In my blood

10~my safe place

Raven's pov:

Romano left a short while after us talking not making it much of a deal, however he did make me promise that I wouldn't tell anyone about his child hood, as it would make him seem more 'weak' and 'vulnerable'. At some extent I agree, but your childhood doesn't determine on who you are or even become when you are older, most of the time that's on you.

I'm not one to speak my childhood was pretty shit too.

I get myself into my bed and scroll trough my phone for a while, until I eventually get bored. (this is an occurrence that happens every night).

****

"Wake up bitch!" I hear a very energetic voice say.

I pull the covers onto my head, as someone opens up the blinds revealing the bright sun.

"Fuck of I'm trying to sleep" I mumble tiredly. Suddenly the covers are pulled of my body revealing me in an oversized shirt that had been slightly pulled up revealing my thong and part of my chest.

I squint my eyes due to the bright sun trying to see who woke me up. I grunt seeing Maria hovering over my body smiling sheepishly I look behind her seeing Romano and Alessandro sanding there awkwardly behind her. I see Romano's slightly smirking to himself as he looks up and down my body. I quickly pull my shirt down sitting up properly on my bed.

"What the fuck is wrong with all of you?" I say annoyed. "I hate being woken up." I mumble.

I let out a yawn standing up and starting to make my bed. "What are you all standing for? You clearly woke me up for a reason right?" I utter. I see Alessandro rub his neck awkwardly whispering to Maria that he's going to go and get the maid to get breakfast going. Romano stays and just stands there admiring my tired body.

"We woke you up because we have a meeting in about two hours, and i know how much you like 'preparing' yourself, whatever that even means." Romano says behind me sending chills down my spine.

I see Maria raise her eyebrow and then suddenly her jaw drops. "You two fucked didn't you?" She whisper shouts not letting Alessandro or any of the guards hear.

Both me and Romano cock our heads to her my eyebrows raised. I cough awkwardly not knowing what to say. I mean we did, but did it even mean anything to me? or to him?

"Yes we did, and what?" Romano says confidently throwing a pillow at Maria.

Mine and Maria eyes widen at the confident voice. I cough again a bit louder this time though trying to break the awkward eye contact me and Maria held, I genuinely couldn't tell if she was pissed at the fact that I slept with him or pissed at the fact that i didn't tell her.

"And you didn't fucking tell me? The fucking audacity of this bitch." Maria smirks nudging me and winking however, not letting Romano see. "I need to know every the detail bitch" She whispers, but it was loud enough for Romano to hear.

"I'll let you too talk, amore please don't take too long to get ready." Romano comments before leaving and closing my door.

"Seee he's already going all puppy dog eyes for you, I hope you realise the power you hold right now Raven-you can practically make him do anything you want right now!" Maria utters shoving me to my vanity and proceeds to brush my short soft hair.

I slightly smile at the thought of Romano doing anything I please. "You really think? It was a one time thing, I doubt he's already head over heels for me." I laugh starting to do my makeup.

"Who wouldn't be head over heels for you?" She laughs grabbing the straightener and starts to straighten my hair gently.

I laugh shoving her slightly, I look up at myself in the mirror Maria looking back directly at me. "He's in love"
