The Kiss Of The Vendetta

The start

Have you ever felt a burning desire for something you know isn't right? The way he makes me feel lgnites a fire in me that I didn't know I had. Let's start from the beginning, shall we?

"Hurry up, Valentina!", Vincenzo screamed from the bottom of the stairs. "We're going to be late", he added. I quickly tried to gather everything I needed. I ran down the stairs as fast as I could, cause I knew we definitely couldn't be late to this. "What the hell are you wearing?" Vincenzo snapped. "A dress" I added. "There is no way I am leaving with you looking like that. You look like you are desperately trying to get laid" he said. "And what if I am?" I pouted and stared him down.

His face showed disgust after what I had just said. "As your older brother I can't let you leave the house looking like that" he mentioned while crossing his arms. "Number one, we're twins. You were born a minute before me. And two, I don't need your lectures. We can't be late, and you know it."  I walked past him quickly before he could even respond to what I had just said. I understand his point though. I am wearing a tiny red skin tight dress, with red bottom black heels. I wasn't trying to get laid, I just wanted to look good. Mostly to catch a guys attention.

The car ride was brutal. I sat in the passenger seat while Vincenzo exchanged dirty glares with me. I reached over to try and turn the music on to break this horrible silence. Right when I went to reach he hit my hand down. So we ended up staying in the silence he created. We finally arrive to our destination. Vincenzo opened my door, like he always does. He looked me up and down and in a snarky tone he said "He is going to kill you for showing up like that". "Why would he care? He abandoned us, did you forget about that?" I gritted through my teeth. "So why would he care what I wear?'. I stormed straight to the double doors and knocked.

Opening the door was a tiny blonde woman. She had to be around my age, at least. She smiled and awkwardly and said "Come in you two." Acting like she already knew who we were. On the couch was my father with a glass of brandy in his hand. Looks like his sobriety phase is over. As we walked in she announced we were here in an exciting tone. Vincenzo and I looked at each other with puzzled looks. My father stood up and commented, "Do you not have any normal clothing?". "No, I don't." I replied with a faded smile. "Where is Luca?" I asked excitedly. "He's not here" he said. "Oh" I said sadly looking down to the ground. "Why?" My father added; "Is that why you dressed like a little whore? To get his attention?" He started walking towards me and I quickly backed up into Vincenzo. Quickly the little blonde girl grabbed my father's arm saying "That's enough Antonio." She looked at Vincenzo and I and smiled while saying, "Come to the dining room, I made dinner." I stared at my brother and he stared back, I think we both realized who she really was. I spoke softly but kindly, "Maybe this will be the fresh start he had wanted". I added a smile which got a confused look from both Vincenzo and my father.
