mafia madness

fancy man

chapter 6

"hey matteo do you have a gym here?" i asked "yeah i'll ask mairlyn to take you down just now"
"oh no i'll find my way with all the signs you've put up" "i forgot about those" he chuckled

i made my way to his room to start getting ready to go to the gym i shoved on a sports bra and some gym leggings and put my hair in a high pony then i went to the gym
when i got to the gym i seen another man i just ignored him and tried to concentrate on my workout
the man came over "hey i'm lorenzo i'm matteos big brother i assume you've met my brother right?"
"yeah i have i'm raelyn" i said while giving him a friendly hug
"so raelyn are you from around here?" he questioned
"not from this area no it's kind of a long story i lived in an apartment in the east with my abusive alcoholic boyfriend but your brothers took me under his wing to keep me save and let me stay here but it's only till i get on my feet then i plan to move out i don't want to take up room for long"
"take up room?" he asked
"well yeah i must be a bother, having to do extra washing, make extra food, extra cleaning i'm obviously a bother in some sort"
"if you were a bother button matteo would've kicked you out a while ago" he said while lifting my chin so i'd be making eye contact with him
"well in that case i better be getting my workout in incase he wants to kick me out" i said laughing while walking away.

i just thought to myself ''button'' that's a name i've never heard before but i liked it.

i put in my airpods to listen to music then i started to get my workout in i completely forgot i wasn't in my sisters gym and that the weights wouldn't be in 50kg like they usually are ready for me and i tried to lift matteos 150kg weight and before i knew it fell on me landing on my chest i screamed in pain the next minute everything was black, i fainted.

i woke up in the hospital surrounded by three people i couldn't make out who they were because my vision was still blurred but once it got slightly more clear i rubbed my eyes and said mairlyn, matteo and lorenzo at the same time they all said "raelyn" but lorenzo said "button" they just turned to look at him and lorenzo just shrugged.

matteos pov
i was so glad to see raelyn was okay when she woke up and rubbed her eyes i cant imagine how much pain she would be in but i have no idea why she had lorenzos 150kg weight in the first place i understand she might've wanted to challenge herself but i thought she would've known her limit.
when she woke up me and mairlyn said "raelyn?" but lorenzo said "button" which confused me i looked over to him in confusion and irritated and he just shrugged
"lorenzo come outside we need to talk" i said in an attitude hinting i was pissed off at him "right behind you bro" he said concerned
we were outside her room i guided him to go outside the building "is it really this serious man" lorenzo said to me i ignored him and kept walking he just scoffed "bro what's this all about" "wait till we get outside lorenzo" i said i was so much more mature and patient than lorenzo i'm only like 3 minutes older but i'm the mature more put together twin lorenzo on the other half he's loose of his head wasn't attached he would forget it in his kitchen counter or something stupid like that it wouldn't surprise me when he was younger when he'd wake up on a saturday leave for school with his backpack upside down and his shoes on the wrong feet we just left him until he walked home in a huff then stifled to take his back off then trip over his feet mairlyn and i found it hilarious.

we were now outside the building
"button? fucking button" i raised my voice "yeah what about button" he asked "she isn't your button lorenzo" "it's only a nickname bro out matteo jesus there's people here can we not argue about this back home" "fine but all i'm saying is raelyn isn't your button lorenzo" and i said button in a sarcastic tone hopefully make him catch on to the hint that i liked raelyn but he didn't.
"not for long" he mumbled under his breath he thought i didn't hear it but of course i did i just didn't react how we expected me to,
"your not her fucking fancy man lorenzo" i growled sharply,
after that he just ignored me and followed me back up to the hospital room.

raelyns pov
i had just woke up after god knows how long i was so embarrassed i should've realised i wasn't in my usual gym at my usual weight i was so stupid right in front of lorenzo as well i can only imagine how disgusting i looked i don't even want to face the two boys.
"m-mairlyn" i said stuttering "yes dear?" "how long have i been here for"
"only a couple hours honey the nurse said it's nothing to serious just a bruising on the rib and you'll have go take a break from the gym for a few months" she said looking down
"i cant give up the gym mairlyn i'll go out of shape i cant have that happen" i said tearing up "as long as you keep a good diet you can go out runs and jogs and stuff" she was cut off as the doctor walked in
"ah raelyn i see you've woken up" i nodded in agreement, "you can go home whenever but you have to leave the gym for three weeks then go back to little workouts such as warmups and workouts that don't include equipment."
"i'll miss the gym" i said with my head in my hands i look at mairlyn "why am i so stupid i should've known these men are so much stronger than me and they would've had it on a heavy weight i'm so so stupid mairlyn i really am, "no you aren't hunny don't say that you just forgot the environment you were in things like this are common it's not your fault" she claimed the doctor nodded "she's right raelyn" then walked out.
after the nurse walked out the two boys came back in i was so embarrassed "hi matteo hi lorenzo"
"hi raelyn" they both said "how are you feeling?" matteo asked "better now i think i'm going to pack my stuff soon and get ready to come back to the penthouse.
"are the doctors okay with her coming home mairlyn?" matteo asked
"yes matteo they are" she said
"are you sure?" lorenzo butted in
"yes guys jesus christ i'm allowed to leave whenever" i huffed
"okay okay" the twins both say.

it's weird how they can say the same thing at the same time it's interesting at the same time, i couldn't help but think to myself how come i'd never seen lorenzo around before not even in the kitchen i was so confused but i just brushed it off.

i packed all my stuff and we were heading out i had to sign out the hospital at first so they didn't think i was missing or anything and once i done that we headed to the car i noticed they brought the tesla instead of the gwaggon,
"why the tesla matteo?" i questioned
"we have to pick up a few others on the way home we're having a party" he said smirking "oh i don't have anything to wear for a party though"
"don't worry hunny i've bought you a lovely gown already" mairlyn said looking back at me smiling
"oh thank you so much how much did it cost i'll pay you back" "that's for me to know and for you never to find out, you don't have to pay me back dear"
"are you sure i feel bad mairlyn"
"don't be silly hunny i insist" she said
"if you wish mairlyn" i said while smiling at her.
