Victoria's pov

Once Vincent and Gray said they had to go, I left the bathroom to only be met with Rick.

"Where did my brothers go?"

"I don't know. Work, maybe? They left me with you though."

I shrugged. Oh well. I like Rick more than I like them.

"I'm going to change."

"Okay. I'll be right here."

Rick told me while he turned on the TV in the room. I put on some sweatpants and a jumper. I walked over to Rick and sat with him. There wasn't a work spoken between us for the next 2 hours as we watch TV. Until one of my brothers came into the room.

"Knock knock. Anyone in here?"

"If you're looking for Ria, she's in here."

Rick responded, but neither of us bothered to move.

"Tori? I brought you some food. Jay told me to because you haven't had anything to eat yet."

I looked up to see Scout.

"Thanks. You can just bring it to me. I'll eat while watching the tv."

"Okay."

Scout set the try of food in my lap and left. I silently ate over the next hour until someone else came knocking on my door.

"Tori?"

"Mateo?"

I responded to him in a 'duh' voice.

"Hey. Javan said we could have some friends over since my mom and dad are gone for the rest of the week. And Kit. Just because of the ball you know? Anyway, you want to invite your friends over?"

"Uh...sure. I'll text them. Is Parker coming? I like him. He seems like a nice kid."

"I think so. I mean Ren is the one who's inviting people. He told me to ask if you wanted to invite your friends."

"Okay. Are we just hanging out around the house or like in the game room?"

"Just around the house. But no alcohol or smoking. Javan caught us last time and it didn't end pretty."

I chuckled at how Mateo was reacting to the memory.

"I'll be in one of the guest rooms of you need me principessa. I love you."

Rick kissed my head once he stood.

"Yo también te amo."
(I love you too.)

I responded to Rick in Spanish. He gives me a smile before leaving. Mateo took his spot on the couch and was staring at me while I texted the four people I know at school.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Are you trilingual?"

"Uh...I guess? I can also speak French, Russian, and do sign language."

"Dude! That is so cool! I wish I could speak more then Italian and English!"
