Perfect scars

Chapter 25

RODRIGO

I was outside at the pool area trying to find emelia, we NEEDED to talk. I spot her friend Nicole and walk over towards her. She looked nervous while I stood in front of her.
"Hey Nicole, have you seen emelia?" I ask.
"She's in the locker room" she shrugged.
"Can I go in?" I ask.
"Yeah she only uses the locker room to have a cigarette" she laughs.
"Ughh! I'm going to kill her" I mumble before storming into the locker rooms. And there she was, sitting with her friend Laura and smoking a cigarette.
"Really?" I roll my eyes.
"Rod, Hey!" She exclaimed and then put out the cigarette.
"Can we talk?" I sigh and she nods. We leave the locker room and I take her downtown to a small cafe on the corner. We took our seats and ordered a few cupcakes, Well I was forced to order the cupcakes.
"So what did you want to talk about?" She questioned.
"I need to know what you know" I say concerned.
"Know about what?" She shrugged.
"Diego and his men" I say and I could see the worry fall upon her face.
"Umm, I- uh" She stuttered in shock.
"Don't try to lie to me, Eli" I rolled my eyes.
"Fine" she mumbled. "Diego's got a business and it's all about guns and crime or whatever. Gael is involved and they are all criminals" she said quickly and I'm surprised to even hear a word she just said.
"So you don't know anything else?" I add.
"No because Diego is a stubborn asshole and won't tell me anything" she sighed.
"Well Just Leave it at that, Don't go snooping" I demanded.
"Thats not your choice to make" She snapped.
"But I'm your big brother and I want you to be safe" I sigh while she bites into her cupcake.
"Rod, I live in a penthouse with a gun trafficker. I'm going to find out either way" she explained.
"Your right, I know that. But I don't want you to think any less of me" I sigh miserably.
"Rodrigo, I'm your little sister. No matter what happens I'm always going to look up to you"  emelia smiled.
"Eli, whatever you do. Just be careful" I smile softly.
"I will" she nods while eating her cupcake. Emelia was my best friend ever since my mum turned on our whole family. I had to take care of Eli because our dad fell ill and he couldn't stand up for us. He was on the verge of dying last year but we were lucky enough to have doctors who were able to care for him. He's definitely recovering amazingly and I'm proud of him but I just wish he would come stay in America with me. My mother thinks she's got everything handled but I know for a fact that she would crumble if my dad died. That woman is nothing but a cold hearted monster and I'm glad I turned my back on her years ago.

EMELIA

Once Rodrigo and I finished talking I went up to my room to chill out for a bit. It's been exhausting today. I hear a knock at my door for the first time and damn I was shocked to see who walked in.
"You knock?" I joke.
"I do respect your privacy" Diego rolled his eyes while closing the door behind him.
"Mhm" I shrug while walking over to my wardrobe.
"Where you going?" Diego asked in his serious voice.
"I don't know" I shrug.
"Then why are you looking in your wardrobe?" He questioned.
"If you came in here to start an argument then leave" I roll my eyes and shut my wardrobe door. I looked him up and down, admiring him. Brown hair, green eyes, tight clothes. I still couldn't get over the fact that he was utterly gorgeous.
"Where did you go this morning?" He asked.
"I went to a cafe with my brother" I shrug.
"I'm guessing he had a chat with you" he sighed.
"He wanted to know what I knew" I add.
"He's just trying to protect you" he shrugged.
I took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes. "I want to know more" I sigh and Diego's face filled with worry.
"You What?" He exclaimed in shock.
"I want to know more about you and the others" I repeat.
"Emelia..." he sighed. "It's to dangerous"
"I thought that was going to be the answer" I roll my eyes while Diego gave me a cold glare.
"Don't use that tone with me, volcana" he raised his voice.
"I want to know what's going on here!" I snap.
"I just gave you the answer to why I'm not telling you" he snapped back.
"I'm An ADULT! I can take care of myself" I yell.
"Well your acting like a child" he rolled his eyes and walked towards the door.
"Please, Diego. I just want to know what's going on" I sigh. Diego turns back around slowly and looks directly in my eyes.
"Fine. But I swear, one word to Rodrigo and I'll kill you myself" he rolled his eyes and sat down on my bed. I sit down on the other side of the bed as he turns his body to face me. He took a deep breath and smiled softly.
"Okay so starting off with rei raja, he's a master thief. He can steal anything he lays his eyes on especially ladies hearts. He makes sure our armoury is stocked with new firearms and just extra stuff like that." He sighs.
"I always knew he was a ladies man" I joke.
"Explains why Reagan is pregnant" Diego added. "Anyway, Elijah knight. He's my eyes and ears in the LAPD, he makes sure that our business is under the radar at all times" he pauses for a second. "Then we have Cole Danvers, our explosive expert. He's served 6 years in the US marine corps and can dissemble and reassemble a firearm in under 4 minuets. After that we have Travis Raja, The brain of the group, the smartest out of all of us. He's our hacker and professional fighter. He is a certified genius with an iQ over 206. He can access any computer network around the world and they would never know he was there. He monitors all the national federal law enforcement agencies files" he takes a pause again. "Then your cousin Gael, a professional fighter plus a street racer. He knows every street in Mexico like the back of his hand, he's the best getaway driver there is. He's also one of my closest friends and I love him like a brother" he smiles.
"What about my brother?" I question.
"Rodrigo Ramirez, the most infamous street fighter there is. He also helps with our finances. Now don't freak out, he also works in money laundering" he sighs and I was shocked to hear that my brother would do such a thing.
"A What!?" I exclaim.
"You heard me" he rolled his eyes and got up off my bed.
"No way! Not so fast" I raise my voice. "You can't just tell me something like that and then leave me"
"What do you want me to say!?" He yelled.
"Is my brother safe?" I ask miserably.
"Of course he's safe! I wouldn't let him do his job if it was dangerous" he explained.
"Thank you for telling me" I sigh and turn around and grab my pyjama top from the counter.
"Is that all you want to know?" He asked as I stay turned away from him and take the shirt I already had on off.
"That's all" I shrug while fixing the bottom of my bra and then making sure my shirt was the right way around.
"I can see you in the mirror, volcana" he smirked as I turn around to him. Standing in my black comfy bra.
"That was the whole point, Romeo" I chuckle.
"Are you going to get dressed or will I continue to undress you" he smirked seductively.
This was my chance to mess with him, and I was going to get him good.
"What would you like to do?" I smile while walking closer to him.
"Mhm, your really driving me crazy" he sighs while I got even closer to him and ran my fingers down his arm.
"Is that right?" I smirk as I put both my hands on his shoulders while my shirt was still in my hand. He smiles softly as I closed off the space between us and dragged my hands slowly down to his chest. I could feel his racing heartbeat under my touch, I smile to myself while Diego closed his eyes and took a deep breath. I move my hands down to his muscular abs as his eyes open again.
"You worked out today? I can tell" I smirk and look up into his gaze. He looks down at me before leaning me down on my bed. I grab onto his shirt and pull him closer to me as I claim his lips. He leans down and places one hand beside me on the bed and the other gently on my thigh. I kiss him hungrily and I can feel the desire in his lips, as much as I wanted him. I had to play his game correctly. I pull my face away from him and whisper softly. "Looks like your needed, Boss" I smirk and push my body against his to get back up on my feet. "Hello, Elijah" I giggle before leaving my room and heading through to the kitchen. DAMN! I'm seriously good at this. I got Diego good but I know that his comeback was going to be worse.
