That One Night

- ⅩⅣ -

We got to Italy and it was technically the next day there.We got out of the jet and he never let go of my hand.We came to the house his driver took us to."What is this place?"

"My parents' manor.Where we met."I smiled."Like,literally where we met,right?"He nodded."I can show you where my bro-"Then a guy,looking so similar to Roman,came out.

"You look weirdly familiar,doesn't she Roman?"He got mad and I stepped up."Cordelia Remington.Any reason why I'm familiar now?"He turned to Roman."You finally got her,huh?"

I jumped in."He did need to get me.I was always his."I looked up at him and he was already looking down at me."Wow,you washed her brain,huh?"I turned back to his brother.

"Watch it."I rolled my eyes."If my brother wasn't here,you wouldn't dare to ta-"I cut him off."When I say 'watch it' it shouldn't be that hard to grasp the idea to shut the fuck up."

"Put a leash on your bitch,Roman."He growled!"You watch how you talk to her before I put a bullet in your head!""You're lucky you are older than me,Roman."

"I thought you had an older brother."He scoffed.I also have two younger ones.Adele,meet number three,Giovanni."Then a younger version of both of them appeared!

"And lastly,number four,Lorenzo.Just call them Gio and Enzo."I turned to Lorenzo."Hey."He leaned over to shake my hand but then backed away before he could.

"I don't think so,Lorenzo.I'm warning you both.No one touches what's mine."I looked at Lorenzo and sighed."Yeah,I don't think Enzo needs to be on the list to those you should be worried about."

"Really?"I looked at Enzo again.I gestured gay with my hand and he returned the gesture.I smiled widely."Roman,I like your girl!She and I will be besties."

"Just wait until I show you my pinterest page!"He winked at me and the rest was a bit confusing.Meh."I was wondering.He,she,they?Fluid?Agend-"

He cut me off."He.But I'm not actually a G person.I'm more of a...Q.I don't really know how I am described among the letters.Pretty much why I go with Q."I nodded.

"Good to know.I'm sorry if that was a bit too forward.We're not exactly friends,you know."He shrugged."It's cool.How about you?Second letter of the alphabet?Clearly one of them is involved."

"Second letter of the alphabet.I met my fair share of Ls in my life time,though.Had to dump a few too.It was truly brutal."He backed away."OOfff...That wasn't pretty was it?"

He shook his head.So did I."AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE?!"I flinched.I fucking flinched."Come with me."I walked with him and he locked me in a room.

"I'm sorry,Roman.I didn't mean to!You know I'm not used to it!You don't raise your voice at me!Please!"He punched the door."Tell me you didn't flinch right now."

"YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE!Please,Roman."It was too silent.I got too worried really quickly."Roman?Roman are you still there?!Just say a word!Please!Roman?!"

Enzo opened the door."Thank God!Where is Roman?!""I was going to my bedroom to go get ready.Roman,Gio and I are going to the night club we own for some business."

I sighed."So,Roman is alright?"He nodded."I shouldn't have talked to you in codes and secrecy.I shouldn't have done that.It pissed him off and he lost it.Then he thought I got scared and..."

"Hey,he's Roman.He has issues.It's not on you.Go get ready,I'm sure he would appreciate you coming with us."I shook my head."Could you just take me to him?Please?"

"Fine.Follow me."We saw three of them talking.I assumed it was their father but Enzo's actions just prove that he is."Go back!Go back,right now!"

"Is it because of your father?Oh,fuck off,Enzo."I went over there."Roman?"All three of them looked down at me.I'm wearing heels for fuck's sake!

"Who the fuck is this whore,Roman?"I scoffed."Excuse you?!The only fucking person who can call me that is Roman and you are definitely not Roman!"

His dad raised his hand to hit me but Roman caught it."She is my property.She knows that well and if you call her a whore again,I'll be the one putting you back to your place,father."

"For one whiny girl,you are ready to go against your own father?!"He striked at Roman and he didn't stop him."In fact,I am."

Roman got me by hand and took me back to our bedroom."Why did you leave and who let you out?!"I sighed."It was Enzo and I asked him to bring me to you.I was worried about you,Roman!"

"You had no reason to worry.This is my house,I'm in charge!""You always speak about how protected I should be because you care about me!Why can't you see I'm batshit worried about you?!"

"Do you want me to kiss you that fucking bad?!""I'VE BEEN WANTING THAT FOR TEN YEARS,ROMAN!"I sighed and stepped over to him.

"Why are you that afraid?Because,I'm not.I'm not afraid of you,Roman.I just had to see you after what happened."I reached out to his face."I just want to be reminded of how it felt.One time."

I was a needy mess.A desperate girl for just one kiss.It has been a week and all he did was forehead kisses,which I find extremely heartwarming.

"Don't you think I want to,Adele?Don't you think this is enough torture?Having you around is enough torture for me?You're not going to like what you will see."

I shrugged."Let me decide that one,huh?"He leaned in and left a soft longing peck on the lips.My hand went at the back of his neck to keep on.As soft as it kept going,he couldn't hold back longer.

Etheral...Out of this world...Hell,universe!It felt euphoric,angelic...But he was being rough at the same time with hell fury."We need to stop.""No,we don't."

He took off my top as we kept going.Whenever my hands went to his shirts buttons,he pushed them away.I got mad and popped the buttons!

I saw all those scars and..."Was this what you were afraid of?These...scars?Why would you try to hide them from me?If I feel something for you,it will be for all of you.Scars and all."

"It doesn't end there,Adele."He took out his shirt off completely.His arms,shoulders,his entire ba-My eyes shifted to the tattoo.The tattoo of my name.

I reached out and when my finger tip grazed his skin,he turned back around."May I?"He turned his back to me again."Why a rose?"He chuckled."You love them.You always have."

"I still do.They're still my favorite in the entire world.But...why my middle name?""Because,as German as your names origin is,it is also Italian."I sighed.

I had to look him in the eye and I turned him around."You are perfect for me the way you are.I don't care what other people have said to you over the years but I care for you just the way you are."

"I'm going to go talk to Gio.Tell him,I'm not coming."I shook my head."I'm sure they wouldn't ask you to be there for no reason.You can take me with you if you want."

He smirked."It's either you come with me or I stay.Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to show off with my woman."I smiled sheepishly as I blushed."Choose what I wear?"

He went to my suitcase and picked out my outfit.
