in one of his moods, even if he was happy, he would be in the gym hitting that damn punching bag.
Luca loved hitting things, it was how he got his message across, if he didn't like you, he would punch your head so hard he'd crack your skull but if he did like you, he would probably give you a broken nose. Unfortunately for Franco, he was always on the end of the "love punches" as we would call them.
I knew that if I had any chances of getting through to him, I would have to go in there and literally fight for my life. Luca didn't care if I was a girl, once you stepped in that room, you knew what you were getting yourself into, but he would never hit a girl if he wasn't training her. He's trained me before and I know when he was blowing punches at me he was holding back, but now that he's mad and has a motive, I don't know if he's going to be soft this time.
As I walked outside I noticed that the sun wasn't even up yet. I made my way over to the other side of the property where the gym was built, as I got closer I could hear the sounds of Luca's fists hitting the bag, I was fucked.
As I reached the door I took one big breath and opened the door. Luca knew I was here because as soon as I stepped inside, his punches became harder and faster. I didn't know how to approach him without him walking off so for the first 20 mins I went to the cobra bag and did some training of my own.
The tension in the room was thick, so thick I couldn't stand it anymore so I gathered all my guts and walked over to him, as I stood in front of him he didn't even so much as acknowledge I was there.
"So you're just going to pretend like i'm not here?" he continued to hit the bag
"So you don't even care what I have to say, you're not even going to let me explain myself Luca?" once again I was met with the sound of the punching bag. I took a big breath of air and decided that it was no or never.
"Im sorry ok. I didn't want to betray your trust, I wanted to tell you what was going on but I couldn't, I needed to figure it out by myself. I knew you would have told me how stupid I was being, but I guess that would've been a good thing because i've been nothing but a fuck up Luca and I needed you more than you think. I hated being alone. But I was selfish, I only thought about my happiness and I didn't think how it would affect you guys. I just wanted a way out without thinking of the consequences. There was so much weighing on my shoulders and I didn't want that anymore, I needed to be able to breathe again. I had dreams and I wanted to pursue them. I never wanted this life Luca, you knew that more than anyone. I didn't mean to hurt you or hurt your best friends or anyone for that matter but I had no other choice Luca. I hate to say it but I knew that if i told you, you would have held me back, and I needed this." finally the punching came to a stop and Luca started laughing,
"I, Aella, I would have held you back? You must not know me at all sweetheart. All I hear is excuse after excuse of why you turned into such a fuck up." he walked to me but the look he had in his eyes scared me and I started walking backwards until my back hit the wall and Luca was right in front of me,
" I would have done anything for you, if you wanted to leave, I would have gone with you, to protect you and be there whenever you needed me Aella. You were like a fucking sister to me, I loved the fuck out of you. You didn't just break Alessandro, you broke me too, and I don't think I can be mended like Alessandro can. Whatever we had, its done." He punched both sides of the wall next to my head and leaned down and snarled,
"Now, take your pity party somewhere else Aella, just because everyone else is acting like nothing happened doesn't mean I will. I'll do anything that my boss asks me to to ensure your safety but other than that, Non potrei dare un cazzo di te ( i couldn't give a fuck about you)" he looked at me one last time and smiled before walking back to the punching bag.
I collected myself and realized that tears had been slipping from my eyes. I looked at him one more time before making my way outside and back into the house. I got in the shower and stayed under the water for an hour reminding myself what a piece of shit I am. There really was no way I could come back from hurting Luca the way I did, and now I just have to live with it.
