ALORA

FIVE

ALORA'S POV

I turned in bed to come face to face with a girl's face, I jumped so far I fell on the floor with a thump, bitch!

"Fuck!" I muttered as I rubbed my elbow I looked up to see the girl now laying on my bed her head on the edge, looking at me "what's with you guys and privacy?!" I raised my voice glaring at her, I stood up dusting invisible dust from my body

She just stayed there looking at me like a creep "what?!" I asked she looked Soo much like Miguel "mum said I should let you know that breakfast is ready" she said "it's like what? Six in the morning?" I asked "it's nine" she said giving me a 'seriously?' look....

I walked into the bathroom my hair everywhere like I was some kind of zombie, that's the problem with having full and long hair, and it doesn't help that I hate taking care of my hair

I just bathed and brushed my teeth, I dried my hair cause I hate it wet and tied a durag on it to avoid it getting all over the place and to also prevent anyone from knowing I didn't brush or rub anything on it, what? I'm lazy, okay?

I turned to see the girl still on my bed looking at me "aren't you supposed to be at breakfast or literally anywhere else?" I asked "I'd Walk with you" she said, "uh, no thank you, you can leave now" I said "nope, I'd do whatever I want" she fired back in a very calm tone, laying on her back and staring at the ceiling...

I think I like her, my lip lifted up to a little smirk, "alright let's go" she stood up and we walked to the door, she had the exact same features as the kid from last night, so I'm just gonna guess that they are twins

We walked through the hallway again just like yesterday and she walked me to the dining room, there were more men in the table than I could count, not surprising Mexicans always have this thing about love and family ......

As I sat at the table, I saw that everyone was dressed casually some still shirtless and some were in sweat shirt with sweat pants, I can't lie, the view was amazing

I followed the girl and sat beside her, I felt so out of place

"I've brought her!" The girl announced, and everyone's eyes snapped to our direction and I just looked up to observe the dining room, at the head sat Ricardo, to his left you could see a woman, maybe his wife I had no idea, to his right you would see Pablo, to his right, get it? Because he was his right-hand man

That's the most stupid thing I've ever heard, came my subconscious

Oh just forget it

Anyways back to my observation, to Pablo's right was the little boy from last night, and to Ricardo's wife left was the little girl from this morning and to the girl's left, you'd see a beautiful damsel in distress, me!

"Welcome Alora, I have heard a lot about you" came a woman's voice, I decided to drop my attitude for her "good things I suppose, Mrs Ortega" I said looking back down at the food on the table, it was Mexican something, I'd be lying if I told you I knew anything about Mexicans

She hummed "most of it" she said looking directly me at me, "well we can't always be winners" I said trying to eat what I had on my plate

"I hope you find her uhm.... Comfortable?" She asked, it was a though showing concern was weird for her, why the fuck is she even trying, it would be less awkward if she just let me eat my food and we both part ways

"Well I don't get enough privacy but who am I to complain right?" I said  "ahn, I see you've met the twins, they don't really know how the whole 'privacy' thing works, but I don't suppose you'd be needing that much of a privacy since you won't be doing anything bad, right?" she said calmly, everyone was quiet, listening in on our conversation, the way she said bad, made me know she didn't trust me, well good for her, she shouldn't trust me cause I don't even trust myself, but I just ignored her question

I looked up  to see the boy from last night "hey kiddo" I said "it's Miguel" he corrected with a glare "it's whatever I want it to be" I say with a smug smile and he just glared at me before going back to eating his food

I was never one to start up a conversation, infact I tried my best to avoid such, but the fact that Pablo didn't want to even glance at my direction, made me want to start a conversation with him, but yet I didn't, because I knew there was a fifty fifty chance that he won't reply

We were no longer in my house and therefore he owed me no form of kindness

But that didn't stop me from staring at him, he was a well built man, but he was not looking anything like family man, I didn't know how I was supposed to start a family with someone like this, I knew I couldn't hurt him in anyway unless I had a death wish, though I wasn't scared of death, I was scared of loosing someone I cared about

I always put my mother first..

**********
Later that day I was in the room I slept in, minding my business, then there was a knock on the door

I knew for sure it wasn't any of the twins, because those two didn't know what privacy meant

I opened the door and there stood Pablo in all his glory, he just side stepped me and walked in

"well Come on in" I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes and shutting the door behind me

"You shouldn't leave clothes lying around" he said, I think that was the first time I heard him form a sentence, and damn was he accent thick!

He walked to the couch close to the window of the room and used two fingers to pick the clothes that were there and dropped on the floor like it was some piece of shit, and I narrowed my eyes at him, but he didn't seem to care

"What do you want?"I asked

"I came to inform you that we would be sharing a room, since we would be married  soon"  he said sitting on the couch and staring out the window

"Uhm, no thank you" I said  laying on my bed

"Like I said I came to inform you, not to ask or to plead and I'm not necessarily going to be nice about it"

"Know that you can't force me to do shit" I said glaring at him, the nerve of this guy

"Oh really?" He asked

"Really" I clarified

"This is my house and you will follow my rules, if you dare misbehave I won't hesitate to put you in your place, I'm not like your previous suitors who died like pussies to a little girl, I won't hesitate to show you why those stories were made up in the first place" and before I could get any word out, I heard the door shut

He was gone......
