The Rebel Queen

2 - Old Friend

William

After telling Ayla to go to her room, I went to the living room to see who came to my house at this time.

As soon as I step into the living room, I instantly recognized the faces I'm seeing. The Bianchi family. " You aged well" Lorenzo smiled widely and gave me a brotherly hug.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Mr. Winters. " Alessandro says to me.  " Alessandro right? I remembered when you were just a little boy" He nodded and give me a small smile. 

" Good to see you again, Will " Marie hugged me with tears in her eyes.

Me, Lorenzo, Jared, Marie, and Anne were friends from way back for as long as I can remember. 

The Bianchi family and I decided to sit down and talk about what has been happening in our life for the past 17 years. 

It was originally Jared , Anne , Marie and me in the friend group since lower school but in the 6th grade, Lorenzo moved here as the new student.

It was 3 am in the morning when we all four heard a glass shattered in the kitchen. Lorenzo and Alessandro automatically pulls out their gun and went on the ready-to-shoot position. It was no secret that these two were in the mafia especially the reason they're here to invite me and Ayla to Alessandro's coronation to be the next Italian Mafia leader.

I also went to my drawer to pull out my safety gun that I always kept in the safe box under the couch in case something happened.

Ayla

It was 3 am when I woke up. I went through my phone to try to get myself back to fall asleep but I can't. I decided to go downstairs to make some food because a girl will never be full.

I saw that there's still a car outside the door so that means people that come after dinner last night are still here.

I quietly make my way downstairs to the kitchen. " What should I do that is simple and easy to make?" I thought to myself. I was still lost in the thought when suddenly I hit the glass jar that was on top of the countertop. 

" Shit " I mumbled. 

I quickly went down on the floor to collect the glass pieces so there will be no unwanted things happened. I was about to stand up when I sensed that there's somebody behind me with a gun pointing at me. Without thinking twice, I turn around and tackled the person behind me. 

I swiftly kneed the person's groin in the hope it's a guy so it would hurt. 

The guy dropped his gun and I hastily point it back at him while saying " Who the fuck are you and what are doing in my house you motherfucker? "

 I silently hoping that I was pointing at his head because my smartass forgets to turn on the light when I went downstairs.

 As he was about to respond, the light turned on. " Thank fuck " I had to adjust my eyesight due to the darkness just now. I look up and saw the most gorgeous and captivating emerald eyes I have ever seen.

" What happened here? " My train of thoughts was interrupted when my dad come closer to me and took the gun out of my hand and hold it while examining my body for injuries. 

" Princess, you're bleeding. What happens? Why were pointing a gun at him? Oh shit, there's glass stuck on your hand" Dad started to ramble on and on about careless I was. He then stopped and look at the guy that was standing in front of me. 

" Um I'm sorry on her behalf, Alessandro. " dad said to him. Alessandro give him a tight smile and clenched his jaw looking at my connected hand with dad. 

" The fuck he looking at? " I say to myself. " You can go to the living room first. I'll call someone to clean this up and I'll be there soon with a first aid kit, princess" he said looking at Alessandro and the doorway when I realized there were two more people, a man a women who stood there looking at me intently.

"It's fine, I can treat this wound myself," I say giving him small smile. " Please don't argue with me about this right now," he said giving me a warning look. " Okay okay, I'll be in the living room " I give in and walk to the living room.

I was sitting with the three people from the kitchen just now in silence when I decided to break it. I look at the guy name Alessandro. " I'm sorry for kneading you at the balls after you pointed a gun on my head," I said while giving him apologetic looks. He just stares at my face and says " And how will your 'sorry' help me if I'm fucking infertile after this? " 

I just look at him confused. " Okay, first of all, I said I'm sorry. Secondly, stop being a  fucking baby. I didn't even knead you that hard that you'll be infertile " 

I say and rolled my eyes.
